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

i really like this except i would have hoped that it was a little neater... Like the image(status icon) is not in the same place, it varies depending on how much text the category details is, you should make it look nice and maybe fix that? it would be greatly appreciated...here is my site to look at what i mean...http://www.urban-revolution.com/forum/

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<tr align="center">
	  <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
          <td class="thead" width="200">$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>
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>
</table>

This is my code in nopost1, how can i mod this to keep all section aligned but add the required stuff

Just a quick question, would it be possible to edit this hack to put the catergories in colums instead of just forums.

I ask this because i run a forum that deals with trading card games such as yugioh MTG etc and have many catergorys, so i would like to do something like what this hack does but just for catergorys.

Thanks before hand.

I'll throw in $10 if it will encourage Xenon to make this a little faster

( My handy search links won't really work until it's back on forum display... )
