CSS - Sub-Forum-List in Columns

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

Im using this on 3.6, no problems yet.

Can the columns be set by other methods than width... it's a bit random.

I would prefer to set the number of columns independently of the browser width.

I like and have installed it on all my skins.

[badboyz]

there is nothing

there is only two files

wat do i do with them?

[peterska2]

rename the file so that it is .txt and then open it and the instructions are in there. It's the file inside the folder.

I've tried this, but when I switch over - the subforums line up in their cells fine, but I lose the last thread, number of posts columns.

I'm sure I'm missing something very simple - but can anyone help point it out?

Here is a screenshot - as you see, my last thread, poster, and number of posts columns are gone?

Thanks!

I have updated the textfile to include .txt - don't know how that escaped the last time...

As many of you have already discovered, this mod works without changes with vb3.6.x. It seems that I can't update the version numbering, so if someone who reads this can; please bump the version number to 3.6.x. Thanks.

Jarvis: It looks like you may have deleted the other columns when you edited one of the 4 forumhome_forumbit_level*_post templates. Just revert and try again, but only replace what your supposed to replace.

Thanks for the reply. I have reverted all of the FORUMHOME templates to their original status. As a test, I set the forum display to 1 and show subforums.

This is the 'out of the box' default layout I get:

The formentioned columns are still missing. Am I making a really stupid mistake here somewhere? :cross-eyed:

EDIT: that link above is now set to show subforums with level 2 in forum home as members were complaning, lol. Basically, I am still missing the extra columns even after reverting everything back to orginal in those templates.
