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.

After installing this mod and editing the templates I still have this problem. It's a standard style.

Solved. I deleted my Thread Prefixes for that subforum, now the columns are all the same.

You sure you adjusted everything correctly?

Try this... after copying the section we're talking about in your FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, and forumhome_seperate_forumcats templates and saving them somewhere else just to be safe, replace them with this...

Quote:

<thead>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="7%"> </td>
<td class="thead" width="45%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="32%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="9%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>
</thead>

If you see absolutely no change, something is wrong.

Thanks man, i ended up doing it myself though.

We are running 3.7 anyhow, but a lot of 3.6 mods work on it, just this one didn't happen to.

Sean James · #**156** 12-29-2008, 02:59 AM

So does this work with the latest version of vbulletin 3.7.4?

UKBusinessLive · #**157** 01-02-2009, 01:25 AM

Works fine with latest version, I'm using 3.7.4. had problems with wonky forums and nothing lining up, Played around with all these template edits, got no where, The answer was staring me right in the face

Goto> vbulletin options> Forum Listings Display Options> scroll down> find> Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters > set to 20 and save...

Now works a treat, thought i'd share it here

take care

Chrakker · #**158** 01-06-2009, 02:56 PM

Works for 3.7.5 from Scratch with this fix

Nice work

Makred as installed ^__^

			<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>

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>

I have tried this, but they are still all squashed to the right. The only one that I couldn't do is: forumhome_seperate_forumcats I don't have one of those unser my FORUMHOME or anywhere else that I can see.

Can you help me on this please?
