Hide Categories

[Former Member]

I want to do something similar to this:


So is it possible to hide the categories completely with access to them from buttons via side bar?

While I'm at it, I guess I would also need to hide the Welcome Table

[Shorty]

Your first one I can't help you with, sorry. But the welcome table one. Do you just want like the banner completely removed? Or just hidden and can be shown with the click of a button?

[Former Member]

The welcome table, nav bar, that whole section removed. I will use buttons in a side menu to navigate

[Shorty]

okay. Go to Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates and then click the Forum Wrapper template. Find the code below..


<header>
<div id="banner-container" role="banner">
<h1 id="banner">
<a id="logo" href="/">$[forum.title]</a>
</h1>
</div>
<a id="navigation-skip" href="#content" accesskey="s" class="aria-hidden">Skip Navigation</a>
<div id="navigation-menu" class="ui-helper-clearfix">
<ul role="navigation">
{foreach $[navigation.menu]}
<li>
<a{if $[navigation.menu.active]} class="state-active"{/if} href="$[navigation.menu.href]" accesskey="$[navigation.menu.accesskey]">
$[navigation.menu.name]
{if $[navigation.menu.notification.total]}
<div class="tip-holder" onclick="window.location='$[navigation.menu.notification.href]'; return false;">
<div class="tip-number">$[navigation.menu.notification.total]</div>
<span class="tip"></span>
</div>
{/if}
</a>
</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>
<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest.  Please $[login_link] or $[register_link].
{else}
<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span>  $[logout_link]
{/if}
</p>
</div>
</header>


And remove it.

Thank you very much

[Shorty]

Did you want the Navigation bar removed too? Wasn't sure, so I didn't include that in the code to remove. And if you don't do you want space between the top of the forum and that navigation menu?

[Former Member]

I do want the nav bar removed

[Shorty]

In that same template from before, find this


$[participated_threads_link]

<div id="navigation-tree">
$[navigation.tree]
</div>


And remove it.

[Former Member]

Thanks again. Can't wait to get home from work now

[Shorty]

No problem. Sorry I couldn't help with the Categories thing.

[Former Member]

No problem. I'm not worried. It'll happen when it happens

[Former Member]

Anyone? Help with the categories?

[Former Member]

So?
