Tidy Child Boards

[Wapilbn]

i install this mod on 2.0.5 or 2.06 version of SMF and do updates do 2.0.xx (11).... thats why i'm afraid this isnt work...

[br360]

You said on another post that you are using 2.0.11, is that correct?

If you go into your package manager and emulate the version to 2.0.5 or 2.0.6 (or whatever earlier version is needed to uninstall this), your forum itself isn't actually going to that version, you are only emulating your version for the sole purpose of installing/uninstalling that specific mod.

Read the link that was posted earlier as it does explain in much better detail what actually happens when you emulate your version- http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_can_I_install_a_mod_that_doesn%27t_work_in_my_SMF_version

I really should write a new version that just installs on all 2.0 versions and doesn't make theme edits.

Oh yes yes yes Please do that !:)


Ps. Ok, a reinstall this mod ( emulated 2.0.4 ) and... and nothing Not work....  only in REDSY :/   In other themes ( like premium CITIEZ by dzinerstrudio ) it work, everything is ok. In REDSY not... i don't know what is going on..

That would be awesome if you could Arantor.

I did double check by following the uninstall/reinstall steps above, and it will work on redsy without having to do any manual edits on that theme. Did you make sure to check the redsy theme as well when you scrolled to the Install in Other Themes option?

[Arantor]

OH HAI THAR

I just added a new version of the mod, (almost) complete rewrite done this evening. Only this time, NO THEME EDITS REQUIRED, and it only makes two file edits this time.

[br360]

Nice. Thank you Arantor. 

[Steve]

Freaking awesome job Arantor!

Was one column not an option?

[Arantor]

One column was never an option

[Steve]

Works for me then.

[Wapilbn]

Super. Everything works fine

Btw... how to increase distance between columns ? ( in two colums configuration )

[Arantor]

Screenshot please?

There isn't the room to make it wide enough. Even if the spacing is adjusted, it's going to put the long name up against the other column.

Perhaps you could add

Code Select Expand

white-space: nowrap;

into the

Code Select Expand

<li>

[Arantor]

That would force it onto one line, sure, but the resultant combined width would make the containers flow oddly and force the lists to partially attempt to flow outside of the container since they're floated.

Hi problem with the new tidychild

Code Select Expand

Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare tidyChildBoards() (previously declared in /homepages/14/d562938237/htdocs/musociety/Sources/Subs-BoardIndex.php:345) in /homepages/14/d562938237/htdocs/musociety/Sources/Subs-BoardIndex.php on line 345

at first I deinstall it....

[Kindred]

you have double-installed the mod...  you will have to manually remove the duplicated code...

[musicus]

I install now the old version
