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

then add this new function to the file:

i not understand. are you one example to show?

editing file includes/functions_forumlist.php change ok

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
            {
                $childforumbits = construct_forum_columns($forum['forumid'], $forum['subforumcolumns']);
            }
            else if ($subsonly)
            {
                $childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], 1, $subsonly);
            }
            else if ($depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH)
            {
                $childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], $depth, $subsonly);
            }
            else
            {
                $childforumbits = '';
            } 


but where add this new function to the file? functions_forumlist.php help please?

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start construct_forum_columns #######################
function construct_forum_columns($parentid, $columncount)

I am trying to get this to work. I have installed everything I think the way that I am supposed to. But I still don't get any changes. I have the Show Subforums in # of columns in my admin cp, but when I change it, the subforums don't show up. My site is www.rpg-gamers.net/vpratice

[michael5472]

I am still getting the same as the above post any help would be appericated

[Xenon]

did you do the template changes, as well as uploaded everything correctly?

did you change the corrects' forums setting.
you have to change the category, not the forum which should be in a column.

This hack never worked for me also.
In the end I had to get someone to edit my style to make it work.
I dont think all styles work with this hack.

[Xenon]

well, custom styles have custom templates, and custom templates can not be included into hacking instructions, we can just tell what you have to do on a plain vb
