Forums in columns + Custom forum images

work for me

great mod, thx for share betrocker ;)

@ pmt & Moegames

<-- Censored --> you guy's all thx and coder are in txt, if you don't like, don't post

@ dxbstars & nitins60 & HAiDER

it works, after modification, go to admincp -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager (option "edit forum") and /!\ JUST FOR CATEGORY ( NOT FORUMS)/!\, at the bottom of the page, option " Show Subforums in # of columns " , change the " 1 " by " 2 " (for two columns, or " 3 " for three columns, but two is recomanded lol)

after this it works well, Njoy :P

@ Dutchwii

replace :
Code: 
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forumid.png" alt="" class="ForumImages" />

by :
Code: 
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />


Many thx betrocker ;) (just review your code of template, because is really not good lol (not valid xhtml))

i post my template modif tomrrow :)

(and sorry for my english :s)
 
No problem man...it's possible that code is not good,even tho i didnt write anything,i just put two mods together and change it a little bit...but thanks anyway for corecting mistakes :) and thanks for saving my time to reply to dutchwii.
 
Moegames said:
Its pretty lame when someone takes another person's mod from years ago and makes it as his own..lame, lame, lame

I used this EXACT mod years ago.. i know, because i remember using the coding for many hours trying to make it work.

He just converted it and made it his own.. besides, never use a mod from a person with terrible grammer. This mod does work but its poorly made and work is needed to "MAKE" it work.

That explains why the poster scatted off and has since hid like a little mouse. :D

Peace
Click to expand...

Silly boy, check your own grammar and structure sweetie!


betrocker, this looks very interesting, I'm really looking forward to trying this out myself, thank you very much for sharing this with us darling :-x
 
Umm, i dont know how to say this but i made a very very BAD mistake. I didnt mean to post my comment in this post..i had two browsers opened up and i put my reply in the wrong post..im sincerely sorry for this to the OP, my mistake and im just being man enough to admit that mistake..as its only right i do so

Again, my reply was ment for another person and entirely diffrent post.

EDIT: I just wanted to add one more thing, i have a huge problem with people taking hacks from someone elses hard work and claiming it as their own, thats why i sounded all amped up but i screwed up by hitting the reply button on the wrong post when i had two windows opened up to vbteam.. i feel like an idiot now, i made a mistake, nothing else i can do about it..i already did the damage to someone's feelings already...again, sorry for that. Im not a mean guy..i just stick up for those that deserve their credit
 
hi betrocker, the plugin doesnt work for me :(

first i import the plugin, then

i go to functions_forumlist.php to replace the code as the guide says.

where should i put the instruction:

then add this new function to the file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// ###################### Start construct_forum_columns #######################
function construct_forum_columns($parentid, $columncount)
{
global $vbulletin, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $show;

etc
 
when i edited the php
my forum is showing error and its not working
so i reveresed the code

@ Moegames

you say that you use this mod years ago...can you give me the link to that EXACT mod?!

Btw,i can't see that you have done anything to help people on this forum...have you?

The forums in colums is an old Mod made for vb3.5 and is not been supported since then. I think that is what Moegames ment

Mixtapes

Forum Info: Topic: - Post: -


i want to remove last post, posted by, ...etc under Mixtapes


thanks


EDIT: Nvm i figured it out, all i had to do it edit the forumhome_forumbit_columncell to what i see to be suitable
 
seems lots of people are not successful in making this mod work! I really want to try it out, let me see if it works for me, I am taking a back up anyways for safety lol..
 
I'm guesing that people dont make modifications in right way or not following the instructions complitely.

Have in mind that new function in function_forumlist.php needs to be added at the bigining of the file....maybe that will help...
 
This mod works perfectly fine ...i dont see how people are having issues... i think people should just make sure they are not making mistaks..i have installed this mod on a handful of fresh vb installs already..never a problem

With a bit of tweaking, it works great mate on 3.7.3!

Thankyou very much, ive been trying this for a while now. I would love to know how i can make a small icon change beside the image when there is a new post, as the postmarker function does.

Thanks again

In template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

Code: 
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>

Add after:

Code: 
<if condition="$forum[statusicon]=='new'"><img src="[color=Red]path to ur image[/color]" /></if>

Replace code in red with url for your image for new posts.(ex. images/new_post.gif)

NOTICE: This will add image beside forum name when there is new post in thread...you can add this code where ever you want!
