Forum Display Enhancements - Move Sub-forums listing below threads... (vB4)

This is the vB4 version of my vB3 mod here:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249626

Demo: http://www.qapla.com/mods/forumdispl...ions?styleid=5

This is a simple template edit to move sub-forums display below the threads in a forum rather than on top like they are now. There are various reasons for this, all come down to personal preference. Personally if I have a lot of sub-forums I want users to be able to see the threads without needing to scroll down.

NOTE - For VB 4.2.1 and any version where the code does not match below, see Post # 28 for alternate instructions.

In your FORUMDISPLAY template find the code:

<vb:if condition="$forumbits">
{vb:raw template_hook.forumdisplay_above_subforums}
<div id="forumbits" class="forumbits">
	<div class="forumhead">
		<h2>
			<span class="forumtitle">{vb:rawphrase subforums}</span>
			<span class="forumlastpost">{vb:rawphrase last_post}</span>
		</h2>
	</div>
	<ol>
		{vb:raw forumbits}
	</ol>

	{vb:raw forumhome_markread_script}
</div>
</vb:if>

And "CUT" it to your clipboard... (Copy it and delete it but save a copy)

Now find:

	<div class="threadpagenav">
		{vb:raw pagenav}
		{vb:raw forumjump}
	</div>
</div>

And below that PASTE the code you cut above...

And that's it, now your sub-forums will show under your threads. See the screen shot.

Download the .txt file as a backup.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

This is a nice simple Mod which I have been looking for for some time now (I had considered just 'going for it' myself but lacked the courage/knowledge). Thanks.

This is what I was looking for BUT can I do the following?

- I want to use this mod only for few forums and not all the forums. Can this be done in VB4?

I know it can done in your VB3 hack.

The Second Method:

If you want sub-forums to stay on top in some forums but below threads in others than do the following:

Thanks,

Basically like with VB3 you can use template conditionals instead.

Rather than delete the code from the top just copy it to the bottom location.

Now you need to surround both in template conditionals, just like VB 3.x

However a VB 3 conditional looks like:

<if condition="code..."> 
code
</if>

VB4 conditionals just have vb: added before the if:

<vb:if condition="code..."> 
code
</vb:if>

That's the only change you make.

{vb:raw template_hook.forumdisplay_below_subforums}
</vb:if>

This is a customized forum style, but it appears they've linked the display for above and below subforum in the same $forumbits condition?

When I made the changes listed here, all it did for me was move the forum title to where the thread is, and did not move the threads at all.

I am assuming the way this style is coded I cannot do this because I am moving both parts instead of the sub-forums?

My code looks the same as yours. I am running vbulletin 4.2. Here are the steps I found to move the subforums below the threads in vb4.2:

not working need to change according to 4.2.0

[Toorak Times]

Seems to be working fine on 4.2pl3

Our template looks different.

I don't see this, for example, in the code you say to find:

{vb:raw forumhome_markread_script}

[BirdOPrey5]

The code seems to have changed in the template at some point.

In 4.2.1 look for the code:

<vb:if condition="$forumbits">
{vb:raw template_hook.forumdisplay_above_subforums}
<div id="forumbits" class="forumbits">
	<div class="forumhead">
		<h2>
			<span class="forumtitle">{vb:rawphrase subforums}</span>
			<span class="forumthreadpost">{vb:rawphrase threads_posts}&nbsp;</span>
			<span class="forumlastpost">{vb:rawphrase last_post}</span>
		</h2>
	</div>
	<ol>
		{vb:raw forumbits}
	</ol>
</div>
{vb:raw template_hook.forumdisplay_below_subforums}
</vb:if>

CUT the code above (copy to clipboard then delete from the template)

The FIND this code:

	<div class="threadpagenav<vb:if condition="!$pagenav AND !$forumjump"> nopagenav</vb:if>">
		{vb:raw pagenav}
		{vb:raw forumjump}
	</div>
</div>

and PASTE the code below that.

That should so the same thing in 4.2.1.

If any problems simple undo or "REVERT" the template to get back the VB default template.

Thank you.

Now how can I get it so the Post New Thread and Moderation Tools buttons and pagination are below it?
