Forums arranged in columns on forumhome

As requested several times, this hack allows you to arrange forums on forumhome in xx columns instead of just one per row as it now.

You have to set up a new category(s). All direct subforums to this category(s) will be arranged in columns.
It can be very usefull if you have very much Subforums, so you haven't to scroll as much as you have before

Newest Version: 1.21
Known Bugs: none

Screenshots below.

Design can be changed in templates..

(check it out, it is worthed) .. look at the "Gallery"

It's hacked so the on/off images reflect the forum topic (when read the image shows grey)

I am having some problems, I have done all correct but my forum layout goes out of shape when I do the forums. Any ideas how to fix?

[Xenon]

can you describe it more exactly or post a screenie?

no problems are known, perhaps you have made a mistake creating/modifying the templates

okay my forum has 12 Section, right now I can only do one section, how can I do all my forums like this to minimize space

These:

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,5,'Parent forums column arranged subforums','columnparent','0','Choose a Parent Forumid. All Subforums will be displayed in column arrangement (seperat with spaces)','','8')
INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,5,'Display Forum Columns','forumcols','4','','','9')

@hyperdave: in the newest version you can seperate more categories by space, all subforums in these cats will be arranged in columns.

hmmm....i guess i am the problem child on this one....either that, or one of the other hacks i am using is causing a conflict.

When i try to execute the sql query ( this is what i am using, straight out of the install file:

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorde r) VALUES (NULL,5,'Parent forums column arranged subforums','columnparent','0','Choose a Parent Forumid. All Subforums will be displayed in column arrangement (seperat with spaces)','','8')
INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorde r) VALUES (NULL,5,'Display Forum Columns','forumcols','4','','','9')

)

I get this error:

Failed to execute SQL : SQL INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorde r) VALUES (NULL,5,'Parent forums column arranged subforums','columnparent','0','Choose a Parent Forumid. All Subforums will be displayed in column arrangement (seperat with spaces)','','8') INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorde r) VALUES (NULL,5,'Display Forum Columns','forumcols','4','','','9') failed : You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,op' at line 1
