Does ANYONE know how to get this to work with forumdisplay and not just forumhome?

I will donate 50$ US to someone that are willing to do it and give me a bit support on it :D

That just requieres another fileedit!

In includes/functions_forumlist.php search for: (Backup before you do any edits!)


if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))



if ((THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay') AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))

[Cheertobi]

Can you pm me an adminaccount, need to check something in your forumsettings and template.

[Smoothie]

Can anyone that uses this tell me how you have your forums setup under forum manager in the admin cp? I'm not sure how I have mine set is correct.

Also, did you modify another template to remove forum, last post, threads, posts from the category header?

[vietConnecting]

Sry for my stupid question, but this mod is work with vesion 3.6.4 ?
Thank!

[vietConnecting]

I'm use vesion 3.6.4, have error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_forum_columns()

$childforumbits = construct_forum_columns($forum['forumid'], $forum['subforumcolumns']);

[Smoothie]

I'm use vesion 3.6.4, have error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_forum_columns()

$childforumbits = construct_forum_columns($forum['forumid'], $forum['subforumcolumns']);Yea, it's works with 3.6.4.

[Discussions]

Just installed and it works perfectly (3.6.4)

[Discussions]

Is there any way to make this also work for actual sub forums? So far all is going great, beyond that little issue.

[Smoothie]

Even after reading thru all 18 pages and trying all suggested I could not get this to work with subforums. Ever since Xenon moved on, the support for this mod is weak at best.

[zkilzz]

Im also waiting for someone to make this for forumdisplay!:(

[zkilzz]

I just made a new request for this mod. Maybe that helps.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1136407#post1136407
Please show your interest here.

[sylem]

I have the Aria skin (from vBstyles) installed on my board, and I've downloaded and installed this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99829&page=18

And everything is working beautifully except I can't edit the template correctly so what ends up happening is my forum columns get this extra gray box on the right side of them. On the instructions it says:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ edit template forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost +++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

if your columnized forums should be below open for post categories, you also have to change level1_post that way..

find:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


replace with:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if condition="$forum['subforumcolumns'] > 1">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<table style="border: none; width: 100%;">
$childforumbits
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<else />
$childforumbits
</if>
</tbody>
</if>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only problem is, on the Aria skin on that template, I have to work with this:

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$vbphrase[threads]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$vbphrase[posts]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
$childforumbits
</if>


So its made it pretty difficult to integrate in there without messing up the forums. Can anyone help me out?

[Nudda]

awesome...ill post again if i encounter any problems

[Discussions]

It would be nice if someone would take this and make a new version with updates, extra features. Xenon has all but left the community and given up on updating any of his addons/modifications - that in my opinion is abadonment of the project and should be open for anyone to release a new copy.

he is been here ?

This works with a little tinkering on 3.6.4

[baerwurz]

3,64 working fine.

But a question how have I to edit the Code to show the Forumns up like here:

http://www.goteamsgo.com/forum/

Left the Image of the Forum (i?ve installed the hack to show different images on each forumn)

and right;

Forum Name
Last Thread Title
Day and Time last Post | image to last post


I hope anyone could help me.

[imk]

how do i remove the forum markers and center the forum link?

[R.Solutions]

Any news on centering the forum link and image if you have one>?

[imk]

how do i get rid of the forum icons and center it?

[ibuddy]

what does he mean by "now you have to edit the category, which's subforums should be in columns and change the value into
the ammount of columns, you want to have."

Where do I go to change this?

[Eagle Eyes]

How do i get it look like this guys?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=38223&d=1132906096

[Eagle Eyes]

I only get thet by using a table for that!

Without testing I would try somethin like that:


<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]" width="$column_width">
<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
<td><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>


Tobi

Where did you paste it?

[Cheertobi]

I think it was in the template that was created by the product!

[lovelypk]

Working fine for me on 3.6.4 but how do i show last post info, total threads and posts of the forums?

Like this:
60348

Also i want to know, how to show the small statusicon icons instead of big icons.

Thanks in advance.

[BigJimTheLug]

Help.

I couldn't get this to work on my forum.

I now have categories separated, but they are not vertical columns.

Everything is the same and I think I am missing one final detail to get this mod to work completely.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Nice site. ;)

Hope you fix things.

