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. It is a plain port of my 3.0 version you can find here.

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

Right now, it's just working on forumhome.
I'll add changes for forumdisplay later

This is what i have to keep that in the non column forums but remove it from columned ones.

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if condition="$forum['subforumcolumns'] > 1">
	<tr>
	
<style="border: none; width: 100%;">
			$childforumbits

		</td>
	</tr>
<else />
<tr align="center">
	  <td class="thead" width="30">&nbsp;</td>
	  <td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="125">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="55">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="55">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
	  <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
	  <td class="thead" width="100">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
	  </if>
	</tr>
	$childforumbits
</if>
</tbody>
</if>
</table>

Thanks Veccy. I am testing it on 3.8.0 beta1. Would you please let me know which template to go to in order to remove those?

I am still kinda confuse how to remove those three areas for the subforum column and without affecting other standard one?

Really appreciate your help!

Where it tells you to edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost.

Or PM me the template contents and i will take a look.

Veccy,

Here is the template code for forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
			<if condition="$childforumbits">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			</if>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if condition="$forum['subforumcolumns'] > 1">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<table style="border: none; width: 100%;">
			$childforumbits
</table>
		</td>
	</tr>
<else />
	$childforumbits
</if>
</tbody>
</if>

Modify this will remove those three section on column format but will not change for other standard forums, right?
