Hi,

Just wanted to ask for some insight on this. As on some installations, the forums might become larger and larger. Obviously maintenance and cleaning up is needed to keep things clean but I was thinking whether or not it was possible to create a page that displays a specific category.

So for example on this website, it could have a page called /e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewcategory.php?1 which then displays the "e107 Support" category and its forums.

Is this already possible? If not, is someone interested in this?

Not sure I'm quite understanding this Moc

You have 'parent' forums then individual forums under that parent which from forum.php the header of each forum (catergory) is clickable to list the threads in that catergory?

But yes on large forums it does involve a lot of maintenance

OK let me rephrase this. Taking the e107.org forums as an example, there should be one page with the title: "e107 Support" (parent category) and below it, the subcategories Core Support, Installation/Upgrade support, etc. should show.
Thats all. It shouldn't list any other parent categories or subcategories.

So for example /e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewcategory.php?1 would display the (parent) category name and the forums/categories inside it.
Maybe forum_viewparent.php?1 might be more applicable.

etc.

I'll be doing some coding for this myself. If anyone is interested I'll put it up my Github.
