Seperate Forum Categories

[RS_Jelle]

Separate Forum Categories

Version: 1.0.1
Author: RS_Jelle
Description: This mod separates each forum category on the forum home without any template edits. The category header is added to the top of each separated category. This will be done for ALL the styles on your forum. Have a look at the attached screenshot and everything will become clear if you don't get the point :)
Why? I created this mod because someone requested (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123503) it.
Limitations:
It's possible that this mod won't work properly on highly customized styles.
The 'Last Post' column can be smaller than normal if the thread titles of the category forums are all small (you can only fix this with a template edit). Have a look at the attached screenshot to see this limitation.

First post reserved :)

A bit more about the limitations:

The category header bar is necessary, otherwise your layout will be screwed. It can't be done without it.
I will never fix these limitations. The mod is about doing it without any template edits and the only way to get around the limitations are template edits.

[Makaveli105]

Nice release, I'd install this if the Forum, Last Post, Threads, and Posts bar was placed under the category bar.

That's also a limitation, then you have to do a template edit:

First install the product
Open forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and remove the following code:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
Open forumhome_seperate_forumcats and add the following code at the end of the template:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

2 hours after i did the template edits too :D

Owell, nice job with the plugin version ;)

[Milad]

I did something similar but removed it because of the same limitation.

We can do this also by adding a white <tr><td></td></tr> but the border will style be shown.

[BoYagoob]

We can do this also by adding a white <tr><td></td></tr> but the border will style be shown.
Indeed, that's the first thing I tested, but that was very ugly with that border and background color -like you said-.

[jellybaby]

Can anyone help me solve this problem please - I have two description bars!

[WeArab]

You rock man!

Installed!

Thank you!! :)

[sudn3sc3d]

thanks alot mate installed.

Thank you very much Jelle for this great hack!
Particularly beautifully: It is valid XHTML! ;)

Limitations:
The 'Last Post' column can be smaller than normal if the thread titles of the category forums are all small (you can only fix this with a template edit).

Find in:
- FORUMDISPLAY
- FORUMHOME
- forumhome_seperate_forumcats


<tr align="center">
<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>



And replace it with (for example):


<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="35%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>


Notice how not all of the table cells (<td> tags) have width attributes. You need to give each cell a width attribute, and the total widths need to equal 100% of the horrizontal space. Percentages work well for this.

Excuse for my english :).
But if you change this templates, the first category (Main Category by installation default) didn't show. Is correct?

[Snake]

Very nice. Thank you! :)

[tobybird]

I experienced this as well.

eta: To expand... the category for the first forum disappeared and the category/forum header did not switch as expected for the remaining forums.

Any ideas?

You can find template edit mods for this here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123530) and here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=127875) ;)

Edit: too late, lol :p

@Minha: that's a limitation, you can't fix that with a product. Then you have to do template edits (see the other two mods above).

[tpearl5]

humm, I'm getting a strange error:

n/m, I'm a retard. Wrong vB version...

[Johnnnie]

Thx. Jelle works perfekt.

Also i have make the changes from lillylissy, but the columns are not the same in the forums always is lastpost the problem.

Do i missed something?


as you can see http://www.gc-talk.nl

[RS_Jelle]

That's a limitation of doing it with a product file (it's stated clear in the first post), otherwise you need to do some template edits. There are also two template edits mods if you want to fix this, you can find them here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123530) and here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=127875) ;)

[Johnnnie]

Jelle, correct i know that this is a limitation but as i wrote i did make also the changes in the templates as lillylissy wrote on post nr.12.

I hoped that this will fixed the lastpost collumn, perhaps that lillylissy give a reply?

Normally, it should work fine on vB 3.6.2. I've got a clean vB 3.6.2 install and it imports the product without any problems :)

What's the error it gives on your site?

[Stavs16]

this did not change anything.... heres a look at my website after implementing it www.xcaliburforums.com/index.php

Which other mods (using plugins) are you using on your forum? I think one of them are causing the incompatibility.

