Tabbed Forums Index

[OptimusBain]

Interesting addition. What would the forum tab navigation look like if there are too many categories? How would that be displayed if there is not enough room to fit all the category named in the tab view? Thanks

[Adriano Faria]

In file description;

Notes:

• It will add a new display option in the index if you allow members to choose forum view type
• A second line of tabs will show up if you have many root categories. The less the better.

You better not use the ROOT CATEGORIES and create a custom tab with more than one category in it.

I'll be replacing my website with "*"

The URL of page the error occurred on was https://*.to/?do=getCategoryData&fid=categories&tab=8

The website looks like this with the error (attachment):

[Adriano Faria]

Did you deleted any category/forum that’s part of any tab? It should check if it’s available but it seems it doesn’t. 

Check your tabs to remove what you have deleted and remove it from the tab. After that it will work. You can also run the support tool to get the CSS back if it still insists. 

I’ll make some tests and upgrade it to avoid such error, if I can reproduce it.

Thanks, the issue has been resolved.

Maybe a Tabbed downloads Index, and a Tabbed pages Index🤔

Where can I download?

[Nathan Explosion]

Log in to your ACP and go to the Marketplace section, then search for the resource. You then can buy and install it directly from in there.

Is there a way you can dictate the order of the forums in an individual tab? I have 17 game forums and want to do a tab with all the "tech support" forums for each game. When I select them in the edit tab option, it lists the forums in the opposite order as the forum category is. So, the game shown at the top now shows as the last tech support forum in the tab.

*Edit - I see that the forum are going by their ID order. I had my forum imported from Vbulletin. Is there a way to change the ID?

I see that the forum are going by their ID order. Is there a way to change the order to not follow the ID? I will have 17 forums in each tab and having my most popular game (highest number since it is the latest forum) listed last is not what I wanted.

I don’t remember how it is sorted; I would have to take a look at the script but it should order by the position ID and not by the forum ID so it should respect same order of your categories. 

Edited August 23, 2022 by Adriano Faria

[Arlon Rahn]

I just verified that it is definitely by the ID in front of the forum name - not the order. For instance, the first one in my suggestion tab has this forum:

https://forum.greydogsoftware.com/forum/42-bowl-bound-college-football-suggestions/

Even though this would be the one listed at the top of the forum order:
https://forum.greydogsoftware.com/forum/115-total-extreme-wrestling-2020-suggestions/

[Adriano Faria]

I’ll take a look when I have to update it.

[Arlon Rahn]

Thanks!

[Adriano Faria]

What's New in Version 1.1.4:

• Sort forums added in SPECIFIC FORUMS tab by the position set on ACP Forums management page.

[Arlon Rahn]

Mine show properly when I add them, but when I save it defaults to the oldest first again.

[Adriano Faria]

Works fine:

1. Create the SPECIFIC FORUMS tab and choose the forums
2. Go to ACP -> Community -> FORUMS and set the order I want

 

[Arlon Rahn]

Oh ok. So I have forum groups for each game (Total Extreme Wrestling 2020, World of Mixed Martial Arts 5, etc). Within those I have a dynasty subforum. See below. So I was thinking if I made a tab and put Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Dynasties, World of Mixed Martial Arts 5 Dynasties and Mafia Capo: Payback Dynasties, they would be in the order of the main forum group. But you are saying I need to put them in a forum group called "Dynasties" and then they would be in the order they are listed there?
 

I guess what I'm saying is I would prefer to keep my forum structure for the main tab (each game is a group) and then have tabs for Dynasties and Tech Support where I show just the subforum for each game there.

[Adriano Faria]

Sorry, I’m no saying anything. The options are those available. This resource doesn’t do anything different than what’s clearly stated. Sorry if doesn’t meet your needs. That’s how it is.

[Arlon Rahn]

It's all good. I'll probably just make a Dynasty tab and use your format. The fix helps!

[Maxtor]

@Adriano Faria it would be nice if we had the option to replace Tabs text with Tabs icons images.

So it could be easier for members to see tabbed categories , rather than viewing only the first one all the time. 

[Adriano Faria]

I'm not sure I understand your request but Images are not possible. I can add a FontAwesome icon before the tab title, if that's what you mean.

FROM NOVEMBER 1ST TO NOVEMBER 30TH.

Ok. Will make some tests and update it if necessary. 

Thank you.
