vb.org Archive - Forums arranged in columns on forumhome

I had a go at this and your nice SQL syntax highlighting and failed at both.

I tried to use the new function construct_forum_bit and change it to suite with no luck:

PHP Code:


		
			


// ###################### Start construct_forum_columns #######################

function construct_forum_columns($parentid, $columncount)

{

    global $vbulletin, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $show;

    global $imodcache, $lastpostarray, $counters, $inforum;



    if ($columncount == 0)

    {

        // 0 Columns means don't show subforums at all

        return '';

    }





    // this function takes the constant MAXFORUMDEPTH as its guide for how

    // deep to recurse down forum lists. if MAXFORUMDEPTH is not defined,

    // it will assume a depth of 2.



    // call fetch_last_post_array() first to get last post info for forums

    if (!is_array($lastpostarray))

    {

        fetch_last_post_array();

    }



    if (empty($vbulletin->iforumcache["$parentid"]))

    {

        return;

    }



    if (!defined(MAXFORUMDEPTH))

    {

        define('MAXFORUMDEPTH', 1);

    }



    $forumbits = '';

    $depth++;



    foreach ($vbulletin->iforumcache["$parentid"] AS $forumid)

    {

        // grab the appropriate forum from the $vbulletin->forumcache

Maybe you can use this in some way, I understand you?re busy :)
