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've just installed it and worked great.

But I have some sob-forums working as categories inside a forum and the mod is separating all those sub-forums as individual ones. I know this is possible but I just can't figure out how to keep them together just like original.

Can someone give me a tip for ?

Tks.

figured out the problem...i was not using the "act as forum=no" option in the forum manager. Once I did that the effects were implemented immediately ...but I'm not sure if I am crazy about the "forum" heading over each category. plan to play around with it a little more.

I was about to edit my template for 3.7 beta 6, then I thought I will install this and see what happens. Works great

this is a great hack and thanks for it, it works flawlessly on my 3.6.8 board. but i do have a modification question for you, at the top of each new seperated forum, where it says forum - the "heading", how can i change this word 'forum' for something else?

Anybody? its driving me nuts trying to do it lol

IE atm the title of my first category should be 'Welcome' but it's showing up as 'Feedback'. Feedback is the forum at the very bottom of the page in the final category, whatever I change the bottom forum to is what is displayed as the title of the first category.

Needless to say I'm confused! Can anyone help?

It happened after I altered the FORUMHOME template, if it helps this is what it looks like now...

	<!-- end no cache headers -->
	$headinclude
	<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>

I am having this problem as well. For now I just hard coded a generic title, but it would be nice if it actually called the first forum title correctly.
