Display Sub-Boards for Specific Category Only

[Molly Jepson]

Is there a way to code the boards list so that only one specific category displays its list of sub-boards on the main page?

Molly Jepson ,

1. Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates. Make sure the correct theme is selected under 'current theme'.

2. Then go to Board > Board List tab.

3. Find this section of code:
{if $[board.sub_board]}
<p class="sub-boards">
Sub-board{if $[board.sub_board] != 1}s{/if}:
{foreach $[board.sub_board]}<a href="$[board.sub_board.href]">$[board.sub_board.name]</a>$[board.sub_board.comma] {/foreach}
</p>
{/if}

4. On a new line right above that first line add this:
{if $[board.category_id] == 1}Change the 1 to the number of the category you wish to have the sub-board list displayed.

5. The after the last {/if} from the code in step 3 add this on a new line:
{/if}


6. The finished results should look like:
{if $[board.category_id] == 1}
{if $[board.sub_board]}
<p class="sub-boards">
Sub-board{if $[board.sub_board] != 1}s{/if}:
{foreach $[board.sub_board]}<a href="$[board.sub_board.href]">$[board.sub_board.name]</a>$[board.sub_board.comma] {/foreach}
</p>
{/if}
{/if}

Tip:  An easy way to find the category ID is go to Structure > Headers & Footers. When you hover over the category, in the lower left corner of the window is the URL to the category. That last number is the ID.  (Same for boards.)

Thank you very much, Scott! I had the right idea with an {if} statement but could not figure out how to identify the category. Thanks again!