[magnaromagna]

Installed but does not work:


is not for 3.6 version I suppose?

moving the hack code at the top of the file the error disappears.

If the forumhome is not into index.php but in home.php may I edit the file where says

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
:confused:

Because in home.php now is not working

[BigJimTheLug]

So does this work on vb 3.6.4 without any massively technical tinkering?

I'd be easier if someone were to mod this into compliance with 3.6.4.

[Smoothie]

I had it working on 3.6.4 but you need to do template edits to fine tune it.

[JollyJack]

Can someone please tell us what the template edits are for 3.6.4 or as the coder of this hack nolong supports it, someone rewrite it for 3.6.4

We are not all coders and want to have great looking forums

[aceofspades]

Bump id also like to know

[Smoothie]

I can't remember the name of the templates this installs specifically, but if you look under forum_home, you'll see them. Those are the templates that you would need to edit to make this to your liking.

[BigJimTheLug]

I can't remember the name of the templates this installs specifically, but if you look under forum_home, you'll see them. Those are the templates that you would need to edit to make this to your liking.

Ok, with what do you have to edit?

What is the exact thing you have to do?

You go into the forumhome and then what?

Hmmmmm....?

Any clues? :)

[maxicep]

nice hack ,thanks.

[satfox360]

I would like to upgrade to a newer version but vb but am using this hack on 3.5.4 right now. Would be great if anyone has any can provide detailed information on how to make this hack work with 3.6.4 or 3.6.5.

Thank you for any help provided and have a great day!

[delnouro]

Yeah upgrade please?

[Smoothie]

You peeps need to learn how to read through a thread. If you want the information, it's there, right in front of you. This works with 3.6.

[magnaromagna]

For my 3.6 does not works, as ny post in this thread reports ;) :rolleyes:

[Smoothie]

worked for me. Read my post.

[JollyJack]

worked for me. Read my post.

Back on page 17 even you was asking for help, can you link to which thread helped you

[satfox360]

You peeps need to learn how to read through a thread. If you want the information, it's there, right in front of you. This works with 3.6.

Were very glad it worked for someone who has been here since 2001 on 6.5.4 and you had to edits. We read that perfectly however we also read that you don't remember what edits you made. Telling us to edit forum home doesn't help much. Many others stating it didn't work. We were asking for a clear how to.

[Smoothie]

That's because the template edits were too time consuming and I never achieved the look I was after. In it's present state it works, but cosmetically you may not like what you see. That's one of the reasons I gave up on it. When installed, it needs too much work.

I can't specify what you need to do because I did the edits to my liking, which probably wouldn't be to yours. There are a few helpful posts about how to align this and that, but there is no "set in stone" template edits I could tell you about.

satfox360,

Because it's been a while since I had this installed, I'm trying to steer you in the right direction, that's the best I can do. I don't remember the exact edits, nor do I remember the template names

[BigJimTheLug]

Ok, I'm going through this entire thread until I find it and then I will post an approximate way of doing this mod. :)

Bye.

Thanks for the input. I have it working exactly how I like it on ftalife.com and don't want to switch to the new version untill i'm sure it will work. I will test it on another forum and report back in detail later.

Thanks to anyone who can provide any helpful information.

[004]

Yes, it works on 3.6.5.
Same instructions.

I couldn't get it to work. Tried again & again, but no go.....til i disabled/uninstalled all but vbshout (have since reinstalled all), reverted the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template, and started over. In other words....User Error somewhere along the line.

1) Edited new/original functions_forumlist.php
2) Edited forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
3) Imported product-xenon_forumcols
4) Set columns in Forum Manager for specific category

Easy Squeazie!!

[aceofspades]

When it says:

then add this new function to the file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// ###################### Start construct_forum_columns #######################
function construct_forum_columns($parentid, $columncount)
{
global $vbulletin, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $show;
global $imodcache, $lastpostarray, $counters, $inforum;

// this function takes the constant MAXFORUMDEPTH as its guide for how
// deep to recurse down forum lists. if MAXFORUMDEPTH is not defined,
// it will assume a depth of 2.

if ($columncount == 0)
{..................

What does it mean, am i just meant to put this at the very end of the file or what?

[aceofspades]

On top of this the template edits no longer work with 3.6, they are totally different so this doesnt work with 3.6

[BigJimTheLug]

I couldn't get this to work either.

