Topic: topics on main page

Hello,

I've been using punbb on my website www.passive.bg and I am very happy with it.
I was wondering is there any way to make topics appear on the main page when opening the forum section on the site?
The only thing I could do is make category and then submit topics to it.

I would be very thankful if someone could help me with this one.

thanks in advance smile

Re: topics on main page

Do you mean you do not need categories/forums and want to see the topics list at the index?

Simple "hack":
1. Have one category.
2. Have one forum.
3. Replace viewforum.php, line 34 with $id = <your only forum id>.
4. Rename index.php to index.old.php. Copy viewforum.php (modified) to index.php.

Not sure that's all, but try to start from this :-)
Categories/forums will remain enabled, but will not be visible to the users.

Re: topics on main page

hello,

I have tryed what you'v suggested, but this hack seems to not work.
It's also not very clear in point 4. what exactly should I do? What I've done is renaming viewforum.php to index.php and putting it on its place. In viewforum.php I've changed the id to 2, which is my forum and it still doesn't work.

You can see the result ot www.passive.bg/forum.php

would appreciate if you could further help me with this one.

thanks smile

Re: topics on main page

1. http://www.passive.bg/forum/viewforum.php?id=2
2. http://www.passive.bg/forum/viewforum.php

1. must be equal to 2.
Hardcode id into viewforum.php.
And AFTER that copy it in place of index.php.

Just follow the steps I've described:

The links above tell me that you did not do this or did this incorrectly. Recheck/try again please.
