Forums arranged in columns on forumhome + Extra Future

In this hack i just add some extra Future. It was made by Xenon

When we install Forums arranged in columns on forumhome it just show the main Thread name and few people ask me how i customise on my site and show last post and then other forum info. with it..

well it's simple 1st install this hack..

And then login in ur admincp

SKins > Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_columncell

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

Add This After that

<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']"><BR>
<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]">
<div style="clear:both">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Last Post: <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>$lastpostinfo[trimthread]</strong></a>
</div>
<div<if condition="is_browser('ie', 6)"> style="float:$stylevar[left]"</if>>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Posted <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&amp;f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>

-$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">-<span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if></div><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forum Info: Topic: $forum[threadcount]
Post: $forum[replycount]
</if>

and save it... it will work for sure

If u want to add Image next to Topic then add that in discription of forum...

This is my 1 hack and i really don't know how to post he hack so i m just doing w.e i can to help other members...

replace whole forumhome_columncell with :

<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]" width="$column_width">
	<div><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong><U>$forum[title]</U></strong></a>
	</div><blockquote style="margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px;">
	<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if><br>
<if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"><div class="smallfont"><strong><a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></strong></div></if>
<if condition="$forum[link] != ''">
  <else />
  <div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]">$forum[lastpostinfo]</div>Forum Info: Topics: <strong style="font-weight: 400">$forum[threadcount] 
	Posts: $forum[replycount]</strong>
<br /></if></blockquote></td>

[Mr Chad]

this is what i came up with:


as you can see i got the subforums to work, [Live Example]

[AKapadia]

looks hot... nice.. work

[Mr Chad]

What i want to do is make the whole box glow, (by changing the images) if there has been any new threads/posts.

	<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == old OR lock">
	<!-- normal look -->
	</if>
	<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == new">
	<!-- glowing boarder :) -->
	</if>

[ericgtr]

Moved this to template modifications since there are no actual file changes for this specific mod.

[davewolf]

Chad how did you get the subforum text list show ?

What youve done is just what i need as i have lots of sub-forums.

a

	<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == old OR lock">
	<!-- normal look -->
	</if>
	<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == new">
	<!-- glowing boarder :) -->
	</if>

easy, just put the regular code in first if and then dont have the second if just change it to <else /> and put the glow of the code closing it with an </if>

or like this

	<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == new">
glow td here
<else />
old td here
</if>
