Output forum titles on all pages

Hi,

I am new to phorum and have a problem with my template / view:

I want to show the main forum titles on all (some) pages.
So I looked at the index.tpl how it is done there and I copied the LOOP FORUMS into list.tpl, but that doesn't work.
I couldn't find where the variable FORUMS is build.

Is my request possible or must I create a module?

Thank you for help,
Stephan

that's build in index.php or the dependant functions. All data is only loaded for the views where its expected to be used.

Well, there are some modules which load the data and show them. jumpmenu module for example which shows a menu with the titles of the forums.
So a module would be the way to go but you could start with an existing one.

That's what I thought. :)

OK, I found the jumpmenu allready and I think I will build a new module and take snippets of the jumpmenu.

Thank you!

Hi Stephan,

perhaps this module is the right one:

Module: Pervasive Forum

Hi Oliver,

thank you for the hint!

I installed it, enabled it and defined the settings - but it doesn't seem to work.
Maybe it is not what I am looking for?

I managed it with a quick and very dirty solution: I put some PHP-Code with SQL-Queries in the template files, where I want it to show. :-)
I know, this is not a good solution, but it works. And if I have enough time one day, I will try it again with a module.

Sorry, it is under development and just on my local machine. When it is online, I post the URL.

Here is the code snippet to show the forum titles:

Language: PHP
<?php
$user_name = "###";
$password = "###";
$database = "###";
$server = "###";
$db_handle = mysql_connect($server, $user_name, $password);
$db_found = mysql_select_db($database, $db_handle);
if ($db_found)	{
	$SQL = "SELECT forum_id, name FROM phorum_forums ORDER BY display_order";
	$result = mysql_query($SQL);
	while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
		echo "<tr><td><a href=\"list.php?" . $db_field[';forum_id';] . "\">" . $db_field[';name';] . "</a></td></tr>";
	}
	mysql_close($db_handle);
} else {
	print "Database NOT Found";
}
?>
