vb.org Archive - Forum Display Enhancements - Thread Listing by Letter with ABC Navigation Menu

Well it has been a long time so now i got back. I know the last rely is way back but this is just for extra info considering i still support this mod.

If you really want to add pages 1 t/m 8 whatso ever for letter just edit forumdisplay.php

FIND:

PHP Code:


		
			
        $pagenav = construct_page_nav($pagenumber, $perpage, $totalthreads, 'forumdisplay.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "f=$forumid", ""

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['perpage']) ? "&amp;pp=$perpage" : '')

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['prefixid']) ? "&amp;prefixid=" . $vbulletin->GPC['prefixid'] : '')

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['sortfield']) ? "&amp;sort=$sortfield" : "")

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['sortorder']) ? "&amp;order=" . $vbulletin->GPC['sortorder'] : '')

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['daysprune']) ? "&amp;daysprune=$daysprune" : '')

        );

ADD Below:

PHP Code:


		
			
        // Thread listing by letter + page

        $vbulletin->input->clean_GPC('r', 'letter', 'TYPE_STR');   

        $letter = $db->escape_string($vbulletin->GPC['letter']); 

        $pagenav2 = construct_page_nav($pagenumber, $perpage, $totalthreads, 'forumdisplay.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "f=$forumid", ""

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['perpage'])     ? "&amp;pp=$perpage" : '')

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['prefixid'])     ? "&amp;prefixid=" . $vbulletin->GPC['prefixid'] : '')

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['sortfield']) ? "&amp;sort=$sortfield" : "")

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['sortorder']) ? "&amp;order=" . $vbulletin->GPC['sortorder'] : '')

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['letter'])     ? "&amp;letter=" . $vbulletin->GPC['letter'] : '') // Letter

            . (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['daysprune']) ? "&amp;daysprune=$daysprune" : '')

        );

The point is you just create another pagenavigation namely "$pagenav2".
It's not perfect, but it just works so no complains or just add something usefull instead like other members.

2. The next thing to do is add $pagenav2 to your forum.
open the template FORUMDISPLAY in vbulletin.
FIND:

Code:



<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">

<tr valign="bottom">

        <td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>

        <if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>

</tr>

</table>

REPLACE:

Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">

<tr valign="bottom">

        <td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td><if condition="$pagenav2"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav2</td></if>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

        <if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>

</tr>

</table>

Done! and test
If you don't like the location well... it's basic HTML so don't bother.
I am still working on this. when i have extra info i will share it for those who like it.
