Topic: How do I add sections inside a forum?

I have a section called "traveling Section" and I want to add sections inside it for every state and country. How can I do this?

so it'll say

Main category
Forum
     Open Forum
     Traveling Section
            - # Alabama forum
            - # Alaska forum
            - # Arizona forum
            - # Arkansas forum
            - # California forum

etc.

How can I do that?
I have PunBB 1.2.17

thanks

It is reccomended to upgrade to the latest release.

You would need to install the sub forums modification avaliable over at pun res.

Re: How do I add sections inside a forum?

Hi thanks for responding,
I dont want to upgrade because it's too technical. Anytime I try to add something to punbb it involves a lot of code and its hard for me.

do you know where the sub forums mod is?
I searched and it went here: http://www.punres.org/browse.php?keywor … projects=1
and that took me to here:
http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=209
and it says it doesnt exist
thanks

Re: How do I add sections inside a forum?

Get yourself out to the later pages of the SubForum topic, say near http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=594&p=5.
You want version 1.9.3 (http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20714#p20714
I recommend reading the last 3 pages of the topic - shouldn't take you long and will get you 'on the page'.
And yeah, it has many edits, but its 'the one' you want if you wish to have subforums in your exisiting 1.2.x pun.
Good luck!

When 1.2 was developed, that was the only method that was ideal when installing modification..

However 1.3 uses a one click install and un-install, so you can easily install mods and can upgrade your forum without having to go though a hard and time consuming process.

Assuming, of course, the mod(s) you need is already built and has the features you need/want, or you are building it ;^)

Re: How do I add sections inside a forum?

I cant find 1.9.3 anywhere. I just found 1 person saying dont use it because its a high load on the server.

Ill give someone $20 via PayPal to give me the mod I need for my version.
I have such a headache from reading that thread theres no way Ill do it myself.
PM me if someone wants the money. thanks

Re: How do I add sections inside a forum?

I edited post #5 above so anyone can get to the version 1.9.2 or 1.9.3 download links.
Edit: oh yeah, install 1.9.2 unless you need/want the extra feature listed in 1.9.3 ;^)

Regarding the load on the server, I don't think this is true at all, I know what the difference is between v..2 and ..3, and there would be no reason for added load (that I can determine anyway).  I do not know why the poster had this problem or thinks this - doesn't make sense (no offense to the poster, I just think you have a separate problem).

Good luck finding the help you need, marc ;^)

Find user Garciat on here.
Ask him to handle your upgrade to version 1.3
Make him an offer perhaps? Tell him what you need smile
