      :)
      but the problem is, u cant change the messageiconcolor for this frame, so i made a neutral color for that so i can use that with all forums.

        Just to let you know - a much more friendly way of setting styles for forums/categories will be in the next major version :)

          thanks john... that would be very beneficial.....

          i had to go through so many templates just to alter 1 of 23 of my forums at [url]http://www.animeboards.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=3[/url] and it sort of put me off changing the others......

            Is there a way to do the SQL Query so that you don't have to know ahead of time how many categories you want? For example, can you you define an array and pull out the forums in categories from that array?
            For example,
            [code]
            $categorys=$DB_site->query("SELECT categoryid,title,displayorder FROM category WHERE displayorder<>0 and categoryid=$yourcats ORDER BY displayorder");[/code]
            where $yourcats=3,4,9

              No you can't do that - you have to do 'categoryid=2 OR categoryid=3 OR categoryid=5'

                i was actually going to try parsing out a the URL to insert the " OR " statement. Here's what I tried:
                [code]if (isset($catonly)) {
                $yourcat=preg_replace("_", " OR ", $catonly);
                } else {
                $yourcat="";
                }[/code]
                and an URL like: http://www. ... .com/forum/test.php?$catonly=14_18
                and I keep getting the following error:
                Warning: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /usr/local/etc/httpd/sites/bigsoccer.com/htdocs/forum/eb.php on line 4
                as well as a database error.
                Any thoughts (sorr, my php sucks)

                  OK. I figured it out:
                  [code]
                  if (isset($catonly)) {
                  $yourcat=str_replace("_", " OR categoryid=", $catonly);
                  } else {
                  $yourcat="";
                  }[/code]
                  and an URL like [url]http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/eb.php?catonly=11_16_10[/url] and you can choose which categories you want to display. Haven't checked for bugs yet, but it displays (you can see it at that URL).

                    John -

                    Will the forthcoming multiple template feature allow us to have two (or more) totally different views than run right through the forum system? Example: one view is designed for PC users, the other for people browsing on a TV set.

                        Sorry about that. We changed the name of the script when we went live with it. You can see it here: [url]http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/boards.php?go=1.[/url] We also slightly changed the code so I wouldn't have to define all those variables in the URL. With this one, when go=1, it set's catonly=11_16_10 in the script. Additionally, we have it set a variable for the forum name (each one is different using the same template). This way, we can change what categories are in a section without having to change our navigation.

                          Are you going to release your go hack as a hack so others can use it? That would be really great.

                          Thanks

                            I have recieved questions asking the same thing and was wondering if you were going to release or offer it as a "hack"?

                            Just curious.
