Topic: Grouping topics in one forum?

Hoping that "grouping" is not a bad word, I want to ask this possibilities.


For example:

You have fishing forum. In forum is about 70 topics.

There is 5 topics about ice fishing, 7 topics about diferent fish, 4 topics about spinigs, 6 topics about fishing places, 4 topics about sea fishing, etc.

But You do not want to split all this in 20 subforums.

Is there a mod, in which You could group topics?

So in this forum would be:

5 stickies
a) Dark green color group of 7 topics about diferent fish.
b) 5 light blue topics about ice fishing
c) 4 yellow topics about spinnigs
d) 4 dark blu topics about sea fishing
e) 6 brown topics about fishing places

etc...


Or instead of color put them is small border boxes.

It would be like subforums, but they would be opened and not just subforum name...

Is there something this kind modification?

The color thing it's pretty easy to implement if you know a bit of php.

I don't know about any mod that does that  though.

Re: Grouping topics in one forum?

there is a french mod that allows you to add a colored tag to the topic titles, its principle is close to what you want : http://www.punbb.fr/mods/mod.php?id=65

Thanks, but color is least problem. More important is grouping of topics.

He siad he didnt want to, becasue then you will have 20 sub forums.

i dont know if it will work, or even what this is what you wanted, but.

they select what catagory it is in when they are posting, (edit the post.php and edit.php) and they use a colour chart and/ or create groups and just to a mysql query basicly if topic group is say 2 ( 2 = sea fishing) will put it into catagory sea fishing

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.

Well, I have very litle knowledge about editing. I even did not understood what excactly You are proposing. :-(

But I think that maybe what I want could be done by creating others "stickies".

Now there is "sticky" and that all. But what if there would be "sticky", then is made anothers "stickies" ("stickies1", "stickies2" etc, whose ir called "1", "2" etc.). And they are in their order below original "stickies". And such some 5-10 "stickiesX" would give needed possibilietes.

But how color is given to topics, I understand.
