Ok, just upped and good to go.  Make sure you completely uninstall Category View 1.3 and delete it from the list of packages before you install Category View 1.4.

ENJOY :)
Thanks, putting it in now!

Hi, there's bug-report about this GREAT PLUGIN!

SMF 2.0 RC1-1 / Category View MOD 1.4

In some categories (their single page) I can't see last sub-board.
Example:
1 category contains 4 board, every boards has 4 sub-boards (4x4=16). In single-category page doesn't show last sub-board (only 15 boards), but on forum page -- is everything alright

thanks!

Sorry, I'm not seeing what you are talking about.  Can you go here ==> Recreation of your scenario and see that all sub-boards get shown in both views (on index.php and in the single category view).

I've done it using both layouts and they act exactly the same showing all sub boards.

Hello again, and all apologee's for taking this long to get back with you on a fix for your problem.  I have been busy working on another mod that will hopefully be approved soon.  I had more time to dig into the problem you are having and think I have found the solution, but will need you to test this and confirm it.  Very simple edit...

Open up ./Themes/default/Category.template.php

FIND:
if ($board['id'])

REMOVE THIS LINE OF CODE everywhere it is found.  Save it and overwrite in the same directory.

Please let me know if this fixes your problem.

Still performing a few tests on this MOD before the release of version 1.5.

Thank You!

SoLoGHoST

Ok, new update 1.5 adds the phpBB Layout and should also fix any previous problems with this MOD as noted by Prosoi.

Thanks and ENJOY!

Do you have a url that I can take a look at??

Also, did you uninstall prior version and delete from the list of packages before installing version 1.5??  Do you have any other MODS installed??  If so, what are they??

Ok, I see the wrong sort order.

Can you be more specific on subforums not being in the demanded layout??

v1.6 installed and still bugs:

In a board with child boards, e.g. this board: http://www.smokey-services.eu/forums/index.php/board,167.0.html
Look at posts/views, remain SMF style despite the fact I have choosen for vBulletin.
Child boards in it like this one http://www.smokey-services.eu/forums/index.php/board,168.0.html seem to be OK.

Remark: in vBulletin style, the dimensions of the boards on the index are looking weird, especially when it concern a board on the index with a 1-line board name like e.g. here: http://www.smokey-services.eu/forums/index.php/board,82.0.html
Again vBulletin style, empty space above and below board title is to much.

Hello, this is a Category View, and only makes the changes to the Categories, not when viewing Boards and/or topics.  I didn't code it this way... sorry.  Perhaps in a future version I will decide to code it in this manner.  But for now, it only affects the viewing of Categories.  So this is not a bug.

As far as the blank space above and below the Board names when viewing a Category in vBulletin style, I can remove this easy, should have it re-upped in a few.  Will post up a reply in here when it's ready.

Thanks for your feedback on this.

OK, understood. Will be appreciated when you will code it in that manner sooner or later.

Ar, because with exception of the blank spaces (and also what I mentioned before however that is not a bug according to you) it is a great mod, txs! I will appreciate it when you fix the blank spaces issue asap.

QuoteThanks for your feedback on this.
You're welcome, pleasure is to me.

Ok, I have decided not to touch this as applying style attributes to tags would effect people's themes.  And I'm not going to edit anyone's themes, this is a MOD, not a theme.  So if you want to fix your spacing issues, you can edit the following style tags in forum.css located in ./Themes/default/css/forum.css:

table.boardsframe td.info p.moderators
table.boardsframe td.info h4
table.boardsframe td.info
table.boardsframe td.icon

Sorry, I don't do themes, only do MODS.  Good Luck,
Solomon

The idea of your mod is OK, however it will screw up the layout of the index in a non acceptable way. After integration of your mod, height of the index was 2 times the original SMF layout/height, this for reason of the mentioned abnormal huge spaces, with as undesirable result a really ugly index. And also an endloss scrolling from top till bottom of the index.

It is a pity that you refuse to correct these issues, I have uninstalled your mod because it isn't usable.

Good luck with further development, this mod have a future. But only ATM that certain negative effects are solved.

Ok, you talked me into it, will give it another go, but like I said, applying style attributes to tags will override people's themes.  I'll see what I can do to it without applying style attributes so that it should work well with other people's themes also.

Are you saying that the Default SMF Category Layout is bigger than that of the default SMF index Categories???  Not talking about vBulletin and phpBB, just the default SMF Category Layout.

FYI:  Not using the Category View MOD on your site is entirely up to you, it doesn't make any difference to me whether you use it or not.

Ok, did some edits to it and skrunk the height of all boards listed in each category dramatically.  Hopefully I didn't skrink it too much.  But I'm satisfied with it now.  Version 1.7 now available.  ENJOY!

Left version 1.6 up, just in case there are some conflicts with 1.7 and your theme, most likely not, but you never know.

Well, I am back to bother you again, but this time I have positive news to you. :)

v1.7 of your mod is a great improvement, you solved the issues mentioned by me.
I have now all boards on my forum provided with the vBulletin view, please take a look here: http://www.smokey-services.eu/forums/index.php

Up to you to decide the height of the boards in the categories are now OK or not.  ;)

Maybe you can tell me how to raise the amount of characters of topic subject in the column "Last Post" on the index?

FWIW: txs for providing us with your great mod. However, don't take it personal when people report bugs and glitches. We are doing such only to help you with mod improvement. To show you I grant everyone the credits he/she deserve, please take a look at what I mentioned at the bottom of the index.  ;D
