Mr_P	10-30-2002 07:38 PM

ok i suzzed my prob out i added instead of replacing inside index.php so was down to User Error (cause of to many probs on vbull i bet :)

In index.php (root) find this :

PHP Code:


		
			
find:

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");



if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {

$forumbits. =makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumper

ms);

}

Now REPLACE this in index.php to this

PHP Code:


		
			
if(strstr(" ".$columnparent." ", " ".$forum['parentid']." ")) {

if($colsdone!=1) {

$colsdone=1;

$colcounter=1;

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("colforumtableheader")."\";");

} else {

$colcounter++;

if($colcounter%($forumcols+1)==0) {

$forumbits .= "</tr><tr>";

$colcounter=1;

}

}

$width="width=".(100/$forumcols)."%"; //take out if you want variable column widths

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("colforumbit")."\";");





} else {

if($colsdone==1) {

$colsdone=0;

$colcounter=0;

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("colforumtablefooter")."\";");

}



// eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

if(strstr(" ".$columnparent." ", " ".$forum['forumid']." ")) {

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_colbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

} else {

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

}



}



if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {

// $forumbits. =makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumper

ms);

}





if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {

$forumbits. =makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumper

ms);

}

} // END if can view

} // END while ( list($key2,$forum)=each($val1) ) {

} // END while ( list($key1,$val1)=each($iforumcache["$forumid"]) ) {

and now it works fine the bars have totally disappeared for me.

So if it dont work just go over tha hack again.If you installed the one that adds a GFX to the section recheck this as well.

Mr_P	10-30-2002 07:42 PM

ok i have re-add the install file for this hack as i have made a few template changes and it works Deffo.

just go over it and see whats different and tell me if it works for u.

thank you very much. works like a charm, and allows me a lot of freedom with the templates to modify as i need to.

thanks!

Consider yourself lucky first time one of my fixes has work :)

10-31-2002 10:05 AM

thanx, have to take a closer look at it. :)

N9ne	11-01-2002 07:27 PM

Xenon: Is there a quick fix for this:

I have this template mod installed: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...ghlight=header

It is the famous "add header cells under categories".

Now because of this it shows under the category for forums arranged in columns! I want to remove it from JUST that category, ie. all categories arranged in columns.

For Mr_P's code, do I just uninstall your hack [in index.php] and apply what he has done? And all is ok? Or do I actually need to create the extra templates he calls in his code?

Mr_P	11-01-2002 07:33 PM

Hmm i dont call in no extra templates m8,all the orginal coding is done by Xenon

all i did was edit some of them to suit me and get the effect i wanted.

You dont need to uninstall the hack

just look at instructions in the zip file its the same as Xenons but i have already added the extra bits needed so check them against the code you have and add as needed.

Only takes a few mins to do the full hack anyway.

Change the code in index.php

and then in the txt file u notice the templates you have to make have a bit differetn code in them.Just cut and paste over the template you already have.

N9ne	11-01-2002 08:02 PM

I can't cut and paste them because you have hardcoded colours, use a tbody tag, and have hardcoded widths :(

N9ne	11-01-2002 10:20 PM

bump.

Mr_P	11-02-2002 03:54 AM

Edit the code to suit your forums m8

N9ne	11-02-2002 08:08 AM

Is it possible for you to supply me the variables? I'm not quite sure what is what to be honest, and I say this because I like to keep the whole vB structure in tact, I'm a hater of hard coding :D

I'll see what I can do though, I might post up templates w/o the hard coding if I can ;)

Dean C

11-02-2002 08:33 AM

OK i fixed this for you N9ne..

This is my current templates:

colforumbit:

PHP Code:


		
			
    <td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top" $width align="left">

          <img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""> 

          <a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>

<br>

<smallfont>$forum[lastpostinfo]</smallfont>

    </td>

colforumtablefooter:

PHP Code:


		
			
</table>

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">

colforumtableheader:

PHP Code:


		
			
</table>

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">

Any news on gettin this hack to look at wildvibes.net and yaxay.com/yack?

N9ne	11-02-2002 09:15 AM

Erm, doing what Mr_P and mist said, it also removed the category name! The whole category bar just goes, and it's just the forums, having the category bar would be good ;)

N9ne	11-02-2002 09:18 AM

Also, this line in your code Mr_P:

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_colbit_level$depth$temp ext")."\";");

Is getting the template forumhome_colbit_level and whether it's level 1 or 2, and nopost or post...you said it doesn't call any extra templates?

