Joining of Catagories

[marklcfc]

Looks fantastic on board index..

Would really like something like this on my Invision forum. Any tutorials or help on how to? :)

Search for "catend" in your HTML templates.

What do you mean by joining of categories?

[marklcfc]

Well, the default view is here

As you can see, the catagories are seperated. On here they are joined with collaspe icons to minimize each sub catagory.

Search for "catend" in your HTML templates.

That's basically all you need to do, someone asked how to do this awhile ago and I explained here in alittle more detail on how to: click here

That doesn't include the option to collaspe and expand a catagory.

What Joel and I said, works. You want it to look like the board index of Neowin? all together? Then what we both said is what you want to do. It will not remove the option to collapse or expand the category.

Yes I do want that, but it doesn't work -

The only way i've got it to work is how my forum is currently looking - www.foxestalk.co.uk . But there are no collaspe/expands, and when you click a sub catagory it looks horrible.

tm that was the topic I was linking him to before that I had posted in. :)

But marklcfc, it looks like you removed the collapse and expand button yourself.

Edit your skin template then go to Board Index and then find "CatHeader_Expanded"

Make you see the following at the beginning in that template:

<div class="borderwrap" style="display:{$data['div_fc']}" id="fc_{$data['id']}">
	<div class="maintitlecollapse">
  <p class="expand"><a href="javascript:togglecategory({$data['id']}, 0);"><{E_PLUS}></a></p>
  <p><{CAT_IMG}> <a href="{ipb.script_url}showforum={$data['id']}">{$data['name']}</a></p>
	</div>
</div>
<div class="borderwrap" style="display:{$data['div_fo']}" id="fo_{$data['id']}">
	<div class="maintitle">
  <p class="expand"><a href="javascript:togglecategory({$data['id']}, 1);"><{E_MINUS}></a></p>
  <p><{CAT_IMG}> <a href="{ipb.script_url}showforum={$data['id']}">{$data['name']}</a></p>
	</div>
