This mod does not affect anything on Forumdisplay. The thread counts remain the same because the threads really are in their original forums, this mod simply lets you see threads from multiple forums in one- it doesn't move or copy the actual thread.

thanks for the info. What does these hooks, forumdisplay_query_threadscount and
forumdisplay_query_threadid do?

[BirdOPrey5]

Sorry I thought you were talking about forumhome earlier. What I meant to say is this mod does not affect forumhome. The hooks you mention change the database query to select all threads from all forums selected as part of the master forum.

I was talking about forumhome.... oh well, its a neat mod anyway.

Quick question before I see if this will work for me.

In your screen shot, it shows the new thread button. How does that work? In which forum will the new thread appear?

[BirdOPrey5]

The new thread appears in the master forum.

[Undertaker #59]

I'll have to test it out, but I am wondering if I can not allow new threads in this forum, but still allow replies. Basically I want to use this mod as a way to view and reply to threads from multiple forums, but I want new threads to be placed in the proper forum for those who choose not to use the master forum view and view the forums singly.

[BirdOPrey5]

Each thread remains in its own forum... When someone is viewing the master forum the "New Thread" button will put a thread in the Master Forum as if ti was any other forum.

If someone clicks on a thread that is shown in the Master Forum but is from another forum, say Forum 2, then once the user clicks on it they will be in Forum 2. If they use the Forum Jump menu for example they will be taken "back" to Forum 2. That's why on my forum I edited the Jump Menu to include a link back to my master forum at all times.

Best way to understand is just to try it.

Brilliant mod. Just testing it on 3.8 but hopefully it'll bring order to chaos when we upgrade to vb4 too.

Anyone tested this on the vb mobile apps/tapatalk? (I saw something about it not being compatible with tapatalk in this thread or the vb4 one)

If I wanted to force users to select a forum when they hit post new thread when in the master forum I'd have to edit the newthread.php as well as the template wouldn't I? (thinking aloud - I could do it with a plugin)

Cheers!

I know it doesn't work with Tapatalk, not sure about vbulletin mobile app. For Tapatalk I find a lot of people use the "New Posts" feature anyway.

Yes you can edit new thread to ask where to post, but I haven't done it.

[Undertaker #59]

I would love that feature (having it prompt for forum on new thread).

Anyway, downloading and installing now.

Marked as installed! great mod, extremely useful thank you.

I have a question - I have a forum that is being used a master forum. Where would I edit to have the sub-forums be displayed above the threads (so the opposite as in your first example screenshot)

To do that best way would be to not use the auto template edit on the threadbit and do the manual edit instead- per the instructions:

I am getting the below error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

One of two things is the problem...

1) You have another mod using the hook forumdisplay_query_threadscount. In plugin manager see if any other plugin is using that hook and if so let me know which mod and I'll take a look.

Or

2) Are you using a modified or different forumdisplay.php file then came with your version. Please replace your forumdisplay.php with a copy from the original 3.8.5 install. (Keep a backup in case of anything.)
