IntroductionThis Mod Adds the Ability to view all boards in a single category.
When you are on BoardIndex Clicking CatName will allow you to view that Category. Collapsible Categories are still usable via the Link image to the left of Catname.
As well when you are viewing a board clicking the Category name will bring up the boards in the Category.
Multiple Categories are supported with a comma separated array.
Admin SettingsThere are no admin settings. To disable it, you must remove this mod.
Compatibility NotesThis mod was tested on SMF 2.0.9, but should work on SMF 2.1 RC2, as well as SMF 2.0 and up. SMF 1.x is not and will not be supported.
DO NOT INSTALL IF:o In
./Themes/default/scripts/script.js, the first operation can be skipped if the second is successful.
Attach the affected file to this topic (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=118299.0) for further assistance installing this.

Nice mod. :)
A couple of things you may want to address at some point:
There is a file .DS_Store included in the package that isn't needed.
When viewing a category alone, the boards are no longer in the same order as the order they are assigned in Manage Boards.
akabugeyes,
The .DS_Store just came from my mac when I made the .tar.gz file. I fixed my stuffit preferences so it shouldn't do that anymore.. But no harm done with it. Just a index file like thums_db file you get on windows for thumbnails.
I will have to investigate why the order gets changed. Nothing the mod changes should affect this, But I see it now that you pointed this out.
**Edit**
Found the Bug.
Some Reason SMF wants to ignore the boardorder when viewing a Category, But not when Viewing BoardIndex.
Updated to 1.3
If you Don't want to update just do this..
Edit: /Sources/BoardIndex.php
Find:
. (isset($_REQUEST['f']) ? "
AND c.ID_CAT = ".$_REQUEST['f'] : ''), __FILE__, __LINE__);
Replace:
. (isset($_REQUEST['f']) ? "
AND c.ID_CAT = ".$_REQUEST['f']."
ORDER BY boardOrder ASC" : ''), __FILE__, __LINE__);
And that sets the boards to be ordered how they should be.
Also The 1.3 Doesn't have .DS_Store. Even though its not a worry.
Thanks SleePy,
When I first started using smf a year ago, I thought the category was 'malfunction' when it didn't go into a single category. ::)
Thanks for making this mod.
Just some notes for user...
1. When in single category and you click "Mark ALL messages as read", it still marks all messages of the whole forum, not just this category. This is convenient as I guess no user would want to have to mark each category separately.
2. After clicking "Mark ALL messages as read", it will bring user back to the forum home page, not the single category page.
:)
I have just browsed through my website again and felt that something is missing.... ie. a way for user to jump to other categories.
Is it possible to add a "jump to" selector somewhere in the single category please?
Thanks ;)

Your Welcome.
That is Normal Behavior. I did Not touch the mark All Messages function while making this mod.

It is possible. But then it Ruins the Theme Compliance as not every theme will have the Same coding for the BoardIndex.template.php
Though it is very possible. Just borrow the code from MessageIndex.template.php and put it in a if statement to only show when viewing a single category is very possible.
If you want this I can go Get it working and tell you what to change.
QuoteIf you want this I can go Get it working and tell you what to change.
Yes, please :D Really appreciate your help.
I think it will look good and logical if it is placed immediately after the Single Category and before the Info Center.
Thank you so much.
This mod really works! It even goes to Single Category when I clicked on the 'breadcrumb" links like
Forum > Category > Board
Forum > Category > Board > Topic
*thumbsup!* ;D
Regarding "Jump to" selector, I tried the "Jump to" (both in board and in topic) and when I select the drop-down category, it goes to the homepage's category.
Is it possible to jump to Single Category as well? :P
Hi SleePy,
Hope you don't mind another feedback :P
In the Single Category view, when I click collapse [ - ] it goes to the homepage's category and it is collapsed.
In the Single Category view while it is collapsed, when I click expand [ + ] it goes to the homepage's category and is expanded.
Is it possible to collapse and expand within Single Category view?
:)
[Last Edit]Perhaps it is not necessary to collapse and expand in Single Category. Therefore removing the 'collapse' and 'expand' buttons might be a better and easier solution?
Well Instead of specially coding just for viewing a single category to remove the expand/collapse feature it was easier to leave it. It acts as a way to get back to the homepage as well kinda for those lazy people :P
Not much of an issue and keeps it more theme compatiable.
The Breadcrumb was in there from the start ;) I didn't think about the jumpto.
I got 1.4 working which has the jumpto and a uninstall bug fixed but My localhost test site is giving me problems right now for some reason... So I can't test it right now. So hopefully when I get that fixed and working correctly I will be able to release that. I dont want to release it untested because of the template changes I need to make sure are done right (for normal and TinyPortal).
Though as hard as I worked I am sure the boardindex.template.php change part will fail on a few custom themes. The Change I did to the message template Should not fail unless the jumpto box as previously edited or is removed.
--Edit--
Finally got my localhost site working and was able to test it. Glad I did because there was some errors :(
It Changes the Display.template.php, MessageIndex.template.php and BoardIndex.template.php
And It only does this to the Default Theme (for 1.1 RC3). The changes to them are really simple. Just addition of the Jumpto in BoardIndex and the others just fix it so the jumpto works correctly.
QuoteInstalling this package will perform the following actions: Type Action Description
1. Execute Modification ./Sources/BoardIndex.php Test failed
2. Execute Modification ./Sources/Load.php Test successful
Yes, I got the above error while uninstalling 1.3. Is it safe to go ahead and uninstall it? Can't wait to try 1.4 with the jumpto.
:)
I found that error myself to while uninstalling 1.3.. Otherwise I might not of caught..
If you got no other mods that change the boardindex.php source file it is safe to uninstall it and then upload a fresh copy of boardindex.php.. Otherwise I could code up quickly a uninstaller package for you to remove it correctly..
If you want you could use 1.4. edit installed.list and change the version to 1.4. It will think its installed. then uninstall it. Ignore the errors about the other files and boardindex.php and load.php sources should come up sucuessful. then once its uninstalled install it. ;)
I'm curious to know how the yoursite.com URL relates to the mod. I went to the site and did a bit of testing but it was nothing like a forum's page ...
It was just an example of how to access the mod Manually..
But we talked this out through pm.. So its sorted :)
Dude, I have installed this mod but I don't know how to make it work, you see I want the guests to be able to see the boards and topics but not able to read them... how can this be accomplished???
This mod would not accomplish that.
This mod basicly lets you view a single category. Which is like the Simple Machines, SMF Support, SMF Development seen here but you can view only that one and all boards under it. This is done through url action and doesn't have any affect on allowing guests to see all boards/topics but not view them.
That's odd, a SMF developer directed me here...
Anyway, thanks for your time...
hi,
i really like this mod and its very usefull to me but there is one thing iam wondering about : i is possible to view multiple categories with this? like
http://localhost/index.php?action=forum;f=1,2,3
?
if not, what needs to be done to get this?
thanks

