One way would be to have Categories.
The possibility to group several rooms into one category.

Sounds nice, and not hard do implement at all! ;)
If everything works fine, I think this may come in the next release...

[brunnopleffken]

Yeah! This is how it looks!

Good work, Brunno.
When I wrote my forum script, I have an admin function for DisplayOrder. Just by changing a number I can move a forum up and down in the frontpage. I call it 'rank' in my database. We could have rank for category and rank for forum inside a category.

[brunnopleffken]

Actually there is a field for displaying order that hasn't been yet programmed...

CREATE TABLE `c_categories` (
  `c_id` int(2) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(30) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `order_n` int(2) DEFAULT NULL,
  `visible` int(1) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`c_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

I want to create something like this: https://jqueryui.com/sortable/
Drag and drop will make things a lot easier!

Another enhancement that I want to do is to not show any category when there's only one category or the others are empty. In this case, there isn't any division, the "category" is the community itself.

That is most convinient. Drag and drop.
In many places I have seen the use of up-arrow and down-arrows.
I wanted it simple, so I made to fill in numbers in a form input field: 2,1,4,3 etc.

[brunnopleffken]

I was thinking... For now I think I'll proceed this way: numbers in an input field.
So I can release v0.6.0 as soon as possible with all those fixes we did last week.

I'll create this drag-and-drop stuff as an enhancement (v 0.6.1 or 0.7.0).

[halojoy]

I did a foreach inside the form. Which produce an array in $_POST.
This input array is used to UPDATE the ranking field of forums.
Yes.
You can always fix a drag and drop later. This is something I could not do :)
I can only use PHP in my scripts.
I don't think I will have to show my code. I am sure you know how.

[brunnopleffken]

That's it! After a few days busy with other hard works, the commit 087444c closes this improvement suggestion. This will be released soon in v0.6.0.
