 Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2004 2:08 am Post subject: [DISC] DHTML Collapsible Forum Index MOD v1.1.1 |
 |
|
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Due to lack of time, I decided to officially discontinue further development of this MOD, including support.
One of the things that, at some point in time, delayed this MOD is I was waiting for CH210 to get released. When it was released, I had no time to spend here, and now... I do not have time to offer support either, to be honest.
I would be very happy, if anyone would like to take over the MOD. Just drop me a PM.

phpBB topic for this MOD:
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=219286
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MOD Title: DHTML Collapsible Forum Index MOD
MOD Version: 1.1.1 (CH version in DEV stage)
MOD Description: This MOD uses DHTML to replace the effect of the GET variable "c" on Forum Index (which requires to send a request to the server). So, it expands/collapses forum categories on the browser itself. It should work on latests versions of all major browsers, and is supposed to degrade correctly on non-supported browsers (ie: all categories remain open).
Notes: This MOD now includes two different implementations:
a) First one works for "standard" Forum Index.
b) Another one (in contrib folder) for Categories Hierarchy MOD 2.0.4.
Please, for further information, read Author Notes (MOD Header below).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Known Issues:
At this moment, this MOD does NOT support sub-forums! (see author notes in MOD header, below).
By sub-forums I mean forums attached to forums.
If you try to use this MOD with sub-forums, you'll figure soon why it doesn't work.
a) In forum index, they are rendered as forums rather than categories.
b) sub-forums generate several javascript errors.
As per this version, I'm afraid, it will not support sub-forums. As I still don't know how to deal with them.
Workaround:
Let's say you have this:
-Category 1
---Forum 1
-----Forum 2
-----Forum 3
---Forum 4
-----Forum 5
-----Forum 6
For ALL forums containing sub-forums (1 and 4 in the example):
1) Create a new category attached to its parent.
2) Attach ALL sub-forums to new category.
So, it should look like this:
-Category 1
---Forum 1
---New Category A
-----Forum 2
-----Forum 3
---Forum 4
---New Category B
-----Forum 5
-----Forum 6

## Author Notes:
##
## phpBB related:
## - Tested with phpBB 2.0.10
## - It is highly recommened to use EasyMOD to install this MOD.
##
## MOD Script related:
## - This MOD Script has been written with EasyMOD in mind, so it tries to avoid conflicts with other
## MODs that you may have previously installed against the same files modifies here.
## - That means it may be somehow complex to follow this MOD actions manually, so... I highly recommend
## to use EasyMOD to install this MOD. :P
## - On the other hand, I have added several comments, aimed to help you if you can't use EasyMOD for
## whatever reason. Anyway, think twice and take it easy ...also make backups, just in case. ;-)
##
## DHTML related:
## - It's based on the onclick event for TR tag and style.display attribute.
## - It should work on latests versions of all major browsers.
## - It has been tested and works on:
## MSIE 6, Netscape 7.1, Mozilla 1.7.2, Firefox 0.9.3, Opera 7, Mozilla/Linux and Konqueror 3.x
## No feedback on Mac browsers, yet, but probably works on IEMac 5 and Safari.
## - It has been tested and degardes gracefully on:
## W3C Amaya, Hotjava 3, Netscape 4, Opera 5 and 6.
## - Degrading means its features are completely disabled, so users with legacy browsers or javascript disabled
## will not notice this MOD is there, as Forum Index will behave as standard.
##
## Categories Hierarchy MOD (CH) related:
## - In the contrib folder, you'll find another version of this MOD that works with CH.
## *** IMPORTANT *** It ONLY works with version 2.0.4 of Categories Hierarchy MOD !!!
## - Both MOD scripts shared the same Author Notes and MOD History sections.
## Though, they have different names. The one on the contrib folder is suffixed by (CH).
## - For Categories Hierarchy MOD, it works when Index Packing is set to None or Medium.
## However, it is disabled when it is set as Full. It also supports Split Categories on Index enabled or disabled.
## *** WARNING ***
## PROBLEM: It does NOT support sub-forums !!!
## Problem with categories as sub-forums is they are rendered as forums. TBH, at this time, I don't know
## how to deal with this layout (I mean, a reasonable approach). Maybe for next version. ;-)
## WORKAROUND: you should create a new category and convert the current category/sub-forum as a plain forum
## under (attached to) that category.

##############################################################
## MOD History:
##
## 2004/09/07 - 1.1.1
## - Fixed bug with CFI cookie names. Solves a problem with initial categories state for CH version.
##
## 2004/09/06 - 1.1.0
## - Added support for Categories Hierarchy MOD (CH v2.0.4). Please, read author notes (above).
## - Almost all javascript code has been re-written with a more Object Oriented approach.
## - Added CFI options panel, allows expand/collapse all, and save/restore additional state.
##
## 2004/08/22 - 1.0.3
## - Added check for display attribute support to the onload event.
## - Fixed management of the display queue.
##
## 2004/08/22 - 1.0.2
## - Added state persistence using cookies.
## It will not collapse a category when expanding another one. And it will remind which categories are
## expanded between sessions (using cookies). So, the end-user will be able to set the state of the
## forum index exactly as he/she wishes.
## The expand/collapse effect will work on all supported browsers and, for non-supported browsers,
## degrade to standard behaviour. ie. all categories remain open and the GET var c=xx is not disabled.
##
## 2004/08/20 - 1.0.1
## - Fixed an issue with display='block'. Firefox failed to display correctly the row.
## It now uses display=''. Works with IE, Firefox, Mozilla 1.7+
## For browsers supporting display attribute, the GET var c=xx is disabled.
## - The display attribute is not supported by Opera(*) and legacy browsers. In such case,
## the categories are initially opened ...and the GET var c=xx is enabled.
## Note(*): Opera 5/6 has the display attribute, but can't be changed !!!
##
## 2004/08/20 - 1.0.0
## - Initial release
