All Topic - Master Forums - Shows threads from multiple forums in one forum

No support by the author.

This a complete and total upgrade to version 2.0!

New Version: 2.2

NOTE: VB 4.2.0(and over) Users DO NOT do the Manual File Edit on forumdisplay.php in the directions.

1 manual file edit is required to fix a bug where the thread count may be wrong in the master forum. Details in instructions in zip file.

You can now specify an * to denote "all forums" when creating a master forum. See instructions for details.

In addition this mod will be able to auto edit your templates if you run the standard threadbit template, otherwise there are instructions in the zip file for manual template edits if needed.

New in 2.2: Show or hide sticky threads from slave forums on the master forum.

What does this mod do? - Basically this is only the most awesomest mod ever for vBulletin. You can now view threads from other forums in "Master Forums" you designate.

For example on my site "Off Topic" is my "Master Forum" and virtually all other forums are assigned to the Master Forum offering user's the ability to browse 1 forum while seeing threads from many others.

New in version 2.0: You can now have multiple master forums.

See the screen shots for an example.

All instructions are included in the zip file.

As pointed out by phpdesk you must have at least 1 thread in your master forum for this to work.

I have tested this on VB 4.0.8 and am sure it will work on all 4.0/4.1 versions to date. There is a separate version for VB 3.x.

You can mostly ignore all posts in this thread up to post #25. Old posts are no longer relevant to this new version. (Note: post #7 is still relevant if you have only 1 master forum.)

I suppose anything is possible, it would mean new queries on forumdisplay. It's not something I will do though- you would have to find someone else willing to code it that way.

I have the 3.8 version in action on my forum, but you need to register to see it in action-

Specifically it's my "off topic" forum which is my master-forum:
http://www.juot.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2

I also added a custom image to distinguish each forum from the main off-topic forum, instead of the text saying the source forum name.

If anyone else is using the 4.x version and wants to post a link, feel free.

Great mod, however i've noticed that when viewing my forum with a program such as Forum Runner or Tapatalk that the master forums do not show threads from the slave forums.

Are there any modifications i could do on my side to get this working in app? or is that all up to the app developer.

It would require modification of their files- so it's not something I'm going to attempt. I really don't know where to start with either of them.

Is this supposed to show the total number of threads and posts on Forumhome since for me it is only showing 1 Thread and 1 Post, this is the 1 thread I created in there to make it all work.

Cheers

Ahh, it is deceiving though when members see there is only 1 thread and 1 post in the Master Forum, until you click in there and see the list. Would it not be a good idea to have it calculate the total threads and posts in the entire Master or maybe remove the number of threads and posts from the Master Forum altogether?

Cheers for the Mod

My master forum has thousands of threads anyway so it was never really an issue for me. Perhaps something in the forum description explaining there are more threads than it appears.

This has been discussed a number of times and I can understand why people would want this but the fact is it would be a far more complicated and resource intensive mod to do those extra calculations. It's not something I plan on adding.
