Sub-Forums under the name

[APL88]

Hello everyone. I am from Tallarico.com where I am an administrator. We are currently making some small tweaks and changes, and one of the things I am having trouble with, is figuring out how to get the a forum to list the sub-forums under the name of the forum.

You can see the perfect example in this picture. I really need help doing this to make the web-site flow more naturual.

Here is a picture of an example.

[APL88]

For now, as you can see, I just added HTML links under it, but I would like to change the color of those links if possible.

What version are we talking about?

PHP VERSION: 4.3.11, MySQL VERSION: 4.0.22-standard

I would really appreciate the help, it looks so sloppy the way I have it.

IPB version, not PHP/SQL.

1.3.*, 2.*?

[Espada04]

From the looks of it.. I can safely assume your using 1.3 or 1.3.1 or lower..

in that case..

If I'm reading this right.. you want to put links to the sub-forums in the forum display thing like it automatically does in 2.0 right ?

if so.. you'll have to hard mod it in the forum descriptions manually. as in 1.3.x or lower.. it doesnt do that for you..

it however does that for you in 2.0.x :)

[APL88]

Yeah I dont know what version we are using but we are behind and I am contacting the person incharge of updates asap.

[Espada04]

well.. it should tell you at the bottom of the each page of ur forum..

like what they have here

Invision Power Board  v2.0.4 ? 2005  IPS, Inc.

:pp

besides.. if u currently dont have a licence.. you need to pay for a licence so u can upgrade to the latest version..

[APL88]

Yeah I wil talk to Tommy about upgrading this weekend, good thing I'm not the one paying :D

---------------

In the meantime, is there a way I can change all the links of the sub forums that I am adding in there manually to a different color, like gray?

I just had a look at your board; 1.2

I suggest you get a license and upgrade to 2.*. I have and I'm glad I did. :)

Yeah, what is the update process like? That is the only thing that scares me.

[APL88]

This is all of the HTML that I am currently ussing to add those cheap sub-links, until we can upgrade of software. I need to find a way to make the links look different from the links around it so it isnt so ugly and bland.

i doesn't suck really. i used it up until i bought a license...

[APL88]

Yeah, I know it is a lot better, but again I am not in charge of this. Thanks to everoyne for the help, but what do you guys think of the look I emulated.. is it close?

1.2 to 2.* skinning has changed alot, that's for one.

But the upgrade to 2.* should be smooth.

The way the upgrader works is that it updates to every version along the way, like for example, your upgrade would go like:

1.2 > 1.3 > 1.3.1 > 2.0.0 > 2.0.1 > 2.0.2 > 2.0.3 > 2.0.4

I think at least, i've never done a upgrade from 1.2 to 2.0.4, but based on my other experience, that's the basic idea of what the upgrader does.

All your posts, topics, members should remain safe. I doubt anything other than skinning will go wrong.

HTH. :)

I see they give us the option of letting them upgrade our message boards, if we pay them to do it wil they promise to have everything in tact?

Ah right, forgot to mention that. They will make sure that the upgrade goes as smoothly as possible. But I think the skinning is left up to you, correct me if I'm wrong; i've never had IPS upgrade my forums for me.

A good idea would be to import the skin onto a test forum and then smooth everything out and then when you upgrade your forum to the latest version, you'll be all set already. ;)

[Espada04]

if IPS upgrades for you.. they will only upgrade the forum software and use their default skin.

as anything from 2.0.0PF4 or eariler skins wont work on 2.0.4 they wont upgrade it for you. and thats left for you to do.. but IIRC you can pay them extra to upgrade the skin as well.

but it would prolly cost big bucks to do so :p

the upgrade should go smooth.. afterall its IPS tech staff that has the most experience in doing stuff like these.. :p

[Tomi]

If you pay them, they most likely will. I think I read it on their site, not sure thou.
