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

[Mr. Brian]

An error occurred while attempting to execute my query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146

error desc: Table 'abc.forum' doesn't exist

That's werid! No mater how I tried still getting the same result..

No ideal what's the main causes of it..any bro here ever encountered such problem before?

Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Many thanks in advance.

do you use a table prefix?

if yes you have to manually change the query
[sql]ALTER TABLE forum ADD subforumcolumns TINYINT(3) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL ;[/sql]

into
[sql]ALTER TABLE yourprefixhereforum ADD subforumcolumns TINYINT(3) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL ;[/sql]

if you don't have a tableprefix set up, you have a serious problem on your board..

[Mr. Brian]

Is it possible to check whether there's any tableprefix'ed on my forum...?

[Xenon]

it's set up in your config.php

[Mr. Brian]

Looks something like this:- ?

// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
// For example: $tableprefix = '';
$tableprefix = 'mydatabasename';

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'bb';

am I right?

thanks

[Xenon]

exactly.

so you ahve to add this prefix before the 'forum' within that query

[Mr. Brian]

alright. thanks a lot bro..

I'm gonna install it right now!

Does the image add-on control custom on/off images per forum, or just add just an image for the forums there for eye candy? I definatly want to incorporate this into our new design but with custom on/off images for a particular category.

Thanks for any clarity you can provide. Nice job, btw!

[Xenon]

you can change that:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

into

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[forumid]_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

and then create on of status icons within the statusicon folder containing the forumid
