CSS - Sub-Forum-List in Columns · **Released**: 06-28-2005

For vb3.5.x --> vb3.6.x

Tested and working on Firefox, Safari and IE6.

What this does:
It converts the sub-forum-list into a unordered list, then by using CSS arranges the sub-forums into columns.

The columns are liquid - number of columns depends on browser-window-width or page width. The column width is set in the CSS.

Note that you need to enable sub-forums in your ACP.

3 CSS class definition added.
8 template edits.

See the zip for further instructions / full details.

Enjoy!

Update: v2.

Class attribute moved from <li> to <ul> element, and you now get full control through the stylesheet.
A clear:both style added below the list to constrict the floats, so that you can put stuff beneath the list.

Update:

Works for vb3.6.x with no changes.
Added .txt to textfile

<i>I'm really stupid, but I'm not able to find where is " 'Main CSS' for your selected style. " mentioned in instructions.

Please, can you tell me which is 'Main CSS' in Default Style?

Thank you</i>

Sorry... I found it!

I am probably just as stupid as you, but this is how you find Main CSS

Go to:

1. www.yourwebsite.com/admincp < example only

2. Styles and Templates

3. Style Manager

4. All Style Options

5. Main CSS

Goodluck mate ... I am learning too!

Perfect!

Thank you very much!

Really great change :banana:

I did this, and I get my subforums listed twice - once in the nice columns, then below it in a single list with bullet points *scratches head*

Did you follow all the steps?

Damsella · #**138** 06-20-2006, 11:34 AM

Well, yes, as far as I know. I will relook.

I use vB3.5.4

I have all links in one line.

Changing the css to 70 or 100 px didn't help (width of subforum li)

How can I get two colums?
