Add second forum?????

[Nicola Smith]

Hi, how do I add a second forum to a wapdesire V2 script plz? I got the usual forum there, but I want to add a secondary forum too, each time I've tried to do summat, it just shows the forum topics in the usual forum, in both of them, I want two forums with different topics in. Can anyone assist plz?

Updates / News / Junk in my trunk

But members cant add only owner/admins ??

[Nicola Smith]

go to your owner or admin tools and click on forum categories give new position for it if you have example 1st forum name as sports then for new forum example name as entertainment and give position number 2 for it and make it

I dont want it in the same forum, I want a new forum completely. I want to know how to add a new forum so i can put the link to it above the current forum link on the main page...

[pretend]

is this what you need?

inbox
chatrooms
buddies
forum
new forum

you want some thing called new forum as i mentioned in example?

[Nicola Smith]

well yea, but renamed m8. thats exactly what i want

you will have to first analyze index.php the forum part as it is as

index.php?action=formmenu

download this first

Download Notepad++ 5.7 - Download - FileHippo.com
install it
after copy the index.php to the installed ++ notepad and search tab click on find and find for
formmenu
see its database structure and make a new one as it with a different name.

erm... I'm a newbie to this hosting stuff lol, where do i upload it to install it?

[pretend]

after doing that make some thing new as index.php?action=forummenu2 and edit it with new database structure since you want

inbox
chatrooms
buddies
forums
new forum

you want new forum to have different topics from the exiting forum right?

its v2 not v1 basically just clone the forum folder and database tables eg forum2 and forumposts2 etc then link it to the main menu
