Displaying 3rd Level of Forum on Home Page with VBulletin
Last evening we were doing some customization of vBulletin. It is widely used php based forum system, It is widely accepted by various users as well. vBulletin has a very detailed admin functionalities one can handle all basic activities by the admin itself with its inbuilt editors & file creator. Our client had a simple need of having display the forums of thrid level on home page, by default this is allowed to two levels only –Parent ( by default this is there ) We carried out following two steps to handle this 1) Create a dublicate template of “forumhome_forumbit_level2_post” by following name You have do this here AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > [add new template options] 2) vBulletin Options > Forum Listings Display Options Set the following stuff to value “2″ each Depth of Forums – Forum Home A very simple but yet very interesting feature that can make difference in usage of the site. It makes a usability difference to the users, a simple update like this a click for the users is reduced
