CSS - Sub-Forum-List in Columns · **Released**: 06-28-2005

For vb3.5.x --> vb3.6.x

Tested and working on Firefox, Safari and IE6.

What this does:
It converts the sub-forum-list into a unordered list, then by using CSS arranges the sub-forums into columns.

The columns are liquid - number of columns depends on browser-window-width or page width. The column width is set in the CSS.

Note that you need to enable sub-forums in your ACP.

3 CSS class definition added.
8 template edits.

See the zip for further instructions / full details.

Enjoy!

Update: v2.

Class attribute moved from <li> to <ul> element, and you now get full control through the stylesheet.
A clear:both style added below the list to constrict the floats, so that you can put stuff beneath the list.

Update:

Works for vb3.6.x with no changes.
Added .txt to textfile

Cool that looks much better.

excellent idea...subforums in lines really clogged up the window

Very cool. It'd be nice if vBulletin spent a little more time on these little annoyances. Another happy RC2'er.

love this hack...some quick questions:

1. Is it possible to change the title "Sub-Forums" to something else?
2. is possible to decrease the spacing size between the title "Sub-Forums" and the subforums' titles. its rather a big gap on mine.

anyway..... love this kind of hack. THANKS!

1.i had the huge space like the above post
2/ my subforums didnt go in two columns like yours it was all in one column

1. yah. iky!!

2. this depends on your screen resolution as well as how big you opened your browser window size to. open your browser window to full and/or set a higher screen res. it should go to the second column relative to window size.

still to make it make a column "sooner", go to:

Admincp >>Styles & Templates>>> (choose your style) >> Additional CSS Definitions (second box) >>>

edit the "width: 150px;"

small px makes it go to second column a relatively small browser window size. I use 170 on mine. try a few and see what works for you.

3. anyone know where to go to change if I want to change the "Sub-Forums" to something else?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
