Like the forum categories are on one side of every post, can somebody make a MOD to do this.

These left sided categories should be visible on every page.

Hello,

You will have to create a new .html file in the template path of your style.

create forumlist_side.html

Code: Select all

<div class="forabg">
<div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
<h4>{L_FORUMS}</h4>
<!-- BEGIN forumrow -->
<!-- IF forumrow.S_IS_CAT -->
	&bull; <a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}"><b>{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</b></a><br />
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF not forumrow.S_IS_CAT -->
	&#8249; <a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}">{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><br />
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- END forumrow -->
<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
</div>

Then you will have to make it show up on all pages.
open index_body.html
find:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE forumlist_body.html -->

Replace with:

Code: Select all

<table width="100%" callspacing="5">
<tr>
<td width="15%" v-align="top"><!-- INCLUDE forumlist_side.html --></td>
<td width="95%"><!-- INCLUDE forumlist_body.html --></td>
</tr>
</table>

That will make it show up on the Index, you will then also have to do it on viewtopic_body and viewforum_body, but it will not display all forums. Only the ones inside that forum and it will display no forums at viewtopic. Not sure how to do that.

Regards,
