What I meant was that one would need to be made. Vanilla aims to be ... well... vanilla. Plugins are where you get the customized functionality.
If you know a bit of php, you can make it yourself or offer to pay someone on the forum here for their services.

BTW, you will need a plugin for this.

i already customized my copy of vanilla alot, but i am not really a fan of php, i am a ruby developer...well i can try tho, thanks for the help.
technically i just seem to need to find the part that shows the child cathegories in the main view, copy it to the cathegories view and make it functional i guess. but i thought there was something existing for that already
did you make any progress with this? i am interested in getting this done too, but i am clueless
anyone have an idea how to do this?
no not yet, i managed to put category descriptions into the categories, but i dont know how to do the rest yet - i am working on it
cool - i found this recently, maybe it helps
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/15001/proposed-cascading-categories-first-draft-code-feadback-requested
it is exactly what we are looking for, working fine in a side branch of vanilla.
i tried to implement it into the 2.0.18.1 but without success
i tried again and it works, turns out i made a little mistake when i did it the first time
applications/vanilla/controllers/class.categoriescontroller.php

applications/vanilla/models/class.categorymodel.php

conf/config-defaults.php
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Categories']['cascadeDiscussions'] = TRUE;
i tried that, and now it shows all posts of a category and its subs inside the category, but not the subforums
you mean if you click on the parent category it shows the discussions of the parent plus the child categories, but if you select the child only it doesn't show it's contents?
if so thats weird because it is totally working for me. and the pastebin code is an exact copy of my files.
are you using vanilla 2.18.0.1? i am
yes i am using that version and i copied the file content like you discribed
i might look up if i edited one of the files and forgot replacing it.
nope, that didnt help
did anyone else try this? it just doesnt seem to work for me.
