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..

Yes you can change the number of columsn, it'S an acp option

Hmm, theoretically it's possible to integrate the hack into forumdisplay.php (sub sub forums) as well, but i haven't tested it, and can't test it anymore

I did the mod on 2.3.3, it gave me blank page after that. Not compatible with 2.3.3?

It should work on 2.3.3
Are you sure you installed it correctly?

it's saying i have a parse error on line 399

this is what is there.

PHP Code:

if(strstr(" ".$columnparent." ", " ".$forum['forumid']." ")) {

this line is correct, it may be in the nearer environment of this line..

Ok tried it again
this time got a parse error on line 410
so i copyed a bit over and under the hack itself.

btw im running 2.3.2

PHP Code:

if ( !isset($forum['moderators']) ) {
          $forum['moderators'] = ' ';
        }

        if ($forum['cancontainthreads']==1) {
          $tempext = '_post';
        } else {
          $tempext = '_nopost';
        }

            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")."\";");
          }


          
        if(strstr(" ".$columnparent." ", " ".$forum['forumid']." ")) {
  eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_colbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
 } else {
  eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
}

        }

        if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
     
        }


        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["$forumid"]) ) { 
      } // END if can view
    } // END while ( list($key2,$forum)=each($val1) ) {
  } // END while ( list($key1,$val1)=each($iforumcache["$forumid"]) ) { 


this copied section is about where line 410 is in my index.php.

PHP Code:

}

        }

        if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
     
        }


        if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
          $forumbits.=makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumperms);
        }
