Sub-Forums

I updated the hack a little so it looks nice.

http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=173883&t=272#post173883

Credit To: ethank

Added:

Display order, so it orders the sub-forums the way they are listed in your admin CP.

Added an hr.

Thats it it!

if you watn the HR to look good add this into your
"Custom replacements"

hr is replaced by <hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor }"

{ tablebordercolor } - dont forget to remove the spaces "{ }

that is it!

Demo

[Kajiro]

thx valid~ Nice Work!!:D
but when i add SIZE code in the HR .. get Error~
anyway... this is very useful~

[Goldfinger]

try putting a \ before any " on your size

like.. <hr size=\"1\">

[Juan]

This hack is very cool. Can it be done with the forums in a category?

[mbombd]

great hack, i was lookin' for this, thx :)

[ethank]

Awww, you made it perty! :)

I'll put the update on my code.

[floleb7]

does this can be done for index ?

Yes this way, take a look!

EXCELLENT

and so amazingly easy to add !!

Great Hack, valid - easy to implement and works like a charm :D

woo~ this can fix my problem~~
thx Q very MUCH ;)

[DarkReaper]

Right...this didn't work for me. Do forums have to have a description for this to work? Lots of my forums don't have descriptions....

Also, how would I get it so it only shows the total threads/replies for all the subforums added up, but not the subforums themselves?

[valid]

here, look at this screenshot!

Thats how you do it!

[valid]

still works!

as you can see in the txt file, you need to mod 2 files, not just index.php

index.php and forumdisplay.php

[JJR512]

A very very trivial matter...but for the sake of making the subforum links exactly identical to the regular forum links, I changed the line that starts with $subs.= so that the forumid number and sessionhash were reversed. The stock vB has the sessionhash in the link first, followed by the forum specification...in this hack, it's backwards. As I said, it's trivial, I'm sure it makes no difference; I just like to have things looking the same, that's all.

$subs.="<a href=\"forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum_child[forumid]\">$forum_child[title]</a>";

[DarkReaper]

I have forums that have subforums. They go 5 levels deep. I modified both files. It doesn't work.

[valid]

Than I dont know whats wrong, : P (sorry), should have worked with ease, maybe you have some other hacks runing that prevent it from displaying or you installed it wrong, who knows, I'm very limited in php codeing.

So this hack is not suppored, just trying to help the best way I can, and I didnt write it "ethank" did, I only mod it a little to give it a better look and display order of the forums, thats all.

[Goldfinger]

Valid on your board how'd you do the auto post.. thats real cool. share :).

[valid]

Go to dev forum and then to vbulletin hacks section on that forum! : P

[JJR512]

I'm wondering if there can be some way to indicate on the main page if the subforums have new posts. In a main forum, where you have the subforums listed below it (under an hr), I'm thinking of some kind of little indicator, about the same size as the smallfont text. I guess we would have to have two new graphics, one to indicate on and one to indicate off, but could you write into your hack the code to make it light up appropriately?

I've been wanting that as well...but I'd also like to have it add up the thread and reply count for all the sub-forums and show that too...as well as the last posted date, etc...

Its possible, but a bit query intensive in my case cause of the markread table. Also it might be a bit cluttered.

Ethan

[valid]

ethank is right : P

Nice idea but in my case, I have lots of subforums, it would get cluttered as ethank said, haveing like 6 or less, its a good idea, bad idea for like 11 and up, and if you have like 1000+ members and all of them post in the subforums all the subforums would have a gif/jpg indicator that theres new post, and that would use up too much forum space, if you dont mind scrolling and scrolling all the time to get to a forum on index.php, lol, you get the idea.

[JJR512]

I only meant a small little gif, like maybe a little dot or something...but OK. How about this then: Have the link to the subforum be one color if it has new posts, be another color if it doesn't? Or something along those lines.

[DarkReaper]

I think you're missing the point. The graphic itself isn't the problem, but the fact that a lot more queries are nessesary to check for new posts throughout an entire forum hierarchy is excess load.

[valid]

what Dark said! : P

hehe was going to say that but didnt know how, me = limited in php.

I love it! :)

Thanks!

[Axelon]

i don't see the subforum...

i have only the write :

subforum:



:( :( :(

[Kengan]

Nice Hack !! ;)

[hacker]

One of the simplest and yet very elegant hack!!

