CSS - Sub-Forum-List in Columns · **Released**: 06-28-2005

For vb3.5.x --> vb3.6.x

Tested and working on Firefox, Safari and IE6.

What this does:
It converts the sub-forum-list into a unordered list, then by using CSS arranges the sub-forums into columns.

The columns are liquid - number of columns depends on browser-window-width or page width. The column width is set in the CSS.

Note that you need to enable sub-forums in your ACP.

3 CSS class definition added.
8 template edits.

See the zip for further instructions / full details.

Enjoy!

Update: v2.

Class attribute moved from <li> to <ul> element, and you now get full control through the stylesheet.
A clear:both style added below the list to constrict the floats, so that you can put stuff beneath the list.

Update:

Works for vb3.6.x with no changes.
Added .txt to textfile

When you upgraded, did you revert all of your templates (if it recommended that you do so)? If not, you should probably do that, then redo the template changes.

I didn't revert header and footer, but I reverted all the other ones. And then I installed it from start up.

Same output on forumhome, it shows one column. The strange part is that this only appears on the first level of subforums. On the second level they are shown in tho columns!?!

vB Version: 3.5.2

This did the trick! Previously, I didn't revert all of them.

Goto
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options

Change the subforum depth on FORUMHOME to 2

Other than the commas being missing it doesn't seem to have changed anything

And changing the '170px' to something else doesn't change anything either

Can someone help with some suggestions please? :ermm:

How would we add a fieldset to this?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
