Separate Forum Categories
  • Version: 1.0.1
  • Author: RS_Jelle
  • Description: This mod separates each forum category on the forum home without any template edits. The category header is added to the top of each separated category. This will be done for ALL the styles on your forum. Have a look at the attached screenshot and everything will become clear if you don't get the point
  • Why? I created this mod because someone requested it.
  • Limitations:
    1. It's possible that this mod won't work properly on highly customized styles.
    2. The 'Last Post' column can be smaller than normal if the thread titles of the category forums are all small (you can only fix this with a template edit). Have a look at the attached screenshot to see this limitation.

Installation

First post reserved

A bit more about the limitations:
  • The category header bar is necessary, otherwise your layout will be screwed. It can't be done without it.
  • I will never fix these limitations. The mod is about doing it without any template edits and the only way to get around the limitations are template edits.

Nice release, I'd install this if the Forum, Last Post, Threads, and Posts bar was placed under the category bar.

That's also a limitation, then you have to do a template edit:
  1. First install the product
  2. Open forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and remove the following code:
    HTML Code:
    <tbody>
    	<tr>
    		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
    			<a style="float:$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>
    			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
    			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
    			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
    		</td>
    	</tr>
    </tbody>
  3. Open forumhome_seperate_forumcats and add the following code at the end of the template:
    HTML Code:
    <tbody>
    	<tr>
    		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
    			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
    			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
    			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
    			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
    		</td>
    	</tr>
    </tbody>

I did something similar but removed it because of the same limitation.

We can do this also by adding a white <tr><td></td></tr> but the border will style be shown.

Indeed, that's the first thing I tested, but that was very ugly with that border and background color -like you said-.