BTW, I don't understand this. Can someone explain it to me?

if you watn the HR to look good add this into your
"Custom replacements"

hr is replaced by <hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor }"

{ tablebordercolor } - dont forget to remove the spaces "{ }

[YourHostSucks]

<hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor } ">

take out the space after { and before }

Will make you hr line size"1" (nice and small)
and color will be your styles color for the table border...

[hacker]

Where do I find this line of code?

[YourHostSucks]

I am going to assume you already installed this hack...

So, open index.php and forumdisplay.php

Search For:

$forum['description'] .= "<hr><B>Sub-Forums:</B> ";

Replace With:

$forum['description'] .= "<hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor } "><B>Sub-Forums:</B> ";

But take out the space after { and before } around tablebordercolor.

[hacker]

Thanks for your help.

Only thing now: Whenever I replace the code that you gave me, I get an error message:

Parse error: parse error in /home/public_html/forums/index.php on line 291

[hacker]

$forum['description'] .= "<hr><B>Sub-Forums:</B> ";

Replace With:

PHP:

$forum['description'] .= "<hr size="1" color="#555576 "><B>Sub-Forums:</B> ";

I just can't seem to get past the error.

[mister]

you need to escape your quotes.

put a \ before any " inside your string.

your code should be:

$forum['description'] .= "<hr size=\"1\" color=\"#555576\"><B>Sub-Forums:</B> ";

[hacker]

Thanks a million. The escape characters really helped! Thank you thank you thank you!!!:p

[YourHostSucks]

Sorry hacker,


I waited like 10 min's to seee if you would reply..
But you did not so I figure it all went well, and went to bed. :)

But you could also just remove the "

Code off my fourmdisplay.php:
$forum['description'] .= "<hr size=1 color={ tablebordercolor }><B>Sub-Forums:</B>";

I was very sleepy when I posted that, but if I was still up
would have helped.. sorry (hehe)

[hacker]

Thank you, I had to leave for an appointment :).

[Afterburner]

thx for this nice hack

[hacker]

Thanks again. This makes navigation so much simpler!

[halo1]

NP, I'm NanoEntity, pritty neat hack if you ask me! : P

all you have to do is add a replacemnet var

<hr

replaced by

<hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor }"

this will look all over your forum hor <hr and replace it with size 1 and border color.

make is look nice all over your forum.

[h4p3]

Does anybody know, if this still works with 2.2.0?

[Hotte]

Sorry, but this hack generates too much queries.

This hack is great! I've been hardcoding that stuff forever on my forums (I have close to 100 boards, and can't even think of putting them all on the main page!) Thanks for doing this, it will definitely make things a lot easier to manage!
Kim:)

PS Just read the remark about it generating a lot of queries- anyone finding that it bogs down your server? If so, I may have to continue to hard code, but nice to know that there is an alternative!

Is there any way to show "Sub-Forums:" in RED and the Sub-forums in BOLD ?


Thanks and excuse my english (I put the colours to show you how I would like it to appear).

I used the basis of the hack. Modified extremely... and works great. Does not generate many extra queries, and is damn fast.

[DarkReaper]

I just want to show the forums that have subforums, but no posts themselves, and therefore don't show up as anything but the name of the ategory on the main index page....I want to have the reply count and post count for those shown on the main forum page like other normal forums are. How can I do this the best way, with the fewest queries?

[xgamer]

cool hack and is very easy to install

[philphee]

Works like a charm, thx for the great hack!

[RobAC]

Is there a way to exclude certain subforums from showing up such as private forums?

[ixian]

Nice hack! I have it working at my site.

Question - Currently, I can't get subforums to show up under CATAGORIES, only other forums. To get around this, I made my Catagories forums, then locked them for new posts so no one would post in them. This works fine, however, that also makes the "Locked" icon appear next to them.

Any way to change the locked icon to active/inactive again even if the main forum is locked but the subforums are not? I've had several users complain that they used to pay attention to the active/inactive icons (never knew that, I don't, but hey).

[Sven]

Very nice hack ;)

But I think there's a little glitch if a subforum has subforums.
The subforums of subforum are displayed this way

subforum
subforums: x, y
x
y

Is there a way to prevent it?

See attachment:

[Psychdrone]

NO offence but this hack sucks,

Everyone so that your aware, it adds a query for every subforum that you have, so watch out!

[tamarian]

Yes, if you have many subforums, this hack can be very expensive (100+ queries).

However, you can easily optimize it.

I deleted this portion:

$permission=$DB_site->query_first("select accessmask from access where userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND forumid = $forum_child[forumid]");
if ($permission['acessmask'] != 0 || $permission['accessmask'] == null)
{

And the matching "}"

This will reduce the queries to only the number of main forums you have (mine went down from 130 to 40)

Warning To use this optimization, make sure you have no hidden/private sub-forums that reside under public forums.

