I got the minimizing categories working with the link on the category title.
Slemieux has made a mod for this by removing the link in the title an replacing it with plus/minus.
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
Thanks Dave!!!
I added plus/minus graphics and took out the link on the Category Title simply by changing the lines
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>"><img src="plus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>"><img src="minus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
This should hopefully make it less confusing for new people and leave the topic link open for a future mod of clicking on the Category and having it display just that Category.
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
It would be nice to se the actual code that should be replaced...

If you have the original version then you would be replacing the <font color=red>highlighted</font id=red> lines below.
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
<% If Request.Cookies(HideForumCat) = "Y" then %>
<font color=red><a href="<% =ScriptName & "default.asp?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %></font id=red>
<% Else %>
<font color=red><a href="<% =ScriptName & "default.asp?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %></font id=red>
<% End If %>
</font id=code></pre id=code>
If you have the newer version then you would be replacing the <font color=red>highlighted</font id=red> lines below (with some modification obviously):
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
<% if (InStr(1, ScriptName, "default.asp", 1)) then %>
<font color=red><a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>"></font id=red>
<% else %>
<font color=red><a href="<% =ScriptName & "default.asp?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>"></font id=red>
<% end if %>
<% Else %>
<% if (InStr(1, ScriptName, "default.asp", 1)) then %>
<font color=red><a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %>"></font id=red>
<% else %>
<font color=red><a href="<% =ScriptName & "default.asp?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %>"></font id=red>
<% end if %>
</font id=code></pre id=code>
You are basically just adding:
<font color=red>[img]plus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a></font id=red>
or
<font color=red>[img]minus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a></font id=red>
onto the end of each line.
I did change one thing in the following:
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
on the line with the minus.gif I used <font color=red> "=Y"</font id=red> instead of <font color=red> "=N"</font id=red>

Richard,
I' a bit confused about the different versions here (I'm using Kal Corps latest text-file but I'm not sure which version this is...), and this is the related code I'm currently using in default.asp:
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
' This code will specify whether or not to show the forums under a category
HideForumCat = "HideCat" & rs("Cat_ID")
If Request.Cookies(HideForumCat) = "Y" then %>
<% if (InStr(1, ScriptName, "default.asp", 1)) then %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>">[img]plus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
<% else %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>">[img]plus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
<% end if %>
<% Else %>
<% if (InStr(1, ScriptName, "default.asp", 1)) then %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %>">
<% else %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "default.asp?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %>">
<% end if %>
<% end if %>
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>" color="<% =strCategoryFontColor %>" size"+1"><b><% =ChkString(rs("CAT_NAME"),"display") %></b></font></A></td>
and then this code related to the minus-icon:
[quote]
' This code will specify whether or not to show the forums under a category
HideForumCat = "HideCat" & rs("Cat_ID")
If Request.Cookies(HideForumCat) = "Y" then %>
<% if (InStr(1, ScriptName, "default.asp", 1)) then %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>">[img]minus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
<% else %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>">[img]minus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
<% end if %>
<% Else %>
<% if (InStr(1, ScriptName, "default.asp", 1)) then %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %>">
<% else %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "default.asp?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %>">
<% end if %>
<% end if %>
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>" color="<% =strCategoryFontColor %>" size"+1"><b><% =ChkString(rs("CAT_NAME"),"display") %></b></font></A></td>
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>
But something is wrong here, as my category names are still the link (and no icons are showing at default). Have'nt had the time to go into the details of this code (and I'm in desperate need of some sleep <img src=icon_smile_sleepy.gif border=0 align=middle>, so it would be nice if you could pinpoint what I should delete in the code.

I just downloaded Kal Corp's file and he added the code in two different places (there were 2 places that had the <font color=red>=ChkString(rs("CAT_NAME"),"display")</font id=red>, but I only replace the second instance of it (about line 142) like dave indicated (which is the section just above where the <font color=red>ChkDisplayHeader = false</font id=red>(about line 152) is.

If your using the plus/minus icons, dont forget to remove the </a> tag in
<b><% =ChkString(rs("CAT_NAME"),"display") %></b></font></A>

I actually still had that extra <font color=red></A></font id=red> in there and it was working fine.
I just took it out and it had no effect at all. weird...

I've added the hide-stuff for the statistic addon too:
http://forum.leadernet.it/hack/minicat_stat.zip
It'll replace default.asp and statistic.asp file (and it'll add plus.gif and minus.gif 10x to slemmy)

How would you go about setting it up so that by default they are already minimized?

Nice mod...
I would like to implement the version that has the plus and minus... I gather Dave's version just uses the Title as the switch... There is code posted in this thread that completely replaced the Default.asp and statistics.asp and gives the plus/minus feature.
As I have a default.asp that is already modified, is there any chance of someone posting the code changes (text file with instructions) here for the plus/minus version of the mod?
Your help is appreciated...
Thanks,
infinity

Just replace what you have now with this:
<font size=1><pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><% ' This code will specify whether or not to show the forums under a category
HideForumCat = "HideCat" & rs("Cat_ID")
If Request.Cookies(HideForumCat) = "Y" then %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=N" %>">[img]plus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
<% Else %>
<a href="<% =ScriptName & "?" %><% =HideForumCat & "=Y" %>">[img]minus.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0"></a>
<% End If %>
<font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" <font color=red>size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"</font id=red> color="<% =strCategoryFontColor %>" <font color=red>size"+1"</font id=red>><b><% =ChkString(rs("CAT_NAME"),"display") %></b></font></td></font id=code></pre id=code></font id=size1>

Thanks. That did it.
I have a question though...
Where is the font size being set for the Catagory name, once this mod is applied?
I have my own custom font sizes (which I set in the admin page)... and had one of these applied to the Cat name... but after apply the mod the cat name always comes up with the DefaultFontSize.
I have changed all font size tags in the mod code... and it made no differance. Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Infinity
