[Block] Board Index Menu

[sanax]

Not really. What it does is only shows the categories and boards if the user is allowed.

ahhh, ok, I forgot you can hide categories via the permissions?
Hope that will do the trick, Thanks

i want to put this just below my webpage in a frontpage block..  currently, all the links show up vertically, can someone tell me how to put the links (categories, boards, topics) horizontally, like in a table form..  this is to emulate those blogs with category links underneath their webpage

example

category 1     category 3     category
  board 1          board 3          board
    2 topics          2 topics         topics
                      board 4
category 2  
  board 2
    2 topics

etc..

thanks in advance!

First of all, this is a wonderful code snippet. Thanks to IchBin for the great work.  I'd like to come back to the question of Alving. Is there a way to put the links horizontally so that it can be used for a centre block?

[IchBin]

I can think of a way to make it output like this possibly.

board1        board2
board3        board4


However, I can't think of a way to make it go this way: (although I'm sure its possible, I just don't know atm)

board1        board3
board2        board4

Is that ok?

Thank you very much.
I hacked away at it (I can't code) and I stripped the menu down so that it does NOT show the post count. I failed miserably a couple of times (syntax errors) but I got the ; and the { in working order. Your comments were very helpfull.

[IchBin]

Glad its working for you. And good working doing a modification to it. :up:

can you please give this a go ichbin?  thanks in advance

[IchBin]

Ok, so how do you want it to look? Categories won't line up with boards listing it this way. So would you rather just list the boards and not the categories? Do you want topics/posts count displayed? How many columns do you want? Give me as many details as you can please.

[alving]

just the board names will do and pls include topic counts.  can child boards' topic counts be included as well?
maybe 6 columns will do and is it possible to have the number of columns changeable?

thanks

[IchBin]

Having the columns changeable should work. I just have to figure out how to pull the info from the arrays. Can you give me an idea of how you want it displayed? Do you want the topic count to be under? Or in another column to the side of the board title? Please be as specific as you can. I'm not sure if topic count will work with child boards at this time.

[alving]

topic counts can be under the board title just like what the original code here does..  it's just the columnar arrangement, that i'm keen of..