I could really use something like this.........

Darn it.

It doesnt work for 3.6 dont bother trying it.

[category]

It does work on the latest 3.6.5
http://www.drillerdeals.com/forum/ example

[magnaromagna]

Yes, it works on 3.6.5.
Same instructions.

I couldn't get it to work. Tried again & again, but no go.....til i disabled/uninstalled all but vbshout (have since reinstalled all), reverted the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template, and started over. In other words....User Error somewhere along the line.

1) Edited new/original functions_forumlist.php
2) Edited forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
3) Imported product-xenon_forumcols
4) Set columns in Forum Manager for specific category

Easy Squeazie!!

I have two 3.6.5 forums. I made the same changes in both: one works, the other no! :confused:

[aceofspades]

Hmm sounds like a bodge though since it didnt work on a fresh 3.6.5. It needs to updated :(

[unnpro]

How can I arrange forum in columns and not subforums in forumhome?
Actually I display only forum (40+) in forumhome.

Thanks in advance :-)

[Kohhal]

I have this working on 3.6.5 so I know it works. About to upgrade to 3.6.7PL1 and am just wondering if there are any new issues with it, for people that had it working on 3.6.x before?

[xMisunderstoodx]

It doesn't work properly when you upgrade to 3.6.7.

[Kohhal]

But it was working good for you on 3.6.5?

[xMisunderstoodx]

Yeah fine

[xMisunderstoodx]

Actually it will work fine when you upgrade silly me forgot about the file edits lol

[Kohhal]

Good to know, thanks. Will upgrade today so :)

[Desi-Home]

Can you please provide this mod for vB 3.6.x

If yest.. then please PM me because i won't be checking it..

Thanks..

[Kohhal]

Jeez, people like you don't deserve hacks like this, it's a wonder anyone provides hacks for free at all anymore :mad:

It already works on 3.6.x if you read the thread!

[Desi-Home]

my dear.. i tried to install it on 3.6.7 and it installed successfuly

but the edits gave me big hedic.. i cannot see 22 pages and check where's 3.6.7 edite mentioned

if somebody can provide this mod's edits for 3.6.7 that will be wounderful.. im running Approx skin

[Desi-Home]

i got it working finally.. but don't know how to show last post and threads info.. like this site has

www.bwtorrents.com

[wolfe]

m8 i have removed this mod and now the childforums are not showing on the index page but they are on the forumdisplay page

[BigJimTheLug]

i got it working finally.. but don't know how to show last post and threads info.. like this site has

www.bwtorrents.com


I have the latest vb edition, can you show what you did to get this modification working.....

I cannot figure this one out.......


Thanks. ;)

[Jeffler]

Hey, can anyone put up an updated version of this for 3.6.7?

[Stickers]

Why dont you use Cyb - Forumhome Sub-Forums Manager ;)

[Kohhal]

Hey, can anyone put up an updated version of this for 3.6.7?
This works on 3.6.7

Why dont you use Cyb - Forumhome Sub-Forums Manager ;)

Can this other hack be used to reproduce this one?

[JTS2005]

is there a mod that can add different icons to the subforums? basically have a team logos to certain teams as this site http://www.footballforum.com

i have searched and no luck.

[Kohhal]

I couldn't get this to work on 3.6.8, anyone else?

[gmtalk]

Works on 3.6.8

I am just not able to get latestposts to be linkable now.

[Reece^B]

Never mind :)

[Charuvils]

can u please upgrade it to 3.6.8 version ..

[ludachris]

Can this hack be made to work so that only specified forums are shown in columns but not all?

[Hoffi]

You can set it up for each Category.
@Charuvils: It Works on 3.6.8 Why you don't Test it?

[TPOCJames]

Hey,

Is there a fix for custom status icons not working with 3.6.8?

Custom Status Icons appear in normal forums, and under the parent forum when viewing the parent forum of a child that is in a column, but it won't display it on the actual column itself.

Does anyone know why or how to fix this?

[Hoffi]

I developed my own StatusIcon Hack that Works with this Hack. I released it on vbgermay.org and can release it here too. But it's in German now, I must translate it.

[silence25]

@Charuvils: It Works on 3.6.8 Why you don't Test it?

