Question Remove menu, breadcrumb and link directly to specified cathegory

Hello!

Kunena is really a fantastic tool! A bit tricky in the beginning thought...

Could anyone take a look at my forum at "medicinhistoria.nu" forum-button?

First, I would like that the forum button linked directly to the cathegory "Medicinhistorisk diskussion". I tried to do it as an external link, but the page disapeared when I removed the old link.

For the second I would like to remove the "kategorier, senaste diskussioner, avancerad sökning"-meny.

And finally I would like to remove the breadcrumb with the arrow from the little house.

Is this possible to do?


Best regards Tomas

You need to do some manual coding in order to change default page and to remove kunena menu.

Menu can be hidden by disabling function call in your template:

fb_layout.php, around line 170 there is something like this:

Just add in the beginning of that function:

To point into your main category (if there will be no other main categories!) you need to change line 307-320 from:

to:

It should work..

For the breadcrumb look at fb_pathway.php file. It lists the path to current forum/action. Calling return in the beginning of the code should remove most of it..

Thank you very much Matias!

With your help I managed to remove the meny "category, advanced..." and the breadcrumbs. Unfortunately, the forum doesn't start inside the category of my choice.

I use a template called "we love kunena". The two lines you gave the advice to change is right next to each other at line 170:

---

function KUNENA_get_menu($cbitemid, $fbConfig, $fbIcons, $my_id, $type, $view = "", $catid = 0, $id = 0, $thread = 0, $is_moderator = false, $numPending = 0)
{
return '';
$func = strtolower(JRequest::getVar('func', ''));
if ($func == '') // Set default start page as per config settings
{
$func = 'showcat';
$catid = 4;
}

---

Still the forum won't start inside category 4. Have I written the forum id in a false way?

Hi 810!

I tried to change the line to:

$catid = '4';

but the forum still starts up in the main forum "medicinhistoriskt forum":

Instead I would like it to start inside the category "medicinhistorisk diskussion" as in this link:
medicinhistoria.nu/index.php/forum/4-med...historisk-diskussion

What can be wrong?

Best regards Tomas
