Changing Default Forumbit in forumlist

[jshort]

Hello,

I'm currently in the process of developing a plugin that will allow me to change which forumbit templates are used for my forums based on a specific forum setting.

Essentially, my forums can be checked as either "A" or "B". I'm trying to hook into the functions_forumlist to change the $forum_list eval so get $templates->forumbit_a_ or $templates->forumbit_b.

Trying to just change the eval with an if/else statement doesn't seem to work, nor can I get access to the $forumcat or $depth variables to tack a prefix on to those.

Here's the code:

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

$plugins->add_hook("build_forumbits_forum", "plugin_forumbits"); function plugin_forumbits($forum) { global $mybb, $templates; if($forum['type_a'] == 1) { eval("\$forum_list .= \"".$templates->get("forumbit_depth$depth$forumcat_a")."\";"); } else { eval("\$forum_list .= \"".$templates->get("forumbit_depth$depth$forumcat")."\";"); } }

---

I have been able to accomplish this by directly editing the functions_forumlist.php file, but I wanted to see if I could make it a plugin instead.

I'm aware that xthreads has this capability, but the xthreads plugin is overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish. I would also like to avoid putting conditionals in all the individual templates.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: Not sure who changed the topic title of my request - but Threaded Mode | Linear Mode isn't what I'm talking about.