At this time I have not publicly released a way to do this. I am working on it but as I said have not done a public release due to stability of it.
You can attempt this yourself all the code you need to edit to do this is in the BoardIndex.php in sources. really all you need to do is make it catch the input as an array and validate it then explode the array in the query.
I have a slight problem trying to download this mod with the mod package. I'm trying to download the file but my computer automatically asks if I want to decompress the tar file but won't let me upload the actual tar.gz file from my desktop.
When I decompress the file within, it's telling me that it's the wrong file format. Help!
So are you saying when you download it your computer automatically decompresses it? Do you have the original still to upload? Did you try to repackage what it decompressed (it can be a zip file if you want).
The computers asks me if I want to decompress it. When I say yes, it shows me all the files within the tar file. When I say no, it just shows the tar file.
The problem with downloading the original file for me is that it doesn't actually show up in my desktop [the tar.gz file]. I'm actually not sure how to repackage a tar file into a zip file.
I seem to be talking without trying. I have a tendency to do that :-[ I've worked it out.
hi there, great mod, thanks a lot for your work..
emm, i think i found a little bug...
my english sucks, so i will try to explain the best i can...
when you are viewing a topic or forum....
and click on the category name on the link_tree (site > forum > "category" > forum > topic.....)
it point to "http://sitename/index.php?f=1".... so it goes back to the forum.. not the category...
i think it should point to "http://sitename/index.php?action=forum;f=1"
hope its clear.. enough at least...
thats it..
greetings..
Are you using TinyPortal?
Oh. I see where this happens.
Open Load.php and find:
// This is cheating but TinyPortal Modifies this as well.
// Build up the linktree
$context['linktree'] = array_merge(
$context['linktree'],
array(array(
'url' => $scripturl . '?' . (!empty($context['TPortal']) ? 'action=forum;' : '') . 'f=' . $board_info['cat']['id'],
'name' => $board_info['cat']['name']
)),
Replace with:
// This is cheating but TinyPortal Modifies this as well.
// Build up the linktree
$context['linktree'] = array_merge(
$context['linktree'],
array(array(
'url' => $scripturl . '?' . (!empty($context['linktree'][0]['name']) && $context['linktree'][0]['name'] == 'Forum' ? 'action=forum;' : '') . 'f=' . $board_info['cat']['id'],
'name' => $board_info['cat']['name']
)),
That should fix the problem.
I forgot that $context['TPortal'] isn't loaded yet when Load.php is called. Doing that fixs the problem.
I will update the mod package soon if you want to install the mod again instead of manual fix.
hi there..
yes i use tinyportal...
but.. the fix doesnt work...
tried a couple of times.. to recheck.. but still not working..
Can I have a link to your forum?

