Just wanted to say a big thanks for this one, i'd been pondering for quite a while how I was gonna achieve a spilt forum as I have well over 400 categories to my forum and it's been confusing a lot of my users recently.

Now thanks to the help of this hack, i've done it and got it split into 6 different pages.

So thanks a lot.

However, if a Top-Level Forum has more Subforums that need to be displayed then the defined Limit, it will still be displayed on one Page, as I think it would be confusing (and complicated) to show this on several Pages.
Works without File edits, but does not display navigation Links yet.

any update?

He released his own mod, but it's different. Mine lets you specify which forums you want on which page. His allows you to specify how many forums per page, but not which ones.

I plan on using this as I have several hundred subforums and it is nearly 1mb per page load. I do have one question amy:

array(165,62,171,168,167,166,173,172,169,170,63,83,85,109,106,89);
if(in_array($forum['forumid'],$pagetwoforums)

Is there any rhyme or reason to how you add the forums in the array here? Should you simply do root, then subs, then next root and so on?

Can we choose a different skin for the 2nd page?

Strike my previous question, however, how do I edit the syntax to have more then 2 pages? I tried to throw an elseif in there but I'm not very php literate yet.

I hate to be a pain but can I get a lil better instructions? i tried and it dont seem to be working for me.

[djjeffa]

bump?

[djjeffa]

ok I got it to work but I have 3 problems/Questions
1. will this make it harded for spiders to navagate
2. can I add a third page? ifso how whats the codes.
3 when im on page 2 it still shows a link for page 2 instead of changing to page 1


any help would be apreciated

[amykhar]

I have made significant changes to this gang. It is now a product. You can set which page to put a forum on in the admincp in the forum settings section. Forums default to page 1.

I believe, but have not tested, that this works for multiple pages - not just 2. No tinkering required.
