Sub Forum Mod 1.0 (Page 3 of 6)

Hi,
it still doesnot work.

I go to the
adminstration area
Forums
will edit a forum
and get
this message:

Bad request. The link you followed is incorrect or outdated.

What could I do to run the subforum mod.
I'm using 1.2.14
and subforum 1.0.4
I had checked all settins now twice.

All other forums functions are working,
only the edit function

there should be something wrong in the admin_forums.mod but I'm block to see it.
Could somebody give advice ?

Is there a working link to this mod in action somewhere?

Also, has anyone gotten it to work, specifically with 1.2.14?

Hi Notch,
here you can see the subforums mod working

http://galopp-sport.eu/forumgalopp/upload/forum.php in combination with collapse [klick here] of categories like "Throughbred Racing" you find the topics "race tracks" and below that are the subforums for different countries.

Have a look at jump to at the foot und you will see the levels at which category you will find subforums

Sub Forum Mod v.1.0.5

         History:
                    Fixed by Timpa
                      in version 1.0.5
                       - Correctly sorting subforums
                       - Now showing last post as it should
                    Fixed by NeoTall (Rus):
                      in version 1.0.4
                       - Fixed items in combobox "Select where to search"
                      in version 1.0.3
                       - Fixed search in SubForum when using "Non-MultiByted" language
                      in version 1.0.2
                       - Correctly displaying Last Post, Last Poster and Last Posted Time
                       - Correctly displaying Total Topics and Total Posts
                      in version 1.0.1
                       - Correctly creating Last Post link
                       - Correctly displaying word "Topics" on SubForum header

I suggest a sorting style like this:

Parent forum 1   [disp_position=100]
  Child forum 1   [disp_position=101]
  Child forum 2   [disp_position=102]
  Child forum 3   [disp_position=103]
  Child forum 4   [disp_position=104]
Parent forum 2   [disp_position=200]
  Child forum 1   [disp_position=201]
  Child forum 2   [disp_position=202]
  Child forum 3   [disp_position=203]
  Child forum 4   [disp_position=204]

Makes a easy overview...

Sub Forum Mod 1.0.6 w/ Index View

1.0.6 w/ listing of sub forums on Forum Index, like at le forum du SOMB.

All credit to nico_somb for this feature as it is just taken from his version and modified a tiny bit to work with this one. Sub Forum Mod is copyright of pabb.

To make this change manually after you have applied the 1.0.6 (posted earlier without this), do the following:

#
#---------[ 3. REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------
#
 $forums_info = $db->query('SELECT num_topics, num_posts, parent_forum_id, last_post_id, last_poster, last_post, id, forum_name FROM '.$db->prefix.'forums WHERE id='.$i) or error('Unable to fetch sub forum info',__FILE__,__LINE__,$db->error());

yeah, i am aware of that but that is a different version to this Sub Forum Mod i believe? it is also in French and not updated since May last year it appears.

Huge thanks to all the people who have kept/brought this mod up to date.
It's very useful for an old site of mine that has a huge no. of forums.

You can delete the files from your cache folder manually, or grab the "Clear Cache" plugin from the downloads page.

Yes, BUT DO NOT DELETE the undex.html or the .htaccess files!  ;^)

I can't seem to find a file called cache.php as per the readme.txt file. Any ideas?

Thanks

wow! It is actually in there and I looked over and over. Thank you!

Something is not quite right with this mod. I created (2) sub-forums and made myself moderator of 1 but yet when I check it, I am listed as moderator of both. However, if I go my profile under "Administration" the box is not checked. Has anyone noticed this before or is there a way to resolve this issue?

Update: What I have noticed in my case is this: I have 2 sub-forums. If I check off #1 as moderator it then makes me moderator of #1 and #2. If I check off just sub-forum #2, then it does not check off sub-forum #1 so there definitely is a bug here. Hope I explained myself properly.

Thanks
