Multi level folder support for new index view

hmm okay now it does at least something :)

but my folder structure is:

Folder 1
--> Folder 2
-----> Board 2.1
--> Board 1.1
--> Board 1.2

-------

so the folder shows up nicely on top of the boards in folder 1 but it links to folder 1 (index.php?9 instead of index.php?140 as it should do)

hmm.

thanks all the same. another question. it wouldn't be possible to show a board just inside another would it? that I would open board 1.1 and find board 2.1 inside? (our old board had this. for one sublevel at least. and we are really missing it :/ )

I found another problem just now.

as I said my folder structure is the following:

Folder 1
--> Folder 2
-----> Board 2.1
--> Board 1.1
--> Board 1.2

-------
now Folder 1 visible but Boards 1.1 and 1.2 are only to be seen by admins resp. mods. therefore Folder 1 is invisible for all those you are neither admin nor mod.

BUT if I set Folder 2 to visible (for invisible would hide it from EVERYONE incl admins) and I set Board 2.1 (the 'sub-Board') to be visible for admins only I hit a problem as Folder 2 does not check (or so it seems) whether its contents are visible. therefore I get for anonymous (and all other 'normal') users:

Folder 1 -> Folder 2 -> You have no right to see this forum.

which is rather annoying.

really sorry to bother you with that.

Netwalker.

you did this
> I set Board 2.1 (the 'sub-Board') to be visible for admins only

and told this

> therefore I get for anonymous (and all other 'normal') users:
> Folder 1 -> Folder 2 -> You have no right to see this forum.

which is absolutely correct IMO. there is nothing to see for anonymous / normal users as the forum is only visible to admins.

yes and no. if there are no visible boards in a folder the folder itself should vanish from view for everyone except admins. (which folder 1 did perfectly well before folder 2 was introduced) but now folder 2 shows up although its contents are invisible. which it shouldn't do.

Is that better to understand?

yeah but thats a completely different issue than what you told above.
but I'll leave that issue to Oliver.

really sorry about confusing you. I thought it would be clear as I stated that

now hoping for Oliver not to be bothered to much with my questions.

Hi Netwalker,

I just downloaded Phorum 5.1.16a, replaced the two files from my "Multi Levvel Folder Support" and it's working for me like you can see here:
[phorum-5.1.16a.riesen.org]

Folder1 contains (sub-) Folder3

Regards
Oliver

Using Phorum since 7/2000: forum.langzeittest.de (actual version 5.2.23)
Modules "Made in Germany" for version 5.2: Author_as_Sender, CarCost, Close_Topic, Conceal_Message_Timestamp,
Format_Email, Index_Structure, Mailing_List, Pervasive_Forum, Spritmonitor, Terms_of_Service and German_Language_Files_Package.

okay then problem one is buried somewhere in my template. I'll go and look for it.

thanks all the same.

I've modified this so that it more closely matches the look & feel of the 'classic' style in that, within a folder view, every other row can have an alternate color scheme.

It resets the alternating each folder, so that it doesn't look stupid :P

<div class="PhorumNavBlock">
  <span class="PhorumNavHeading">{LANG->Goto}:</span>&nbsp;{IF URL->INDEX}<a class="PhorumNavLink" href="{URL->INDEX}">{LANG->ForumList}</a>&bull;{/IF}<a class="PhorumNavLink" href="{URL->SEARCH}">{LANG->Search}</a>&bull;{INCLUDE loginout_menu}
</div>
<table id="phorum-index" cellspacing="0">
  {LOOP FORUMS}
    {IF FORUMS->level 0}
      <tr class="folder">
        {IF FORUMS->forum_id FORUMS->vroot}
          <th class="forum-name">{LANG->Forums}</th>
        {ELSE}
          <th class="forum-name"><a href="{FORUMS->url}">{FORUMS->name}</a></th>
        {/IF}
        <th class="forum-threads">{LANG->Threads}</th>
        <th class="forum-posts">{LANG->Posts}</th>
        <th class="forum-last-post">{LANG->LastPost}</th>
      </tr>
      <?php $rclass=""; ?>
    {ELSE}
      <tr class="forum<?php echo $rclass;?>">
        {IF FORUMS->folder_flag}
          <td class="forum-name<?php echo $rclass;?>" colspan="4">
            <a href="{FORUMS->URL->INDEX}">{FORUMS->name}</a><p>{FORUMS->description}</p>
          </td>
        {ELSE}
          <td class="forum-name<?php echo $rclass;?>">
            <a href="{FORUMS->url}">{FORUMS->name}</a><p>{FORUMS->description}</p><small>{LANG->Options}: {IF LOGGEDIN true}<a href="{FORUMS->url_markread}">{LANG->MarkForumRead}</a>{/IF}{IF FORUMS->url_rss}{IF LOGGEDIN true}&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;{/IF}<a href="{FORUMS->url_rss}">{LANG->RSS}</a>{/IF}</small>
          </td>
          <td class="forum-threads<?php echo $rclass;?>" nowrap="nowrap">
            {FORUMS->thread_count}
            {IF FORUMS->new_threads}
              (<span class="PhorumNewFlag">{FORUMS->new_threads} {LANG->newflag}</span>)
            {/IF}
          </td>
          <td class="forum-posts<?php echo $rclass;?>" nowrap="nowrap">
            {FORUMS->message_count}
            {IF FORUMS->new_messages}
              (<span class="PhorumNewFlag">{FORUMS->new_messages} {LANG->newflag}</span>)
            {/IF}
          </td>
          <td class="forum-last-post<?php echo $rclass;?>" nowrap="nowrap">{FORUMS->last_post}</td>
        {/IF}
      </tr>
	  <?php if($rclass=="Alt") $rclass=""; else $rclass="Alt"; ?>
    {/IF}
  {/LOOP FORUMS}
</table>

then modify css.tpl to add the following items:
#phorum-index td.forum-nameAlt
#phorum-index td.forum-nameAlt p
#phorum-index td.forum-nameAlt small
#phorum-index td.forum-threadsAlt
#phorum-index td.forum-postsAlt
#phorum-index td.forum-last-postAlt

for me, I just copied the NON-'Alt' version and added a lighter background color.

(actually, in my phorum, I've extracted this info into a .css file which I include instead of dynamically presenting this--seems to save a lot of bandwidth and facilitates client-side caching of the css file)

I'm not using folders at the moment, but I am using the New Style. Is there a MOD or some form of detailed instructions on how to put this into my Forum?

I have the Treeview MOD installed, & would love to have each row, within each Thread, alternating between 2 colours I choose.

I don't necessarily need to have the alternating colour in the Forum Index page, but within each forum thread view, yes.
