I know but i mean i want them as tabs
like catagories for cryptos in one page, gaming in a different page but people can access them through buttons
check hackforums.net to understand what im looking for
I think you would be able to achieve something like that with the pockets plugin. But you need at least some basic understanding of html and css. You need to know the links to the forum categories. Then the code would look similar to this:
But you either have to do it by yourself or pay someone for it
I can find the pockets plugin
and can you help me to do this
Try yourself, it's really easy. Use "Content" and "Before" for the location of the pocket.
I am not a programer that's why need help
Tell me where you get stuck and I will help you. But if you do not even try, nothing will happen.
Thank you, but im still stuck at the begining, becasuse i dont know if you got my idea what im planning to do.
also i dont know how to start
4. Visit your forums Recent Discussion page and see how it looks
5. Understand what you did and change the code for the pocket to
6. Get all the links you would like to see in tabs and create a line for each of them
I will try it now
thank you

Depending on your theme you should use another class than button
For simple styling questions you should try any search engine. Search for "change background color css" and you will find an awful lot of results. See the below as a start:
<style> .MyCategoryTabs .Button { background-color: #00ff00; } </style> <div class="MyCategoryTabs"> <a href="/forum1" class="Button">Forum 1</a> </div>thank you,
also how can i add catagories and forum in each tab?
Let's say you want to have
Main Category 1
- Sub Category 1A
- Sub Category 1B
Main Category 2
- Sub Category 2A
- Sub Category 2B
Then there should be 2 tabs: Main Cat. 1 and Main Cat. 2
Go to the dashboard and create that category structure. Edit Main Cat. 1 and search for the "Category Url" (e.g. example.com/categories/main-category-1)
Then simply use this link in the code above.
Does that answer your question?
Did not work! when i try to add forums in my tabs how can i direct the catagory or forum to the tab
If you show what you have added to the pocket and which page you would like to show that links to, I might be able to help.
Just as an example: look at the structure here in this forum. On the right you see that all categories have some parent category. If you were able to edit e.g. "Community Hub" category in the dashboard, you would see that the link is https://open.vanillaforums.com/categories/community
Therefore, if I would like to transform that into tabs, I would put that in a pocket:
www.The1forum.com
I want to to make a category lets say The1forum and under it help desk and market place and under market place I want to add forums but I want to separate the1forum (forum) from the crypto forum which has subforums under it
@R_J and @Kaspar, you are both saints. I have no use for this, but I like to lurk the forums, and I've seen your contributions. So, on behalf of the OP, thank you!
