Hiding forums on forum list page

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I want to hide the forums of a category on the welcome page (when you clik on the category title, it hides or shows the forums). Any advice to do this ? I suppose that I will modify forum_list.htm and eventually some stuff in forumAction ...

Any tip would be welcome..

Thanks

You should be able to do this with just a template modification. I do this in a lot of my code by wrapping the stuff I want to show/hide in divs and using a couple of styles like:

.hidden {
	display: none;
}

.visible {
	display: inline;
}

Then I use some JavaScript code that checks the div's className property and swaps in the style. E.g.:

function nowYouSeeMe( divId ){

  if  ( divId.className == "hidden" ) { 
    divId.className = "visible";
  } else {
    divId.className = "hidden";
  }
}

This function is tied to an onclick event on the page. E.g.:

<div onclick="nowYouSeeMe(document.cat1)">....category title info.. </div>
<div id="cat1" class=".hidden">
...forum listing...
</div>
