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.

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

You can apply the changes to forumdisplay as well if wanted

@surfhog: this version work better than my old vb2 solution, as with template conditionals and all, there are some improvements to use

@corsacrazy: if you look closer into the construct_column function, you will see, that postcount/threadcount/description is parsed, so you just have to add it to the columncell template and it'll show

cheers one more thing, if i do add the parsed selection u mentioned and the forum is private will ir reconize this and show the private text instead of the info ?

[Xenon]

you could answer this question yourself if you would have looked at the code

PHP Code:

            else if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW) AND $vboptions['hideprivateforums'] == 0)
            {
                $forum['lastpostinfo'] = $vbphrase['private'];
            } 


so yes

Thanks, that worked.

I like this hack , there's one thing i would love to see change in this.

I have a members gallery forum that has just links as sub-forums , can this hack be altered for links as well as forums ?

Would be brilliant as there's about 30 links & have a fair page size.

Cheers
Chris

Well, you know forums can actually be links, so just create some link forums as the subforums.

as you can change the desing within the template, it should be possible as well

Great hack. I got it installed and working on my test boards. Can't wait for the forum image addon.
