Subforum ID on Index

[Farraday]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to style individual subforum links on the index. Is there a way to get the actual subforum ID to print so that I can add it to the class names (eg, subforum-40)? {S_FORUM_ID} prints 0 by default on the index.

Thanks in advance!

You are in a subforum within this topic. In the breadcrumb above hover over 'phpBB Custom Coding'

The link should show in the bottom left of your screen on hover. The f=641 is this FORUM_ID number.

Thanks, but I'm not looking for the subforum ID number, I'm wanting to know how to get that individual number to print in the code, on the index. Using {S_FORUM_ID} on the index returns a value of 0 for all subforums, regardless of their actual ID number.

In the forumlist_body.html template you have to add the FORUM_ID between the BEGIN and END tags using {forumrow.subforum.FORUM_ID} like this.

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN subforum -->
	<!-- EVENT forumlist_body_subforum_link_prepend --><a href="{forumrow.subforum.U_SUBFORUM}" class="subforum<!-- IF forumrow.subforum.S_UNREAD --> unread<!-- ELSE --> read<!-- ENDIF -->" title="{% if forumrow.subforum.IS_LINK %}{{ lang('FORUM_LINK') }}{% elseif forumrow.subforum.S_UNREAD %}{{ lang('UNREAD_POSTS') }}{% else %}{{ lang('NO_UNREAD_POSTS') }}{% endif %}">
		<i class="icon <!-- IF forumrow.subforum.IS_LINK -->fa-external-link<!-- ELSE -->fa-file-o<!-- ENDIF --> fa-fw <!-- IF forumrow.subforum.S_UNREAD --> icon-red<!-- ELSE --> icon-blue<!-- ENDIF --> icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i>{forumrow.subforum.SUBFORUM_NAME}-{forumrow.subforum.FORUM_ID}</a><!-- IF not forumrow.subforum.S_LAST_ROW -->{L_COMMA_SEPARATOR}<!-- ENDIF --><!-- EVENT forumlist_body_subforum_link_append -->
<!-- END subforum -->

To list the FORUM_ID for a forum in that template you would use {forumrow.FORUM_ID} like this.

Code: Select all

<a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumtitle">{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}-{forumrow.FORUM_ID}</a>
<!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_DESC --><br />{forumrow.FORUM_DESC}<!-- ENDIF -->

In a class (eg, class="subforum-{forumrow.subforum.FORUM_ID}")

you can also use the href attribute to style them f.e

Code: Select all

.subforum[href*="f=691"] {
    color: blue;
}

each link ends with unique number you can use it to target specific links

Hello, only as a supplement. It is worth a try to use the "Jumpbox on Index" extension. Please test whether this variant of the output of forums and subforums is suitable for you.
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... _on_index/

BTW: I am not sure if I have understood your question correctly. Maybe the extension is a help or a different approach to output forums and subforums on index. Although the extension is more extensive, from my point of view it fulfils its purpose or perhaps the desired requirements in terms of content.

Many regards

Yeah, unfortunately, {forumrow.subforum.FORUM_ID} does not print on the index. it ends up as class="subforum-". Thank you for trying, though!

I had a sinking feeling I would need to use the link, because of course that prints just fine!

Thanks!
