Forums arranged in columns on forumhome · **Released**: 01-08-2004

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.

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

You can apply the changes to forumdisplay as well if wanted

I was editing the index.php as per the instructions when I came across this:

then add this new function to the file:

I am not very adept at original php/sql coding - exactly WHERE is a good place to stick the new function code in that file? does it matter?

well, normally just place it after the last function in the file, but before the closing ?>

it doesn't really matter where you add it, depends on your own preferences

Hi Xenon,

can you please check this, my indexpage seems to be ok, only category "Smalltalk" shows "( Betrachter)", even if there are no users browser the forum!

At forumdisplay there an no lastpostby information!

I do not have any idea, had tested a few things, but I did not get it ;( Any ideas?

Tobias

Xenon · #**326** 01-17-2005, 08:26 PM

i'd remove the (Betrachter) code at all from the template, as the variables aren't defined in the column's function!

ok, thanks!

Are the lastpostby variables defined at forumdisplay.php, because I cannot them when I set colums to 2! See this link!

Thanks,

Tobias

Can this arrangement only apply forum i choose? so certain forum would be in a column and others in their regular form?

Xenon · #**329** 01-17-2005, 09:20 PM

@Guy: it's based on a parent base, so if you set up a parent forum that subforums are in columns, ALL subforums will be in cols, you cannot say one subforum shouldn't be.

@Tobias: oops, you're right, i forgot something.

redownload the file, and overwrite the cunstruct_subforum... bit function, there were three lines (one if condition missing)

Should the new file fix the problems I had here, or is this a separate issue? :nervous:
