Topic: single forum mode?

i've been using punbb for a while now, stripping it down into a more minimal version in terms of features... but one thing that i'm not happy with is that i'm forced to have a number of seperate forums. i'd prefer to just have one forum for everything, and it looks like the job of changing punbb to suit that is going to be a bit over my head... sad

i don't suppose there's someway you could work this in as an option for punbb?

Re: single forum mode?

I'm confused. There is nothing forcing you to create more than one forum. Could you elaborate a little.

Re: single forum mode?

well yeah you can easily just have one forum, but at the moment that means the index.php page will just comprise of one link to that forum, which is basically a pointless page [and an extra click every time you want to read the forum].

ideally, i'd like the index page to become the viewforum page of that one forum, unless i have more... if you get me.

but it's just occurred to me that i could change the index.php page so that it just forwards straight to the viewforum page that i want it to... i'll try that out.

d'you get what i mean, though?

Re: single forum mode?

maybe replace the index.php file and do a redirect...

either that, or copy viewforum.php to index.php and hack it around a bit so that the forum id is always set to the same one.

Re: single forum mode?

aye those two solutions were exactly what i plan on doing, when i finally get round to it smile

Re: single forum mode?

yep tweaking the viewforum.php and using it as index.php proved simple enough. cheers smile
