MyBB Community Forums

The following will convert this:

Into this:

Template Edits

• forumbit_subforums
  Find:
  

  {$lang->subforums}

  Add After:
  

  <br class="clear" />

• forumbit_depth3
  Replace:
  

  <li class="subforum_columns_{$forum['disporder']}">{$statusicon}<a href="{$forum_url}" title="{$forum_viewers_text_plain}">{$forum['name']}</a></li>

  (Basically wrapping with an LI tag and removing the comma.)
  

Core Edits
./inc/functions_forumlist.php

• Find:
  

  	foreach($fcache[$pid] as $parent)
  	{

  Replace:
  

  	static $subforums_count = null;
  	foreach($fcache[$pid] as $parent)
  	{
  		$subforums_count = null;

• Find:
  

  					eval("\$forum_list .= \"".$templates->get("forumbit_depth3", 1, 0)."\";");

  Replace:
  

  					eval("\$column_list .= \"".$templates->get("forumbit_depth3", 1, 0)."\";");
  
  					isset($subforums_count) or $subforums_count = subforums_count($fcache[$pid]);
  
  					$column_count = (int)$donecount+1;
  					$build_subcolumns = false;
  
  					if($column_count % 3 == 0 || $column_count % 3 == $subforums_count && $subforums_count < 3)
  					{
  						if($column_count % 3 == 0)
  						{
  							$subforums_count -= 3;
  						}
  						else
  						{
  							$subforums_count -= $subforums_count;
  						}
  
  						$build_subcolumns = true;
  					}
  
  					if($build_subcolumns)

  						$forum_list .= "<ul style=\"list-style: none; margin: 0; float:left;\">{$column_list}</ul>";

Patches import XML file:

To change the number of items per row just change the _3_ for any number (four finds) within the last replacement.

I think this is the most reliable method available for show sub-forums in lists.

Would be better to avoid hard-coded HTML but well..

i dont think this workks for 1.83? All i get is "and four more"?

Hello,

I am French, and I apologize in advance, not fully master the English language. (translation with google)

My test forum is version 1.8.4 I applied the changes to this, but it does not work at all. The sub forums remain on a single column.

The patches (xml) does not work either : Failed to import patches. The file contained errors.

The SubForInCols.php plugins do not work either.

Would you please, a solution for this to work?

Thank you a lot.
Sincerely,

it is best way to show in column in MYBB1.8

Kindly please update this one on how to import the xml patch

How i import patch ?
