Subforum Panel

[DanLai]

Description. This is a Mod to make sub-forums appear in a small panel that can be toggled on and off. I just feel the Subforum Drop-down Menu (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=99821) mod is not enough so I have made this one. Select either one as your liking!! :rolleyes:


The state of on/off is saved in cookies
Hierachy show for at most 2 level of sub-forums

Would it be possible to turn Show forum list into Hide forum list once it's open?

[BoYagoob]

Very Nice :)

[Odysseus]

Though that is not suitable for my own board, I can imagine it to be useful for many people.
Thanks for sharing.

[Wordplay]

[Smiry Kin's]

[MentaL]

wow o_o

[yukayumi]

Nice hack,thanks.But one question: there's a "Done but with error on pages" in the bottom of my forumhome (but not in forumdisplay).It's really bugging me with that error.Anyone with the same problem or is it just only me?

[sportsoutlaw]

I like this hack. If my forum gets to where I have a large amount of sub-forums, I may go with this. for now, I will use the columns hack.

Nice Job

[kartik786]

Can you tell me Step 4. Open:
Common Templates

Common templates exactly means what ?? Where can i see it in the admin CP ??

[naqalone]

Many Thanks.It's so nice.

[silurius]

Very nice mod. I would install this if I could control it on a per-forum and/or per-usergroup basis, and if I could turn it off and on globally. Anyone feel like expanding this?

[yingzhou]

The Common Templates can be FORUMHOME or some thing else. :D

You can add that code in navbar template so this can be load in whole Forum.

[HaCaoChien]

When I click to "Show sub-forum >>" I expand sub-forum list but it go to the first sub-forum. Please help. Thanks

Hi I love this hack, but how can we make it look like yours(image)?
Although everything seems to work, my sub/subforums are not nested as your image displays
