Where is the forum at?

Hi guys!

i have a forum with many categories/forums så its just too long, i wan it to show only the categories instead of categories and forums in them. One way of doing that is by linking to forum like this:

phpBB/index.php?c=333

instead of:

phpBB/index.php

the problem is: form wich file does phpNuke link to the phpBB forum module?

it seems not to be the file in block:
blocks/blocks-Forums.php

if not that file, wich one is it then?

This should work for you. Edit blocks/block-Modules.php. Find this section
/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */
Then find this code

Code:

if ($m_title != $main_module) {
 if ((is_admin($admin) AND $view == 2) OR $view != 2) {
 $content .= "<big>·</big> <a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a> \n";
 }
}

Modify it to read

Code:

if ($m_title != $main_module) {
 if ((is_admin($admin) AND $view == 2) OR $view != 2) {
 $cat = '';
 if ($m_title2=='Forums') $cat = '&c=333';
 $content .= "<big>·</big> <a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title$cat\">$m_title2</a> \n";
 }
}

Note that $m_title2=='Forums' assumes your title is Forums. If not, change it for your verbiage. There are also 2 other sections that you might want to change in a similar fashion. They are the invisible and admin links. Then, in your theme you may have a header link to Forums. You will need to make a similar change there too.
