Hey.

Maybe you could add an option to show the whole forum on one page.
For example on my homepage I have several subforums like this:

Sequencer Forum
- Cubase
- Ableton
- ...

Homerecording
- Mixing
- Mastering
- ...

and so on. If it's not too much work this option might be quite interesting and would also make it easier to browse through different forums.

Regards

Florian

One of the reasons UIEForum came into existence was because the current forum behaves just like that - and I didnt like it one little bit :)

While its certainly possible, and it could be a separate, dedicated page within the module for listing them like this, I'm not sure about it ;) I'll have a look at it on Thursday evening when I sit down for my next coding session though - if I can find a nice way of doing it (and presenting it) then I'll include it in the next commit!

I'd also like to see this, I love UIEForum - it's miles better than the native Drupal forum. However I like the phpBB style of forum - where you have containers and forums - as opposed to Forums and Subforums - I DO like having subforums - so perhaps the SMF compromise - All Three! :-)

Well, really, all containers are, are forums that you cannot post in.
So just lock the forum that you want to use as a container ;)

I'd like to put my +1 to this.

I was hoping to integrate phpBB or Invision into my Drupal website because the default forum was terrible. Then I stumbled across this module.

There are just a few things I'd like to see that are in the "Big Brand" forums and this is one of them.

Here's another vote.
It would be nice to see even collapsible list of subforums.

On the other note, I was trying to display links to subforums in forum's description area, but they display as source code (including tags like etc). Any workaround?

Sorry, seems Drupal is parsing my 'a' tag just nicely :-). I was talking about p, div, a tags etc.

This is a stab at this issue that suits my needs and some of you might find it usefull too. What you get is this:

On the root page of the uieforums the subforums of the first dimension are being displayed. As soon as you leave the root page it's back to uieforums regular behaviour. To enable this function you have a new Checkbox on the Admin/Config/Misc section.

The patch is based on the CVS version from the 2007-07-17. It works fine on my site but I haven't done any extensive testing, so please test this patch before applying it to any productive sites.

I've examined and tested the patch, it appears to work perfectly well...

Again, I'm impressed Melereg :)
I'm confident that the patch works correctly so I'm applying it to the main code (5.0 and HEAD)
