Support Forum

OK - database table received thanks. You have a fringe case here but there is an easy fix and we will include this in the next update (which will be 5.4.1). If you want to apply it now then (using the current 5.4.0 file):

The code file needed is /simple-press/forum/content/classes/sp-forum-view-class.php

The function that contains the code to be edited is sp_forumview_query()

You need to locate the line of code that is literally:

foreach($topSubs as $topSub) {

Note that this code appears twice and BOTH instances require the following change. Before editing these lines should be found at line numbers 404 and 499.

Immediately BEFORE the above line of code - add the new line:

sort($topSubs);

and that should resolve things.

To be honest I rather suspect that the main problem here is the sheer number of forums and subforums you have defined. We have a task already planned to rewrite the positioning code and I think it is probably being overwhelmed. Which makes it difficult for me to offer a quick and simple solution. And I do apologise for that.

One quick and dirty way of doing this is to go into the database and edit the data direct but it's not really a very satisfactory way of changing things.

Let me talk it over with colleagues here. But - meanwhile - I am not sure I fully understand your last sentence. What do you mean by 'frozen' please? Can you expand on that?

I have started a topic off here to discuss possible solutions.

I have also now realised that the fix I gave you is not going to be suitable as a permanent fix for this so i need to take another look at that. Hopefully if all goes well - later today.