Can I have a link to your forum?
yep, here it is : http://hein.grinhost.net
to test what i say go to a topic, then try te get back to the category through the linktree.
the forum has almost not content because i am preparing the inferface first..
greetings
Reverse the changes and uninstall the mod.
Then download the new one.
That is the only change I made to fix this (and it is working with that change on my test installs) so it might not be installed right.
btw. look at your site in Firefox 2.0. To me some things are appearing weird.
ok, will do that
thanks for the help
and about my site, i know about the weird things.. its just i am heavily modificating the theme
and errors come often..
i keep testing on firefox and ie.. for checking everything
thanks again
I just grabed the one for the beta and will play with it, thanks Sleepy.. ;)
im using SMF 2.... why am i getting this error?
the files isnt currupt and its for smf 2 so whats wrong? i really need this mod.. how can i fix this....
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
Which version of SMF are you using?
I have not updated the packages to work with 2.0 Beta 3.1 yet. They should work though by emulating the version of "2.0 Beta 3".
Hi,
I really love your mod and we were using it till the day we installed the Simple Portal
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104) with the Portal your mod wasn't working as it should. That's why we uninstalled it. Today I wanted to install it again, cause the author of the Portal mod posted a code to make your mod working with the Portal.
The only file which is causing trouble is the Load.php.
Now I want to ask you, can you please take a look at our Load.php and help to fix the error, so I can install the mod again in our forum?
I made the change manually to the Load.php that this mod needs.
While your installing it will still say an error occurred for the Load.php
If the Load.php is the only file that files and you have replaced your Load.php with the attached one. Then you can click apply.
Note, you may want to keep a backup of your Load.php as if you want to uninstall the mod you still won't remove all its functionality.
great mod, I think it must be in the core of smf.
using 2.0 beta public 3.1
download and install: no problem (if you change compatibility to "2.0 beta public" )
there is only a 'minibug'.
if you use multiple categories parameter ( hope i´m using it correctly )
example:
http://foro.cometas.info/index.php/c,18,21.html
it shows you both categories: Great!.
but if you use the collapse category button, it back to 'all categories' listing.
is it possible to keep the parameter of the cat_id´s that you wanna see in this case?
thanks.
How do you activate this mod? I have installed it but notice no difference. Can anyone help please?
Thanks
in your forum index:
WITHOUT the mod: if you click in the name of a category: toogles visibility of that category ( srink/expand the boards of this cat )
WITH the mod: the click reload index with only that category.
also, you can make a direct link to an index with the categories you wanna see, por example: ( real link to my forum: http://foro.cometas.info/index.php/c,3,18.html (http://foro.cometas.info/index.php/c,3,18.html) ) will show only 2 categories
hope it helps.
Nope, sorry this makes no sense to me im afraid. Im new to all this you see.
miguelito,
It may be possible. I will add it into my notes for when I am working on updating my mod. I think the best way to do that would be to capture the current url and then store it with those collapse links using c_redirect or something similar.
good, but it´s those 'collapse links' work to keep the url they came from and do not change nothing,
it´s no problem of your mod.
pls help
i cant get this mod working and i am using tinyportal
and i cant make the changes to BoardIndex.template.php of my custom theme
here is my BoardIndex.template.php
What isn't working?
This mod doesn't currently do many edits to the boardindex other than adding a jumpto while using a single category.
it doesn't show the single categories
nothing happens even if i ues the ?f=(catid) link...
pls help me
Did you try to click on a category name?
its now working
but what i want to do is hide my shoutbox whenever i am viewing a category
You would need to ask the author of the shoutbox for specific details.
But the variable my mod uses is "$context['single_cats']"
That is set when you are viewing a single category(ies).

Sorry for my late reply, but I was a bit busy the last few weeks.
Thanks a lot for your help! :D
May I ask for your help again. It's not a big problem I have and I never realized it before, my second Admin informed me about it.
It has to do with the link tree in the Recent Post part: http://forum.arseniums.com/index.php?action=recent (http://forum.arseniums.com/index.php?action=recent)
When you click at the category name itself, the category doesn't open as single category, can you tell me please which code I have to change?
I tried it alone, but I'm a dumb in php. :'(
Open Recent.php
Find (about line 175):
$context['linktree'][] = array(
'url' => $scripturl . '#' . (int) $_REQUEST['c'],
'name' => $name
);
Replace:
$context['linktree'][] = array(
'url' => $scripturl . '?action=forum;c=' . (int) $_REQUEST['c'],
'name' => $name
);
Find (about line 555):
$context['linktree'][] = array(
'url' => $scripturl . '#' . (int) $_REQUEST['c'][0],
'name' => $name
);
Replace:
$context['linktree'][] = array(
'url' => $scripturl . '?action=forum;c=' . (int) $_REQUEST['c'][0],
'name' => $name
);
I will fix it in my mod sources though so next time I update the package this should be fixed :)
I changed the codes, but it's still the same. :'(
Can it be it has something to do with the Simple Portal we have installed?
Are you sure you uploaded the file?
That is the only two calls to the link tree in that file that set the category.
Try this:
Find:
'href' => $scripturl . '#' . $row['ID_CAT'],
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '#' . $row['ID_CAT'] . '">' . $row['cname'] . '</a>'
Replace:
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=forum;c=' . $row['ID_CAT'],
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=forum;c=' . $row['ID_CAT'] . '">' . $row['cname'] . '</a>'

After I have changed this part, everything works perfect!! (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.arseniums.com%2FSmileys%2Fdefault%2Fa020.gif&hash=e2cb6529593d60555df3ad5b24c058a0a716ac34)
Thanks a lot for your help!! :D :D
Works Fine.
After 3 previous installations, first time it went without any errors [but it worke every time, even with errors in installation]
Thank You!!!
Hi,
I have a fresh install of 1.1.7, I couldnt install the package (because of some kind of login problem) so I did a manual install of the latest package and its not working, I've double checked my edits :( ... I can go to admin, I can view a single topic but not the main index.php with the recent posts.
----> this looks like it there is some kind of mistake in the recent posts?
Btw. is it still working with c=# or f=# ? Some older version I had installed before worked with c=#
I've tried the last suggested update for Recent.php
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=forum;c=' . $row['ID_CAT'],
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=forum;c=' . $row['ID_CAT'] . '">' . $row['cname'] . '</a>'
but it didn't help
Thanks a lot for any help!
f=# no longer works, it is now c=#. I changed this as using f made no sense, and SMF uses c for all its category things, so it just made sense.
I am lost at your issue though? This only makes it so you can view a single category at a time. This doesn't change the unread or recent posts. Although you can specify in recent and unread posts to only get those from a category.
Just wanted to say that as far as for me, the v2.1.1 works with smf1.1.7, version 2.1.4 doesn't (or maybe I need some php or mysql update even though I've updated it just a few months ago).
Well, never mind, I'll stay using the old one.
Btw: Thanks a lot for this mod!!! :)
I m too Facing The Same Problem as Dejv Above....... Can Any One Help Please
Dejv Please do me a favour please give me the link from where i can get the old version of single category which is working with 1.1.7.
- Pari
Hmm, what exactly doesn't work?
Did you check to see if it was only affected for that theme?
If not, I will have to install it on 1.1.7, I don't have it running on any 1.1 forum of mine.
Can you put here the version for 2.0 beta 3.1 public? I won't ask for support :)
I ask this because the current version doesn't work for smf 2 beta 3.1, only for beta 4. I can change the xml file but i don't know if your new code of this last version is compatible with beta 3.1.
Thanks in advance for response.
I do keep previous versions on my own site. Although I really suggest you update to the latest version as there was security fixes for that version.
im also having issues with unread posts and stuff after installation =/
What is wrong with recent posts? You want that to show only a single post?
I have upgraded SMF to RC1. Is this mod compatible? And if not, when do you think you will have time to do the changes?
Thanks
Recent post gets an error "tstring mismatch"
shumilica,
It should work in 2.0 RC1, though it appears from my notes (As I test my mods on svn versions a lot) that there is a replacement issue that may cause the mod installation to fail. I am working on getting my mods updated and released today for RC1 :) I can't say when, this depends on time and how complex it is to fix other issues in other mods.
Enders,
What is this exact error?
Are you using 2.0 RC1?
Never mind.. I fixed it. The "shared forum mod" seems to be interfering with it.
Ok. I just installed on my site, and it does not work.
When installing, it shows that 2 files shown errors.
I manually put the code in, and it is still not working...
Manually coded files are attached.
Still need help...
Anyone?
I am also having issues with this mod not working. It installed successfully, but has made no difference. Clicking on the category takes me to my portal.
Does this need to be turned on somewhere??? I've looked, but haven't been able to find it.
I just want to say that I have had real good luck with Sleepy's mods, so I'm not complaining. :) But I would absolutely love to get this one working.
Mine works for 1.1.8
For example this works if I need to display only categories 1 and 6 ..../forum/index.php?c=1,6
But it just doesnt work when I click on a single category, there is no difference.

