[AN-net]

well i was analyzing that article before and its very confusing. i was wondering which is easier/better to do that way or vb's.

also i was look at vb's code:

PHP Code:

    $iforumcache = array();

    if ($getinvisibles) // get all forums including invisibles
    {
        foreach($forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
        {
            $iforumcache["$forum[parentid]"]["$forum[displayorder]"]["$forumid"] = $forumid;
        }
    }
    else // get all forums except invisibles
    {
        foreach($forumcache AS $forumid => $forum)
        {
            if ($forum['displayorder'] AND ($forum['options'] & $_FORUMOPTIONS['active']))
            {
                $iforumcache["$forum[parentid]"]["$forum[displayorder]"]["$forumid"] = $forumid;
            }
            else
            {
                unset($forumcache["$forumid"]);
            }
        }
    }
    // do some sorting (instead of sorting with MySQL and causing a filesort)
    foreach($iforumcache AS $parentid => $devnull)
    {
        ksort($iforumcache["$parentid"]); // sort by display order
    }
    ksort($iforumcache); // sort by parentid (not actually sure if this is necessary) 


i have never used ksort but ill assume its sorting it by parentid first then display?

also is childlist used at all in actually building the forum list/index?
