XenForo Tutorial: Sub Forum Grid Listing...

These edits will add a GRID LISTING of sub forums in your forum list and forum views.



Its pretty simple... but unfortunately, it requires template edits.

Add to EXTRA.css

HTML:

.subForumsGrid { padding-right: 4px; }
.subForumsGrid .blockLinksGrid { width: 100%; display: inline-block; padding: 5px; }
.subForumsGrid .fullWidth { width: 100% !important; padding-bottom: 4px; }
.subForumsGrid .node { width: 20%; float: left; }
.subForumsGrid .node ol { padding-left: 10px; }
.subForumsGrid .node  a { padding: 5px 10px 5px 18px; }
.subForumsGrid .node .node a { padding: 0px 10px 1px 18px; }
.subForumsGrid .node .nodeTitle { font-size: 11px; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; }
.subForumsGrid .node div,
.subForumsGrid .node div a:hover
{
background-image: url('@imagePath/xenforo/widgets/read.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 50%;
}
.subForumsGrid .node div.unread,
.subForumsGrid .node div.unread a:hover
{
background-image: url('@imagePath/xenforo/widgets/unread.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 50%;
}

Add to the END of the following templates:

1. node_category_level_2
2. node_forum_level_2
3. node_link_level_2
4. node_page_level_2

Code:

<xen:if is="{$level} == 2 AND {$renderedChildren}">
<li class="subForumsGrid">
<ol class="secondaryContent blockLinksList blockLinksGrid">
<xen:foreach loop="$renderedChildren" value="$child">
{xen:raw $child}
</xen:foreach>
</ol>
</li>
</xen:if>

Add to the end of the CLASS on the FIRST LINE of the following templates:

1. node_category_level_n
2. node_forum_level_n
3. node_link_level_n
4. node_page_level_n

Code:

{xen:if $renderedChildren, ' fullWidth'}
