Filter drop-down

[Thedunes]

Can the filter dropdown be edited to default to specific choices being checked or be removed completely in styles or is this a coding change?

Not an option by default as far as I know.

To remove it you could use this in extra.less:

.block-filterBar { display: none; }

Keep in mind it removes some nice functionality:

XenForo suggestions

Please post any suggestion that you'd like to see as part of XenForo here. If you have a suggestion for an official add-on, please use the correct add-on suggestion forum. If you have a suggestion for a third-party add-on, please post it in the add-on's thread.

xenforo.com

Here for example a suggestion forum, you wouldn't see those links (if you this type of node).

Okay, I will just leave it alone, I don't want any issues. I did not see it on the fordtremor.com site that uses the same style so I thought it was an option.

Thanks for the information.

So I think I may have mentioned it in our email exchanges, but that site uses a page node with widgets.

You can easily achieve it using this guide:

Page as portal homepage

With XF2 it's really simple to add a Page as the homepage and populate it with widgets to create a "portal" page. As a few people have asked how to do it I thought I'd post this quick guide. Go to admin.php?nodes/ and click Add a Node Select...

xenforo.com

It will give you the same results.

If you wanted a little help to avoid manually coding the page, you could a plugin like this :

[CinVin] Home (quick 'homepage' for widgets) [Deleted]

CinVin submitted a new resource: CinVin: Home - Instant "Home" page for XenForo widgets CinVin Home is a quick and easy way to have a XenForo "Home" page for widgets. There are no manual edits required, automatically creates a "Home" navigation menu, pre-installs the same XenForo sidebar...

xenforo.com

I haven't tried it, but it appears to be pretty simple and to the point.

I'd personally use the guide though. Set up the page but don't set it as the home until you're ready (on that guide link it reads as "the final step"

The heart of their page is just widgets. Widgets don't contain the filter bar.