I've tested it, and it does not work. The instructions for the edits in admincp/forum.php are different then whats actually in forum.php. Resulting in some errors when you try to add new forums to the site.

This Line here:

if ($forum['password'] != $oldforuminfo['password'] AND $applypwdtochild)
{
$DB_site->query("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
SET password = '" . addslashes($forum['password']) . "'
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('$forumid', parentlist)
");
}

Is not in admincp/forum.php
so, i can not find a proper place to put:

// update subforum in columns setting
if ($forum['subforumcolumns'] != $oldforuminfo['subforumcolumns'])
{
$DB_site->query("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum
SET subforumcolumns = " . intval($forum['subforumcolumns']) . "
WHERE forumid = $forumid
");
}

Resulting in errors in the acp when trying to add forums.

I've seen other sites pull this off using the latest versions of vbulletin, complete with forum icons and properly aligned text as well. I'm pretty good at figuring things out, even if instructions aren't really clear.. however for this particular mod, i can't seem to get it to work, and no one really wants to give up their secret if they did happen to get it to work.

It works even on vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 3. You are doing something wrong.

thanks..

[soundbarrierpro]

Does not work in 3.6.8. cyb sub forum manager works better.

[Hoffi]

But Cybs is a different one. ;)

[smartwulf]

Still don't know how to show the latest post under the forum name, humm, anyone have any idea?

[SEOvB]

works fine on 3.7RC 1 with included instructions no problems at all!

[dcw]

I am using 3.7 and I followed the instructions, my site is a white page...

[SEOvB]

Try to do the file edit again of functions_forumlist.php

[dcw]

I tried to do it twice last night, I'll try again... :)

Do you go to ftp, and then includes and open the functions_forumlist.php?

[jluerken]

Can this be ported to 3.7 without the need to do file edits and using the new hooks?

[Hoffi]

I think not.

[soundbarrierpro]

This is where the function goes

then add this new function to the file:

The "Add new Function" code goes at the very bottom of the functions_forumlist.php file right before this <?

[MSheraz86]

^^ well yeah it does go above the <? part but above that you have this rectangle box with text inside it showing what time the mod was downloaded I think and something about CVS and Revision? Anyhow, the text you're talking about goes ABOVE that rectangle section and just below:

}

return $forumbits;
}

I can confirm that this is fully working on vBulletin 3.7.0 as I just upgraded from 3.6.8 and installed this :)

[koolfire]

This doesnt work on 3.6.8 :'( Please guys i need this hack badly!

Ths Hack works on all 3.6 and 3.7

I hack work on all 3.6.x , b 3.7.x and show forumdisplay in forumhome :)

[datruth55]

Is there a way to show columns in the forumdisplay view? In other words, if I click on a catagory it will take me to a sub-forum view with all the sub-forums listed underneath. Can I change that view to a column view like this hack does on the Index page?

Invalid SQL:

i check the database, and it doesn't have table "subforumcolumns"

what can i do to uninstall this product ?

Thanks, works fine on 3.7.

I did all the edits but could only get it to display on forumdisplay when i added this to forumdisplay.php

Got this to work, but it won't stretch 100%...it stops at the threads and replies count. On 3.7.1. Help?

Remove the thread and reply column.

[Jeffler]

I figured it out now...but new question. I can't get the "catagory icons" mod in forums that have this on. How would I get about doing that? It works on normal forums but not the ones in columns.

[sparklywater]

I'm confused, what do I need to do with the file 'product-xenon_forumcols' that comes in the zipped folder? I didn't see anything in the instructions about this?

I don't understand this sentence in the instructions, can someone please explain? :

if your columnized forums should be below open for post categories, you also have to change level1_post that way..

What does it mean by '...should be below open for post categories...' ?

Wow dude, thank you very much! Much appreciated. I've been messing with that php code for quite some time now and didn't realize I had to add another block of else/if. Instead I was modifying the first if statement.

Anyway, here's a quick question. Currently we have the old version of your tabbed hack and it works just fine. I'm not planning on installing the AJAX one just yet. Anyway, are the template edits you posted above for the AJAX version?

Hey Nick,

Yes, that "fix" above is for the AJAX Version. The first version (manual setup/non ajax) would require something totally different. It doesn't take much to install the AJAX Version and its a heck of a lot easier/faster to setup than the first one. Version 2.0 (Not released yet) will have built in support for this mod) ..

