All Topic - Master Forums - Shows threads from multiple forums in one forum

Released: 07-03-2010 Last Update: 06-05-2011 Installs: 102

No support by the author.

This a complete and total upgrade to version 2.0!

New Version: 2.2

NOTE: VB 4.2.0(and over) Users DO NOT do the Manual File Edit on forumdisplay.php in the directions.

1 manual file edit is required to fix a bug where the thread count may be wrong in the master forum. Details in instructions in zip file.

You can now specify an * to denote "all forums" when creating a master forum. See instructions for details.

In addition this mod will be able to auto edit your templates if you run the standard threadbit template, otherwise there are instructions in the zip file for manual template edits if needed.

New in 2.2: Show or hide sticky threads from slave forums on the master forum.

What does this mod do? - Basically this is only the most awesomest mod ever for vBulletin. You can now view threads from other forums in "Master Forums" you designate.

For example on my site "Off Topic" is my "Master Forum" and virtually all other forums are assigned to the Master Forum offering user's the ability to browse 1 forum while seeing threads from many others.

New in version 2.0: You can now have multiple master forums.

See the screen shots for an example.

All instructions are included in the zip file.

As pointed out by phpdesk you must have at least 1 thread in your master forum for this to work.

I have tested this on VB 4.0.8 and am sure it will work on all 4.0/4.1 versions to date. There is a separate version for VB 3.x.

You can mostly ignore all posts in this thread up to post #25. Old posts are no longer relevant to this new version. (Note: post #7 is still relevant if you have only 1 master forum.)

Bird, I don't know enough English to be able to say how much I love U...

....shit, I was trying to make this around 4 months, and only got errors.

TT_________TT

Seriously, with only this I'm going to make you a shrine with candles and all....

BUT...if you can help me with an improvement...pff, I'm going to make the fuk'n shrine in the feedback forum of my community XD
I have one forum who contain the "multiforum" threads.
From this forum I want to load some threads in some other forums.
It's like a "official threads forum" about games, but then I want to show a game for the 360 and the PS3 into de x30 forum and the PS3 one.
How do I select this? With a prefix.

Can I filter the threads depending of the thread prefix it have?
Like (select all the threads from forumid 1 or (forum2 with prefix3))

LOL you're very welcome... I had been looking for this for years myself and am surprised no one figured it out sooner despite multiple requests from me and others...

As for your thread prefix situation I don't know the answer off hand... let me play with some things and see what I can come up with.

That's exactly the same thing I think about when I started searching for some kind of official addon.
And, well, the solution of adding some "if" magic to the php code who make the list its the first thing I think about...but I'm more the designer guy than the developer one, and every one told me it can't be so easy XD
So I started to try some basics with the code, but I wasn't doing any progress with it.

This is a option so useful I don't know how anyone do it earlier ^ ^

Bird, that's totally awesome! Thank you very much. I'm a bit behind with getting around to undertaking that plan, but once I get to it, I will be sure to give this a try and let you know how things go. Great work!

Hey crack!
To filter them by prefix, I only need to chage this :
PHP Code:
            WHERE forumid IN (11795)
                AND 
sticky 0
                        
AND prefixid IN ('ps3x360''ps3x360wii''X360''x360wii''x360win')
                
$prefix_filter 
Very simple with your base work ^ ^

This is beyond awesome Bird

Been trying to make an add-on but having no luck.

Is there a way to prefix the forum ID's?
i.e. say forumid 7 is Gaming, foruid 8 is Offtopic. Both show in the forum but no separation. Would there be a way to auto-add prefixing of 'gaming' and 'offtopic' respectively to the threads based on the forum they came from?

One other thing I noticed, any idea why the Thread/Replies count on the main forum.php page doesn't update to show how many threads are inside? Or the latest thread? -- I tried rebuilding the threads, and forums counts but neither worked.

You can look in the 3.8.x version thread here:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245414
I have a way for prefixing threads from other forums, on my forum I actually use a mini-version of each forum's status icon so it's definitely possible, unfortunately 4.0.x doesn't use the same variable names in the templates so the code doesn't work on vb4 and I don't have regular access to a 4.0 forum to play around with it, I'm on 3.8. I've got a question open in the vb4 programming section if anyone knows the 'new' ways to access those variables I'll post the code here but so far no answers,

Basically if someone could translate this to vb4 we'd be in business:
Code:
<if condition="($foruminfo[forumid] == 1) AND ($thread[forumid] != 1)">[X]</if>

Yeah this is because the 'real' thread is still in whatever forum it originated in so the statistics don't update- this way the same thread doesn't get counted twice. I imagine similar file edits could be the code where it tallies the number of posts and last post but again I'm sorry I don't have a working 4.0.x forum to play with, I just had temporary access to make sure the original code worked before I posted here.

That's great. Not a problem, figured I'd ask! Thanks for the response. I'll check with a developer on how to translate that to vb4+ if he knows.

Also 'Marked as Installed'.
