Split ForumHome Page into Multiple Pages

What it does is to allow you to take some forums off your Forum Home page and display them on a second instance of the forumhome page.

This is useful if you have a long list of forums and have some forums like archives that your users don't need to access very often.

This mod differs from Kirby's (Andreas's) in that his allows you to limit the NUMBER of forums shown per page. Mine allows you to select the specific forums to show.

I have not tested it, but I believe this will allow you to use any number of forumhome pages. You could do one per category if you show chose.

This is now a product. No code changes are required on your part. Please note that if you have microstats installed, it will yell about an uncached template. The template is not uncached. It doesn't exist. It is not creating extra queries. I am not sure how to suppress that error at this point.

My thanks to Kirby for pointing the way on how to make the functions_forumlist part of this mod a plugin instead of a code change.

Demo:

Page One
Page Two

Instructions:
1. Install the product.
2. Go to each forum and set which page to display it on. 1,2,3 etc. I have only tested 1 and 2.
3. Create links to the other instances of forumhome. Put these links where you would like them to be - in your navbar, side panel, header, tabs, whereever. Example links are the demo links posted above.
4. Contribute something to this site. Help somebody with a question or release some code of your own. Keep the giving circle going.

Hi Amy,

I've recently had to uninstall VBSEO and it now seems to work fine so it's clearly related to that.

Not sure if that helps...

Cheers,

Uncached templates: forumhome_forumbit_level2 (4)

??

Many thanks

This mod has tons of potential! - here are few things that I have thought of while trying it out.

1) Custom titles per page(browser and url)
2) Ability to include(repeat) forums on multiple pages(instead of links with blank activity display).
3) Ability to post entire Categories along with child forum arrangements onto other pages.
4) Custom styles per page.

I am currently developing a large community with many subsection and adding subsection profiles as pages would greatly enhance our ability to keep things organized and manageable.

Great hack btw!

Just use a mod called "ZH - Template cache" that allows you to add and cache uncached templates. Problem solved.

Not to bust anyone's b*lls here by posting something off topic but I think it would benefit many if something like what I need was to be created... Myself and several others want to be able to use a product ALMOST just like this one here in this thread, but we'd need a few separate things 'tweaked'. If the creator of this product would please be so kind as to briefly read this thread (in the link below) I'd greatly appreciate it, myself and many others are willing to pay. Thanks!
