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 have the Aria skin (from vBstyles) installed on my board, and I've downloaded and installed this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=99829&page=18

And everything is working beautifully except I can't edit the template correctly so what ends up happening is my forum columns get this extra gray box on the right side of them. On the instructions it says:

PHP Code:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  edit template forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost +++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

if your columnized forums should be below open for post categories, you also have to change level1_post that way..

find:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


replace with:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<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%;">
            $childforumbits
</table>
        </td>
    </tr>
<else />
    $childforumbits
</if>
</tbody>
</if>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


The only problem is, on the Aria skin on that template, I have to work with this:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<tr align="center">
      <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
      <td class="thead">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$vbphrase[threads]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="thead">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$vbphrase[posts]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
          </tr>
$childforumbits
</if> 


So its made it pretty difficult to integrate in there without messing up the forums. Can anyone help me out?

awesome...ill post again if i encounter any problems

It would be nice if someone would take this and make a new version with updates, extra features. Xenon has all but left the community and given up on updating any of his addons/modifications - that in my opinion is abadonment of the project and should be open for anyone to release a new copy.

Without testing I would try somethin like that:

		<tr>
			<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
			<td><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
					<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if></td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</td>

Where did you paste it?

[Cheertobi]

I think it was in the template that was created by the product!

Also i want to know, how to show the small statusicon icons instead of big icons.

Thanks in advance.

[BigJimTheLug]

Help.

I couldn't get this to work on my forum.

I now have categories separated, but they are not vertical columns.

Everything is the same and I think I am missing one final detail to get this mod to work completely.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
