Control Forumjump Depth Level

There are currently two settings which affect the display of forum levels, but none of them affects the forumjump box. This hack will add a third option to the Admin control panel, with the role of taking care of the forumjump box depth level.

Highly useful for board with a lot of child forums! Without this hack, all forums are displayed in the forumjump box, thus reducing its effectiveness and attractiveness.

Please post your opinions on this hack, and whether you like it or not. I was discouraged when no one installed my last hack, and it might determine whether I keep releasing hacks in the future...

Thank you!

What's new in version 1.1?
When moving a thread, the target forums list should contain all the forums. This has been fixed in this version. If you have already installed the first version, read the instructions on post #10 in this thread. Otherwise, the attached files are already updated.

Definitely don't get discouraged. This is a great hack and much needed. I was just looking at my forumjump list and it's long and I don't want all those sub-forums. Came here and did a search for forumjump and BAM here is my answer.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...this kicks ass. I've got in excess of 300 forums on one board, and 120+ on the other, and scrolling through all them sucks.


Thanks a lot!

hmmmm....well evidently i am alone here....
i installed it, and all went well.
No problems at all.
No errors.

EXCEPT, that the forumjump when turned on still shows all forums, regardless of the setting

Any ideas??

My install went perfect...I think I installed it and when I reloaded the control panel I got an error but than reloaded again and it never came back and it worked as described.

Much better as my forum list in the jump was way too long and now it's just right!

Thanks for a great hack!

anyone know how to remove it??

[mvigod]

I would follow all the directions but just do it in reverse

I double-checked the install, and I did it just as was written. I'm on version 2.2.5. Instead of getting the admin cp, I get:

Parse error: parse error in /..../....../....../admin/global.php(102) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /...../...../....../...../admin/global.php(102) : eval()'d code:1) in /....../....../...../...../admin/functions.php on line 1546


My index page (not logged in), displays but has this at the top of it:

Parse error: parse error in /...../...../...../global.php(133) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /...../...../...../global.php(133) : eval()'d code:1) in /...../...../...../...../admin/functions.php on line 1546


If you could respond fairly quickly, I'd appreciate it. I can't get to my admin area, and would rather not have to revert my board.

I don't think it is caused by this hack, as it doesn't change anything in the global.php file...?

Anyway, post your global.php file, and someone will certainly help you in no time.
