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

[Xenon]

well, actually the forumdisplay change is optionally, and the forumhome is the default, but if you just change

PHP Code:

THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' 


into

PHP Code:

THIS_SCRIPT != 'index' 


it should do it

Xenon, whats the phrase to display subforums inside a category that uses this hack?

Thanks

[Borgs8472]

Just to say thanks for a great hack, if you're freaked like me that your forums collapse after uploading functions forumlist.php, it's only cause you need to set a forum to columns 1, then it's all fine.

Where?

I have installed the hack but cannot get the forums to expand.

[AlexUK]

how do I make the latest post show in the front page?

look here: www.whitecordcult.com/forums
I want to make the images link to the forum and have the latest thread displayed.
Any help please?

I would like to have the forums and subforums listed in one column on the forum home like this site is this possible with this hack?

[BlackxRam]

Guys... keep this discussion on track... this is about arranging your forums in columns not making posts on the front page. Please SEARCH the forums and make posts in the proper forum, if you cant find it post in the general discussion or make a request. Don't flood this poor guys mod with pointless banter.

huh? ...Im asking about having the forums and subforums listed in one column on the forumhome page like on sitepoint...

[turkforum]

First of all, I thank you a lot Xenon for this hack.. (And for Vbulletin )
I play around my forumhome_forumbit_columncell template with my limited vb and html knowledge..But 2 things I couldn't manage..



1.Can't show how many visitor are browsing the forums..

I tried to add this code to forumhome_forumbit_columncell temp and it didn't show how many users are browsing..

<div>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
</div>

2.Can't put the post colums in onder when different categories sperated..
As it seen in SS..forumhome_forumbit_columncell is here..

<td colspan="65">
		<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

<div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div>


<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']">
<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]">
	<div class="smallfont">
		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" title="<phrase 1="$lastpostinfo[lastthread]">$vbphrase[go_first_unread_in_thread_x]</phrase>"><strong>$lastpostuser[trimthread]</strong></a>

		<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&amp;f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">last post <strong>$vbphrase[by_x]</strong></phrase>
	</div>
	
<div align="$stylevar[right]">
		$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if>

		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0"></a>
	</div>
</div>

<else />

	$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostuser[lastpostuser]</span></if>
</if>
<td class="alt2" colspan="23" border="0"><center>$forum[replycount]</center></td>

To all of my problems,Floris's hack is a kind of solution but i couldn't do it..

do you plan to port it someday to vB3.5 when you are not so busy once?