I have same problem, using ezportal :(
*I think the problem is at Load.php I have included mine at this post. Can you please have a look ? Many thanks.
Great mod, works perfectly for me with 1.1.8!
great mod, is there a way to get it to work with Pretty URLs?
or at the very least have the title of the category pulled into the page title of each category page?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*' in /srv/d_matixadev/www/giovanni.matixa.eu/htdocs/Sources/Load.php on line 675
That 's the error message i have got using ez-portal 1.1.9
could you take this in account for the next upgrade?
It's a very usefull mod, thanks.
I have tried to install this mod in 1.1.19 but it doesn't seem to be compatible (the first comment in BoardIndex.php doesn't exist). Any chance of an update for 1.1.19?
I'm trying to install this on 1.1.10 .. it's telling me the package is currupted :o ???
Are you sure it is saying corrupted or is it also saying not for your version of SMF? You may need to emulate your version as 1.1.9 due to a bug in SMF
Quote from: An Error Has Occurred!
Package upload failed due to the following error:
"Although the package was downloaded to the server it appears to beempty. Please check the Packages directory, and the "temp"sub-directory are both writable. If you continue to experience thisproblem you should try extracting the package on your PC and uploadingthe extracted files into a subdirectory in your Packages directory andtry again. For example, if the package was called shout.tar.gz youshould:
1) Download the package to your local PC and extract it into files.
2) Using an FTP client create a new directory in your "Packages" folder, in this example you may call it "shout".
3) Upload all the files from the extracted package to this directory.
4) Go back to the package manager browse page and the package will be automatically found by SMF."
That's what I get whenever I try to install through package manager.. When I try to open it in WinRAR, it says it can't be opened..
As said in the other topic, please try again :)
Ok I just found this mod a couple days ago and it's exactly what I've been needing. However, I am having an issue and I apologize if it has already been asked.
I'm running the PortaMx portal and when I click on a category it just brings me to my portal page. The mod works perfectly when I turn off the portal but that isn't an option. I even tried it with other portals but the same thing happened.
I'm very much a novice when it comes to coding, so can someone tell me/show me what I need to do to fix this? I'm so excited about this mod! I can't stress enough how much this mod means to me & my site!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok I just found this mod a couple days ago and it's exactly what I've been needing. However, I am having an issue and I apologize if it has already been asked.
I'm running the PortaMx portal and when I click on a category it just brings me to my portal page. The mod works perfectly when I turn off the portal but that isn't an option. I even tried it with other portals but the same thing happened.
I'm very much a novice when it comes to coding, so can someone tell me/show me what I need to do to fix this? I'm so excited about this mod! I can't stress enough how much this mod means to me & my site!
Thanks in advance for any help.
I'm getting the same thing using PortaMX..

I'm getting the same thing using PortaMX..
This mod means so much to me that I uninstalled PortaMX and tried Simple Portal & EzPortal but the same thing happened while using those portals as well. I need this mod to work in the worst possible way!
If you find anything out on how to make it work, please let me know. I'll make sure to do the same if I find anything out! I'm hoping someone out there can help!
Give this a try. Install both mods.
Open BoardIndex.php and find:
// Get out of this mess.
redirectexit('c=' . $_REQUEST['c_redirect']);
Then replace that with:
// Get out of this mess.
redirectexit((!empty($context['TPortal']) || defined('PortaMx') ? 'action=forum;' : '') . 'c=' . $_REQUEST['c_redirect']);
Let me know if that works. If it does I will work on fixing this with the rest of the code and update the mod.
Thanks to SunKing, this problem is solved! This code works on both Simple Portal and PortaMx! I'm not sure exactly what he did so I'm just pasting the entire block he tweaked. I knew this was going to be an awesome mod and boy was I right! This is perfect for people who have a ton of categories & topics - Thanks SleePy!

