Merged Multiple forums on one Joomla

Sorry for those links, I tried doing it again and so things got changed a bit.

I followed your steps but the result is not entirely what I had in mind.
> The link "NL" in the main menu is the "Index (cat index)" link that you recommended making, it directs to the "Dutch forum"
> Unfortunately, the structure of the "Dutch forum" is still as it was, a lot of childboards which I would like to see as categories. Also, the kunena forum menu is missing.
> I did know how to link to the main categories on a separate page, but I do not know how to do this in a way so that the dutch category would look like a separate forum.

To be sure;
- The entire forum is this: www.bonsaiempire.nl/joomlasite/forum/index (4 languages)
- The dutch category is this: www.bonsaiempire.nl/joomlasite/forum/index/nederlands
- What I would like: to have the dutch category appear as a standalone forum, so that it would look like the english forum: www.bonsaiempire.com/forum (this is another joomla install)

So difficult to get it right...

You won't be able to get it to look like the English one because you're one category deep already. Your sub-subcategories will show under the title names. If you follow the steps I posted, that will get the categories and links setup up correctly. But that's as far as you can go.

I think I found it:

change Verzorging, Vormen, Kweken and Diversen in a Hoofdcategorie. Now they are forums where you can make posts instead of a Section, this give a different layout:

Thats not possible? But that was what I wanted and I got the feeling that was possible :S

I did link to it as a Index (category index) but the links are not there when clicking on "NL" in the main menu? See www.bonsaiempire.nl/joomlasite/forum/index

Hi John,
But this way its not possible to show the dutch main categories together I guess? So I would have 4 dutch forums in my menu..?

I don't think that would be possible. So...yes 4 forums or 1 forum but with child categories.
