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

Oh man...thanks Veccy!

Worked for me! My code in the first line was just a little different, but I noticed what you did and it worked. Thank you so much for sharing and helping us with this! :up:

I have, im not entirely a noob at this kind of stuff... but for some reason i just cant get this to work.
Ive tried it like 20 times these past couple of days... and a bunch more times about a year ago before i gave up.
I know its all me, because others are not having the issues im having.
Tried it with the instructions found here by you guys, older instructions in this thread, instructions i saw on another vb forum... i disabled my tabs, tried it on 3 different skins including the default skin. Nothing.

So im gonna post here exactly what im doing, step by step.
See if im just missing a step somewhere.



1. Install product-xenon_forumcols.xml through admincp.

2. Download my functions_forumlist.php and do the Find/Change edit per this hacks original instructions.

3. Add the "Add This New Function" part at the very end of the functions_forumlist.php file, but above the box at the end.

4. Upload functions_forumlist.php back to my forum.

5. Go to my forumbit_level1_nopost file and do the Find/Replace edit as per the original instructions.

6. Go to Forum Manager and make subforums appear in 3 columns.

7. As it still did not work at this point, i went and added the contents of post #451 by Veccy in this thread... into my columncell. Still, nothing.

8. I repeat step 5, but this time using the info provided by Veccy in post #452. Still, nothing.


So, am I missing a step?

Does anyone know how to make this display in a vertical alphabetic order?

A D
B E
C F

Instead of

A B
C D
E F

[GlamRockTalk]

djxcee,

You could simply change the display order in the forum manager main screen of the subforums.

Does anyone has already tryed this mod on vB 3.8.0?

I did change the display order but it doesn't show in a vertical alphabetic structure.
