Forums arranged in columns on forumhome · **Released**: 01-08-2004

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

Anytime Xenon, im just trying to get active again like i used to be

Xenon · #**204** 07-15-2004, 08:41 PM

Very good, so i can lay back as i used to be ^^

excellent hack, working flawlessly here, install was smooth too

...however, and i bet you knew this was coming, right? however, the code changes posted for the forumdisplay.php pages do not work (or at least, i cannot get them to work). is there any chance that someone who has got it to work (or just knows how to do it) could post the definitive code changes for that please?

thanks in advance

I have a slight problem or two I don't have any last posts or forum headers....and I use this twice on the board both with two columns...however one set of forums has the left column about 56% - 44% width and the other 35% - 65% width...any ideas please....

Xenon · #**207** 07-16-2004, 04:45 PM

have you touched the template code?

be sure width="$column_width" is in your td tag, to make sure the columns will be equal.

funfone · #**208** 07-16-2004, 05:13 PM

Tks for the ="$column_width" clue

I added this width="5%" to the forumhome_forumbit_columncell

Not too sure why it works but it does a treat

Still searching for the 'Forum' & 'Post' Titles to be displayed ..

look through the thread, i think someone posted it already

I've been trying to do this also, but haven't had any luck yet..

Xenon originally suggested that this line (functions_forumlist.php);

Code:

			if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))

Could be changed to this;

Code:

			if ($forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))

Then once similar changes had been made to the FORUMDISPLAY template to what had been done with the forumhome, it should work..

I haven't had any success with this though..
