• Sub-categories

    By Howard Rosenfeld 2 decades ago

    I'm trying to add sub-categories into my forum but not sure how to do it.



    Is this possible?

      In the category form, you can put 2 different (unrelated) levels of subcategory.



      BUT this does not reflect in the user interface of the forum besides the fact that, when composing a main topic, user can fill subcategory and you see them while reading posts. (for exemple, you dont see forum subcategories in the main index page).



      Basically it's more there to help user give precise informations about their post.

        My guess is you are trying to do the same thing that I was working toward. In the main forum, I wanted to display a product name and then have several sub categories underneath. So here is what I did.



        Category Separator: Product A

        Category: General Discussion - Product A

        Category: Report a Bug - Product A

        Category: Request a Feature - Product A



        Category Separator: Product B

        Category: General Discussion - Product B

        Category: Report a Bug - Product B

        Category: Request a Feature - Product B



        I found that if I didn't distinquish each Category to be different (with the Product xx after it), all posts showed up in one forum.



        Hope that helps.