N9ne	11-02-2002 09:21 AM

Ok nevermind nevermind, I've figured it all out now, some templates do have to be created...just create forumhome_colbit_level1_nopost and the same for level2, and use the same contents as the forumhome_forumbit templates, but don't add in the header cells ;)

it calls in the templates that are needed and they are the same ones as the orginal hack.

I posted code here only because a few wanted the bars removing and i gather you dont.The code is the zip is to completely remove the bars and the category name as these i did`nt want.

11-02-2002 08:01 PM

@ squawell - im trying to get it to look like that myself lol..

11-02-2002 08:31 PM

what part of that are u trying to recreate? i managed to get something like that on my test board.

Mr_P	11-02-2002 08:36 PM

ok i must be missing some thing here

Lesanes site is one cracker of a coded site and fair dues to him.
But what are u after ?

do u want the four sections with the GFX in ?

or is it you want the bar to show as well as the GFX sections.

I fyou want the GFX then load the addon to this hack which allows you to specify a logo for each section.
You dont specify one for any other section except for the one u gonna be using for the Columns.

Then u take the code when its done and mess with it in Dreamweaver and tweak it to its to your liking.

Mr_P	11-02-2002 08:38 PM

Infact tell me what u want and ill do a step by step guide to doing it if possible ?

11-03-2002 11:16 AM

Well i have the category icons hack installed so the images for the forums will work fine..

I need to get my forum columsn working like they are at Lesane's site..

With the category images (i have that working so the variable to use to insert the image is: $ficonimg)

So basically i need the forum columns looking like they do at Lesane's site :)

They do appear like that but you got to remember Lesane Has done extra coding on his to get that effect.Must admit i like his myself.

Minifreunde,would`nt you be better off posting the change instead of asking for pms.This way new people to this post get to see all the changes made.

Okay, I have got this working pretty much I think. I will try and post what I did, but since it involved playing around with it some, I might need to revise if some of you try it. I'm not a coder, so it might need cleaned up. I don't think anything here is new - I just started trying what other people were saying. Oh, this is for removing the Forums, Posts etc. stuff but still having the category title.

1) First I installed the original hack.

2) Then I downloaded Mr P's zip file on page 9 of this thread. I substituted his code for the second change to the index.php file.

3) I played around with my templates. Zip is attached, but I think I mostly cleared them out lol. There are very probably some extra nested tables in there. I also added two templates which I think someone mentioned doing but I couldn't find the post again to say exactly who so I'm sorry. I basically took the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and level2_nopost and renamed them, then took out all the code for the Forum, Posts, Threads etc. I renamed them forumhome_nohead_level1_nopost and level2_nopost

4) Then I went back into Mr. P's code in index.php and in:

Code:

if(strstr(" ".$columnparent." ", " ".$forum['forumid']." ")) {

  eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_colbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

I substituted 'nohead' for 'colbit'

Two things: I have the template mods for seperating the categories on the forumhome installed, and I seem to have an extra line below my category header. Probably because I have that template mod that puts a decorative line there. So if anyone can figure out how to remove that that would be good. :)

Jacko please change your sig, your image is over the limits of 300 pixels wide and 20k bytes large.

also you are just allowed to have an image OR text in it, not both

Sadie Frost

12-14-2002 11:02 PM

I'm sorry, I don't understand the problem or I would try and help :)

N9ne	12-15-2002 01:08 AM

Xenon: I just realised something, I don't think you added the extra templates to the templatesused variable ;).

Xenon

12-15-2002 11:51 AM

didn't i?

yes, most of the time i forgott about it, when posting a hack ;)

12-28-2002 12:55 PM

did anyone PM Minifreunde and get the one he did similar to lesane version? I dont know if he still around because I PM'ed him for it.

01-03-2003 07:30 AM

Ok, maybe I'm just missing something but I believe I have this hack installed correctly on a 2.2.9 board and it is simply not showing up for me. I did the queries, added the templates and made the mods to the index.php and I'm coming up with nothing.

Can someone please post a screenshot of (Forum Home Options)how you chose the parent column and then it's sub forums? I believe this is the area that I am getting stuck on.

Thanks

Tes

You choose the category ID and then specify how many columns you want
