Sub-Forums

[dgibs]

I am having trouble getting sub-forums to be listed in a grid like XF1

however in XF2 version I get

It seems that XF1 created a separate div for subforums below the Node info, but in XF2 the subforums are within the node info div.

Is there a way to get the grid look back?
Thanks david

So 2 step process:

Open template: node_list_forum, find this:

                <xf:if is="$depth == 2 AND property('nodeListSubDisplay') == 'flat'">
                    <xf:macro template="forum_list" name="sub_nodes_flat"
                        arg-children="{$children}"
                        arg-childExtras="{$childExtras}"
                        arg-depth="{{ $depth + 1 }}" />
                </xf:if>

And move it....

            </div>     
        </div>
RIGHTHERE
    </div>

    <xf:if is="{$depth} == 1">

Then in your extra.less:

.node-subNodesFlat {
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 10px;
    border: 1px solid #CCC;
}

Adjust to whatever you'd like.


I think we can actually get it in as an option... I don't like the placement of the default sub-forums myself.

I agree. That would be a nice option! Thanks for the help, worked well.

One note I did add this to extra.less

.node-subNodeFlatList > li {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-bottom: 1px;
    width: 31%;
    float: left;
}

I think you had that in XF1 version, which gave me back the 3 column look.

Open template: node_list_forum, find this:

It seems this has changed, as I cant find the text in that template on Nova on xf2.1.

Has the option been added? This would be nice to have.

Still the same edit, check line 86 in that template.

XF2 editor you can't use the browser ctrl-f function anymore just as a heads up. You need to click in the editor first, then hit ctrl f. Also search for single lines, like:

<xf:if is="$depth == 2 AND property('nodeListSubDisplay') == 'flat'">

and:

<xf:if is="{$depth} == 1">

Thanks!

I used this:

.node-subNodeFlatList > li {
    display: inline-block;
    margin-left: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 1px;
    width: 25%;
    float: left;
}

The left margin was needed to keep the node icons from breaking outside the container and to align the subforum node icons with the forum node icon..

I posted this on XF.com if anyone is interested.

Sub-Forums Grid

This template modification displays the sub-forums below the parent node body. First step: Ensure the style property nodeListSubDisplay is set to "Listed below node", you can find this in Style properties > Node/forum list Template...
