[3.0.3] Category Splitting

[CrashPush]

I figured out how to get it back and keep the template modifications. The 3.6.x version of this template modification doesn't work as good as your 3.0.x. Thanks anyway.

[Floris]

The title clearly states this is for 3.0.x, not 3.6.x

I lost the ability to "double click this icon to mark this forum and it's contents as read" after making the template modifications.

Can anyone tell me how to get this to work again?

Here's one way to do it in v3.6.0. No template edits needed:

For 100% css validation remove the <thead> tags in the FORUMHOME first step so... rather than

 <!-- guest welcome message -->
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
</if>
<!-- / guest welcome message -->
<!-- main -->
$forumbits
<!-- /main --> 

Use this instead

<!-- guest welcome message -->
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
<!-- / guest welcome message -->
<!-- main -->
$forumbits
<!-- /main --> 

It validated 100% for me

Fixing problem with subforums not displyaing properly and components floating around

Hi Floris,
Thanks for the tutorial. I managed to get this to work for the fixed width forum of mine no problem; however the subforums are not quite working for subforums with sub categories (see http://www.xecutek.com/testvb/ using my member area username and password; if you cannot access this information, contact me through PM and I'll give you a different username and password for it). Is there a way to make it so that the same will work for subcategories with further subcategories?

Cheers,
Andy Huang

For those who have had problems with subforums not displaying properly (parts of the forum floating around where they are not supposed to be). After looking around the code on a 3.0.7 installation where the page width is fixed I found that modifying the template called "FORUMDISPLAY" was the best way to go.

Try replacing "$forumbits" with

<!-- HACK FOR GETTING SPLIT FORUM WITH CHILDREN TO WORK -->
 <tr>
   <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
     <td colspan="7">
   <else />
     <td colspan="6">
   </if>
 $forumbits
   </td>
 </tr>

Maybe this will help some of you.

[fire27]

yes it works on .0.7 you just may need to play with it a little

[SpaceStar]

Excellent - thank you very much - exactly what I needed on my board

[Hooper]

I just tried to install this on 3.0.7 and it messed up the display. Has anyone verified that this works on latter versions?