Or have you modified some of the forumhome templates? Try creating a new style to force all the default templates etc. :)

A small update to make it myself more easier: I moved the version check to the vBulletin.org version check system instead of a file on my own site :)

These fixes seems to post the entire hack again as template mods.

Short of uninstalling this addon and using one of the other hacks, what mods do we need to make (with this addon installed) to make all of the columns match up? (The sizes are all off on the "last post" column).

[Smoothie]

Can someone clarify the needed template edits to perform to make the columns (forums/last post/threads/posts) line up properly? After reading through all 4 pages of this it seems there is some confusion as to what is needed.

[sunnycher]

I'd like to know also Smoothie! I installed it and my columns were all out of wack so I uninstalled it.

[Raw Sugar]

I believe the template that needs editing is 'forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost'... I've had to fix it quite a few times. Just change the order. Anything that needs to be edited would be under the 'forumhome' templates.

So check those. :)

[LordDB]

RS_Jelle, nice hack! ;)

How do you take out the 'Forum - Last Post - Threads - Posts' bar, as I feel this would look better if it was removed so as to only display the Forum Name?

Your advice would be appreciated on this!

Br.

[Talisman]

Can't be sure from what's posted here. Is this working or not?

[sunnycher]

I like it, I just don't like how it doesn't align all the forums so I uninstalled it.

[HellRazor]

It works but causes some alignment problems with some of the cells on the forum home. There is a way to fix it by editing templates, but no one has yet posted exactly how to do that.

[zeropaid]

Here is what you want to do if you are having problems with misaligned columns.

Edit these 2 templates

- FORUMHOME
- forumhome_seperate_forumcats


Replace forumhome_seperate_forumcats with the following code:


</table>
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="70%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="15%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tbody>


In FORUMHOME

Look for this

<!-- main -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

and put this after

<tbody>
<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="70%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="15%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tbody>


If you see a double row of the table headers, look for a set of code like the above and delete it. It should be right after the code you just added above.

Hi, did you apply the above fix to your forums? Because if you did, it ain't working. The columns are not aligned properly. I read that even with the above fix it may or may not align the columns. Part of the problem is the length of the last post title. It may be need to be shortened in the admin cp.

[zeropaid]

I see the problem, I will work on a fix and post here asap.

[danhaga]

is it possible to use html in the newly created sepparation? For example, is there a way i could insert a banner in the new space?

[HellRazor]

I see the problem, I will work on a fix and post here asap.

Thanks for doing this! Looking forward to your fix.

[Smoothie]

I tried messing around with the templates to get this to line up correctly. I edited forumhome and the template that gets installed with this mod, I think it was called forumhome_separate_categories. I got them to align perfectly. Problem was that when the browser window was large, the columns aligned, but when you resized the browser window smaller, the columns became unaligned.

the percentages were like this, for both templates;

<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="55%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="25%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>

[Smoothie]

thanks, installedYour columns are not correctly aligned either. :p

[Smoothie]

Installed and columns aligned. :)

[brookelyn]

it would be great if this thread was updated to include the correct template changes as an option in the orginal post to achieve the forums/threads/posts below the category and have the columns aligned properly. there are so many different options and instructions contained in this thread it is confusing to know which template edits to follow.

[Smoothie]

I guess some of it depends on the style you use. Not all the code is located in the same place. And trying to do this with a product doesn't work perfectly, not without template edits. One of the biggest issues is the last post column. Depending on the length of the last post, that can throw it all out of whack. You can control the length of the last post info in the admin cp. But you won't need to do that if you set a fixed width for that column.

What I did was remove the threads and posts columns and added a fixed width to the last post column. But, most won't want to remove those 2 columns.

[ArgylePhoto]

I have this installed and have got the spacing sorted, I've also managed to ge the forum title above the 'forum - last post - etc' row, and here's where the problem comes in: my first category title isn't showing correctely, it's showing whatever the title of the bottom forum is.

