Forum Home Enhancements - Social Group Forum List

This is a more enriched version of this mod that I made.


If you have Version 1.0 of this mod installed, please uninstall it and run through these instructions again, as I have fixed a couple crucial bugs and added some more settings.

Description:
This mod lists all your Social Groups in a table on the forum home, which makes it look like more forums.

Instructions:
First Import the product.
Second Edit your FORUMHOME template.
If you want the table to show above the forums,
Find:

<!-- / guest welcome message -->
<br />
</if>

Add Below:

<if condition="$vboptions[sgfl_enable] == 1">
<form action="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=grouplist" method="post">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat" width="100%" colspan="5">
        <div style="float:$stylevar[right]" class="normal">$vbphrase[search_groups] <input type="text" class="bginput" name="filtertext" value="$filters[text]" style="font-size: 11px;" />&nbsp;<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" /></div>
        $vboptions[sgfl_st]
    </td>
</tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="thead" width="100%">
            
<if condition="$vboptions[sgfl_createdate] == 1">
<span style="float:$stylevar[right]">$vbphrase[sgfl_group_created]</span>
</if>
            $vbphrase[sgfl_group_name]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions[sgfl_membercount] == 1">
        <td class="thead" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
            $vbphrase[sgfl_group_members]
        </td>
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions[sgfl_messagecount] == 1">
        <td class="thead" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
            $vbphrase[messages]
        </td>
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions[sgfl_piccount] == 1">
        <td class="thead" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
            $vbphrase[sgfl_pictures]
        </td>
</if>
<if condition="$vboptions[sgfl_last_post] == 1">
        <td class="thead" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
            $vbphrase[last_post]
        </td>
</if>
    </tr>
    $sgforumlist
<tr>
    <td colspan="5" align="center" class="tfoot smallfont">
        <if condition="$show['creategroup']">
            <strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=create">$vbphrase[sgfl_create_a_new_group]</a></strong> &nbsp;
        </if>
        &nbsp; <strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=search">$vbphrase[sgfl_search_groups]</a></strong>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="dofilter" value="1" />
</form>
</if>

If you want the table to show under the forums,
Find:

$forumhome_markread_script
<!-- /main -->

Add Below:

<if condition="$vboptions[sgfl_enable] == 1">
<form action="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=grouplist" method="post">

    <tr>

    </tr>
    $sgforumlist

        <if condition="$show['creategroup']">
            <strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=create">$vbphrase[sgfl_create_a_new_group]</a></strong> &nbsp;
        </if>
        &nbsp; <strong><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=search">$vbphrase[sgfl_search_groups]</a></strong>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="dofilter" value="1" />
</form>
</if>

Now, by default this mod is disabled. So go into your settings and enable it, and Pick the Title of the Section you would like.

thanks for this... will be installing soon

[Twilkey]

Ok Guys. I have fixed the bugs in this mod and added some more features.
If you are running 1.0, please go through the instructions again, replacing all that you did before.

[jluerken]

Can you please change the setting "Section Title" into a phrase?
Otherwise the addon cannot be used on multilanguage boards.

Nice mod ! ** installs **

Just a few items:

Mod was turned off but showed up on Forum Home anyway (if that is correct then never mind).

Second, I only have a few members in the few groups but mod is showing three times the number of members for one group ??

and finally, any way to make it's box collapsible? That would be great.

Anyway, as I said nice work! Thanks.

[ShackMaster]

Thanks for the updates... excellent!

[snake-boy]

Member count now works.

However:

• Even if disabled in admin, it still shows on the forum.

• Also, if I enable image count, nothing changes. I see no info about available images in any of my groups.

• If "Show Date" is disabled, the heading "Created" still appears on the table.

• It also ignores my style background color on the "last post" column (gives black bg). All other columns work fine, as it does in the default style.

See attached.
