Forum Directory

[Coroner]

What does this MOD do:
It will show the Forums as a Directory (Sidemap). You can change the Style (listed / unlisted), if listed ordered / unordered, with Icons or not ...
Based on the index.php, so no more queries as the index needed. I removed all Hooks and changed 2 functions. There are 5 new Icons (subforum size).

Installation:
See READ.ME but it's simple.

TMS (Template Modification System):
YES (see READ.ME to modify the Template manually)

History:


v1.1
fixed: Subforum above Mainforums
added: Subforum-Numbers (you can now enabled/disable it in the Options)v1.0
work stableP.S. deutschen Support gibt es auch bei your-vb

[Super Jinni]

it seems good but I have to ask a question which may sound dump:
what is(are) the benefit(s) of this Mod?

The same benefits any site gets from having a site map. One place to see where everything is, without having to navigate your way through them.

Can this be directly linkable via footer link.

If so how.

Havent downloaded yet, so apologies if this is indeed covered.

Ok

how is this different from THIS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=171717) one?

[rapidphim]

where do you see this site map?

It's not the Modification Graveyard? :D

[projectego]

Great mod! :D

* projectego clicks install

[Q-v-n-s-Q]

really nice, thanks

[Super Jinni]

It's not the Modification Graveyard? :D

Yep

I agree with you in this :D

I didn't notice that and I didn't know how it ended in Graveyard

what I mean is is it different form that or not?

it's just like the one used here in vbulletin.org

check THIS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/info.php?do=sitemap) out>

Take a look at the Icons. Why RSS ??????
I'll use the "real" ones (if enabled). So you can see if it's a link, contains new posts eg.

And, what you see the the whole forums. I only shows you the forums structure as a directory.
There're a lot differences.

[iBlazee]

Any live demos :D ?

OK, thanks

I'll give it a shot

thanks man ;)

[Super Jinni]

ok

I have a little problem

how to make direction (rtl) instead of (ltr)?

----------------
Edit:
I figured that out..

[Coroner]

Try it

[Super Jinni]

ok, I have some issues or you can say they're requests:
how to remove/hide the number of forums each category contains?
and why are subforums above main forums? how to make subforums under main forums?
another thing:
is it possible to make another icon for main forums different from subforums'?
I think it'll be better if there is an obvious difference between subforums and main forums.

in the package in the images folder there are three folders two of them (fusion_air and fusion dark) are empty and I think there is no need to include them

thanks..

[Coroner]

Um, let me sort the questions and before another question. Have you downloaded it and take a look at the READ.ME ?

After installing, vBulletin Options.
How to remove/hide the numbers: this is the "listed" Style. If so, you can change between ordered/unordered List.
Why are Subforums above the Mainforums? Set "show all" to not all. All means, that all Forums will shown.
how to make subforums under main forums? Please, explain what you mean. Normaly my english is horrible and I was wondering why ich supported in english *g
is it possible to make another icon for main forums different from subforums'? I make 5 new Icons only for the Mainforums. And yes you can change them. All new Icons called: miniforum....

Hope that will help's you.
:rolleyes:

yes, I've read the READ.ME.htm file

No, I don't mean those numbers. I mean the number of how many forums under one category
see the attached pic to get what I mean

Why are Subforums above the Mainforums? Set "show all" to not all. All means, that all Forums will shown.

how to make subforums under main forums? Please, explain what you mean. Normaly my english is horrible and I was wondering why ich supported in english *g

ok, I have a forum called Sports which has many subforums some of them called: football, tennis, martial arts etc
so it should be listed in this way:
first the main forum which is Sports and under of it the subforums in this order:
Sports
-- football
-- tennis
-- martial arts
-- etc

but this mod show the subforums first then the main forum in this order
football
tennis
martial arts
Sports

so the main forum is under the subforums and I think it should be above.


is it possible to make another icon for main forums different from subforums'? I make 5 new Icons only for the Mainforums. And yes you can change them. All new Icons called: miniforum....

Hope that will help's you.
:rolleyes:

that is not what I mean

I mean the main forums and subforums have the same icon which make it hard if no impossible to recognize which one is the main forum and which one is the subforum

if you can make the forums list be in this way I thin it will be better:
- Main forum 1
-- subforum 1
-- subforum 2
-- subforum 3
- Main forum 2
-- subforum1
-- subforum2
- Main forum 3
- Main forum 4

so anyone can recognize which one is the main forum and which one is the suforum
and if the icon can be different it will be much better..

thanks

:)

[Coroner]

OK, sorry, in forums_directory.php search for (4 times)
<span class="smallfont">(' . $subcount . ')</span>
and remove it.

I don't knoiw why your Subforums above the Mainforums. I'll take it from the forumscache

[macc]

[Super Jinni]

ok, great..

thanks for updates

:)

[Super Jinni]

Hi again:
after upgrading I think there is a problem
the subforums don't show up any more..
I've tried all the option but they still don't show up.

another thing

for the Depth Options there is:
*all
*not all

whatever I choose of them nothing changes..

any ideas?

thanks again

[Coroner]

I've tested it. I build another forums-structure (same as @macc) and test it.
The subforums are avaible.

so, which depth you are using?
I use 2-2-3

[joeycano]

Can you advise on how to add links as I want to add things like: chat, photopost, email us, etc.

Thanks

[Coroner]

I think, there's no chance. All informations comes from the $vbulletin->forumcache.
Or did I misunderstand your question ?

[Super Jinni]

I've tested it. I build another forums-structure (same as @macc) and test it.
The subforums are avaible.

so, which depth you are using?
I use 2-2-3

I also use 2-2-3
but still there are no subforums shown..
only after upgrading..
before upgrading the subforums were there but they were before and above main forums
now, I have the main forums, and I have the number of subforums in each main forum
but the subforums their selves are not there..

am I doing something wrong?

:)

[Leo Brazil]

I was thinking how can I use this only as a CMPS Module ?

Good idea by the way.

Cheers

You've got a link where I can see your structure ?

[Super Jinni]

Sure

here you are:

BTW, it's in Arabic

[Coroner]

I'll take a look and anything is right. There's no subforums on the 1st site but ...
http://forum.algetal.com/forums_directory.php?f=2

[Super Jinni]

yes, so I want the subforums be shown on the 1st site..

:)

[Coroner]

no chance

[Super Jinni]

but before you update this mod they were there
they disappeared only after upgrading

[ShawneyJ]

[Forum Lover]

Can you please make someting similar like this?

[Blackhat]

I like this one, but can you add the RSS feed for each forum in the front ?

[Coroner]

Maybe, in a further version

[momo2]

very nice indeed, installed

[wtrk]

is there a way to make the categories links? the forums and subforums are obviously links but the categories arent. thanks.
