Yes, either one.

@Matt C. After updating to the latest version, this shows up. However, it doesn't appear on the second installation I did on another domain, where I installed the latest version directly.

Can you double check that /src/addons/MC/ForumLayouts/Option/RandomizeColors.phpexists on your server? It's saying that it's missing. I had another client install just fine. If if it's not there, upload the file or try reinstalling.

Fixed, thx!

I've noticed that threads pending approval aren't showing up in the fluid view. Is this intended behavior for the add-on? Shouldn't they be visible if the user has the necessary permissions to view pending threads? Thx.

No, it's not the intended behavior. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll have a fix out by tonight or tomorrow.

@Matt C. - First of all, I absolutely love this add-on! Fantastic work!

Can you please add the option (in card view) to also pull recent threads from sub-forums? Currently, the card view only pulls from the parent forum and any child forum threads are not included.

Yeah, it was intended to only show the latest topics per parent forum, not children. But, yeah let me look into adding children. I'll try to roll that in with the above bug.

1.0.8 Released

We have a new version with a couple of improvements.

There is a new style property option that will display a label indicating which subforum the topic comes from. This can also be disabled, but comes...

Amazing! Thank you so much!

@Matt C. - I have the "Create Pages for Categories" setting enabled. In the table view, the category titles are linked. However, in the card view, the category titles are not linked.

In the next update, can you please link the categories in the card view, also?

@Matt C. - Thank you so much for this update. This is an amazing Add-On!

No worries! You're site looks great btw. I think you're the only person using card view front and center.

Thank you! Yeah, I think the card view gives the site a lot more personality and makes it look less dated. I also love that users have the option to switch if they prefer something different. Great work on your part!

Feature request for the "Cover image" option: please add an option to set an emoji instead of an image.

An image for each of the 100+ forums would be too heavy but very light if all of them are just using an emoji.

 

[Matt C.]

Yeah...the card view layout is not really ideal for boards with 100+ forums.

I'll look into adding an emoji option, hadn't thought of that.

Right now though, if you install @Xon's Font Awesome node icons add-on, then the node icon will take place over the cover if no image is set.

Another feature request, useful for forums with 100 sections.

For the "Card view," instead of listing each forum's 5 new topics, maybe add an option to list 5 new topics per category.

Right now though, if you install @Xon's Font Awesome node icons add-on, then the node icon will take place over the cover if no image is set.

That is useful too.
I have mine now, each forum node title with an emoji on each title itself.

I might re-organize this setup:
