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 is in standart vb3. It is a plain port of my 3.0 version you can find here.

Look at the screenshot to know what i mean

The design is changeable in the templates of course


I've tested it, and it should work, but as i don't use it myself, i cannot do a longtime test, so if you find any bugs, report them

Right now, it's just working on forumhome.
I'll add changes for forumdisplay later

Nope

[Xenon]

hmm, sorry then i have no idea right now

[WritersBeat]

*sigh* oh well

I have just installed this hack and all is well ecept one formating problem.

The third column (or the last column if you do not have three columns) is flush to the right of the screen creating a spacing and formating issue.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Below is a link to my forum:

erm, that is not per default, the setting is two forums on your board, and you manually add a third column, most likely because of a misformed template edit

IS it possible to not have to do Code Changes for this modification? I promised myself I wouldnt install anything anymore that i had to hack my files... makes upgrading a complete pain. ALthough I might have to break it for this mod.

[Xenon]

Hello there,

Do I upload the XML files also or just make the changes to the includes/functions_forumlist.php ?

I have downloaded something different on one of your older post but It guess it would be better use this new post for the 3.5.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

[satfox360]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_forum_columns() in /home/httpd/vhosts/ftalife.com/httpdocs/includes/functions_forumlist.php on line 296

This is what was shown when you went to my website.

Hello Xenon,

I'm very sorry but I'm kind of a noobie to the add-ons and hacks.

I'm willing to make a donation via paypal and encourage anyone else to do the same for very descriptive instructions in a noobies prospective.

I have read through this whole post and think that your hack is great. I've seen how well it's been working for others and can't wait to get it on my forum.

I've seen you refer to install the product. Is this the xml?

Thank you for your time on this matter.

Bobby
