Add more subcategories (or subforums) in index

[3nd3r]

Hi. I'm interested in adding more than five subforums posts to index page.

I've found this in .../Themes/default/TPortalAdmin.template.php

Code Select Expand

echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard1">';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board1'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 2
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard2"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board2'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 3
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard3"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board3'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 4
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard4"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board4'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 5
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard5"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board5'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';


So I add one more "select board":

Code Select Expand

echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard1">';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board1'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 2
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard2"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board2'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 3
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard3"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board3'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 4
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard4"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board4'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 5
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard5"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board5'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '
</select> ';
// board 6
echo '
<select size="1" name="tp_ssiboard6"><option value="0">',$txt['tp-none-'],'</option>';
$tn=sizeof($context['TPortal']['boards']);
for($n=0 ; $n<$tn; $n++){
echo '
<option value="'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id'].'" ' ,$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['id']==$context['TPortal']['SSI_board6'] ? 'selected' : '' , '>'.$context['TPortal']['boards'][$n]['name'].'</option>';
}

echo '
</select>

And seems to work... But I've got an error log that aren't showed to users:

Code Select Expand

.../index.php?action=tpadmin;sa=frontpage 

8: Undefined index: SSI_board6
Archivo: .../public_html/Themes/default/Admin.template.php (eval?)
Línea: 813

And if I went back to Admin > TP > Config > Index, I see that 6th category exists but was empty.

Well, how can I add more than five subcategories? I think the key is in SSI_board# (where # are the board number to add a subforum), but I'm not a code expert... Any help please?

Seems like you forgot to add the language strings it needs.
Have you checked so you have added the extra text strings to both the english files and then your custom language ?

[3nd3r]

Thanks for your quick answer.

What files are you talking about?

[JPDeni]

You need to make a change to Sources/TPortalAdmin.php to account for your additional board.

Find

Code Select Expand


$bo=array();
$bo[0]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard1'];
$bo[1]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard2'];
$bo[2]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard3'];
$bo[3]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard4'];
$bo[4]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard5'];


Add the following line to the end of it:

Code Select Expand


$bo[5]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard6'];


You need this code to write the information about the 6th board to the database.

Then, later in the same file find

Code Select Expand


// divide the SSI board into 5 boards
$sib=explode(',',$context['TPortal']['SSI_board']);
for($i=0 ; $i<5 ; $i++){
  if(isset($sib[$i]))
    $context['TPortal']['SSI_board'.($i+1)]=$sib[$i];
  else
    $context['TPortal']['SSI_board'.($i+1)]='';
}


Change each instance of 5 to 6, so that it looks like

Code Select Expand


// divide the SSI board into 6 boards
$sib=explode(',',$context['TPortal']['SSI_board']);
for($i=0 ; $i<6 ; $i++){
  if(isset($sib[$i]))
    $context['TPortal']['SSI_board'.($i+1)]=$sib[$i];
  else
    $context['TPortal']['SSI_board'.($i+1)]='';
}


You need this code to read the information for the 6th board from the database and to define the index for SSI_board6.

Thank you very much!!  :up:

I knew that it could be done!

Works perfect and no errors!  In fact, I add 9 subcategories  Seems to be OK!

[JPDeni]

You're welcome.

Theoretically, you could add a hundred. It would just start to slow things down.

[3nd3r]

Well, I updated to TP 0.9.8. Did same changes, but it's not working...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your time

[3nd3r]

Fixed. Missed modification for TPortalAdmin.template.php

Sorry

[metalmaragato]

in TP 1.0 beta 5-1 dont work

TPortalAdmin.php dont have the code

Code Select Expand


$bo=array();
$bo[0]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard1'];
$bo[1]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard2'];
$bo[2]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard3'];
$bo[3]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard4'];
$bo[4]=$_POST['tp_ssiboard5'];


and neither this code

Code Select Expand


// divide the SSI board into 5 boards
$sib=explode(',',$context['TPortal']['SSI_board']);
for($i=0 ; $i<5 ; $i++){
  if(isset($sib[$i]))
    $context['TPortal']['SSI_board'.($i+1)]=$sib[$i];
  else
    $context['TPortal']['SSI_board'.($i+1)]='';
}


I find the code in TPortalAdmin.template.php but without the correct code in TPortalAdmin.php, I think dont work

}
echo '

Someone can help me?

I do a post here with