IE atm the title of my first category should be 'Welcome' but it's showing up as 'Feedback'. Feedback is the forum at the very bottom of the page in the final category, whatever I change the bottom forum to is what is displayed as the title of the first category.

Needless to say I'm confused! Can anyone help?

It happened after I altered the FORUMHOME template, if it helps this is what it looks like now...

[Smoothie]

How do we get "Forum" "Last Post" "Threads" "Posts" under category name on forumhome?

[Dream]

great little mod thanks

[Fungsten]

Installed.

Question: Will anything be added soon that the MOD will only apply to certain styles and not all?

[Smoothie]

If you use this mod, your forum categories will not collapse properly.

[girlspeedo]

I have this installed and have got the spacing sorted, I've also managed to ge the forum title above the 'forum - last post - etc' row, and here's where the problem comes in: my first category title isn't showing correctely, it's showing whatever the title of the bottom forum is.

IE atm the title of my first category should be 'Welcome' but it's showing up as 'Feedback'. Feedback is the forum at the very bottom of the page in the final category, whatever I change the bottom forum to is what is displayed as the title of the first category.

Needless to say I'm confused! Can anyone help?

It happened after I altered the FORUMHOME template, if it helps this is what it looks like now...

I have the same problem. Anyone with solutions?

Thanks!

Girlspeedo

[talenak]

Is there a way to install this mod for ONE style and not the other?

This mod wrecks the chestnut style which already puts a space between each category.

And then the member voted in style doesn't put a space. I really want a space, but I don't want to destroy chestnut.

ETA: Nevermind. Found a mod for a template edit. Uninstalled. Nice hack though if not for being unable to restrict it to specific styles.

[ShackMaster]

OOPS... wrong thread... sorry.

[talenak]

Yay, I'm using this one now since chestnut is no longer installed on my forum. It works great now that it's the only spacer :)

[dope15gd]

Installed this today. Working perfectly.

thanks

[therogueforums]

Very nice hack! It's very subtle, but makes a nice change in the appearance. Again, nice work!

[FarukErsin]

Thanks...

[713JunctionP]

awesome hack! :up:

[NoDRaC]

i want to apply only one theme how can i do it?

http://upload.bz/files/mke1yzgtzyz2dfmmyom3.jpg

[Hornstar]

I will install this when it can be applied to certain styles only
:/ otherwise it will destroy the look of some of my styles.

[yoyoyoyo]

it's nice to have this as a plugin instead of all of those pesky template edits - thanks!

[Cooter]

This is really nice!

[applyimage]

Very nice!
Just a quick related question. If you take a look at my forum home I have the hack that displays the welcome messages and this mod istn't applying a nice little space underneath that. How would I do that? www.applyimage.co.uk/forum help really appreciated.

[m2006]

istall working good thank you very much

[m2006]

I must move come to beside below

[dvbusuario]

Thanks

[racechick20]

Great hack, too late for me though. Lol I did it the template edit way following these instructions (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=224461) over at vBulletin.com. And to those interested - yes you can insert banners or images between the forums. We have done this on Signoholics (even learned how to make them stretch :)) by following these instructions (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169892), again over at vBulletin.com.

[xcingix]

Is there an update for 3.7.0.
They tell me that one of the plugins on my forum is preventing "Rebuild Custom Avatars" from working and this is one of the only 3 mods I have installed.

[karabaja3]

Hi!
Is there possibility to separate only first category from the rest?

[Alfa1]

This works like a charm on vb 3.7. Many thanks RS_Jelle!

[jambo_1969]

Awesome !

[corvette557@eim]

Amazing man nice one

[ohsuria]

I just installed this product and have problem with sub categories.
please refer to the image.
Bali Hotels and Puncak Hotels should be the child from Hotels Lounge category.
but it displayed splitted to 2 categories.

is there way to solve this problem?