Using SMF 1.1.10 which is compatible I got this message:
QuoteThe package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
What can be wrong?
This is due to a bug in SMF related to how it handles revisions after x.x.9. Simply add this to the end of your package manager url: ;version_emulate=1.1.9
Hello
Will this mod work on 1.1.11?
Thanx
I tried installing the mod using 1.1.9 emulation, but got this error:
Execute Modification C:\inetpub\wwwroot\public\\smf/Sources/BoardIndex.php Test failed
Do you have any other mods installed?
Can you list them?
Do you know if any of those modified that file?

great mod, is there a way to get it to work with Pretty URLs?
or at the very least have the title of the category pulled into the page title of each category page?
I agree. Great mod!
and i want to repeat this question.
Is there a way to get it to work with Pretty URLs?
Since that requires some work on Pretty URLs' part rather than this mod, you'd best ask them.
first of all the mod is awesome.
i've a little request that how can i disappear the whole category from main board , i.e category is not visible on main board but still accessible if we use the link of category using this mod.
Like
www.mysite.com/index.php?c=1 (this link is still working , but this category is hidden on main board index)

Hello, this is a very good mod. However I noticed that there seems to be a conflict with the Password Protected Boards Mod:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=922
When I had installed the Single Category Mod, the Password Protect Boards Mods would no longer appear on my board index ...
Any thoughts what might be the cause?
Thanks!
Can you make this mod compatible with SimplePortal please ?
Thank you very much.
I would also appreciate it if the mod would be compatible with SimplePortal :)

Make that 3...
I'm running SMF 2.0.2. Strange. The package installer requires manual installation of one line in the /Sources/Subs-BoardIndex.php file, however the relevant line in my file is slightly different to the one in the package installer, and I can't tell if it was changed by a mod or not.
The line that the installer wants to change is:
$categories[$row_board['id_cat']]['link'] = '<a id="c' . $row_board['id_cat'] . '" href="' . (isset($row_board['can_collapse']) ? $categories[$row_board['id_cat']]['collapse_href'] : $categories[$row_board['id_cat']]['href']) . '">' . $row_board['cat_name'] . '</a>';
But the "same" line in my file is:
$categories[$row_board['id_cat']]['link'] = '<a id="c' . $row_board['id_cat'] . '"></a>' . ($categories[$row_board['id_cat']]['can_collapse'] ? '<a href="' . $categories[$row_board['id_cat']]['collapse_href'] . '">' . $row_board['cat_name'] . '</a>' : $row_board['cat_name']);
There's a difference between the two lines of code, but is the difference significant?

I am running into the same issue. I suspect that between the 2.0 RC releases and the final release that there was a change made in the core code and the mod hasn't been updated accordingly.
Is there a workaround for this? Or in the alternative, another mod that could accomplish the same?
work around for what?
So, I just installed this mod and found the line/failure mentioned above.
Look at the code... it's actually doing the exact same thing in both lines of code, it's just worded slightly differently.
What this mod does it it replaces the "collapse" when clicking the catgeory name with a "view the category" when clicking the category name...
So, the short answer is YES.
comment out that one line of code and paste in this new bit as indicated in the error/manual apply window
it works just fine after that.
Thank you! I was mainly concerned that doing that might break something, but I did exactly as you said and there were zero issues.
I am running SMF v2.0.7 and am having problems installing this mod. I did the change suggested earlier to my Subs-BoardIndex.php file, with package manager reporting success. However, the QueryString.php source file has been changed sometime since v2.0.2. Renamed my QueryString.php file and replaced with clean QueryString.php file, same problem. Anyone made this mod work with v2.0.7? Or any ideas? Thanks!
you should NEVER just replace files like that... by doing that, you are potentially undoing or causing errors with other mods.
O:) ::) The forum I replaced the file on was a local version on my computer, so there was no chance it would wreck the forum. However, the fact that the same problem was present on a clean copy and the modified copy says (at least to me) that at some point the source file changed. I need to figure out what/how to change the file so that the mod works.
I guess I could just comment out and replace the effected code like before, but for some reason, it just seems like a tacky thing to do..... Especially since I don't understand what the code does....
Error with patch 2.0.8

Yes.
And Arantor's MOD MySQL Board Order Fix (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3865)?
Or 2.0.8 which conflicts with PortaMX for the exact same reason because it includes my mod's code...
I corrected so file Subs-BoardIndex.php:
WHERE {query_see_board}' . (empty($boardIndexOptions['countChildPosts']) ? (empty($boardIndexOptions['base_level']) ? '' : '
AND b.child_level >= {int:child_level}') : '
AND b.child_level BETWEEN ' . $boardIndexOptions['base_level'] . ' AND ' . ($boardIndexOptions['base_level'] + 1))
. (isset($context['single_cats']) ? "
AND c.id_cat{raw:cat_field}
ORDER BY board_order ASC" : ""),
Removed line:
ORDER BY board_order ASC
And it works.

BUMP..... Now running v2.0.8 with same problem.... Can anybody help me?
I'm taking a *WILD* guess because these regex stuff aren't really in my book :P
For the first operation you should find:
board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'sid_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
And replace with
c|board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'sid_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
For the second operation you should find:
board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'pathinfo_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
And replace with:
c|board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'pathinfo_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
Again, this is just a wild guess :P
Looks good to me (assuming the addition of c| is what the mod originally does (which is to ensure that index.php?c= will be recognised in the relevant tests)
It is.
Thanks ;)

For the life of me, I just couldn't figure that one out! Thanks, margarett! (Yeah, regex stuff isn't my strong suit either...)
Now all we need is an updated mod.... O:) ;D
EDIT: After reviewing the license found in the mod, I decided that I'd make the changes and post them. Attached is my altered copy of the mod, version 2.1.9a.... Package info file has been modified to use the new XML file for v2.0.8 and up....
EDIT: Packaged file has been removed from attachments. See here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=118299.msg3730739#msg3730739) for unofficial updated version v2.1.9b.
Drat. I get an error on the first step with dougiefresh's attachment:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1262.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fii614%2FOPStuph%2Fall2%2Fsinglecategoryerror85142.png&hash=7ded694cddc9cc234a78e05d46045f19c7d5965a)

