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:

PHP Code:


		
			
$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)

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

thx for this nice hack

Thanks again. This makes navigation so much simpler!

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.

Does anybody know, if this still works with 2.2.0?

Regards,
h4p3

Sorry, but this hack generates too much queries.

most likely

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).

That is rocks hack !! thanks !

Look for this code ...

PHP Code:


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

and replace it with this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forum['description'] .= "<hr><B><font color=\"#FE1B01\">Sub-Forums:</font></B> ";

This hack doesn't work with forums that are under moderation (posts have to be validated). Is there a fix to this somewhere?UPDATED: FIXED

?0.02

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

Features added :
- Bold on new messages
- custom forum type
- variable number of columns to display per parents children

added 2 fields to forum table showas and numcols
this is the index.php version. For the forumdisplay.php
there is some stuff to comment out ( or in) dependeing on your requirements (sorts out spacing before and after subforum lists)

See it in action at www.mainframeforum.com

here is the code, I do not support it, have fun .....

PHP Code:

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?

cool hack and is very easy to install

Works like a charm, thx for the great hack!

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

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).

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:

NO offence but this hack sucks,

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

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

However, you can easily optimize it.

I deleted this portion:

PHP Code:


		
			
$permission=$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.

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!

amazing work on this code
thx alot :P

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 :

PHP Code:


		
			
// 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.

This is totally cool! Thank you! :-D

why can't I access that link?

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

If you are a registered member and a vBulletin customer, please add your username to this form to be able to access certain resticted areas on this site!

You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.

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

Can it be done?

Very kewl, was looking for this!!!

Great hack, have had it installed for awhile.

But how come it doesn't show up in the hack database?

Works great, thank you :)

GRRR can't access the link and I AM registered on vbulletin.com with their support. :disappointed: :disappointed:

Use this link - that link is wrong as it's old:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...d=173883&t=272

nice hack
/me clicks install

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. :)

Anyone tested this on 2.2.9 yet? I had it working on earlier versions, but when when I add the code I get errors. :(

Weird, I just did it again and it worked fine.

Uhh...SWEET! :D

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

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...
