Please note that I didn't write this code. It was written by other members of the phpBB Team (who will be credited when I get the exact member names
). I am merely documenting how to do it. As will all the other snippets, this will not come in MODx format. Please also note that I may not be able to help with any technical queries about this.Lastly - this snippet is only supported with prosilver based styles. Please don't ask to get for support with subSilver2 based styles as I don't work with any sS2 based styles.

For the next part, you need to replace your entire forumlist_body.html file. I recommend backing up this file in case you ever want to revert back. There is also multiple ways to set this up, more details below
Change the DEFINE $FORUMS to 1in this part to specify the max number of forums before it starts putting them into a second column. This is the output:
Setting DEFINE $FORUMS = 3 will give this output: (Notice that the 2nd catagory only has 2 forum, so it's displayed as normal).
Edit: Below is what you should replace your forumlist_body.html file with
- Code: Select all
<!-- DEFINE $FORUMS = 1 -->
<!-- BEGIN catrow -->
<div class="forabg">

Although the screenshots above don't show it, the above code includes the code to show the last topics/posts from each forum. Here is a screenshot below that shows it. Included is how it would look with a forum image as well.
Now here is a look at some of the subforum views. Depending on how many subforums you have and what you set the DEFINE at, will change how this displays. These screenshots are based on DEFINE being 1 with 1 and 2 subforums
This is all running from a default un-modded phpBB 3.0.2. If i've missed anything, if anything prosilver template-wise doesn't work, please let me know. I would appreciate anyone trying this, to try it on their prosilver template 1st before another style to make sure it works. That way we can work out other style quirks later.

halabit - for updating the subSilver2 code
Comment:
[goto=ss2]SubSilver2 Code[/goto] - this is untested and unsupported. I only post it here so others can use it. I have not modified it in any way from the original code given to me.
This code has now been updated by halabit - you can see a demo a few posts down.
