I guess I'll just go through all the files again, and manually add the changes.. A looong morning ahead of me I guess sigh..</p> <p>Well, wait, it's applying to the rest though, so now I *only* have to edit those three mentioned above.. wheew!</p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-3458 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 16:22:39 +0000 spencerp 3458@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Awesome!!

However, I'm not one for core edits really, but I might give it a go, unless of course Josh comes up with something soon!? :P</p> <p>*cough* I really would like to see this, maybe, implemented in the .80 version.. *cough* lol.. </p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-2699 Sat, 30 Dec 2006 14:59:00 +0000 pontus 2699@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hehe, it was a pice of cake. :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.crazy-media.com/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crazy-media.com/bbpress/</a></p> <p>AND it is easy to add the extra "step" to " Website Design &gt; HTML Basics &gt; Whats wrong with my site" to the top-links if you like and it's easy to group the result on the frontpage if you like.<br /> ("General (forum cat block 1) &gt;<br /> --Latest news (forum under general cat)<br /> --General Discussions (forum under general cat)<br /> --Site Feedback (forum under general cat)")</p> <p>Well I think it feels "to much" so I made a new row in the table insted of giving every caregory its own line but its an easy to fix. Well, I didnt found any easy way to add a "middle-forum", like it is in phpBB. If you clock on a categori you see all avalible forums.</p> <p>Well, well. My point with this post, if you would like i can post the code and changes. But I warn you, my "hack" isnt realy nice, it demands changes in the db, in the corefiles and ofcause template. And worst of all, it uses crapy if-else and no fancy "all data in the db and one function for each job"-stuff. I'm a newbi so I'm using newbi sollutions. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-2654 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 08:09:28 +0000 spencerp 2654@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Oh yeah, I agree totally about how it could "slow down" a forum. ;) I'm not worried about that really, I'm specifically asking if/for this to be possible with bbPress, so I don't have to use those *other* forum softwares though.. =P</p> <p>I guess I'll have to wait on what Josh comes up with, I think he's planning on doing something about this then.. whee!</p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-2616 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 12:09:45 +0000 LordCoder 2616@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ok if my PHP/MySQL knowledge is still good , the plugin must , on the first use , add a new collumn to bb_topics table ( named for example cat_id ) , and a new table titled bb_cats .</p> <p>On each use of the plugin , it must check if everything is good ( the collumn cat_id , the table bb_cats ) before continuing , and if not , it must display the default structure of the forum .</p> <p>To perform this last , there must be new template tags which can be ignored if the plugin installation is wrong , so the plugin needs its proper template file ...</p> <p>We know that the goal of BBPress is to be light and fast , so if you code all the things above and use them on a plugin , BBPress will be slower , i think like PunBB ...</p> <p>So my tip is ; don't use categories , try to remove no useful forums , merge some forums if they are similar , and you'ill have a good order without categories . </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-2603 Mon, 25 Dec 2006 01:50:12 +0000 spencerp 2603@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>So, anyone with any ideas on this?

To assign each specific forum, to the category..? </p> <p>I was thinking of, maybe some how skipping the "loop" for the current forum "database calls".. and just hard code it into the front-page, by calling in the forum's [id's].. bare in mind, I'm no PHP Pro here.. lol </p> <p>Anyone think something like that will work, or..?</p> <p>spencerp<br /> /And yes, my english grammar sucks too!

Like phpBB has..</p> <p>Example:<br /> General (forum cat block 1) &gt;<br /> --Latest news (forum under general cat)<br /> --General Discussions (forum under general cat)<br /> --Site Feedback (forum under general cat)</p> <p>Website Design (forum cat block 2) &gt;<br /> --HTML Basics (forum under website design cat)<br /> --PHP Coding (forum under website design cat)<br /> --CSS (forum under website design cat)</p> <p>Is anyone up for doing this maybe? I think it would be nice to have this option though, rather then having ALL the forums listed under ONE Section only.. :) ;)</p> <p>spencerp </p>
