Magic. Fixed.

Looks like we're all set now. Very nice hack. We have a ton of forums and this makes it much easier for users to navigate.

Thank you very much from the time and effort to help a passing stranger in the night. Keep up the good work.

i've installed this hack without any problems at all, and then i installed the 'seperate categories' from the 'design and tweak your frontpage'. it installed fine as well, however now, my collapsed catergories also has the additional tablerow which has forum / posts/ threads/ last post/ moderator.
(see attached image)

would you happen to know what i can do to get rid of this tablerow? i liked it better the other way where you only see the category table.

if you need to see any of the template code, let me know.

thanks.

The "template_option.txt" file included in the main zip contains rough details of the changes you need to make.

Removed this from my board. It's a fab hack, I just have no real use for it.

thanks dabean... will sift through it then.

*edit*
finally got it! lol. thanks for all the help bud! i love this hack btw.

Sho	09-04-2002 06:56 AM

dabean, there's a hack by bira that lets you contract and expand postings in a thread, but it doesn't work with Gecko or Konqueror. Maybe you could help us with your own version?

Hi !
Thanks for your hack ! It is really neat !
But I have a little problem :)
The hack itself works fine, so far ... the only problem i have: the user settings are not stored ... so yeah ...
Could you please take a look ?

Tested Mozilla 1.1 and IE6 winxp can't replicate on supplied url. Are you waiting a few seconds between each click, whilst the status is updated in the background?

Yes I know this is a pain but until ms fix a few problems with IE there is no way I can offer a reliable "status" message saying when your setting has been saved.

I have installed this hack. Great hack I gotta say but I am running into a problem with it.. I have 3 levels of forums. When they are all expanded it looks fine.. but once I collapse all of the 3 deep forums, my 1/2 deep forums lose the cellspacing information on half the table..

For example.. Here is how it looks normally:

http://www.visionappraisal.com/image...m/expanded.jpg

and this is how it looks when I collapse the 3 deep forum:

http://www.visionappraisal.com/image.../collapsed.jpg

You notice the cellspacing missing? It is like that for any 1/2 deep forums. But once I open a 3 deep forum it looks normal. Is this something with the Hack or did I mess up a template somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated..

phpinfo: v 4.4.2
mysql: v3.23.52

P.S. The forums are running on a local network not accessable to the internet for the time being while we wait for our new web server, so the forums cannot be accessed. If you need template information, please let me know and I will post it.

You can disregard my previous post. I restored my default templates and re applied the hack and my other changes.. it seemed to fixed it.

So what's the status of this hack? Is it reliable? Sounds great, but want to make sure I'm not heading for problems.

Unfortunately this hack doesn't work. Installed it, but all it does is give me working + & - signs that don't actually collapse the forums. Oh well.

and this doesn't make any sense whatsoever:

template: forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
find the template you added the the Forum Posts Threads Last Post Moderator repeats per forum to and alter
<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="

to read
<tr id="f$forum[forumid]z" $fhomeexpandstyle align="center">
<td bgcolor="

That section of template is from the "template_option" addition which is completely optional infact the fragment won't exist unless you a specific template mod.

Coming back to"it doesn't work". What exactly doesn't work? and in what browser?

Firstly check that "$expandcontractscript" exists within the "forumhome" template. Secondly check the "forumhome_expandjscript" template exists within your current style. Details of both items can be found in the readme.

You can check it out if you'd like. I think I did everything correct.

I installed this hack, you can view it at http://dynamic5.gamespy.com/~ac2hq/forum/ and pick the Mithantest style from the front page (you dont need to register).

Im using Internet Explorer 6.0, but the settings will not save, so everytime I enter a forum and leave, its reset back to the expanded view, which makes it pretty much useless for me.

Now, is this the problem that IE users have? And is there any possible fix that will make it save? I have read this thread, but it has gotten so large...

Thanks.

updateindex.php needs to be in your forum's home directory.. e.g. http://dynamic5.gamespy.com/~ac2hq/forum/

The updateindex file is responsible for saving the collapsed/expanded state.

YES! Just installed it yesterday after doing a PHP upgrade on the server. Worked like a charm without a hitch!

Surprised myself . . . only been playing with vBulletin for a few days and this was my first hack!!! The instructions are excellent. If you read them carefully, you shouldn't have a problem. Thanks to dabean for providing it!

Does the "[vB v2.2.7] Collapsable forums on forum home" hack also work on the 2.2.6 version - cause I don't wanna update my 2.2.6 until v3 is released. THANX :-)

would be nice if it memorized what forums you had minimized and all. So if you never really read those forums on a certain site, it'd just automatically minizmize them each visit or somethin =\

Uh - it does memorize which forums you have minimized and which one you have maximized. You just have to be a registered member of the site. The settings for each member is saved in the database. Guests do not have this capacity because of this.

After further invistation my index.php is not corrupted and it seems to be having problems with this block of code.

PHP Code:


		
			
// expand collapse hack

if ($BrowserDOM==True) {

__if ((!isset($z)) or ($depth==1)) {

____$z=0;

__} else {

____$z++;

__}

__// get state of collapse

__if ($forum[parentid]==-1) {

___$collapsedstate=$forum['collapsed'];

__}

__// auto collapse forums based on forum setting

__if ($collapsedstate==1) {

___$fhomeexpandstyle="style=\"visibility:hidden; display:none;\"";

__} else {

___$fhomeexpandstyle="";

__}

__// auto collapse forums for user

__if (getViewSetting($forum['parentid'])==1) {

___$fhomeexpandstyle="style=\"visibility:hidden; display:none;\"";

__} elseif (getViewSetting($forum['parentid'])==2) {

___$fhomeexpandstyle="";

__}

__// display correct item (this can not be simplified into the block above

__// due to CSS2 defining special display values for tables, eg display:table-row;)

if ($collapsedstate==1) {

___$divexpand = "display: inline;visibility: visible;";

___$divcollapse = "display: none;visibility: hidden;";

} else {

___$divexpand = "display: none;visibility: hidden;";

___$divcollapse = "display: inline;visibility: visible;";

}

if (getViewSetting($forum['forumid'])==1) {

___$divexpand = "display: inline;visibility: visible;";

___$divcollapse = "display: none;visibility: hidden;";

__} elseif (getViewSetting($forum['forumid'])==2) {

___$divexpand = "display: none;visibility: hidden;";

___$divcollapse = "display: inline;visibility: visible;";

__}

__eval("\$expandcontract = \"".gettemplate("forumhome_expandcontract")."\";");

}

// end expand collapse hack

The line it says it has a problem with is

PHP Code:


		
			
if ((!isset($z)) or ($depth==1)) {

I just recentally upgraded to version 2.3.0 of vbulletin but with what they said they changed this shouldn't be the problem.

How do I uninstall this? For example, I have backups of the two php files and I can remove the addded templates(and remove the edits to the other templatews), however, because I ran the cx_install.php file to add to my database, do i need to run a command to remove the stuff that was added?

Edit: Also, does this add any queries? Does it have the potential to slow down the loading times at all? just curious.
