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 now.

You have to set up a new category(s). All direct subforums to this category(s) will be arranged in columns.
It can be very usefull if you have very much Subforums, so you haven't to scroll as much as you have before

Newest Version: 1.21
Known Bugs: none

Design can be changed in templates..

Thank you, Xenon. It works wonderfully. Everything was perfect.
And you give ALOT of room for creativity and customization.

would it be possible to do this same thing to forum display instead of forumhome?

I am making a classifieds modification to my site by creating a forum (like normal) then creating subforums. The subforums become the categories (that I create) and the end result looks like this:


but I really want them to look like this:


this is what the list of ads in the category looks like:


this is what the ad looks like once posted:


granted, this is very basic looking since it is in the earliest stages of just template edits but I would really like to be able to change the arrangement in the first pic to look like the second pic bad without it affecting the rest of my site if anyone can help.

P.S.
I downloaded my default style and uploaded it as a new style and told my classifieds forum to use that style only to be able to make so many template changes without screwing up the rest of the site.

thanks for any help in advance.

is it possible to modify this to affect forumdisplay instead of forumhome?

[Xenon]

the makeforumbit functions are identically afaik
so just copy them from index.php into forumdisplay.php

I tried that but since my classifieds forum that I create subforums in (to become the categories) isn't a category.....nothing happens

well...let me say this....I looked closely at the hack and I applied the hack to the forumdisplay.php instead of index.php (making sure to leave where it refers to forumdisplay instead of forumhome) but my classifieds is a forum instead of a category.....inside that forum is where I have subforums (these are the categories) and inside those is where members can post their ads (new threads)

but I am thinking that since the calssifieds is not a category is why this didn't work?

do you know of a quick mod to make it work the way I am trying to do it?

[Xenon]

hmm, i don't know then.

that's why i haven't clicked on give support to this hack, it's quite complicated as i realized

maybe for vb3 this would be easier to do, so i'll code the hack into vb3 and look how it'll work for forumdisplay.php
