Seperate Forum Categories · **Released**: 08-10-2006

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.

i got things working - not by using this plugin tho.

Anyway my problem is that the template forumhome_seperate_forumcats will not delete - it was added to the master style with no uninstall code !!

So how to remove - thanks

That's a limitation that can't be solved without template edits. And this mod is about separating them without those edits ...

Great plugin! To make the functionality even better on my forum i would like to switch the 'topic-threads-replies balk' with the 'catagory balk' just like as on this forum. Mayby if it is possible it is a nice idea to add to the plugin.

If a Style have Seperate Forum Categories integrated the Hack kill the Style layout.

Been looking for this Mod for some time...!

Ok, now I see why I did not found it before...! The NAME has got an orthographic ERROR!

It should be "Separate Forum Categories" and NOT "Seperate Forum Categories"...

Ok... Installed!

:up:

Hey everyone if you're having issues with the with of the columns from one block to the next, just adjust those percentages in the FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, forumhome_seperate_forumcats templates that KURTZ mentioned towards the top of this page. I changed my "Last_Post", "Posts", and "Threads" percentages a bit. It took a few minutes because it's all trial and error but hey... you own a website.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