I looked in Sources/Subs-BoardIndex and there is no cat_field in there anywhere. :(
Okay, I'm sorry about the late reply. I've rebuilt my copy of this mod and have attached it. These are the mods I've done to v2.1.9 - ONLY FOR SMF v2.0.8+:
o Operation # 5 (Sub-BoardIndex.php) (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=118299.msg3386342#msg3386342) replacement
o Operation # 3 (Sub-BoardIndex.php) (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=118299.msg3717732#msg3717732) replacement
o Operations # 1 and # 2 (QueryString.php) (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=118299.msg3718770#msg3718770) replacement.
I installed this mod and it works correctly now. Sorry about the previous posting....
EDIT: Attachment removed and made the public download at the mod download page.
Well, it worked perfectly on my test board but not on my normal one. Obviously some mod is getting in the way. Will have to figure out which one.

I tested my copy of this mod with SMF 2.0.7 install with the 2.0.8 patch, along with the Sorted Package Manager Listing (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=875) mod installed, as indicated in your picture 2 posts ago. Installation went fine, no errors. It appears to work correctly, so we can safely rule out the Sorted Package Manager Listing (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=875) mod as a problem.
In other notes, this mod doesn't work with Simple Portal...... Can it be made to work with it? Let's see......
This is the error I'm getting under the ./Sources/QueryString.php step:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi60.tinypic.com%2F24nfp5j.jpg&hash=35b2e83d35454ac16bf0d18dbaa55117718ebfa9)
What does that mean?
Attach your Sources/QueryString.php file so I can see what is going on.... Note that this mod doesn't work with Simple Portal, so if you have it installed, I can't make it work for ya.... (yet)
I don't use Simple Portal but I do use Tiny Portal.
File attached that you asked for. :)
It looks like your QueryString.php has this line instead:
board|topic|page|cat)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'sid_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
Mod expects this:
board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'sid_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
So, since it's different than what the mod expects, the op fails..... You could probably change your copy of the mod to accommodate this....
Thanks. I'll have a look at this tomorrow. I'm over the 'mess around in admin' alcohol limit ... :P
I took a look at it and decided I'm not confident enough to muck about with the coding of the board so I'll just have to live without this. :(
Okay, I think I'm going to attempt this after reading the manual on installing mods that show errors during the testing portion.
As far as I can see, the only difference between what your mod expects:
board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'sid_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
and what it wants to do is adding a c| at the beginning of that line, correct?
So if I add that c| to what my file has:
board|topic|page|cat)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'sid_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
the mod should still work, right?
That looks like it should work, yes..... I haven't tried it.
I'll give it a whirl. :)
Yes it adds that. It was for SEF urls to be handled properly.
Just wanted to say that I tried the manual change I mentioned above and the mod works perfectly. Thank you for this! Not having this has been one of my very few gripes about SMF. :D
I would love to know if Google penalises sites that use this for duplicate content.
The mod download site for this mod stated anyone interested in developing this mod should contact SleePy. I did so. SleePy agreed to transfer the mod to me, under the condition that I keep it free to the public. I agreed to this condition. SleePy approved and has transferred the mod to me. Just so that y'all know ;D
The unofficial mod was branded v2.1.9b. It's now become official as version 2.2.0.
Sounds awesome. Thanks for keeping the dream alive :)
First post and mod description updated, giving proper credit to SleePy for creation of this mod and stating that the mod was taken over by me..... I apologize for any confusion the first post and mod description for v2.2 gave anybody.
UPDATE: I am working to make this mod compatible with SimplePortal.... It will involve some rewriting of the code to make it work, though....
I also need to comb through this thread to find the compatibility issues (what needs to be installed before what), that way I can update the mod description properly.... It's kinda a "slap-my-mod-description-format-on-this-mod-without-researching-everything-more"-kinda issue.... ::) If anybody wants to help me with this, please feel free as I've worked 23 hours over 2 days (fun.... NOT!)

I'm gonna tackle that issue as well.... I know there's a way to do so, but off the top of my head, I can't remember....
Uploaded v2.3 - October 20th, 2014
o Improved compatbility with TinyPortal at install time (SMF 2.0 only)
o Added compatibility with SimplePortal (SMF 2.0 only)
DO NOT INSTALL IF:
o In ./Themes/default/scripts/script.js, none of the operations are successful. One should be successful....
o In Sources/QueryString.php, none of the three pairs of operations (1 and 2, 3 and 4, or 5 and 6) are successful.
Attach the affected file to this topic for further assistance installing this.
I've left the v2.2.0 version up on the mod download page in the event that anyone needs it.
Just started playing with it on a Dream Portal based test site. Some quirks to overcome so will see how it goes :)
If anyone has any pointers on how to crunch the code and save some time would be great .
Replying to myself sort of.
Installed the mod and with some playing this url works fine for displaying single categories with Dream Portal installed.
http://www.xyz.com/index.php?action=forum;c=1
Which is fine for setting links off the menus or DP pages but when you click the headers of the categories it breaks and goes to the front page. Partal fix for what I wanted to do but if possible would be nice to sort out the category headers. :)
Lemme see what I can do to make this mod more compatible with Dream Portal....
Help would be greatly appreciated -- I upgraded my forum from SMF2.0.6 to SMF2.0.9 and now viewing the category page gives me this error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY b.board_order' at line 23
File: /var/www/____.com/forum/Sources/Subs-BoardIndex.php
Line: 120
Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 2.0.9, while your database is at version 2.0. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
I have Single Category Mod v2.1.9. I downloaded 2.2.0 but it shows as the older version, and I can't uninstall v2.1.9 because of problems with QueryString.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if I need to upload anything.
I'd suggest: Uninstall the SMF patches back to 2.0.6. uninstall Single Category 2.1.9, reinstall SMF patches, install updated Single Category mod.
Oddly I can't uninstall SMF 2.0.8. It returns an error in Memberlist.php which I don't think I've ever modified.
Which error fails? If you expand the list of changes, it will tell you how many changes, and then you can click on the little post icon to see what has actually failed.
I suspect it is failing on the test where it's trying to add 'serach_fields' which is a typo in some 2.0.8 installs but was fixed in later copies of 2.0.8 and 2.0.9 would definitely have fixed it regardless. It's probably OK to ignore that one, but if you're not sure, you can always ignore it for now, do the rest of the stuff outlined and then we'll look at whether that one file needs any more work doing to it (but after 2.0.9 is reinstalled, I doubt it)
Yep, that's it.
Unfortunately now I have more problems uninstalling 2.0.7. Two of the fails are on copyright notices, which is weird but not fatal. Another fail is on Subs-Post.php, where it can't find
if (allowedTo('admin_forum'))

