it is on the edit forum form, at the very end

if it's not there for you, try to redownload the hack and reinstall it

Hello there,

Do I upload the XML files also or just make the changes to the includes/functions_forumlist.php ?

I have downloaded something different on one of your older post but It guess it would be better use this new post for the 3.5.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_forum_columns() in /home/httpd/vhosts/ftalife.com/httpdocs/includes/functions_forumlist.php on line 296

This is what was shown when you went to my website.

Hello Xenon,

I'm very sorry but I'm kind of a noobie to the add-ons and hacks.

I'm willing to make a donation via paypal and encourage anyone else to do the same for very descriptive instructions in a noobies prospective.

I have read through this whole post and think that your hack is great. I've seen how well it's been working for others and can't wait to get it on my forum.

I've seen you refer to install the product. Is this the xml?

Thank you for your time on this matter.

Bobby

I figured out how to install the product with the "manage products" in the admincp.

I have followed all of the other instuctions and am still having some small problems. When I change the number of columns to 3 I get the err below. If I change it back to 1 there are no problems with the home page but still no columns.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_forum_columns() in /home/httpd/vhosts/ftalife.com/httpdocs/includes/functions_forumlist.php on line 296

Any suggestions anyone?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

After running through it over and over I ran into another problem when deleting the product.

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE forum ADD subforumcolumns TINYINT(3) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'subforumcolumns'


I seen that Xenon told someone else to go to phpmyadmin and manually delete that table.

This brought a whole new task on to a noobie like me. So I had to learn how to install the phpmyadmin and it was tough to start.

Here is a good spot to learn about that.

I was still having problems downloading it correctly so instead of using their config.inc.php layout I used the (libraries/config.default.php) and just resaved it as config.inc.php in the main folder not in the libraries folder.
Also if you try to save it as config.inc in the save as it saves as config.php for some reason. So I had to "save as" name it config.inc.php then change the save as type to php.

Be sure to follow the instructions exactly. Also if you are new you should start with How To Install a vbulletin Hack: Guide to Newbies. Learned quite a bit there.

Thanks to Xenon and all of the other contributors!

After installing this hack in my company forum , my manager says "Thanks to the programmer of this hack, now we have a special look" , and he never think to go back to the old normal style

Thanks a bunch Xenon

Does anyone use this with vB3.6?
