Forums arranged in columns on forumhome + Extra Future

In this hack i just add some extra Future. It was made by Xenon

When we install Forums arranged in columns on forumhome it just show the main Thread name and few people ask me how i customise on my site and show last post and then other forum info. with it..

well it's simple 1st install this hack..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99829

And then login in ur admincp

SKins > Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_columncell

Look For <div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

Add This After that

Quote:

<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']"><BR>
<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]">
<div style="clear:both">
    Last Post: <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" title="<phrase 1="$lastpostinfo[lastthread]">$vbphrase[go_first_unread_in_thread_x]</phrase>"><strong>$lastpostinfo[trimthread]</strong></a>
</div>
<div<if condition="is_browser('ie', 6)"> style="float:$stylevar[left]"</if>>
    Posted <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>

-$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">-<span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if></div><BR>
    Forum Info: Topic: $forum[threadcount]
Post: $forum[replycount]
</if>

and save it... it will work for sure

If u want to add Image next to Topic then add that in discription of forum...

This is my 1 hack and i really don't know how to post he hack so i m just doing w.e i can to help other members...

Use <br /> instead od <br>.

Use $vbphrase[phrasename] instead of typing text inside templates.

There are all standard phrases for what you typed.

i needed a better layout :) this did it for me

AKapadia

05-30-2006 05:25 PM

nice work with it :) awesome graphics

Bernd

05-30-2006 08:17 PM

is it possible to disable\enable this per forum category?

I would like to use this layout for specific forums only.

Mr Chad

05-30-2006 10:00 PM

actually you can do more than that, you can turn it on in one forum for 2 columns and another forum for 3 columns, and another one could just be normal :).

I love it, im going to be working on it a lil more to see what i can come up with.

What i really want is to display the sub-fourms

Mr Chad

05-30-2006 10:04 PM

A better way to display images is to use an if condition:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 1"></if>

Mr Chad

05-31-2006 01:07 AM

heres an update of what i got so far, http://site.net/forums/

Bernd

05-31-2006 07:55 AM

I have added an url of an image in the forum description, but the image does not show up. How exactly do you add an image to a forum?

Bernd

05-31-2006 01:54 PM

Well, tried as suggested. The image is still not showing up. See attachment for details. Don't even get a red x

Mr Chad

06-02-2006 09:11 PM

What i want to do is make the whole box glow, (by changing the images) if there has been any new threads/posts.

HTML Code:

        <if condition="$forum[statusicon] == old OR lock">

        <!-- normal look -->

        </if>

        <if condition="$forum[statusicon] == new">

        <!-- glowing boarder :) -->

        </if>

Moved this to template modifications since there are no actual file changes for this specific mod.

06-06-2006 03:04 PM

Chad how did you get the subforum text list show ? :)

What youve done is just what i need as i have lots of sub-forums.

a

HTML Code:

        <if condition="$forum[statusicon] == old OR lock">

        <!-- normal look -->

        </if>

        <if condition="$forum[statusicon] == new">

        <!-- glowing boarder :) -->

        </if>

easy, just put the regular code in first if and then dont have the second if just change it to <else /> and put the glow of the code closing it with an </if>

or like this

Code:

        <if condition="$forum[statusicon] == new">

glow td here

<else />

old td here

</if>

Code:

then add this new function to the file:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

function construct_forum_columns($parentid, $columncount)

{

i assumed this meant right after you make the other changes, but when i do that, i get an error.......

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_forum_columns() in /home/knockout/public_html/board/includes/functions_forumlist.php on line 296

what am i doing wrong?

I assume you're referring to Xenon's instructions. The instructions are bit sloppy - they don't specify where the user should put the function, and for non-coders that can be incredibly confusing.

The best thing to do is put that new function at the very end of the file, right before the closing PHP tag ( ?> ).

I don't have a "forumhome_forumbit_columncell" template.
I'm running VB ver 3.5.4 and Cyb - Sub-forums Arranger, found here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=113942

I used this code in my "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" with excellent results. You can check it out here www.srtcaliber.com.
just another way to use this code for those who don't have the "forumhome_forumbit_columncell" template.

Thanks for the code!

Nice add on. Is there anyway I can show five latest threads under each forum instead of showing only the last replied thread ?
