I ran into this same problem on my website. The first level of sub-forums was correct, but I also have sub-forums on my 2nd level and they didn't work correctly here.

I changed the <td width=50%> to <td width=200> instead and it works everywhere.

Using depth settings of 2,1,1.

(I've since changed to a depth of 2,2,1 so it wouldn't matter anymore)

does this work with vb 3.03?

It's working for me on 3.03

Sweet hack. this is what i've been looking for. I love it. 1 request.

Is it possible to make it so that each sub forum display differen't image? like different picture. possible? if so how do i do it?

Excellent thanks :)

Execellant work tamarian

i like the way sub-forums are displayed using this hack :)
Can you also tell me how to change the forums -> under categories to get displayed like same changing some bits of this hack ?

Regards,

/me installs

Great Mod. Works great on our 3.03 board. Thanks!

does this hack give an option for users to disable it if they dont like it?

Hello:)

Can we remove the word : "Sub-Forums:" ?

See an example here: http://www.gamers.gr/board/index.php? (its says sub-forums !)

Thnx in advance :)

This hack should work in 3.0.4? i tried but not working...!

I'm not sure, I have not installed 3.0.4 yet and may take me a while. Hopefully someone else can tell us if there are any needed changes.

Working for me :D

With 3.0.5 ?:D

I just prepare my board to go there, anybody test it?

Just to report, its working ok to 3.0.6 also:)

Those of you who like to have valid XHTML should replace:

with:

when editing functions_forumlist.php

The previous method can cause 100's of XHTML errors if you have large forums.

Nice catch. Original updated.

tamarian, you added the fix before I changed it again, my previous post was edited for the correct syntax as although the other method I posted worked, the one showing now is the correct way to do it :)

Sorry to mess you about :)

Can someone tell what u gain with this last addon?:)

No problem, re-applied.

It's just more XHTML standard compliant. No need to worry about if you don't want to change it, you'll be fine.

tamarian I'm still getting a couple of errors on the XHTML compliance test, I've managed to track it back to this column hack.

"end tag for "tr" which is not finished"

Any ideas?

It seems to be something to do with having uneven numbered subforums as I get two occurences of this and have 2 lots of uneven numbered subforums.

Try this:

Instead of this:

This should add an empty cell to odd numbered sub-forums.

Let me know if it passes, and I'll add it to the original.

Exactly same error, no change at all :(

Wouldn't it need to be inside the foreach loop?

No, it's only for the last subforum for each parent forum. If the last sub-forum is odd, it adds an empty cell to complete the TR.

Why not post the errors, and someone might spot it for us.

I can't validate my own main page, since I'm sure it will stop the validation too early due to too many XHTML errors :)

Line 279, column 493: end tag for "tr" which is not finished

Most likely, You nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element (e.g. 'ul') which requires a child element (e.g. 'li') that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete

Thats the complete error, notice that the <tr> is still immediately terminated, there is no blank cell in there.

I'm pretty sure it's not the odd number of columns causing this now, it seems as if it's related to some subforums having subforums of their own.

Doesn't work on 3.0.6

Yes it does. I have 3.0.6 on my site with this hack and it works fine. Check your install if it isn't working.

Is there a way to have the icon for the subforums to change color if there is a new post within that specific subforum, or some other indication of a new post?

I'm going to install it when I get home tonight but this would be kinda cool if it is possible. If not, still a great hack.

It will do that by default, using the subforum status icons.

Alright... thats cool. I'll install it tonight at home. Thanks for the quick reply.

Installed and it's doing great. Thanks for it.

hack screws the 3 colums displayed, works proper with 2 colums of sub-forums

clicked install - no problems with 3.0.7

Works perfect, thanks!

This works great! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a more professional looking setup for their VBulletin forum.