[Jonathan]

PLEASE HELP! URGENT!

After installing the hack I get this error:

Parse error: parse error in /var/www/html/forumdisplay.php on line 401

These are what the lines read:

400 - $limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
401 - $limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perp

and 401 is the last line on mine, what's wrong?

PLEASE HELP, IT'S VERY URGENT!

[eGoR]

amazing work on this code
thx alot :P

[Corbu]

I link soo much this hacks !

I'have a request. It works on vb 2.2.5. I install it and it looks : screenshot at the end of the post.

I'll try to made a better design of this by remplacing the code of the hack by this on forumdisplay.php :
// ADDED BY ERK
if ($forum[cancontainthreads]!=0)
{

$subforums=$DB_site->query("select title,forumid from forum where parentid = $forum[forumid] and active != 0 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($subforums)>0)
{
$forum['description'] .= "<hr><B>Sous-forums:</B> ";
}
$i = 0;
while ($forum_child=$DB_site->fetch_array($subforums))
{
$i++;
$permission=$DB_site->query_first("select accessmask from access where userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND forumid = $forum_child[forumid]");
if ($permission['acessmask'] != 0 || $permission['accessmask'] == null)
{
$subs.="<a href=\"forumdisplay.php?forumid=$forum_child[forumid]&s=$session[sessionhash]\"><li>$forum_child[title]</li></a>";
if ($i < $DB_site->num_rows($subforums))
{
$subs.="";
}
}
}
$DB_site->free_result($subforums);
$forum_child=null;
$forum['description'].= $subs;
$subs=null;
}
// END ADDED


But now...I have a big request :

I wanted to make the button at the left of the name of the sub-forum as an indicator gif button such as the same of when there is a new message on the forums. To know witch sub-forum as new messages...

Do you understand my request ? I'm sorry for my english...

Thank you.

[FCorner]

This is totally cool! Thank you! :-D

Yea I have the same question/problem. If there is a way to NOT show the sub-forums under the hacked sub-forums when you're in the thread, this would be perfect. :D

This is a fantastic hack, thanks for this. I've tweaked it a little for myself but it makes a great difference. Accessing all forums from the main page is a great addition to a forum. :)

[TLfuRy]

Yup, running on 2.2.9 test forum now - works fine. What problems are you having?

[Brain Crusher]

Question, if i have a board
like

1) music
2) dvd
3) xxx

and add a subforums in music like
1) music --> vinyls
2) music --> cds
3) music --> upcoming

Now i want make show subforums from cds in the index, i will use this hack but a big question, i want make cd´s to onlay a forumcategory, which should only show the subforums...if i now click the options not open for new postings, the cds subforum is closed, and if i post new postings in a subforum of cds, the index will not show this, any guy know a trick for me? I read the subforum with a new posting, will be bold text...

This sucks, help me :)!

[sonic3d]

can ne1 help me?

[Cyn]

I'd like to use this but have a problem I can't pinpoint. The subforum titles appear hyperlinked in the parent forum title on the home page BUT it looks like this:

Subforum1 (www.vbulletin.org) Subforum2 (www.vbulletin.org) Subforum3 (www.vbulletin.org)"> ParentForum

It looks just like that with the subforums in color and the "> and the parent forum title in black.

Why would it put the Parent forum title at the end? And why the " and the > ?

Works great

There's another hack that doesn't add "One Query" to your forum!

[MaDCaT75]

I tried to view the demo but it said I had no permission?

[deathemperor]

hi there, need help ^ ^
the sub-forums in the forum home show well, but my problem is those sub-forums didnt have a hyperlink to them :( so that after i added this, it is just only to show the name of the sub-forums ( cant access them in the forum home, there is NO links )
slove me this please

[X-Sector]

Awesome hack man

[MickDoneDee]

This feature comes with vB3+. Example:

Admin CP --> vBulletin Options --> Forum Listings Display Options -->
Depth of Forums - Forum Home --> enter a value
Depth of Sub-Forums --> enter a value and click Save.

For example, if your forums are setup like this:

parent
--child
----child's child

And your forum depth is set to 2 and this setting is set to 3 then you will see the first two forums displayed "fully" on the forum homepage while the level 3 "child's child" forum will appear within the "child" forum's description:

parent
--child
child forum's description.
Sub-Forums: child's child