THANK YOU!!!!! Great!!!!!!

One little Question: How i will get this with the alternate statusicons to work?

[Blackheart_72]

Not sure how that hack works but you could try changing:

forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" class="ForumImages

to

$forumid.png" alt="" class="ForumImages

if you could link me to the images hack you are using i will take a look

[swissknife]

Thank you for your quick answer!

I am using the original vbulletion option for alternative statusicons....

[Blackheart_72]

Thank you for your quick answer!

I am using the original vbulletion option for alternative statusicons....

I had noticed you had switched back to the default icons, i dont think vb has a feature to change them out of the box unless i have missed it.

[Infopro]

Go to Edit a Forum and find the Style Options section. ;)

Remove the thread and reply column.

how are you going to remove the "Last Post/Thread/Post" without effecting others forum, that not in column format?

[Blackheart_72]

I am still kinda confuse how to remove those three areas for the subforum column and without affecting other standard one?

Modify this will remove those three section on column format but will not change for other standard forums, right?

[Blackheart_72]

Yes, change the bit you added for the hack to what i posted up and you should be good to go.

Click the link in my sig and you will see what it does but if by any chance it does not work then we will take another look at it.:)

[rapidphim]

no no no.... after replaced the code you provided, it messed up the whole layout ....

[Blackheart_72]

no no no.... after replaced the code you provided, it messed up the whole layout ....

What way did it mess it up?

You can take your code from the post you made here and out it back for now.

[rapidphim]

Veccy, it's OK... I can live with that. However, do you know how am I going to get:

1/ the latest post info lie right beneath the forum title as in this website?
http://www.nbadimensions.net/forums/

2/ and how/where I can remove the "Thread/Post" so that only left "The latest post" and move number of post a side
http://www.nbadimensions.net/forums/

3/ also, it does not show the number of member/guest view on the forum anymore .... can we put it back?

Thanks so much.

[saxahan]

thank for plugin.

[bollie]

How can i remove statusicon from columns ?

[compact123]

Can anyone help me to do this T_T

How can i have the catagory icons display i near statusicon..

I'm use this is catagory icon mod: http://www.vbhackers.com/f76/vb-category-icons-1412/

[JMEWLS`]

This doesn't work on 3.7.8?

:(

[Freddy.k]

Merci cool

[bollie]

This doesn't work on 3.7.8?

:(

Yes work for 3.7 & 3.8

[Allan]

For when this hack with hook system ?

:p

[JMEWLS`]

Yes work for 3.7 & 3.8

Doesn't work actually.

[JMEWLS`]

Could someone please verify if it's working for 3.7.4 or not. Because right now I can't get it working. If so please tell me how it is done.

[ArnyVee]

Someone that I asked has it working on 3.7.4

http://www.globalhockeynetwork.com/forum.php

.....I will be trying it on 3.7.4 within the next week or so to confirm on another one of my sites.

[GlamRockTalk]

Well, it works on 3.7.3 right out of the box :)

Thanks! :up:

Also, needed the help for adding the latest thread info added and found it on post #373!

add $forum[lastpostinfo] to your forumhome_forumbit_columncel template.


Very cool hack and something that I desperately needed! :D

[ArnyVee]

Thanks, works fine on 3.7.

I did all the edits but could only get it to display on forumdisplay when i added this to forumdisplay.php

if ($foruminfo['subforumcolumns'] > 1)
{
$forumbits = construct_forum_columns($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['subforumcolumns']);
}
else
{
$forumbits = construct_forum_bit($foruminfo['forumid']);
}

in place of
$forumbits = construct_forum_bit($foruminfo['forumid']

On line 425

Does this mean that I can get it to display on my forumdisplay in the same 'side by side' manner in which the forum home is displaying?

[ArnyVee]

Does ANYONE know how to get this to work with forumdisplay and not just forumhome?

I will donate 50$ US to someone that are willing to do it and give me a bit support on it :D

That just requieres another fileedit!

In includes/functions_forumlist.php search for: (Backup before you do any edits!)


if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))


if ((THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay') AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))

Tobi

Wait....or is it this way to do it?

[katie hunter]

Hi,

Can someone help upgrade this modification to 3.7
I am not really good with editing it :'(

[diouxsie]

Does this mod runs on 3.7.4?

[ArnyVee]

Runs on 3.7.3 for me and someone I know is using it on 3.7.4 :)

[katie hunter]

it could cause load spike since it is out dated, i don't know =/ i don't like editing the main vb php files for a modification.

[Blackheart_72]

Does this mean that I can get it to display on my forumdisplay in the same 'side by side' manner in which the forum home is displaying?

Click the link in my sig fella, go to the forums and choose regional groups.

That is how it displays for me after adding the above edit.

Cool, thanks! :D

It's just that one step, right Veccy? Or, did you do both steps that I quoted a couple of posts up?

[GlamRockTalk]

I need some suggestions on how to make this a little more manageable for my forum home. I've got 56 subforums and now I have 19 rows of forums on my forum home.

Please take a look .... http://www.glamrocktalk.com/

First suggestion I need is how to 'separate' them with a small line or something? Right now they are all sitting in one big table. How would I do that?

Secondly, what can I do to save space and not make it that long? (Aside from deleting a bunch of subforums :) )

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

[Qwest]

This works fine in my 3.8 GOLD install

See it here: www.diyautoforum.com

It is nice but it doesn't look quite as nice as the attachment i posted here.

katie hunter, I think someone mentioned that you have to combine the mod with the custom icons....

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102025

....to get the look you want.

[Blackheart_72]

Cool, thanks! :D

The only step i put in was the one i posted.:)

Mod works great on my 3.8 install.

[GlamRockTalk]

Any idea why I can't use the "Style Options" within the "Forum Manager" to add certain icons instead of the 'site-wide' ones?

I added a new prefix as instructed within the Style Options and uploaded the images, but it won't show for the forums where I have activated this mod on. But, the Style Options worked with the 'regular' forums where this hack is not enabled.

Any idea what I can do to fix that? Is there something that needs to be renamed within the xml now with versions 3.7 versus when it was originally coded?

EDITED: This is the only line within the xml that lists "statusicon"....

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

...does it need to be adjusted since we are now in the 3.7 or 3.8 versions?

EDITED #2: These are the statusicon references in the template edits.....

then add this new function to the file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// ###################### Start construct_forum_columns #######################

// do light bulb
$forum['statusicon'] = fetch_forum_lightbulb($forumid, $lastpostinfo, $forum);

OR

Within the same file....

// add lock to lightbulb if necessary
if ((!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canpostnew']) OR !($forum['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['allowposting'])) AND $vbulletin->options['showlocks'] AND !$forum['link'])
{
$forum['statusicon'] .= '_lock';


Do these need to be adjusted so that my statusicons work properly in those categories/forums in which this mod is enabled?

By the way, did you use the prefix field within the forum manager for the icons? Or, did Veccy help you with that as well?

Now go to your style options ( Styles & Templates > Style Manager > All style Options) and add the following into additional css:


/* Forum Images next to the Description for every Forum */
.ForumImages {
float: left;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-top: 2px;
}



Save your style options and you are done.

Now you simply need to create images called:

ForumID.png

for each forum you want to have an image and put it into /images/statusicon/
Example: 22.png


TIP: You can upload .gif images and just rename it in your FTP client as .png (works for me).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Dont forget to edit ur catagorys and select the number of columns at the end of the edit page.


You are done!

Enjoy!

[GlamRockTalk]

Thanks Kevin.

I'll wait to see if Veccy helps me get it working so that I can use the built in vB custom category icon field. If he can't get it to work, then I'll try your method as a backup. :D

[KevinL]

Cool beans :)

Just be aware that this is far from XHTML valid. I went from 1 error to 80! haha

So if you're big on validating your site you're going to have some work cut out for you after using this :D hahah

[Reece^B]

Veccy what are you using in your columncell template?
It's very neat and what not. Mind sharing lol?

[Reece^B]

On another note, when you have the columnised forums how did you remove the last post, threads, posts bit @ the top?

Could people share their template? I've spent got knows how long trying to make this look good, but it's not happening lol.

Also, anyone got that image prefix in the forum manager to work?

I have removed it from the columns but kept it in the normal forums, this is what i have where the code from the hack goes in level one no post:

I am going to look at the prefixes asap for glamrock and will post in here if i get it sorted.