In the meantime I still can't uninstall Single Category v 2.1.9 because of errors in QueryString.
It sounds like you have oddly old versions of things because there were several releases of several of the patches due to last minute things :(
So, at this point, can you reinstall back to 2.0.9? Let's at least get back to a point where we know where we are for sure.
Yeah I put off upgrading for a long time because I couldn't get it working, not realizing that I was a victim of the infinite loop fopen bug. Back to 2.0.9 now. Uninstalling Single Category 2.1.9 fails on:
Code: (Find) [Select]
oOption.value = aBoardsAndCategories[i].isCategory ? '?action=forumc=' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id : '?board=' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id + '.0';
Code: (Replace) [Select]
oOption.value = aBoardsAndCategories[i].isCategory ? '#c' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id : '?board=' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id + '.0';
It also has a second fail that's completely blank, which puzzles me. That is to say, it just says "Code: (Find) [Select]" and then a blank box underneath, and "Code: (Replace) [Select]" with another blank box underneath.
That particular edit is a bug in the code, it's looking for something slightly different to what it actually put there before.
If you look in the file it indicates for the first part of it:
oOption.value = aBoardsAndCategories[i].isCategory
Then replace that entire line with the line indicated, that would fix that one issue.
The other one is a bit weird. The old version appears to have been removed so I can't take a look at what's wrong with it :(
In the 2.1.9 package, the relevant portion for QueryString.php reads:
<file name="$sourcedir/QueryString.php">
<operation>
<search position="replace"><![CDATA[board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"/e', "'\"' . \$scripturl . '/' . strtr('\$1', '&;=', '//,') . '.html?' . SID . '\$2\"'", $buffer);
]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[c|board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"/e', "'\"' . \$scripturl . '/' . strtr('\$1', '&;=', '//,') . '.html?' . SID . '\$2\"'", $buffer);
]]></add>
</operation>
<operation>
<search position="replace"><![CDATA[board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"/e', "'\"' . \$scripturl . '/' . strtr('\$1', '&;=', '//,') . '.html\$2\"'", $buffer);
]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[c|board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"/e', "'\"' . \$scripturl . '/' . strtr('\$1', '&;=', '//,') . '.html\$2\"'", $buffer);
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>
I've realized something odd. The oOption.value line is actually in script.js, not QueryString.php. v2.1.9 should have had the two changes listed above uninstalled, but I confess I'm having difficulty parsing it to figure out what exactly I'm supposed to be changing. This is what I see in QueryString.php:
// This should work even in 4.2.x, just not CGI without cgi.fix_pathinfo.
if (!empty($modSettings['queryless_urls']) && (!$context['server']['is_cgi'] || @ini_get('cgi.fix_pathinfo') == 1 || @get_cfg_var('cgi.fix_pathinfo') == 1) && ($context['server']['is_apache'] || $context['server']['is_lighttpd']))
{
// Let's do something special for session ids!
if (defined('SID') && SID != '')
$buffer = preg_replace_callback('~"' . preg_quote($scripturl, '/') . '\?(?:' . SID . '(?:;|&|&))((?:c|board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'sid_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
else
$buffer = preg_replace_callback('~"' . preg_quote($scripturl, '/') . '\?((?:c|board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'pathinfo_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
}
I hope this makes sense -- I also attached the v2.1.9 package.

Hi, I believe there's some kind of issues while using this mod and Alias Boards.
When I access a category its working normal but, there's a blank category below with an empty board (empty of name and pretty much everything) and it's gone when I removed all the alias.
Thought you'll now better where should I modify to get this fixed.

Because I read the Alias Boards mod thread long long ago, I happen to know that the way the Alias Boards mod is implemented is to blame for this particular nasty bug..... What happens when the Alias Boards mod is installed is all board information is gathered for the Board Index. When it is displayed, we can easily display the aliased boards on the Board Index because we have the information already pulled to do so. When you throw in the Single Category mod in the mix, all of a sudden, the aliased boards don't work. This is because the query was changed to ONLY pull the boards from the specified category, making any aliases worthless because all the board information isn't loaded....
In all likelihood, the changes will somehow need to be made in the Alias Boards mod so that the information is available within a single category. That mod has been marked for a revamp to correct issues such as board ordering with aliases mixed in.... I seriously doubt any changes will need to be made in the Single Category mod.
Great, I'm moving my eyes into that support topic then.
Thank you.

