Added:

Display order, so it orders the sub-forums the way they are listed in your admin CP.

Added an hr.

Thats it it!

if you watn the HR to look good add this into your
"Custom replacements"

hr is replaced by <hr size="1" color="{ tablebordercolor }"

{ tablebordercolor } - dont forget to remove the spaces "{ }

that is it!

Thanks and excuse my english (I put the colours to show you how I would like it to appear).

Look for this code ...

PHP Code:


			
$forum['description'] .= "<hr><B>Sub-Forums:</B> ";

and replace it with this:

PHP Code:


			
$forum['description'] .= "<hr><B><font color="#FE1B01">Sub-Forums:</font></B> ";

This hack doesn't work with forums that are under moderation (posts have to be validated). Is there a fix to this somewhere?UPDATED: FIXED

?0.02

I used the basis of the hack. Modified extremely... and works great. Does not generate many extra queries, and is damn fast.

Features added :
- Bold on new messages
- custom forum type
- variable number of columns to display per parents children

added 2 fields to forum table showas and numcols
this is the index.php version. For the forumdisplay.php
there is some stuff to comment out ( or in) dependeing on your requirements (sorts out spacing before and after subforum lists)

See it in action at www.mainframeforum.com

here is the code, I do not support it, have fun .....

PHP Code:

I just want to show the forums that have subforums, but no posts themselves, and therefore don't show up as anything but the name of the ategory on the main index page....I want to have the reply count and post count for those shown on the main forum page like other normal forums are. How can I do this the best way, with the fewest queries?

xgamer · #57 12-05-2001, 03:04 PM

cool hack and is very easy to install

philphee · #58 12-06-2001, 05:00 AM

Works like a charm, thx for the great hack!

RobAC · #59 12-08-2001, 07:33 PM

Is there a way to exclude certain subforums from showing up such as private forums?

ixian · #60 12-13-2001, 09:03 PM

Nice hack! I have it working at my site.

Question - Currently, I can't get subforums to show up under CATAGORIES, only other forums. To get around this, I made my Catagories forums, then locked them for new posts so no one would post in them. This works fine, however, that also makes the "Locked" icon appear next to them.

Any way to change the locked icon to active/inactive again even if the main forum is locked but the subforums are not? I've had several users complain that they used to pay attention to the active/inactive icons (never knew that, I don't, but hey).

Sven · #61 01-16-2002, 08:22 PM

Very nice hack

But I think there's a little glitch if a subforum has subforums.
The subforums of subforum are displayed this way

subforum
subforums: x, y
x
y

Is there a way to prevent it?
