Im new to Moodle customization, and first want to thank all of you who contribute to these forums.
Does anyone know a way to have topic numbers start with 0, and read 0,1,2,3,4 etc. down the page? Or, could I overwrite the number with a small icon assigned to each topic? Currently I have simply eliminated them from view editing the layout.css files. But I would also like to have such an edit carry through to the forums list page, resources list page, jump-to menus, etc. (FYI:We want to tie topics to book chapters but need a preliminary topic before each for overviews).
Any ideas. I'm comfortable editing code in files.
Thanks!
Try the attached file.
You'll need to unzip it into the course/format folder.
You also need to edit the file lang/en/moodle.php and add the line
All I have done is converted the existing topic 0 that currently holds News Forum, for example, to be a normal topic.
It's not perfect but its simple.

$string['formattopiczero'] = 'Topics starting at zero';
If you go to the settings for a course, you should now have an extra option in the course format drop down.All I have done is converted the existing topic 0 that currently holds News Forum, for example, to be a normal topic.
