| Hi, I just downloaded the latest version last night and was able to set it up fine on our web server. I think I missed something because I could not figure out how to add Categories from the Admin page. I add my groups in Group Categories Configuration but I don't see it in the Category/Forum Order Configuration. Before I start messing directly with the database I wanted to ask because I know I'm just missing something. Right now all I have is the Testing Forums categories. Thanks |

Categories are added from default.asp. If you're logged in as admin, you should see a  icon in the top right corner of the main table.

Hi All
First post.
I know the rules so I read all the FAQ's and the readme.htm, did a search for this topic, and promise not to double post. Am an ASP coder so am looking forward to playing with MOD's later but am just now getting my forum rolling. Video Friends
What's not clear to me is 1. Which and how many database tables need to be copied and renamed to create an additional forum? 2. Do they reside in the same dB container? 3. When I create a new category, I get "No Forum(s) Found" when what I am trying to do is have multiple categories with topics related to those categories underneath, much the same as this forum. All help is gladly received and much appreciated.
Have already cruised much of the topics and posts. Incredible talent and seemingly great folks here. Thanks for letting me hang out.
If ya want a user - pass let me know. |

If you want the two forums to share the same member list it will get complicated... There would be two tables of each kind for each forum in one db, like FORUM1_TOPICS and FORUM2_TOPICS, with one FORUM_MEMBERS. However, if you want just another forum, copy all the ASP files and the DB and upload them to a new location. Don't forget to edit config.asp to point to the new DB.

Press the folder icon in the forum header bar (the top most bar), and you will be able to create new categories. Click the folder icon in the category bar and you will be able to create new subforums for that category. |

Even if you want to share members between two different forums in the same DB, you need to copy all the tables and rename them, just before running setup.asp for the 2nd forum. Of course, you need to change the strTablePrefix, strMemberTablePrefix and maybe the strFilterTablePrefix (if you want two different table filters) to, say, FORUM_2
After setup.asp is complete, you can delete the FORUM2_MEMBERS table and change the strMemberTablePrefix back to FORUM_ but only if you plan to share the members between the two forums.
If you want two completely different forums, use two databases. |

Okay Jorrit787 & ruirib
Was able to get it looking somewhat like I desire. Thanks for your help.
I am thinking that my end goal however is to have sub-forums and as I am searching for said topic, am not seeing much yet that gives me hope. Creating categories is one thing but am still trying to figure out how to make them show up. Any help on this would also be appreciated.

- Go to Admin Options
- Feature Configuration
Under the General Features category, make sure that you have Group Categories turned on. |
