Forums arranged in columns on forumhome

As requested several times, this hack allows you to arrange forums on forumhome in xx columns instead of just one per row as it is in standart vb3. It is a plain port of my 3.0 version you can find here.

Look at the screenshot to know what i mean :)

The design is changeable in the templates of course :)

I've tested it, and it should work, but as i don't use it myself, i cannot do a longtime test, so if you find any bugs, report them :)

Right now, it's just working on forumhome.
I'll add changes for forumdisplay later

First to thanks you for that hack!

My members still love you for that one ;)

Looks interesting, I might use this for a few chat forums; I suppose this only affects the category you select and not your whole forum?

Thank you so much :)

Hi,

I found two small typos within the filemodifications:

Code:

find:

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

                // Set Defaults;

                $forum = array(

                        'title' => '',

                        'description' => '',

                        'link' => '',

                        'displayorder' => 1,

                        'daysprune' => -1,

                        'parentid' => $vbulletin->GPC['parentid'],

                        'newthreademail' => '',

                        'newpostemail' => '',

                        'moderatenewpost' => 0,

                        'moderatenewthread' => 0,

                        'moderateattach' => 0,

                        'warnall' => 0,

                        'styleid' => '',

                        'styleoverride' => 0,

                        'password' => '',

                        'canhavepassword' => 1,

                        'cancontainthreads' => 1,

                        'active' => 1,

                        'allowposting' => 1,

                        'indexposts' => 1,

                        'allowhtml' => 0,

                        'allowbbcode' => 1,

                        'allowimages' => 1,

                        'allowsmilies' => 1,

                        'allowicons' => 1,

                        'allowratings' => 1,

                        'countposts' => 1,

                        'showonforumjump' => 1,

There is no comma after 'showonforumjump' => 1.

Code:

find:

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

$forumbits = construct_forum_bit($forumid);

Seems now to be:

Code:

$forumbits = construct_forum_bit($foruminfo['forumid']);

Regards,

Tobi

Thanks xenon. I'll install and report back ;)

To get rid of the index.php edit:

cache_templates

PHP Code:


		
			
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')

{

    $globaltemplates[] = ''forumhome_forumbit_columncell';

}

To get rid of the admincp/forum.php edits
forumadmin_add_default

PHP Code:


		
			
$forum['subforumcolumns'] = '1';

forumadmin_edit_form

PHP Code:


		
			
print_table_header($vbphrase['subforum_settings']);

print_input_row($vphrase['show_subforums_in_x_columns'], 'forum[subforumcolumns]', $forum['subforumcolumns']);

forumdata_start

PHP Code:


		
			
$this->validfields['subforumcolumns'] = array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO);

Hi,

seems to work great, but when I press on a categoryname to view only this categoeries forums I got a wrong table!

Picture is attached, seems like something in forumdisplay is wrong for me.

Tobi

@Cheertobi: i have not yet worked out the forumdisplay parts.

as sai i did not have enough time yet to code it in a way i would like it myself, and it's jsut released so the missing functionaly time could be reduced ;)
