lil help finding an older post

I did a search for the keyword but it keeps coming up with many, many posts that had nothing to do with it.

Im looking for the post that showed how to make subforums. Not the paid one because I cant shell out 50.00 right now but the one that was kind of generic but it worked. any help is great.

I didn't think there was one. Might be mistaken - but can't recall one.

I am guessing you have looked in https://www.ubbdev.com/forum/modindex.php?Cat=0

If so - then perhps do a forum at a time searching for subforums.

Cheers,

Ian

I found it. took me a while to go through everything but the original post was called hidden forums and here is the code that was posted.

Code

<br /><br />in templates/default/admin/createforum.tmpl<br /><br />***find<br /><tr><td class="paddingtop paddingbottom autorow colored-row" valign="top" align="left"><br /><span class="autorow-title"><br />{$ubbt_lang['IS_ACTIVE']}<br /></span><br /></td><td class="paddingtop paddingbottom autorow colored-row" valign="top" align="left"><br /><input type="checkbox"

Man, I got all the way through the entire thing and the last part says

in languages/english/admin/createboard.php add to bottom

$ubbt_lang['HIDDEN'] = "Should Forum be shown in Main Index?";

well, there is no files called createboard.php in languages/english/admin.

anyone want to take a crack at this and tell me where to add this last lil part. im using threads 6.5.

5 day mini bump

I have tried to add the code several different files with no sucess. I even had to replace one .php file that I totally borked.

I can understand not "wanting" to help because of a paid mod from Anno that can be purchased. The thing is that I dont need a full blown subforum addon.
Just a way to have one that can be accessed and posted in but not shown.
Allthough having the paid version wouldent be bad, Just dont have the funds for anything extra and dont see anything coming in for a while......

Disregard that last direction, since the same language string is already in languages/english/admin/viewboard.php and this is the file which is included in admin/createforum.php.

No matter what I do, I keep getting this error...

Script: /home/bla-bla-bla/admin/docreateforum.php
Line#: 162
SQL Error: Unknown column 'Bo_Hidden' in 'field list'
SQL Error #: 1054
Query: INSERT INTO w3t_Boards (Bo_Keyword,Bo_Title,Bo_Description,Bo_HTML,Bo_Expire,Bo_Markup,Bo_Moderated,Bo_Read_Perm,Bo_Write_Perm,Bo_Reply_Perm,Bo_ThreadAge,Bo_SpecialHeader,Bo_StyleSheet,Bo_Image,Bo_Active,Bo_Cat,Bo_CatName,Bo_Total,Bo_Threads,Bo_Created,Bo_Last,Bo_Posterid,Bo_LastNumber,Bo_Hidden) VALUES ('TEST','TEST','TEST','Off','0','On','no','-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-','-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-','-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-','0','','usedefault','','1','7',' test forum','0','0','1123299874','0','0','0','')

ok, as far as the error above goes, a I supposed to be adding the Bo_Hidden field into sql by using a command in phpmyadmin?
