Any ideas on what I did wrong?

You dind't upload the "threadcategory.php" file or put it in a sub-folder when it should be in the forum root.

Well, that worked like a charm!

After getting a feel for how this works, it's led to another request.

Would it be or is it possible to have the search ognore all other parameters other than "catagory"? It would be really nice to allow members to just choose a cataegory and have the search engine list all threads under that particular category independant of author, title, etc.

I repeat my question again, Mystics, sorry about nagging. That thing just bugs me the whole time. I've liturally spent hours trying to find where can decrease the width of the dropdown menu in any forum. The screenshot is there: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=18043

Notice how the All Categories dropdown menu is a little bit narrower than the others? Where can I adjust it? The closes i've come is the bit in FORUMDISPLAY template:

Code:

<td class="smallfont">$vbphrase[threadcategory]:</td>

                        <td>$threadcategories</td>

I guess the $threadcategories is what i am looking for, but where can i adjust the width of the dropdown menu?

I've tried everything, even crazy stuff like

Code:

                        <td>$threadcategories</td>



                        <td><select name="threadcategories" style="width:125px">



<option>$threadcategories</option>



                        </select></td>

still doesn't work. It seems to me that since $threadcategories array is dynamic, it cannot be used with <option> and <select> tags. If so, then whe??where does the script know, how wide is the dropdown menu going to be?

Many thanks for the hack, waiting for a reply.

Call me silly, but I couldn't find the "Install" link to click on.

Code:

function fetch_thread_categories($foruminfo, $selcat = '', $empty = 1, $showall = '', $categoryarray = array(), $selectwidth = '')

So you may change forumdisplay.php:

Code:

$threadcategories = fetch_thread_categories($foruminfo, urldecode($_REQUEST['threadcategory']), 0, $vbphrase['all_categories']);

to:

Code:

$threadcategories = fetch_thread_categories($foruminfo, urldecode($_REQUEST['threadcategory']), 0, $vbphrase['all_categories'], array(), '125px');

The menu is as wide as the longest entry needs place.

Hi Mystics,

that seems to be a very great hack. Is it working with 3.0.1 aswell?
