Category and Post Splitter

[Ryan Roos]

If Wormo made you a code in v4 then he will likely make a plugin in v5 for everyone.

If he wanted he could add it to the plugin library on ProBoards. Then its as simple as installing the plugin. You don't even need to deal with the code at all in v5.

well he didnt make it. he just edited the codes needed for it to work.

they'll get made. Don't worry.

There's going to be so many plugins that we need a library for them. And there will be an area for requests. I'm pretty sure its going to be crazy the things that people come up with. The post splitter will be small in comparison and will probably exist in multiple forms by multiple authors.

alright. thanks. I'm worrying lol. thank you guys. ryan i love you

Well if that's the case. then idk if that will work. cause some posts are longer/shorter than others ya know?

CSS allows you to place multiple background images such that they will expand to the size of the post.

I think it would be nice if there was an option to have the categories and the posts split. I really like these features of forums. And I have seen them used on quite a few forums. So I hope this is good enough to put in. Thanks Proboards Staff for all the hard work you guys are putting in to make the best forum out there.

Upon reading this post the first time, I took your request as an option to do the following:

A) Split Categories
B) Split Posts

Thus, not having to embed a code -- but rather, use a drop down (if you will), to make the aforementioned happen.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

A) What would be the point? You can do this in the admin area by dragging and dropping boards into new categories.

B) You can already split threads apart in v5.

Not sure if 'dragging and dropping' is the same as wanting the ability to split cat's and posts without embedding a code.

.. and the ability to split threads in v5 ... is this done via the admin section or? ..

A) By splitting categories, do you mean moving boards form one category to another, or adding space (visually) between the categories on the index page?

B) Same question as above, but about posts.

Yes, RB, exactly! .. from a visual sense -- regarding, both.

This was already covered early in this thread.

A) Already is split.

B) You can do this with codes or plugins easily.
