Missing subcategories

DonaldH

Hello

How can I change this page so that instead of showing discussions it shows subcategories instead? I have already nested the subcategories under this category in the "Organize Categories" section of the dashboard.

Many thanks

have you tried these

http://vanillaforums.org/addon/categoryheadings-plugin
http://vanillaforums.org/addon/subcategories-plugin

the first one allows you to lock the parent category, and display categories as headings.

Thank you for those links. Does this mean that the OS version of the Vanilla software does not facilitate nested subcategories without a plugin (except by accessing them through the list of categories under the side panel)? Because I can't see how else a user could access the subcategory. Thanks again for your help.

In the side bar it does.

Nested categories are just an abstract concept. Nothing is really nested, it is relativism and ordering.

In 2.1 (the beta) it works like that. However this is the beta version, I recommend waiting.

these config statements affect categories. also modified in dashboard.

for discussions in a category to be viewable they need to have view permission checked, if using custom category permissions under roles and permissions in dashboard.

you can also play around with these and see the effects. changing TRUE to FALSE and vice-versa.

$Configuration['Vanilla']['Categories']['MaxDisplayDepth'] = '2';
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Categories']['DoHeadings'] = FALSE;
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Categories']['HideModule'] = FALSE;
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Categories']['Use'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Categories']['ShowTabs'] = TRUE;

Sorry, I have been searching for half an hour and I cannot find those config statements anywhere. Whereabouts will I find them?

EDIT: Oops nevermind, found them! For the benefit of anyone else who stumbles upon this thread, I found them at vanilla/conf/config.php

Thanks again to x00 and peregrine for your help.
