Subforum Changes In ForumDisplay

**ArnyVee** · 12-16-2008, 08:10 AM

I'm trying to do something to organize things and make the subforums display in a user-friendly manner as well.

Here's my URL: Glam Rock Bands - Glam Rock Talk

I'm hoping to possibly have a tabbed approach to these subforums and group the band names alphabetically with tabs (A-E, F-J, etc). Where within forumdisplay.php should I edit and add the tabbed approach?

I want to add an "If conditional" so that this 'tabbed' approach only happens within this forum, so I could use some help with that as well.

Any thoughts?

I believe there is a Modification on vbulletin.org that would do all this, but I am not positive.

Andy, there is a tabbed forum home mod which is something that I'll be adding to my WaltDisneyBoards.com site, but I haven't seen one for the FORUMDISPLAY.

I have added the mod where you pull all the threads from the subforums into that one forum in anticipation of getting this tabbed approach done. That one is here: Show all subforum threads in main forum for vB3.7.x (no extra queries) - vBulletin.org Forum

But, if you happen to see a mod that would help me with the subforums Andy, please point me that way!

Ah, I missed that you wanted it tabbed.

I'm sure there is a way to do it, wish I could help you out more but this was the mod I was talking about
Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager - vBulletin.org Forum

Andy, I have that mod on another forum.

I don't want to organize on the forum home, I want the sub-forums to display on the forumdisplay.php and to get them to be tabbed in groups. As it is now, it shows as a LONG list of 56 subforums with the threads at the bottom of all of that.

Yeah, I read it over again and realized what you meant.

I'm not sure if there are any modifications like that or if you'd need to get something custom-coded.

I'm sure you've thought of this, and its not exactly what you want to do, but you can create a sub-forum named "A-E", then inside that have the list of bands from A to E

If you're set on the tabbed stuff, you can try messaging the author of that tabbed homepage and see how much they'd charge if no one here can help you out.

Yup...I actually got that suggestion from someone else as well. So, worst case, I have something that I can do without altering things too much.

Although, I'd love to have it done with a tabbed approach.
