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

When I was pasting the code changes in, I duplicated the following code by not pasting on the correct line. :nervous:

Removed the dup code and I can now collapse/expand catagories.

Thanks!

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">

[Indy]

To give the columnized catagory a similar look as my regular catagories, I added one small bit of code to the level1_nopost template.

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">

<if condition="$forum['subforumcolumns'] > 1"> 
<tr>
    <td class="thead" width="100%">By Manufacturer</td>
</tr>

nice additions

[surfhog]

forgive me for asking has the image addition part been written yet?

as i said in a previous post, i do like this modification and i am waiting for the image part LOL

[NTLDR]

The image is just a template conditional:

<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == X"><img src="x" alt ="zx" /></if>

[Blackbeard]

Are we going to get the image addon for this one?

[Xenon]

as it's just a template edit as NTLDR posted, the answer is no

if you don`t mind to change first post attachements for us, couse after installation got a lot of trouble and need to go check topic to fix it...

Thanks!

erm, no i won't change the hack instructions, as the hack is working, if you apply any of the additional things within this threads, you have to do that on your own risk, as it's not part of my hack and therefore not beeing added to the instructions

[M.C.]

ok, got it now... sorry!
