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

Screenshots below.

Design can be changed in templates..

I'm using a 2.3.2.. When I load the main forum page, well, nothing loads LOL its completly blank o_O I think it must be the Index.php.. Anyone had a similar problem?

[dniMTheory]

I got this to wrk in 2.30. It should work in 2.32 also I would think.

I used a combo of Mr. P's version and Xenon's version

For colforumtableheader i modified my "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template a little and pasted it. It works fine with my style(ekko) but I couldnt use the variables, I had to hard code the forum title and link.

File index.php of me: no have this code:
global $bbforumview;

only have:
global $DB_site,$bbuserinfo,$iforumcache,$ipermcache,$imo dcache,$session,$accesscache,$ usergroupdef,$noperms;
global $showlocks,$hideprivateforums,$showforumdescriptio n,$forumhomedepth,$dateformat, $timeformat,$enableaccess;

Is it possible to have this working on forumdisplay as well as index?

I also have the category sponsors hack installed, and here's that section of code from my index.php:

PHP Code:

if ($forum['sponsorimg'] && $forum['cancontainthreads']==0 && $depth==1) {
         eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost_sponsor")."\";");
        } else {
//         eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
        if(strstr(" ".$columnparent." ", " ".$forum['parentid']." ")) {
         if($colsdone!=1) {
            $colsdone=1;
            $colcounter=1;
            eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("colforumtableheader")."\";");
         } else {
            $colcounter++;
            if($colcounter%($forumcols+1)==0) {
             $forumbits .= "</tr><tr>";
             $colcounter=1;
            } 
         } 
         $width="width=".(100/$forumcols)."%"; //take out if you want variable column widths 
         eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("colforumbit")."\";");
        } else {
         if($colsdone==1) {
            $colsdone=0;
            $colcounter=0;
            eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("colforumtablefooter")."\";");
         }
         eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
        }
        }
        if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
         $forumbits.=makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumperms);
        }
     } // END if can view
    } // END while ( list($key2,$forum)=each($val1) ) {
} // END while ( list($key1,$val1)=each($iforumcache["$forumid"]) ) { 


Is that right?

Thanks for the hack!

Alternativly, its on line 4
