Hey folks,

I'm trying to do something to organize things and make the subforums display in a user-friendly manner as well.

Here's my URL: http://www.glamrocktalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3

I'm hoping to possibly have a tabbed approach to these subforums and group the band names alphabetically with tabs (A-E, F-J, etc). Where within forumdisplay.php should I edit and add the tabbed approach? Or, is it somewhere else?

I want to add an "If conditional" so that this 'tabbed' approach only happens within this particular forum, so I could use some help with that as well.

Any thoughts?

Thought . o O LOTS of coding!

Peggy, I "think" that all that would be needed is the conditional put in there when someone clicks on the "Glam Rock Bands" forum and then when that happens, it would display the 'tabbed' subforum code rather than the 'regular' subforum listings.

So, the theory is pretty simple....I think. :D

But, as far as how much coding has to go into it....well, I just added the tabbed script to my custom pages (all 56 of them!) and it wasn't too difficult. Mind you, it isn't for the beginners, but it's not very difficult at all for someone with a few months worth of experience messing around with these codes. So, for an expert, I assume this should be pretty simple actually......at least, I hope ;)

Chris may be able to help you with this. I'm lost. But that's not unusual :rolleyes:
