My pleasure, although I still need to ensure that chr(221) and chr(222) are not valid characters in your character set that may be used in a forum name.

I did notice that, however I am not aware of a way to solve this. I use the inbuilt php function "strcasecmp" to do the sorting which gives the result you see. If someone is aware of a php function that will sort correctly for a Vietnamese character set, I will be more than happy to investigate this further.

thank u

Is there a solution that does this not only for the forumhome but also when viewing category and forum pages?

Example:
My Forumhome , Category page , Forum page.

See how the last two could benefit from having the sub-forums organized like forumhome. This is the solution that I really need.

Can't see your examples at the moment, however I the PlugIn does work at any level. I'm sure that you have the Forum list display options / Forum home depth > 1 - Just make sure that the forum display option is also > 1

Hi Sorky, thanks for this great addition.

One question though:

I use a Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2 and would like to contiune to use this setting. I'd like to have certain forumids show their subforums in your compressed list-style and leave te remaining ones as they are now. Is this possible with the current product?

Thanks
Thomas

Never considered that, but it is definitely possible! This is what I just tried in the options and I liked the result!

• Sorky03 - SubForum List Control - V1.8.0

  / Display SubForum Descriptions (combines with all previous settings)

  / Prefix text

  = <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;
  

PS: I looked at your forum and you definitely can use this PlugIn to manage your SubForums! Enjoy!

Sure is! Have a look at just some of the options

Image was the earlier version with up to 5 columns and the text may not be clear, so a quick summary...

Choose any of the following as the default AND specify forum number(s) against any of them to override the default for that forum!

• No change
• Hide
• Formatting only (no columns)
• One column
• Two columns
• Three columns
• Four columns
• Five columns
• Six columns
• Seven columns
• Eight columns
• Nine columns
• Ten columns

Sorky I must say this plugin is great! vB should have incorporated all of these features to begin. My members definitely noticed a difference and all love it. Thanks a lot, and thanks for the help via PM's also!!!

Nominated + installed

I just found out about this... setlocale(LC_COLLATE, 'English');

If used with Vietnamese instead of English it may fix the sorting

Simply awesome...
Very useful MOD.
