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

Try to do the file edit again of functions_forumlist.php

I tried to do it twice last night, I'll try again...

Do you go to ftp, and then includes and open the functions_forumlist.php?

[jluerken]

Can this be ported to 3.7 without the need to do file edits and using the new hooks?

[Hoffi]

I think not.

[soundbarrierpro]

This is where the function goes

then add this new function to the file:

The "Add new Function" code goes at the very bottom of the functions_forumlist.php file right before this <?

^^ well yeah it does go above the <? part but above that you have this rectangle box with text inside it showing what time the mod was downloaded I think and something about CVS and Revision? Anyhow, the text you're talking about goes ABOVE that rectangle section and just below:

	}
	
	return $forumbits;
}

I can confirm that this is fully working on vBulletin 3.7.0 as I just upgraded from 3.6.8 and installed this

[koolfire]

This doesnt work on 3.6.8 :'( Please guys i need this hack badly!

[Hoffi]

Ths Hack works on all 3.6 and 3.7

[shadowevil]

I hack work on all 3.6.x , b 3.7.x and show forumdisplay in forumhome

[datruth55]

Is there a way to show columns in the forumdisplay view? In other words, if I click on a catagory it will take me to a sub-forum view with all the sub-forums listed underneath. Can I change that view to a column view like this hack does on the Index page?
