There are currently two settings which affect the display of forum levels, but none of them affects the forumjump box. This hack will add a third option to the Admin control panel, with the role of taking care of the forumjump box depth level.

Highly useful for board with a lot of child forums! Without this hack, all forums are displayed in the forumjump box, thus reducing its effectiveness and attractiveness.

Please post your opinions on this hack, and whether you like it or not. I was discouraged when no one installed my last hack, and it might determine whether I keep releasing hacks in the future...

Thank you!

What's new in version 1.1?
When moving a thread, the target forums list should contain all the forums. This has been fixed in this version. If you have already installed the first version, read the instructions on post #10 in this thread. Otherwise, the attached files are already updated.

Very good idea, Tommy.

I don't have many forums and I only have one level of forums to begin with, so this hack won't be of use to me. But I know there are many here who could really use it.

Please don't be discouraged. We all learn as we go along. Your previous hack had a very good idea but a problematic installation which might have deterred people. But you got the potential of being a great asset to us all. I'd hate to see you stop releasing.

I might be able to use this. I am debating on whether or not to add Usenet Groups. If I do, it would increase my forum depth to 4 levels counting categories. That will be way too much to show on the forumjump box.

This could come in handy, thanks for it. I downloaded it and will click the install button if I get that far.

great idea...I have over 190 forums and they do not need to all be in the forumjump.

Good job! This will save on bandwidth and maybe a little on server resources as well.

How can I make this work in 2.0.3?

Please let me know as it would be huge for my forums. HUGE! :)

I don't see the scripts "Showgroups.php" in my 2.0.3 and this is a must have for my forums.

ok trying now

To update from version 1.0 to 1.1, do this:

Open postings.php, look for:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
global $hideprivateforums,$bbuserinfo,$session, $useforumjump;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Replace with:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
global $hideprivateforums,$bbuserinfo,$session, $useforumjump,$forumjumpdepth;

// Forumjump Depth Hack
$oldforumjumpdepth = $forumjumpdepth;
$forumjumpdepth = 1000;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still in postings.php, look for:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$useforumjump=$olduseforumjump;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After it, add:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$forumjumpdepth=$oldforumjumpdepth; // Forumjump Depth Hack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The attached file in the first post has already been updated.
