It cuts off the frist few letters near the bottom of my box.

Other then that I like it, guess it has room for style adjustments.

Thank You

Yes.... I have the same problem

thanks....

[hqtrung]

okie, i can see that problem.
It's CSS problem because I was using a CSS list. It's display OK with Firefox. I will check it on IE.

Doesnt look like an error now. On my living room PC it looks just fine but my bedroom PC it is a little off.

PS, (lol)

I am not getting mysite.com/forums

Need my forums in the URL there.

[Flow Fusion]

Thanks works great.

[Souli]

Very useful - works without any problems .. Thx

[AndyA]

Anyone have a demo or a screenshot ?

Anyone have a demo or a screenshot ?

You can see mine at www.cecilcountyx.com BUT the links are not going to my forums.

[Cyricx]

Just zippin by, but I'll guess that this


$ret.= "<a href='forumdisplay.php?f=$forumid'>"." $forum[title_clean]\n";


Needs to be changed to


$ret.= "<a href='$vboptions[bburl]/forumdisplay.php?f=$forumid'>"." $forum[title_clean]\n";


or if that don't work then


$ret.= "<a href='http://www.cecilcountyx.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=$forumid'>"." $forum[title_clean]\n";


Should certainly work.

[FleaBag]

So I just uplaod the module in CMPS and that's it?

Hey thanks man! That worked and is all good now.

[FleaBag]

Can I restrict this to a specific category?

[grains]

Hi, how do we use this?

[eden]

Yeah how you install this?

[grains]

never mind.....i cleaned it up...

[grains]

I keep getting "the file you have uploaded is not a valid module file.... :( any ideas?

[grains]

well....i finally got it to upload....the admin username had an apostrophe in it, so it was the reason for the above error....

HOWEVER......the forumlist still doesnt show a list of forums....it just shows the header....

I'm thinking it's because I'm running VB 3.0.3 :confused:

any help?

[Praet0rian]

Mine works, but every forum has "BB" before it on the list...

[grains]

Are you using VB 3.0.3? And if so, did you follow these directions specifically or was there something else that you did?

[Synth]

Hey thanks man! That worked and is all good now.


where might you find that code?

[agiacosa]

Can someone please take a look at this and see how to not show sub-forums?

Thank you.

I have the same problem...

[CommunityZ]

Anyway to get rid of the BB 0 things infront of the forum title? I am using vb3.5.1 and vBadvanced CMPS v2.0.0

sorry had to upload it in .zip because

"The Dimension limits for this filetype are 620 x 280. We were unable to resize your file so you will need to do so manually and upload it again. Your file is currently 166 x 456."

[Hengis]

I still can't get this to work - VB Admin just keeps saying "this file is not a valid module" - HELP!! :)

[blitzburgh]

Is there any solution to the forums being off the list the farther they get down the page? Or can you trim them someway to get rid of the sub forums?

Thanks

Im using 3.5 and followed the directions exactly.

I'm having this problem in IE, anyone have a solution?

[jfreundn]

Why can't I upload the forumlist_module for the 1st thread? Do I need to do something to the file 1st?

Thanks,
John

I used vBa CMPS in the Admin and hit Download/Upload module and browse to the forumlist.module file on your computer, upload, then it should install.

[jfreundn]

I tried that, thats when I get the following error message:

"The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file"

[led_belly]

For those of you getting the "The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file" message when trying to upload this module, this is what I did to get it working:

Step One: I created a plugin in the global_start hook with the following code from the module Huynh Quang Trung posted:


//++=========================================================================++
// || Module: Forum list on portal for vBadvanced Portal 2.0
// || Author: Huynh Quang Trung (hqtrung at gmail dot com)
// ||
// || http://vnsolutions.net
// ||
// ||
// ++ ========================================================================++
function construct_forum_list($parentid = -1, &$ret, $permission = '')
{
global $vbulletin;
global $stylevar, $vbphrase, $defaultselected;
if (!($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['forumpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']))
{
return;
}
if (empty($vbulletin->iforumcache))
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumlist.php');
cache_ordered_forums(1, 1);
}
if (empty($vbulletin->iforumcache["$parentid"]) OR !is_array($vbulletin->iforumcache["$parentid"]))
{
return;
}
$ret.= "<ul>\n";
foreach($vbulletin->iforumcache["$parentid"] AS $forumid)
{
$forumperms = $vbulletin->userinfo['forumpermissions']["$forumid"];
if ((!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) OR !($vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['showonforumjump']) OR !$vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['displayorder'] OR !($vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['active']))
{
continue;
}
else
{
$forum = $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"];
$ret.= "<li>\n";
$ret.= "<a href='forumdisplay.php?f=$forumid'> $forum[title_clean]</a>\n";
construct_forum_list($forumid, $ret, $forumperms);
$ret.= "</li>\n";
} // if can view
} // end foreach ($vbulletin->iforumcache[$parentid] AS $forumid)
$ret .= "</ul>\n";
return $ret;
}
$adv_portal_forumlist = "";
$adv_portal_forumlist = construct_forum_list(-1, $adv_portal_forumlist);

