[DISC] Improved pseudo sub-forums MOD 1.0.6

Post by niekas »

I posted originally this in harishankar's thread, but people were asking for support via PM's. Since harishankar abandoned this mod i thought i'll post iit as new.

Pseudo attached subforum mod allows you to have simple subforums one level deep:

Code: Select all

Forum 1
 |____ Forum 2 (subforum of forum 1)
 |____ Forum 3 (subforum of forum 1)
[1.0.6]
[x] Display parent forum in navigation bar in viewforum.php, viewtopic.php and posting.php
[x] Admin panel displays tree of parent/child subforums
[x] improved sepration of content and logic in index.php (thanks Merri)


[1.0.5]
[x] EasyMod Compatible
[x] Improved Admin backend

[1.0.4]
[x] Detect new posts on children forums when viewing parent forum

[1.0.3]

[x] Displays last topic title on index and subforums.
[x] Combine subforum post/topic count together with parent forum stat count
[x] Display newest post on index as if subforums/parent forum were single forum

[1.0.2]
[x] optimized for mysql (removed querries inside the loops )
[x] added indicator to display if there are new posts on index
[x] Added last post link on subforums on viewforum.php
[x] doesn't querry mysql on viewforum.php if forum has no attached subforums

Code: Select all

##********IMPORTANT *****
## Execute this query from phpMyAdmin because Easy Mod can't handle it for some reason
##

 ALTER  TABLE  `phpbb_topics`  ADD  INDEX (`topic_last_post_id`);
or you can use this script to execute above query (if you don't have phpMyAdmin):

Hi, thanks for reposting it :) really is a great mod.

Ive got a slight problem though, for some reason my page headings have question marks either side of the text:

�Forum� �Topics� �Posts� �Last Post�

Though when I installed the forums on my localhost (simply by downloading the files) , the question marks disappear?

Secondly, is it possible to have the 'Last Post' counter to also include the subforums post count, and also the title of the posts last posted within the forums rather than just the date and posters name?

Cheers!

Any demo?

From the sound of this mod, I think I will prefer it over the C.H. subforums. Seems like it will not interfere with alot of mods. So that sounds good. :D

hi there,

maybe we can combine your MOD with my "Attached Forums Pro" which was also developped upon harishankars MOD.

Would be great if you could PM me your opinion about this!

thanks,

Johny

instakked this manually on a clean 2.0.13, but i'm getting an error in index.php
can't really see where it's gone wrong

Code: Select all

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/cherokee/public_html/forums/index.php on line 506
my 506 to 509 is this:

Code: Select all

else
{
	message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['No_forums']);
}
so it must be something further up. i converted my index.php file to text here if you want to have a look :)

Is there a semicolon on 505 or 504?

Is it table headers (gold color font)?
Secondly, is it possible to have the 'Last Post' counter to also include the subforums post count, and also the title of the posts last posted within the forums rather than just the date and posters name?

Should be very simple. I'll include it in the next update.
