Split ForumHome Page into Multiple Pages · **Released**: 07-13-2005

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.

Set up a test forums as per vbulletin terms and install just this mod and see if you can get it to work in that, then start installing some of your other modifications and see if any of those are causing problems.

Any luck on 3.8?

Hornstar · #**214** 01-17-2009, 05:41 AM

Works perfectly after upgrading from 3.5.4 (first install) till 3.7.2.. note: this was not a new install! Just upgraded my vB version till 3.7.2 and the add-on is still working.

Brilliant, working perfectly on 3.8.1, thanks.

Not sure if anyone knew this, but I just found that this hack has 2 uncahced templates.

I activated the plugin, changed the number from 1 to 2 in forum management.
Where do I see the new page?
I tried page2.html but returns a 404 error.

Hornstar · #**219** 07-06-2009, 08:51 PM

I don't use this anymore but by memory it was something along the lines of index.php?page=2 or something like that. I used vbseo so I had it say whatever.html anyway.

Is it possible to list a forum on more than 1 page? Like I want the Website Feedback forum to be visible on all of them. Right now it only lets you input 1 number

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