Note that I made a few changes to correct some problems w/ the code. I added the missing </a> to close the href tag. I also removed the eval/fetch_template line and moved the <div> to the template (see next step).

Step Two: I then created a custom template and inserted the following.

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<!-- forum list -->
<div id="moduleforumlist">$adv_portal_forumlist</div>
<!-- / forum list -->
</td>
</tr>


Step Three: I created a new template module including the template above.

And that's it!

Note: You'll notice I used some custom CSS in my template. You can add the following to 'Additional CSS Definitions' in Style Options or create your own changing the id in the div. My changes to the CSS haven't been tested and I'm not sure if li:before and content: work in IE but '\BB' is the CSS equivilant to &raquo; (used by vbadvanced). Anyway, the CSS is yours to play with :)

#moduleforumlist ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
padding-left: 1em;
text-indent: -1em;
}

#moduleforumlist li {
list-style-image: none;
list-style-type: none;
}
#moduleforumlist li a:active, #moduleforumlist li a:visited, #moduleforumlist li a:link {
text-decoration:none;
}
#moduleforumlist ul li:before {
content: "\BB";
}

[restless]

anyone know how i can get this to NOT display the forum categories?

[mr_enix]

this **** still don't work for me

[redspider]

For those of you getting the "The file you have uploaded is not a valid module file" message when trying to upload this module, this is what I did to get it working:

led_belly how did you call the template ?
did you still use the file from this hack?

ty

[led_belly]

I called the template in Step Three when I created a new (template-based) module...

did you still use the file from this hack?
The forumlist.module file? No. If you follow the instructions above you don't need it anymore.

[blitzburgh]

I Love it led_belly. Is there anyway to make the font smaller? Otherwise you did a great job. Here is a pic of my right forum sidebar top, I just need the font a little smaller. Thanks again!

[skizzy203]

In IE... everything looks peachy.

In Firefox however, I am getting the above mentioned

BB[]0

As a bullet to the forum list.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

[blitzburgh]

Actually what I did after the last post was add the Step Three code to the Main Css to take away the text style, and it got rid of the bullets and I think it looks better, and not off the page anymore. Not sure how FireFox works.

[michaelbenson]

Does anyone know if this is possible to develop further to actually display the forum status icon too? Or perhaps to display individual forums based off a template which would contain the desired look for the forums to be listed as?

[XtAzY]

is there a way to not list the Category names? I also want to show only one section of the forum with its subforums, not the entire forum.

[pipedreams]

I attach here a version that works on vb 3.5.3 and vBadvanced CMPS 2.1.0
(forumlist.module)

I also attach a variation of the above (addnewthread.module) which still gives a forum listing, but when you click on a forum it will bring you to a new thread of that forum instead.
(its still not perfect as it will list categories and will not link right if you can't post ion that category)

Hope these are helpful to people. :)

[CnB]

is it possible to remove the BB infront of each section ?
and can a option be made so you choose what section is displayed ?

[maartenvr]

Where do I find the CSS to edit this? I guess for #custom ?

Search for it in styles & templates -> adv_portal_forumlist
Just delete it.
Looks way better in FF.
Also, a friend of mine is busy making the site w3c compliant and he found 51 errors (on my site) in forumlist.php and solved it.
I don't know if anyone wants it, but i'll attach the w3c compliant version.

[993ti]

1 error left in forumlist.php for w3c compliancy.
Attachement above updated.

[XtAzY]

hey is there anyway i can edit the module where it only display a section of a forum i choose? Cuz i have a forum where it has many subforums and i want to list those subforums instead of other forums

[XtAzY]
