I had this reported before, but have not been able to reproduce it. Scroll down a couple of posts and you will see the discussion about it. The reporter did not have the problem on the their live system, only the test system, so I presume it has to be an issue with the PHP version or some setting in the server.

I'm happy to try and help if I can.

It looks like you have the "Forum Listings Display Options" / "Depth of Forums - Forum Home" &/ "Depth of Forums - Forum Display" set as 2. I think you will be happier with them set as 1.

It is production server, testvb instalation. It raises warnings to all chr29 and chr30 manipulations. I do not understand why are you using this two markers, so can not fix it.

Regards

Char 29 & 30 are used as they would not impact any forum names. You can always open my XML file and do a search and replace in my product xml of "chr(29)" to "chr(221)" and "chr(30)" to "chr(222)" <Check if those numbers work and are not valid in your character set>

Depth of Forums - Forum Home: 2
Depth of Forums - Forum Display: 0
Depth of Sub-Forums: 1

I sent you an PM now you can access to my forum to have a quick look.

P/S: My forum use Vietnamese but some box like Sony PlayStation they have many child forums (PS, PS2, PS3, PSP) but sorting problem is always appear...

That's it. Thank you!

Sorry for the delay... I had a look and I can see that it is trying to sort, but the alphabetic order is getting confused. You can see this by selecting the different sorting options and you will see that the display order does change.

Two options now are:
1) Give me a higher login access so I can check the forums, styles and the plug-in code
or
2) Manually set the 'forum display order' that you would like to see each SubForum appear in [do this in the forum manager] and set my PlugIns sorting option as "forum display order across/down"

Let me know how you go!

I choose this one and you can check my forums again.

Hope the problem will be solved soon. :)

I believe I have it working properly... Seems that your site also has issues with chr(29) and chr(30) [it strips them which stuffs up my PlugIn]

I did a search and replace in my product xml of "chr(29)" to "chr(221)" and "chr(30)" to "chr(222)" which seems to have solved everything. Not sure it those characters will have an impact on the names given the Vietnamese character set. Let me know how it goes before I make this a permanent change for all.

Thank you and love you so much! :D

Sorting fuction seems to be work but some characters in Vietnamese was sorted not correctly.

Now: A - B - C .. - Z - Â - Á - 1 - 2 - 3 (???)

Correct (in vietnamese): 1 - 2 - 3 - A - Â - Á (or À Ạ Ã Ả) - B - C ... - Z

Would you please to help me again?

My pleasure, although I still need to ensure that chr(221) and chr(222) are not valid characters in your character set that may be used in a forum name.

I did notice that, however I am not aware of a way to solve this. I use the inbuilt php function "strcasecmp" to do the sorting which gives the result you see. If someone is aware of a php function that will sort correctly for a Vietnamese character set, I will be more than happy to investigate this further.

thank u

Is there a solution that does this not only for the forumhome but also when viewing category and forum pages?

Example:
My Forumhome , Category page , Forum page.

See how the last two could benefit from having the sub-forums organized like forumhome. This is the solution that I really need.

Can't see your examples at the moment, however I the PlugIn does work at any level. I'm sure that you have the Forum list display options / Forum home depth > 1 - Just make sure that the forum display option is also > 1

Hi Sorky, thanks for this great addition.

One question though:

I use a Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2 and would like to contiune to use this setting. I'd like to have certain forumids show their subforums in your compressed list-style and leave te remaining ones as they are now. Is this possible with the current product?

Thanks
Thomas
