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

Ok i am so frusterated I know I am missing up on 1 tiny thing.. just don't know what.

First I did the Arrange sub forums mod here from vb.org... well it didn't work and i did it 6 times to verify..

then i tried this one.. verified the i followed instructions.. and it doesnt work

Ok im getting a headache from hell doing this crap.

I followed all steps even with the new warnings added.

Im using 3.5.2

Made sure the forum was set to sub forum depth of 1... with the top two being 2.

i edited the php file and checked it 3 times.

When i uploaded the php file nothing changed at all.
i had settings at

forum home 2
forum display 1
sub forum depth 2
doesnt work..... even if i set it as 2 2 1 or 2 1 1

hmm
so i set
Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 1
Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 1
Depth of Sub-Forums = 2

Ahh ha.. it works.. but.. my post counts and stats etc.. all gone.

so i put it back to
2
2
1
...
nope looks like my regular forum.

This might be a really stupid question, but what do I do with the Mac files in the zip?

Jpax · #**100** 02-23-2006, 11:53 PM

yup, This ZIP ** Removed **.

Edit: You might want to give some feedback next time, instead of just a reply like this.

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