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.

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 don't know if you mean that you don't see the problem I had in the screenshot I posted, or that you don't see the problem with the new file on your forum.

Regardless, I tested the new file and it fixed it! Much appreciated

[Xenon]

i'm glad that fixed it

Love this hack, used it for awhile now. One question, did anyone ever work out a way to list moderators for each forum?

[FFZoneXtreme]

I have installed the mod properly but I have one problem :S:S:S
this is my forum http://foros.ffzonextreme.com, and as you can see, the "forums headers (where puts "Foro, Ultimo Mensaje, Temas, Post...") are below the Main Categories rows (Where puts .::FFZONEXTREME::.)

I want to know if there is a way for don?t showing the "Forum Headers" when arranged in colums :S:S

This is the code of forumbit_level1_nopost

 <!-- top category table setup -->
<table width="100%" style="background-image:url('$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_back.gif')" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="170" height="27" align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/firmament_front_table_top_ls.gif" width="170" height="27" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
    <td width="100%" style="background-image:url('$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/cat_back.gif')" valign="middle">
	
			
			<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>

	</td>
    <td width="170" height="27" align="right" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/firmament_front_table_top_rs.gif" width="170" height="27" alt=" " border="0" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
        <!-- End top category table setup -->
        
        
        

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<if condition="$childforumbits">

	  <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>

$childforumbits

</if>

  <!-- bottom table setup -->
    <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
        <td width="60" height="14" align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ls_main_table_bottom.gif" width="60" height="14" alt="" /></td>

      </tr>
    </table>
   <!-- End bottom table setup -->
     <div style="padding: 7px 7px 7px 7px;"></div>

And here the Forumbits_level1_post

Hi guys...I am fairly new at VB and have tried to install this modification twice already.

Each time I get these errors:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in myISP\lpsforum\includes\functions_forumlist.php on line 755

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_forum_bit() in myISP\lpsforum\index.php on line 412

I have checked and double checked the code but can't determine where/how I went wrong.

Can you guys lead me in the right direction on how to fix this?

Any help is greatly appreicated.

[Xenon]

it seems you ahve put the function on the wrong place.

be sure it is before the ending ?>