[GlamRockTalk]

Veccy, thank you so much! I'd love to be able to use the normal prefix option within the forum manager for the custom icons! :D

[Reece^B]

Ledge you ledge, yeah same as above. :)

[ArnyVee]

Veccy, hopefully you can get it working for the normal prefix option. I'd rather do the "normal" way rather than the 'template way' :)

[Reece^B]

Yup, does it work in IE properly?

Because I get this in IE:
http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8610/picnm6.jpg
As you can see all the tables are spaced, not how they're supposed to be!

[Blackheart_72]

I will take a look later today, mine looks fine in IE with the default template.

Have had no luck with the prefixes yet though.

[carubmun]

Veccy, you have been helping people a great deal with this plugin it seems. Great thanks for that.
Im one of the many hapless folks who just cant make it work, at least not the way its supposed to work (in my head at least).
Ive been trying for a year now to get this to work... and no dice.
I like how you have it in your forum... very much like what i want to do.

1. Three Columns
2. The "last post" info visible.
3. And the Status Icon "old/new/locked,etc..." working correctly.

Would it be possible for you to put what you have done here as one step by step guide for those of us still having trouble?

[GlamRockTalk]

carubmun, you might want to look through some of the past posts. Veccy has detailed and even pasted the same codes he uses within the last few pages of this mod. Check 'em out, they may already help you with what you're looking for. :)

[Blackheart_72]

How to use image prefixes:

open the forumhome_forumbit_columncell template and find:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" class="ForumImages" /></td>

change to:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" class="ForumImages" /></td>

create 5 images and give them a prefix (i used 17_ for the example):

17_forum_link.gif
17_forum_new.gif
17_forum_new_lock.gif
17_forum_old.gif
17_forum_old_lock.gif

and upload them to your style statusicon folder, then i added 17_ in the prefix field.

[GlamRockTalk]

Oh man...thanks Veccy! :D

Worked for me! My code in the first line was just a little different, but I noticed what you did and it worked. Thank you so much for sharing and helping us with this! :up:

I have, im not entirely a noob at this kind of stuff... but for some reason i just cant get this to work.
Ive tried it like 20 times these past couple of days... and a bunch more times about a year ago before i gave up.
I know its all me, because others are not having the issues im having.
Tried it with the instructions found here by you guys, older instructions in this thread, instructions i saw on another vb forum... i disabled my tabs, tried it on 3 different skins including the default skin. Nothing.

So im gonna post here exactly what im doing, step by step.
See if im just missing a step somewhere.



1. Install product-xenon_forumcols.xml through admincp.

2. Download my functions_forumlist.php and do the Find/Change edit per this hacks original instructions.

3. Add the "Add This New Function" part at the very end of the functions_forumlist.php file, but above the box at the end.

4. Upload functions_forumlist.php back to my forum.

5. Go to my forumbit_level1_nopost file and do the Find/Replace edit as per the original instructions.

6. Go to Forum Manager and make subforums appear in 3 columns.

7. As it still did not work at this point, i went and added the contents of post #451 by Veccy in this thread... into my columncell. Still, nothing.

8. I repeat step 5, but this time using the info provided by Veccy in post #452. Still, nothing.


So, am I missing a step?

[Blackheart_72]

I have, im not entirely a noob at this kind of stuff... but for some reason i just cant get this to work.
Ive tried it like 20 times these past couple of days... and a bunch more times about a year ago before i gave up.
I know its all me, because others are not having the issues im having.
Tried it with the instructions found here by you guys, older instructions in this thread, instructions i saw on another vb forum... i disabled my tabs, tried it on 3 different skins including the default skin. Nothing.

So im gonna post here exactly what im doing, step by step.
See if im just missing a step somewhere.



1. Install product-xenon_forumcols.xml through admincp.

2. Download my functions_forumlist.php and do the Find/Change edit per this hacks original instructions.

3. Add the "Add This New Function" part at the very end of the functions_forumlist.php file, but above the box at the end.

4. Upload functions_forumlist.php back to my forum.

5. Go to my forumbit_level1_nopost file and do the Find/Replace edit as per the original instructions.

6. Go to Forum Manager and make subforums appear in 3 columns.

7. As it still did not work at this point, i went and added the contents of post #451 by Veccy in this thread... into my columncell. Still, nothing.

