vertical navigation on left as on Sitepoint

[Dannyboy1]

If I want to make such a vertical navigation on left as on Sitepoint how can I do that? I mean I have tested the mods that I found here, but there are not even close to what you see on SItepoint.

Any ideas?

That's basically just a Left Side Column hack, which you can find here:

Thanks....but I doubt that will make the navigation as on SitePoint beacuse do you see how you can add there subforum etc. I am not sure that you can do that with this mod, as long as I read the description. And that's for 3.6.0
I still use 3.5.4

Any other ideas?

Basically where from the vbulletin source can I grab the forum folder tree including all the subforums and just paste it in some custom column on the left?

Here is what I'm using... It's not perfect yet, but it's pretty close.function buildForumTree($forumid = -1, $depth = 0, $collapseDepth = 1)
{
global $vbulletin;

$forumbits = '';
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache as $forum)
{
$permissions = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

if (
$forum['depth'] != $depth or
$forum['parentid'] != $forumid or (
!($permissions & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers']) and
!$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']
)
) continue;

$forum['childArray'] = explode(',', $forum['childlist']);
$forum['subforums'] = count($forum['childArray']);

$show['collapsesubforums'] = ($depth == $collapseDepth and $forum['subforums'] > 2);

$childForumBits = ($forum['subforums'] > 2 ?
buildForumTree($forum['forumid'], $depth + 1)
: ''
);

eval('$forumbits .= "' . fetch_template('portal_forumsbit') . '";');
}

return $forumbits;
}

$forumbits = buildForumTree();portal_forums<table width="180" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Forum Tree</td>
</tr>
$forumbits
</table>portal_forumsbit<if condition="$depth == 0">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<span class="smallfont">
<if condition="$show['collapsesubforums']">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumtree_$forum[forumid]')">
<img id="collapseimg_forumtree_$forum[forumid]" src="images/buttons/collapse_alt_collapsed.gif" alt="Hide/Show" border="0" />
</a>
<else />
&raquo;
</if>
<strong><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a></strong>
</span>
<if condition="$show['collapsesubforums']"><div id="collapseobj_forumtree_$forum[forumid]" style="display: none"></if>
$childForumBits
<if condition="$show['collapsesubforums']"></div></if>
</td>
</tr>
<else />
<div class="smallfont" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 8px">

Thanks SirAdrian :) I will test your code today and report back.
Can you just be a littile bit more specific where do I have to paste the code provided by you?
Thank you.
