Boards in columns

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Has anyone done a 2.0 mod that lists boards in category in 2-3 columns, as does Tidy Child Board mod with child boards?

You can get a basic layout started with this:

Code Select Expand

.boardindex_table .up_contain {
  flex-basis: 50%;
  flex-grow: 1;
}
.boardindex_table .main_container > div:not(.cat_bar, .desc) {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

Was able to do it with TCB mod (not a standard forum setup).  Will try your code when I get a chance, thanks.

TCB never supported what you were asking for so whatever you did to make it work, it was all you.

This is the ebook-mecca forum, it's basically an ebook depository, not a forum, so I'm removing a lot of forum features and making it more of a website.  Most of the child boards were in empty parent boards in same category, so I created new categories, each with new parent board, moved the children into the appropriate parent, then hid the parents, so now just the children are displayed in columns in each category.  It cleaned up the board index and simplified navigation. 

Have you updated TCB for 2.1?

[Arantor]

No, I haven't. Someone else will have to if anyone wants it - I'm only planning on finishing up the LevGal and Stripe packages and that's it.

I suppose you've noticed how awful the language sub-boards look here.

It would help if there weren't duplicates that are actually redirects to each other in the list.

I've posted CSS for sorting that out several times. Not my fault if nobody can be bothered using it.

I'll look at that later and bring it to Lex's attention.

Not a question of being bothered, more a matter of not being able to find it.

Anyway, the TCB workaround did what we wanted.  If you look at attached, those are child boards under category header, parent is empty and hidden.  Children link to message index, which is list of book titles, which link to topics, one for each book.  You can see it here.  There will be no members other than two admins, guests can browse forum and use search.  Still work to do but it's going where we want it.
