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

I will give this a try later, thanks.

I'm not sure. It broke after I updated it to gold but I think it might have just been some over written templates. I'll try to reinstall it and then I think that it would work after that.

I've installed a fresh v3.6.0, then install it, but after i edit the category, change the value into the ammount of columns i want, but ..nothing's happened :-?

Did you reedit the includes/functions_forumlist.php because that is all I had to do and it started working again.

[vitnuce]

Oh yes, it only takes effect with the category, not the forum

[thenetbox]

ah yes I think that's right. It only works on my forumhome.

[Spookysalem]

Can anyone help me out with this please.. The hack works fine but i would like to add a border around each catagory. I cannot seem to find the place to add the code or indeed which code needs to be added.
I have seen it done using this hack on a couple of forums...
Thanks in advance.

I tried this with my 3.6.0 as well and it still doesn't work. It keeps showing the subforum as a list without a border. I've installed the Forumhome Category Spacing on my board and had to change the code inside the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template to this:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if condition="$forum['subforumcolumns'] > 1">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<table style="border: none; width: 100%;">
			
</table>
		</td>
	</tr>
<else />
	
</if>
</tbody>
</if>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="35">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="120">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>
$childforumbits
<tr><td class="thead" style="line-height: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="1" height="12" /></td></tr>
</tbody>
</if>
</table>
<div style="padding:0px 0px 16px 0px;"></div>

Can anyone help me out here? I think the code inside this template is faulty. :cross-eyed:

[AdmiralSpock]

I just used the Category Spacing hack that uses a product. I couldn't get it to work with the one that edited the actual templates.

[The-Ensemble]

Are there any plans for someone to take over xenon's hacks/mods? I really want to put this on forum display but i dont know how and can't find a find or stuff for it.

[soletrader]

Someone please make this work on 3.6.0