I have a problem with this mod and it occurs when you click on a link in the path whilst in a topic (seen above as such):
(https://i.imgur.com/SI5ybGY.png)
If you click on the category name whilst in a topic, it directs you to a page with nothing below the path. The url also reads:
forum.com/index.php?c=7
Instead of:
forum.com/index.php?action=forum;c=1
How would I correct this error?
So there's a conflict between whatever portal mod you use and this mod, and I'm not sure what the correct URL should be since intercepting process flow that early on really isn't a good idea for mod compatibility.
So, let's start with that, which portal mod do you use?

Now that you've said this, it might be the PrettyUrls mods that's causing the conflict.
I also use SimplePortal.
Let me look into this bug report....
Hi Friends, (sorry, longish)
I've just run into the last issue reported here, too. I think I've seen those kind of links referred to as "breadcrumbs", although I tend to think of it more as a link-path.
Anyway, for example, you've just finished reading a topic, and you want to go back to the same category (for whatever reason). Find the link-path/breadcrumbs, and click on the category.
For me, it actually opens a page. Every single category opens the same URL (https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?c=3). I don't know why that URL opens this page, because that's not the URL for that page. The page it opens technically is an article in the Tiny Portal mod. But it's real URL is either https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php, or https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?page=28. I have no idea how "c=3" got to be on the end, or why the whole URL opens that page.
SMF 2.0.14
Tiny Portal 1.2 (need to upgrade)
View Single Category 2.4 (need to upgrade)
I can list all our mods, if necessary (around 45). I made a topic which you can use for testing: https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=769.0 I don't think you'll need to register.
Oh, this is interesting! I have another SMF forum which uses Simple Portal. (Let's call the first one IC for Inkscape Community, and let's call this one ICD Inkscape for Cutting Design.) https://www.inkscapecuttingdesign.com/smf/index.php
In ICD, clicking the category, no matter where you click the link (from the index page, or link-path in an open topic) it simply uses something like an html anchor. Instead of opening a new portal page which displays only the category (as it does in IC) it simply changes which part of the index page you're looking at. It puts whatever category you clicked at the top. But if you scroll, you can still get to the rest of the index page. In IC, the mod actually makes a new portal page, with only that category on it - even if you scroll, only that category is on the page.
I don't know, maybe that anchor-like behavior is a fallback or something, if a particular theme isn't compatible? But I thought worth a mention.
The main issue is in IC where the link does not open the category (in any way).
Sort of off topic:
If it can be explained in a relatively simple way, could someone explain why this issue is not a bug? Why is clicking on a category, not opening a category, not a bug? I mean, I certainly appreciate that we have this mod to fix it. But it seems to me like the forum's code should be fixed instead.
I don't remember what clicking on the category does (since I've had this mod for a while). But I don't know what could be considered more appropriate than clicking on a category to open that category. This really is the only complaint I've ever had about SMF (compared to other forum software).
End off topic
Anyway, let me know if I can help with testing and stuff. Or if you need any more info.

Hello,
This mod is a great idea and exactly what I need. Another great work dougiefresh! ;)
Unfortunately, several errors appear to me and that is why I have not installed it. I know it's been a while since the last update of the mod, but any help would be more than welcome.
I have the version of SMF 2.0.15 installed and the theme I have installed is "Dash" from SMFTricks.
I get two errors related to the ./Sources/Subs-BoardIndex.php and ./Themes/Dash/BoardIndex.template.php files. I attached the files in case someone could help me and also two screen captures of what appears to me when I try to install the mod.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
By the way, I have installed "TinyPortal 1.6.4" and "SMF 2.0.15 Update". No more mods installed.
Thanks.

Thank you very much. I will update to 2.0.17 version and then I will try the mod installation (automatic and manual).
Cheers and thanks!
Hello,
I have updated SMF to version 2.0.17 and then I have tried to install the mod. The same errors still appeared, so I clicked on install and I made manually the changes that caused the errors, writing the code in the files.
The problem was being caused by a change that I had made in these files to hide a topic from the forum's home page. The original files had changed and that's why the installation of the mod gave me those errors.
The mod is working perfect now in SMF 2.0.17. Using the "Dash" theme.
Thank you very much to Kindred for your help and to dougiefresh for creating this mod.
Cheers! ;D
Yes, appears to fail on the javascript script.js file
oOption.value = aBoardsAndCategories[i].isCategory ? '#c' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id : '?board=' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id + '.0';
In smf 2.0.17 this was changed to:
oOption.value = aBoardsAndCategories[i].isCategory ? '?action=forum#c' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id : '?board=' + aBoardsAndCategories[i].id + '.0';
It's a very minor change
Scratch that, nevermind, change was due to my installation of simple portal

Yep, I just discovered this problem in 2.0.18
Changed that line to:
QuoteoOption.value = aBoardsAndCategories.isCategory ? '?action=forum;c=' + aBoardsAndCategories.id : '?board=' + aBoardsAndCategories.id + '.0';
and it works great!
I'm trying to install this on SMF v. 2.0.18 and it fails test 7.2. This SMF version was upgraded from 1.0.18. The /smf/Themes/default/scripts/script.js file is the one that comes with the 2.0.18 update package. The instructions say, "DO NOT INSTALL IF: o In ./Themes/default/scripts/script.js". What does "o In ./Themes/default/scripts/script.js" mean? How do I proceed from here? Below is a link to a screen shot of the tests. I have attached script.js, although I believe it is unmodified from the 2.0.18 release. There are no mods installed.

How do I install this mod on smf 2.1.3? Not installed.
Emulating versions?
Though it doesn't look like it will work, author would need to update it.
