You can have as many subforums per parent forum as you want, but only one level deep. You cannot make sub-subforums.

You mean on all forum titlebars, it'll show, in the last column: Subject, poster, rather than date, time, poster?

I'll have a peek. Can you make a list of which configuration options want to be where, i.e: profile or admin sheets. Cheers.

Btw, I'll have a few questions on that latest posts/multiple forums/individual forum counts thing later. That thing becomes more of a nightmare each time I think about it.

That's correct. The $trunc_chars, for example. If that was added to pun_config, it would remove any need for editing of the index.php file manually. Something like o_news_chars = (admin defined integer) in pun_config would be lovely.

Edit: Btw, I'll get that online/offline bit added sometime over the next day or so.

It keeping you busy then?

Have you had chance to check that multiple question/answer code in operation yet? It's only had minimal testing here. I'll get a version of it put together. Do you want me to post it up in this thread?

Plugins are listed on the main download page, not punres.

If you're thinking final, use version 4. I've stripped out all the unnecessary single quotes and full stops, and added  's instead of blank spaces. Just change the number to 4 on the link to download it.

If there's anything else you think of, just build the list up in this thread. Can't say when I'll have chance to get round to attempting the other additions, but I'll have a diddle when I can. No promises that I'll be able to manage 'em though.

You mean like this?

Now that I can understand Bingiman. I'll have a diddle at some of those features over the next few days when I've chance. For now, I've altered the last one slightly:

http://outgoing.bauchan.org/unix/multi-index2.php.txt

You have a single lookup, (a variation of Connors code as I couldn't get his snippet to work, but that may be a pgsql thing, so let me know if it works okay with mysql), which pulls the latest X amount of topics from all designated forums, specified in the script by:

$forumids = array(1,2);

Just use the same comma separation for any further forums you want to add. For example:

$forumids = array(1,2,3,4,5);

There is no per forum limit at the moment.

Changed the $newsdisplay variable to:

$master_limit

Just seemed more relevant if the other changes are doable.

Have got rid of the | - - | if the topic isn't truncated.

Let me know if the sql query works on mysql.

Not trying to crucify you, just to get a specific answer on how exactly you want it to behave.

Anything is possible, (within reason), but the description of how you want it to behave is still vague. It can pull as few or many posts onto the index page as you wish, but you have to decide *which posts* you want on the index page. For example, do you only want the latest posts from the forums overall? Do you, for example, want the last two posts from each forum until X limit is reached? If more forums are designated than total topics allowed, do you want topics total or per forum totals to override one or the other? Honestly, I'm not intending to sound tardy, and apologies if I do, but I still can't visualise exactly what your exact preference is for its behaviour.

Getting it to stick to an overall total is no problem whatsoever. The bit that's vague is exactly how you want it to discriminate on which topics/posts it shows within that total. I'll have a go at getting it doing what you want when I have chance, but the more specific you can be, the better. With that example you gave above, would you want specific totals per forum with no overall total, or an overall total that would override forum totals if it was exceeded, or vice-versa?

The question, though, was simply, can items be displayed from more than one forum. That is a very misinterpretable question. Btw, totally agree on the lookup/query bit. This only started out as helping on the truncation feature, however, not a full rewrite.
