Forums arranged in columns on forumhome · **Released**: 07-25-2002

As requested several times, this hack allows you to arrange forums on forumhome in xx columns instead of just one per row as it now.

You have to set up a new category(s). All direct subforums to this category(s) will be arranged in columns.
It can be very usefull if you have very much Subforums, so you haven't to scroll as much as you have before

Newest Version: 1.21
Known Bugs: none

Screenshots below.

Design can be changed in templates..

i didn't remove it, my forums which are aranged in columns aren't just at the very top of the forumhomepage

i don't understand why it would matter where the columns are on the forumhome page, xenon. could you explain that a little more.
mine for example, are in the center. still, you can see from the screenshot i posted, what i mean by that table row, and how i'd like to get rid of it. i know others are wondering as well. it can obviously be done, as other sites have accomplished it, however no one is sharing that knowledge.

I tried to install this. Never could get it to look right on a more than one of my skins.

I spent best half of a night trying to remove this and anything i did seemed to affect the whole board so in end i just gave up.
I now have 3 sections with GFX in them but i also have the 2 header bars which quite ruin it so a hack on how to remove this alone for this certain section that u use for columns would be excellant if anyone wants to share their knowledge.

As for me im lost on this.

i'm not a php coder, but i think all we'd need is to have the script say (in laymen's english) "if you're not using columns for this forum, use the default templates. otherwise, use custom templates for those rows." and then get to define in those templates how you want those rows to appear.

it matters where the columns are, because if they are on the top of forumhome, that tablerow is created by the forumhome templates, not by any templates of my hack....

if you have it in the center than you just have to cut out

Code:

<tr align="center">
  <td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont>&nbsp;</smallfont></td>
  <td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="80%" align="left"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Forum</b></smallfont></td>
  <td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Posts</b></smallfont></td>
  <td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Threads</b></smallfont></td>
  <td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" nowrap><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Last Post</b></smallfont></td>
  <td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" width="20%"><smallfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Moderator</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>

from your colforumtablefooter template as i said already

i've read all of the posts in this thread... you don't need to worry about that. and i know you've mentioned that you can just take those tables out, but that does not solve the problem. and it's a problem that others here are also experiencing.

i have the forum which contains the colomns in the middle of the page, and it still draws from that forumhome template and puts that tablerow in.

is it possible to code it in your php that you've posted for this script, that if the forum uses columns, then it would draw that information for that tablerow from a seperate template, instead of the default forumhome template?
that would resolve all of our issues here.

thanks for the help.

i don't have the time to code in special wishes this time, so you can try to code it in yourself.

as soon as i've more time, i'll recode this hack with some new ideas i currently have in mind...

Mr_P · #**120** 10-30-2002, 12:49 PM

i also removed from columbit the said code but somehow the bars still appear

Buddha · #**121** 10-30-2002, 12:57 PM

i don't think it's just "special wishes" xenon. if you read through this thread you'll see that there are a lot of people who would like this hack to work and display properly.

sorry to put you out though. forget i asked.
