Seperate Forum Categories · **Released**: 08-10-2006

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.

That's a vBulletin problem then, not a problem of this mod normally

Do you get a specific error message or something like that?

These fixes seems to post the entire hack again as template mods.

Short of uninstalling this addon and using one of the other hacks, what mods do we need to make (with this addon installed) to make all of the columns match up? (The sizes are all off on the "last post" column).

Particularly beautifully: It is valid XHTML!

Find in:
- FORUMDISPLAY
- FORUMHOME
- forumhome_seperate_forumcats

PHP Code:


			
    <tr align="center">

      <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>

      <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>

      <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>

      <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>

      <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

      <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">

      <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>

      </if>

    </tr>

And replace it with (for example):

PHP Code:


			
     <tr align="center">

      <td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>

      <td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>

      <td class="thead" width="35%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>

      <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>

      <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

      <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">

      <td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>

      </if>

    </tr>

Notice how not all of the table cells (<td> tags) have width attributes. You need to give each cell a width attribute, and the total widths need to equal 100% of the horrizontal space. Percentages work well for this.

Kind Regards

I did this and only the main category get the right width for it column, other category column width are mess up
