Subforums on Forumhome (no extra queries Version)

Well, i think most of you know the hack already but with a great ammount of additional queries.

This hack shows on every forum on forumhome (also on categories if you want it so) all it's Subforums.
It works dynamically so whenever you add a forum, it will be added to the list

One disadvantage on having it queryless is, that if you have private subforums below nonprivate mainforums that these will be seen so (not accesable but seen)

Hope it fits in what some of you need

It works fine!! Thanks

This is just I needed.

lifesourcerec: I had the same problem when I installed the hack... try to add the $forum[subforums] code in several forumhome_forumbit_levelx_(no)post

I add the code to
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost

And all works correctly. Try it.

Well, I only want it under "forum description".

"<smallfont color="{categoryfontcolor}">$forum[description] <br>$forum[subforums]</smallfont>

Doesn't show anything.

[FreDy]

Hmm...

I added the code to 'forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost' template only (under forum description) and it doesn't work for me too.
Then I added the same code to several templates (under forum description too) and it works.

I think that 'forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost' isn't the correct template to show the subforums.

Try adding the code to more forumhome_forumbit_levelx_(no)post templates.

Good luck

Yeah, but where (to get it under the forum description)?

[FreDy]

Find in these templates $forum[description] and add $forum[subforum] under it.

as an description for the templatenames:

level1 is over level2 on forumhome
_nopost is for categorie forums
_post ist for normal forums

if you add it to _nopost and your forums on forumhome are no categories, you obviously won't see anything.

standart vb template system, i'd advise you to get familiar with it apart from my hack, because it's usefull to know everywhere

Hmm...this may seem simple but how to you get the "Subforums" to appear in bold? I tried changing it in the forum.php file and nothing happened. Then I totally removed the <br>Subforums part and Subforums STILL stayed. What's the part that needs to be changed?

Also note I don't want the subforum links in bold...

I know that, but I can only find $forum[description] in level2_nopost.

You're supposed to add $forum[subforum] to that template.

The way I believe it is:

forumhome_forumbit_level2_post for REGULAR forum

forumdisplay_forumbit_level2_post for SUB-FORUMS

Editing those files should result in what you're looking for.

[lifesourcerec]

I got it ... now to getting the "subforums:" to be bold...

[Xenon]

@WE and life:
To get the subforums bold you have to edit the part in forum.php and after that, you have to edit a forum to update the cache like you have to do when you first install the hack.
