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

I tried this with my 3.6.0 as well and it still doesn't work. It keeps showing the subforum as a list without a border. I've installed the Forumhome Category Spacing on my board and had to change the code inside the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template to this:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if condition="$forum['subforumcolumns'] > 1">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<table style="border: none; width: 100%;">
			
</table>
		</td>
	</tr>
<else />
	
</if>
</tbody>
</if>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="35">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="120">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>
$childforumbits
<tr><td class="thead" style="line-height: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="1" height="12" /></td></tr>
</tbody>
</if>
</table>
<div style="padding:0px 0px 16px 0px;"></div>

Can anyone help me out here? I think the code inside this template is faulty. :cross-eyed:

I just used the Category Spacing hack that uses a product. I couldn't get it to work with the one that edited the actual templates.

Are there any plans for someone to take over xenon's hacks/mods? I really want to put this on forum display but i dont know how and can't find a find or stuff for it.

Where do I add the function in functions_forumlist.php? Can I add it anywhere or does it have to be placed somewhere specific?

[Cheertobi]

Hi,

just put it at the end of the file, right before

?>

I cant get it to work. I get a syntax error when I edit my functions_forumlist

[Cheertobi]

What did you copy to your functions_forumlist.php and where did you copy it?
