thnx man

very nicely done, but i'd like a break <br> after each forum category...so their not all bunched together.

Maybe there's a newer version of this somewhere ?

also, i'd like my forum categories to be displayed in vbSEO format...clean URLs.. (like the rest of my forums are) not the default .php way.

any quick fix on this is much appreciated.

nevermind, fixed with the following -

Quote:

ob_start();
$excluded = "1,2,3";
$forum_get = vB::$db->query_read("
SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."forum
WHERE forumid NOT IN ($excluded) ORDER by forumid");
$output_bits = '';
while($forum = vB::$db->fetch_array($forum_get))
{
$output_bits .= '<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/forum'.$forum[forumid].'" style="text-decoration: none">'.$forum[title].'</a>
<br /> ';
}
$output = $output_bits;
ob_end_clean();

replace mydomain.com with your domain name. This will make it so that you're URL's are seo'd as long as u have vbSEO installed.

This still seems to work great on 4.2.2pl1 too.

I have been looking for something like this to add to my Contributors page BUT I reckon I can use the whole listing in a Social page I'm building.

What I love about it is that I can disclude all but the news input forums that have my rss feeds and current news Blocks in the CMS.

A bit of css and this would be cool, love to have top categories stand out some how and maybe be able to choose usergroups that can use it or it appears for.

Great way to get your forums up front if a publisher.:up:

Thanks for sharing. :)
