Forum Home Enhancements - Seperate Forum Categories

Separate Forum Categories

• Version: 1.0.1
• Author: RS_Jelle
• Description: This mod separates each forum category on the forum home without any template edits. The category header is added to the top of each separated category. This will be done for ALL the styles on your forum. Have a look at the attached screenshot and everything will become clear if you don't get the point
• Why? I created this mod because someone requested it.
• Limitations:
  1. It's possible that this mod won't work properly on highly customized styles.
  2. The 'Last Post' column can be smaller than normal if the thread titles of the category forums are all small (you can only fix this with a template edit). Have a look at the attached screenshot to see this limitation.

Thx. Jelle works perfekt.

Also i have make the changes from lillylissy, but the columns are not the same in the forums always is lastpost the problem.

Do i missed something?

That's a limitation of doing it with a product file (it's stated clear in the first post), otherwise you need to do some template edits. There are also two template edits mods if you want to fix this, you can find them here and here

[Johnnnie]

Jelle, correct i know that this is a limitation but as i wrote i did make also the changes in the templates as lillylissy wrote on post nr.12.

I hoped that this will fixed the lastpost collumn, perhaps that lillylissy give a reply?

Normally, it should work fine on vB 3.6.2. I've got a clean vB 3.6.2 install and it imports the product without any problems

What's the error it gives on your site?

Which other mods (using plugins) are you using on your forum? I think one of them are causing the incompatibility.

Or have you modified some of the forumhome templates? Try creating a new style to force all the default templates etc.

A small update to make it myself more easier: I moved the version check to the vBulletin.org version check system instead of a file on my own site
