[MentaL]

Was this not released earlier?

[Aaron RV]

[Snake]

[Dpcows]

You have tested, if it works on vb 3.5 ?

Might just work...
Let me know your experiences..

Vb 3.5 ?:rolleyes:

[apdcanari]

Have fun with it...

[Aaron RV]

it is not possible to disable the list of the invisible forums?

[orphan]

Installed and works like a charm

A suggestion for improvment:

To use the "Status bar" for something better then the forum path
Like replace it with Forum description :bunny:

[y2krazy]

I changed all instances of:

ORDER BY displayorder DESC

To:

ORDER BY displayorder ASC

This made the forums appear in the same fashion that they do in FORUMHOME.

Also, I can see lots of room for improvement in the layout department for this mod. Maybe make it similar in looks to the MEMBERINFO - with the tables, fieldsets, etc.? Just a suggestion. ;)

[Dpcows]

This would show them reversed...

Descending -> would go from 0 to N
Ascending -> would go from N to 0

This would show them reversed...

Descending -> would go from 0 to N
Ascending -> would go from N to 0

ASC is 1,2,3,4,5,...
DESC is ...,5,4,3,2,1
assuming INT field :)

[Dpcows]

Never old enough to learn.

Thanks

I installed this addon but I can't find directory link anywhere.
Where are forums listed?

I turned on "Include this in the directory" for some categories but it didn't change anything.

[Dpcows]

Then you would find the directory at this location:

www.yourforum.com/directory.php

This would have been a perfect addition for vbadvanced. Any chances for such a module?

[Lionel]

[Cocko]

nice job.
would you share this cmps module - maybe /w only one column ?

[hotwheels]

Wow, this is really neat......

[Mastar]

Is there anyway to include subforums this will l be very useful...

[tycity]

I think it would be a lot better if it was part of the Quick Links drop down. I guess we have to hardcode the link into the template?

[Fungsten]

Installed. Very interesting.

[Fungsten]

Same here! But I can go with however many columns.
