LIVE DEMO

Nevermind...

One of the previous ones of these didnt work on several styles, so would this work on most?

is this the same thing as this?

Bad Joke. :(

This subject a lot of discuss. I Don't want to extend. But bad one fun.

No, it's not.

I tried that one before but it's pretty limited and there is a problem with commas in sub-forum's titles. If you wish to use that hack you must remove all commas from sub-forums titles. This bug was reported in original thread but never fixed.

looking niceeeeeee

Just installed, piece of cake. Thanks!

(Clicks install)

This still doesn't work with my style.

Clicks uninstall.

haha i was the one who reported it XD.... ok i guess i can giv this one a shot

very nice
can you do this but to the category and the forums' i mean that the category and forums will be in colums like here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=108893

cyb_subforum_arranger template need to be cached :)

Doesn't work for me, too.

Done, thanks ;)

Please all upgrade to v1.2 (import XML, allow overwrite).

I didn't tried it with other styles and I guess it will not work on some of them because authors removed references which this plugin uses. Sorry, this is impossible to make that work with all styles.

Excellent!

Can you give us some idea of why this doesn't work? I don't mind making changes to a template to support this, I just need to know where to look.

Thanks!

Is there any way to show a new post indicator on the forum homepage when new posts have been made?

This is not the right place to ask



What happens to the rest of the sub-forums below 1 level? Are they being shown with this hack?
Thank you.

Works fine for me! INSTALLED

it looks like mine is doing that already (it shows a gold, or a blue icon next to each sub-forum).

That has to be the easiest freakin thing I have ever installed LOL WTG!! Thank you so much! :banana:

propz...installed...

how do i remove "," comas ?

I didn't even notice the comma's until now lol

Does not for work me either. Bummer as I would love to be able to use this. Which variables does this hack use so those of us with custom templates can add them back to our templates?

Check if you have these two templates with "," in them:
forumhome_subforumseparator_post
forumhome_subforumseparator_nopost

If you wish you can manually replace comma with this:
, <if condition="$vboptions['cybsubforumarranger_enable']">Cybernetec</if>

Thanks for this.

A small item...When this hack is installed the sub-forum font size gets slightly bigger. The sub-forum links should be surrounded by <div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:6px"> but I think the tables your hack adds loses that info. Is there a quick way to add that back?

Thats a good hack, and a lot easier than the other methods which are far more involved.

I am also as inquisitive.

I would allso be interested in reducing the type size.

Same here. Font size :tired:

v1.3 - May 30. 2006.
-Added ability to use original font size for subforums titles (requested)

See updated ACP screenshot.

Cybernetec, could you please tell me how to take out the comma at the end of each subforum title?...It is an awesome hack but the little white comma is clashing with my sub forum titles...I think it would be nicer without it...Thank you for your help in advance. Be well -

Lady Divus

Good question, I would like to know as well :D
Thanks for the hard work!

v1.4 - May 30. 2006.
-Added ability to hide commas (shown after every subforum title except the last one) - requested

Note: If upgrading from version 1.3 or older please uninstall existing version first!

Cybernetec, thank you for the new Update, however, it didnt take out all the commas, only the last comma, but i figured out how to take them all out.

I went into,
AdminCP/Styles & Templates/Cybernetec Templates/cyb_subforum_arranger
And simply back spaced off the little comma (,) at the very beginning of the string. That worked for me if anyone else needs to know.

Again, thank you so very much Cybernetec for this hack. It is one of my favorites...Be well -

Lady Divus

It was just wrong phrase in options. "hide" instead of "show" LOL
Please revert template and install v1.5 with correct phrase. I also maked some improvements in the main code.

v1.5 - May 30. 2006.
-Fixed little bugs (phrase, variable)

Ummm...Cyber I think you got your hack updates mixed up. :) The zip I see for this hack is titled, "Cyb Prevent Newbies from Posting to Wrong Forum 1.5.zip"

Wrong hack indeed :surprised:

You are right LOL

Changed.

Sorry, I'm little tired.