Kindly advise.

Thank you.
Suria OH.

[MV Blackie]

goe bezig dude ;)

[piloto-43]

@everyone: I'm planning a fix for the alignment problem, but it will require template edits ofcourse.

... any solution.. pls

[mertron]

Can i display one or multiple forum banners per seperate forum. :(

[grubby2day]

I've installed this but nothing changes at all. What could I be doing wrong? My version is 3.6.8 p2. Thanks!!

[Glynn58]

just installed on same version & its perfect :up:

[Leo Brazil]

I've just installed it and worked great.

But I have some sob-forums working as categories inside a forum and the mod is separating all those sub-forums as individual ones. I know this is possible but I just can't figure out how to keep them together just like original.

Can someone give me a tip for ?

Tks.

[grubby2day]

figured out the problem...i was not using the "act as forum=no" option in the forum manager. Once I did that the effects were implemented immediately ...but I'm not sure if I am crazy about the "forum" heading over each category. plan to play around with it a little more.

[NeuroLancer]

I was about to edit my template for 3.7 beta 6, then I thought I will install this and see what happens. Works great :D

[surfjunkey]

this is a great hack and thanks for it, it works flawlessly on my 3.6.8 board. but i do have a modification question for you, at the top of each new seperated forum, where it says forum - the "heading", how can i change this word 'forum' for something else?

Anybody? its driving me nuts trying to do it lol

[yinyang]

I was about to edit my template for 3.7 beta 6, then I thought I will install this and see what happens. Works great :D

Confirmed!! Working great on vb3.7 here also!

[doozy]

I am having this problem as well. For now I just hard coded a generic title, but it would be nice if it actually called the first forum title correctly.

hi KURTZ ,

this is not ok.

I have v 3.7.0

then in 3.7.1 search for

however im still getting the column mis-alignment problem.

[Raptor]

i got things working - not by using this plugin tho.

Anyway my problem is that the template forumhome_seperate_forumcats will not delete - it was added to the master style with no uninstall code !!

So how to remove - thanks

[RS_Jelle]

That's a limitation that can't be solved without template edits. And this mod is about separating them without those edits ...

Just remove the product and it will be auto-deleted :)

[mauriceo]

Great plugin! To make the functionality even better on my forum i would like to switch the 'topic-threads-replies balk' with the 'catagory balk' just like as on this forum. Mayby if it is possible it is a nice idea to add to the plugin.

[MDK-Indy]

Salü,

how i can disable this hack for a specific Style?

If a Style have Seperate Forum Categories integrated the Hack kill the Style layout.

greeting Indy

[omsa]

Does this work with 3.7.3?

[ChaosBurnt]

Does this work with 3.7.3?

Yup, if you include KURTZ' template edit a few posts up it works perfectly in 3.7.3 PL1

subforum (forumdisplay) problem

[vithorius]

Been looking for this Mod for some time...!

Ok, now I see why I did not found it before...! The NAME has got an orthographic ERROR! :confused: :mad:

:eek: It should be "Separate Forum Categories" and NOT "Seperate Forum Categories"... :D


Ok... Installed! :rolleyes: :up:

[sdavis2702]

Hey everyone if you're having issues with the with of the columns from one block to the next, just adjust those percentages in the FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, forumhome_seperate_forumcats templates that KURTZ mentioned towards the top of this page. I changed my "Last_Post", "Posts", and "Threads" percentages a bit. It took a few minutes because it's all trial and error but hey... you own a website.

[killa seven]

haha, didn't work for me man =[

[Collectors]

The 'Last Post' column can be smaller than normal if the thread titles of the category forums are all small (you can only fix this with a template edit). Have a look at the attached screenshot to see this limitation.

I have this problem, how can I fix this?

