un-arranger's subforum Icy Phoenix 1.1.10.25 Screen shot


Arrange Subforum in column (I want like this )

Unfortunately it isn't so easy...

If you are confident with PHP and HTML you may try to modify functions_category_hierarchy.php and index_box.tpl to get what you need.

Good luck.

i will show you..
but i know only to put it vertical--(i dont know yet how to put 2,3 or 4collums ..i think somehow in index_box.tpl but i will try soon)

---

so open functions_categories_hierarchy.php

find

$links .= (($links != '') ? ', ' : '') . $wlast_post . $link;

replace with

$links .= (($links != '') ? '<br> ' : '') . $wlast_post . $link;

find

'L_LINKS' => empty($links) ? '' : ( empty($lang['Subforums']) ? '' : '<b>' . $lang['Subforums'] . ':</b>&nbsp;' ),

replace with

'L_LINKS' => empty($links) ? '' : ( empty($lang['Subforums']) ? '' : '<b>' . $lang['Subforums'] . ':</b><br>' ),

---

now open your index_box.tpl (in your folder theme !!! )

step 1
find

<span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.L_LINKS}&nbsp;</span>

replace with

<span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.L_LINKS}</span>

if you only want to remove title -Subforums:- from forum you dont need to make step 1
step 2
find

<span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.L_LINKS}&nbsp;</span>

delete it !!

i hope this gona help somehow...

and this how it looks with step 1

It works fine whit 3 collums.

Great job !!

@Harimau

To read nicely.
However, could you be so friendly and write how can one create other columns? With the code from Limun i receive only one column with subforums vertically listed.

I found a snippet to get more than one column.

Use the changes that Limun posts only with one change:

Find:


Replace with:

4 can be changed to the number of columns that are wanted

than it looks so:


Indeed, the indicated look is not very nice! With differently long words the lines move.
To fix this in the original snippet they use an table. this is the code there for:


But it doesn`t work - with IP?
Can somebody please help to create a "output-table"?

As I said it is not so easy.

• You should have an intermediate PHP knowledge.
  
• You should have good HTML knowledge and know how table works.
  
• You have to create a subforum counter in the PHP file which generates subforum listing (if I remember well is includes/functions_category_hierarchy.php), so when you have more than X (depends on your taste...) subforums a new row is created.
  
• You have to modify the template file (if I remember well is templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index_box.tpl) inserting a table and a template switch for increasing ROWS and CELLS accordingly.

You can try to verify how album category works depending on how many pictures are set by rows and columns... the logic is the same... you will realize that it is not so easy if you are not confident with PHP and HTML.

I just applied this cosmetic change and it works just fine with version 1.2.0.27c.

Have you done the first version with 4

or the second "With differently long words the lines move"

I think only the second doesn't work

I just followed the steps in this post up above:



Looks good too!

Ah OK, thanks for your answer Chaotic

Moving to General Support as this cosmetic change still works.

That's a great idea.

Chaotic, are those cigarettes, or clothespins?

Yeah, most people might find this very useful!

Those would be permanent markers...Sharpies to be exact.

Hya fellas, Ive done this on my forum and works great, the trouble is I want to put it back to normal as it doesn't appeal much to my users, I thought it would be a simple case of reversing the procedure but It isn't changing back.
I have even re uploaded the original functions_categories_hierarchy.php and index_box.tpl but still no change.
Is there something ells I need to do?
Im using latest IP and prosilver_ip