8. I repeat step 5, but this time using the info provided by Veccy in post #452. Still, nothing.

[djxcee]

Does anyone know how to make this display in a vertical alphabetic order?

A D
B E
C F

Instead of

A B
C D
E F

[GlamRockTalk]

djxcee,

You could simply change the display order in the forum manager main screen of the subforums.

[diouxsie]

Does anyone has already tryed this mod on vB 3.8.0?

I did change the display order but it doesn't show in a vertical alphabetic structure.

Yes fully works.

I was just wondering if by any possible way, we could make the last forums (in case of odd number of forums in a category) end up center aligned.

[livefreetv]

Hi,

Does anyone know how can i display the subforums (on forumhome) in the columncell?

[kairev]

This is what I'm trying to accomplish:

http://www.hockeyforum.com

See how each team is listed in different categories (Atlantic Division, Northeast Division, Southeast Division, etc). It looks like a subforum of a subforum, almost. How can I do this? The only thing I'm able to get going here is columns for the first set of subforums...but those subforums have subforums too. ie my first set of subforums would be labeled Atlantic Division, Northeast Division, Southeast Division. I have all the teams set as subforums of those...but they aren't showing up on the main forum. I attached a screenshot of what I get...

Can anyone please help?

[Indyaboard]

thank you

Need a mod for v3.8 plz!

it's very easy.

First you set the main forum which will hold the subforums, you set how many columns you want, then you get the forumid

then you edit the template forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopostyou look for:

<table style="border: none; width: 100%;">

$childforumbits
</table>and depending of the amount column that you set, this is how many <td that you put. For example for 3 columns, you would place the red in your template, replacing xx with the main forumid



<table style="border: none; width: 100%;">
<if condition="$forum[forumid]=='xx'">
<tr><td class="thead">Column 1 Title</td><td class="thead">Column 2 Title</td><td class="thead">Column 3 Title</td></tr>
</if>
$childforumbits
</table>then in admincp you simply arrange the subforums order so they display in the proper column.

You might want to add some css in the td to give them some padding

[legion!]

this is the error i get wen i try to install on 3.81

Fatal error: Field subforumcolumns is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 485

[Lionel]

This works just fine up to 3.82. You need to import the product and do the file edit, and you'll be fine.

[belindazhu]

don't work on 3.8.1, the error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/j/s/e/******/html/forum/includes/functions_forumlist.php on line 273

You should make updation to 3.8.x.

[belindazhu]

Veccy, it's OK... I can live with that. However, do you know how am I going to get:

1/ the latest post info lie right beneath the forum title as in this website?
http://www.nbadimensions.net/forums/

2/ and how/where I can remove the "Thread/Post" so that only left "The latest post" and move number of post a side
http://www.nbadimensions.net/forums/

3/ also, it does not show the number of member/guest view on the forum anymore .... can we put it back?

Thanks so much.

Hi Rapidphim,

I saw your forum, this hack showing very good on your forum 3.8.2, I am admiring.

I think many people admire that, you pass through it.

So could you please share with us how did you do on 3.8.x? I met problems after do as Xenon tell us, the error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/j/s/e/******/html/forum/includes/functions_forumlist.php on line 273

1. Copy your code here in "/includes/functions_forumlist.php" to me compeletely, ok?
2. Copy your code here in "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost", is it ok?

We need you.

So the modification just stuffs up the moderators in 3.8?

It's fine with everything else.

Thankyou, I can't seem to find it. It's weird.

[trinity9]

1. Imported product-xenon_forumcols.xml through admincp, imported fine.

2. Edited functions_forumlist.php via ftp and did the edits detailed in the instructions.

3. I added the "Add This New Function" above the footer description box at the very end of the functions_forumlist.php file.

4. Uploaded edited functions_forumlist.php back to my forum.

Then, when I went to check my forums (I still have another edit to do in templates,) each time I get a invalid compression error box on white screen with my forums totally inactive.

I am using 3.5.4 and do have other modifications including cyb-subforum mod.

Another note, in my forums edit, the box to Show Subforums in # of columns does appear.

I have re-inserted a brand new .php file to get my forums up and running, yet would like to get this hack active.

Any help would be appreciated.
