Sub-Forums

I updated the hack a little so it looks nice.

Added:

Display order, so it orders the sub-forums the way they are listed in your admin CP.

Added an hr.

Thats it it!

if you watn the HR to look good add this into your
"Custom replacements"

hr is replaced by <hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor }"

{ tablebordercolor } - dont forget to remove the spaces "{ }

that is it!

NO offence but this hack sucks,

Everyone so that your aware, it adds a query for every subforum that you have, so watch out!

[tamarian]

Yes, if you have many subforums, this hack can be very expensive (100+ queries).

However, you can easily optimize it.

I deleted this portion:

PHP Code:

$permission=$DB_site->query_first("select accessmask from access where userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND forumid = $forum_child[forumid]"); 
if ($permission['acessmask'] != 0 || $permission['accessmask'] == null) 
{ 


And the matching "}"

This will reduce the queries to only the number of main forums you have (mine went down from 130 to 40)

Warning To use this optimization, make sure you have no hidden/private sub-forums that reside under public forums.

PLEASE HELP! URGENT!

After installing the hack I get this error:

Parse error: parse error in /var/www/html/forumdisplay.php on line 401

These are what the lines read:

400 - $limitlower=($pagenumber-1)*$perpage+1;
401 - $limitupper=($pagenumber)*$perp

and 401 is the last line on mine, what's wrong?

PLEASE HELP, IT'S VERY URGENT!

I link soo much this hacks !

I'have a request. It works on vb 2.2.5. I install it and it looks : screenshot at the end of the post.

I'll try to made a better design of this by remplacing the code of the hack by this on forumdisplay.php :

PHP Code:

// ADDED BY ERK 
if ($forum[cancontainthreads]!=0) 
{ 

$subforums=$DB_site->query("select title,forumid from forum where parentid = $forum[forumid] and active != 0 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder"); 
if ($DB_site->num_rows($subforums)>0) 
{ 
$forum['description'] .= "<hr><B>Sous-forums:</B> "; 
} 
$i = 0; 
while ($forum_child=$DB_site->fetch_array($subforums)) 
{ 
$i++; 
$permission=$DB_site->query_first("select accessmask from access where userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] AND forumid = $forum_child[forumid]"); 
if ($permission['acessmask'] != 0 || $permission['accessmask'] == null) 
{ 
$subs.="<a href="forumdisplay.php?forumid=$forum_child[forumid]&s=$session[sessionhash]"><li>$forum_child[title]</li></a>"; 
if ($i < $DB_site->num_rows($subforums)) 
{ 
$subs.=""; 
} 
} 
} 
$DB_site->free_result($subforums); 
$forum_child=null; 
$forum['description'].= $subs; 
$subs=null; 
} 
// END ADDED 


But now...I have a big request :

I wanted to make the button at the left of the name of the sub-forum as an indicator gif button such as the same of when there is a new message on the forums. To know witch sub-forum as new messages...

Do you understand my request ? I'm sorry for my english...

Thank you.

[FCorner]

"Very nice hack

But I think there's a little glitch if a subforum has subforums.
The subforums of subforum are displayed this way

subforum
subforums: x, y
x
y

Is there a way to prevent it?"

Yea I have the same question/problem. If there is a way to NOT show the sub-forums under the hacked sub-forums when you're in the thread, this would be perfect.

Can it be done?

[Massiel]

Very kewl, was looking for this!!!

[Cold Steel]

Great hack, have had it installed for awhile.

But how come it doesn't show up in the hack database?