In these templates:


- FORUMDISPLAY
- FORUMHOME
- forumhome_seperate_forumcats


search:

<tr align="center">

<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">

<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">

After installing this mod and editing the templates I still have this problem. It's a standard style.

[Collectors]

Solved. I deleted my Thread Prefixes for that subforum, now the columns are all the same.

[sdavis2702]

haha, didn't work for me man =[

You sure you adjusted everything correctly?

Try this... after copying the section we're talking about in your FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, and forumhome_seperate_forumcats templates and saving them somewhere else just to be safe, replace them with this...

<thead>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="7%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="45%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="32%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="9%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>
</thead>

If you see absolutely no change, something is wrong.

[killa seven]

Thanks man, i ended up doing it myself though. :)

We are running 3.7 anyhow, but a lot of 3.6 mods work on it, just this one didn't happen to.

[Sean James]

So does this work with the latest version of vbulletin 3.7.4?

[UKBusinessLive]

Works fine with latest version, I'm using 3.7.4. had problems with wonky forums and nothing lining up, Played around with all these template edits, got no where, The answer was staring me right in the face

Goto> vbulletin options> Forum Listings Display Options> scroll down> find> Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters > set to 20 and save...

Now works a treat, thought i'd share it here

take care

:D

[Chrakker]

Thanks very much :)
Works for 3.7.5 from Scratch with this fix :)

Nice work :)
Makred as installed ^__^

I have tried this, but they are still all squashed to the right. The only one that I couldn't do is: forumhome_seperate_forumcats I don't have one of those unser my FORUMHOME or anywhere else that I can see.

Can you help me on this please?


Solved. I deleted my Thread Prefixes for that subforum, now the columns are all the same.

Would you or some else be kind enough as to explain what you mean / have done in Layman's terms please? I am new to this. :)

Many Thanks.

[Welshy2008]

** EDIT **

In fact, I don't have the "Forum, Last Post, Threads or Posts (or the bar in which they reside) at the top of my main forum either. So that would explain why I can't find the "forumhome_seperate_forumcats", Would some be kind enough as to guide me through how I would add this back to my forum Please?

I would be very grateful.

Working on 3.8.1

Thanks :up:

[powersilie]

That's not possible with this mod. This mod is about separating forum categories without template edits and this would require them.


Well, ok, but how did You manage it to change this columns?
On this pic You can see the "Forum, Last Post, Threads or Posts"-bar UNDER the name of the forum.

I think this hack works on all vb versions. Thx for the great job :)

This still seems to work in 3.8.2

But how do I fix these alignments?

[RS_Jelle]

This still seems to work in 3.8.2

But how do I fix these alignments?

That's part of the limitations of doing this with a simple plugin :)
This mod is about doing it without template edits. There are template modifications to do this in a better way.

[Black Tiger]

Can you point me (if necessary via pm) to the right direction? Because I tried several template edits mods on this forum, but either the first forum is not aligning, or otherwise the "last thread text" get's under 20-25 signs, which I don't want.:)

[hauli]

Works wonderfull with vBulletin® Version 3.8.4 (Deutsch)

[Skydiver10]

Hey thanks...I also found the code in all three templates and replaced the code like you said from your post on page 1. This re-aligned all the forums under "Last Post"....Thanks again for a great hack! :up:

[Skydiver10]

Hi there,

Is there a way that this mod can make more space between the categories bigger?

I just want to increase the gap a little bit more between the categories. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or if this is even possible?...thanks!

Open the product XML, find <br /> and replace it with <br /><br /> or even more :)

[Skydiver10]

I searched the XML file (product-seperate-forumcats.xml) and I can't find "<br />" anywhere.

Do you know what line it is on out of the 63 lines?

[Skydiver10]

Never mind....I found it in the "forumhome_seperate_forumcats" template...thanks!

I have tryed "The Categories Separator" , but this is the best one ^^ . Work perfect on 3.8.7 too :) .... there's any suggest that the author of this great mod wont to do for all 3.8.7 users?
