Seasons Greetings, Everyone.

I am happy to announce:
Sub-boards for YaBB 2
Version 1.0.8
Quote:

This mod allows one to create sub-boards for YaBB 2.1 release.

Installation:
1) First thing to do is go to your default templates in the Admin Center and save the Display.template file. (On a fresh download the default template has &rsaquo; in the text instead of ›. Saving the file via the Admin Center will automatically change it.)
2) Save the SubBoard.lng file to the language's designated directory.
3) Install the Sub-Boards_for_Y2-1_1-0-8.mod via BoardMod.exe

To create a sub-board:
1) In the Manage Boards section, edit or add a board.
2) Under the Location option, choose a parent board for your currently edited board, and Save.

To reorder the subboards:
1) Click the "Reorder Sub-boards" link in the Manage Boards section.
2) Rearrange the boards in the order you choose, and Save.

If you already have subboards from one of the previous mods, you need to save one of your boards in the Manage Boards section of the Admin Center to generate some arrays needed to display subboard stats.

A major bug that occurs when uninstalling the mod has been fixed in version 1.0.8
When uninstalling version 1.0.2 the /Admin/ManageBoards.pl file is changed from the original version. Version 1.0.3, and all subsequent versions, cannot be installed if you uninstall version 1.0.2.
If you installed version 1.0.2, in order to install version 1.0.8, you need to re-upload the /Admin/ManageBoards.pl file to your YaBB directory.

The mod includes the frequently-asked-for sub-board stats, and new posts icon! Also included Search and recent post compatibility.

This mod should work with out any problems. Please let me know if you do experience any problems with this mod.

Hi,
merry Christmas and thx for the mod.

I have a Error in Step 36.

The mod search for:
Code:

<td class="windowbg2" width="55%" align="left"><a name="<yabb boardanchor>" href="<yabb boardurl>"><yabb boardpic><b><yabb boardname></b></a><br /><yabb boarddesc><br /><br /><span class="small"><i><yabb moderators></i></span></td>

In my boardindex.template is written:
Code:

<td class="windowbg2" width="55%" align="left"><a name="<yabb boardanchor>" href="<yabb boardurl>"><yabb boardpic><b><yabb boardname></b></a><br /><yabb boarddesc><br /><span class="small"><i><yabb moderators></i></span></td>

After changing the mod runs Wink

Best regards
Mick

Hi BRO_co03
I dont know if this a bug. If you have a new posts in subboards, that not display on BoardIndex, only if you go to MessageIndex. Is that true?

Another Display bug, Threads on Subboards not displaying on BoardIndex.

Example:

you have 2 Topics on Sub-boards and 2 threads but on Boards are displaying 2 Topics, but it should 4 Topics. That Total Count on Boardindex is wrong.

If you add BoardPics you get a text in discription. See images above is without boardpic and below with boardpic. With one Boardpic is ok, but 2 or more wil get this below on image This happing if you add boardpic on sub-boards, no boards.

The BoardIndex.template file that comes on a fresh YaBB 2.1 board has two line breaks ( ) after the <yabb boarddesc>.

Something to do with this bit &rsaquo

The original Display.template file has &rsaquo; in it. Saving it (via the Edit Templates feature of the Admin Center) automatically changes the &rsaquo; into › which the Sub-board mod looks for.

Example:

That is correct. The BoardIndex only shows the new posts icon if there are new posts in that board, not sub-boards. However I could add that feature in a future release.

The same thing applies to the topic and post count. It does not include the topic and post count of any sub-boards. I will also include that in a future release.

If you add BoardPics you get a text in discription. See images above is without boardpic and below with boardpic. With one Boardpic is ok, but 2 or more wil get this below on image

This happing if you add boardpic on sub-boards, no boards.

I can't seem to recreate your problem. Is that BoardPic Mod mdrmdr's Message index with default board picture mod?
