Alternate forum Home Display forum layout

[Sinistra]

My first thing to post so I hope you like. This template edit will give your forum a cool look and real easy to work with. This is something I applied on a site I use to do mod installs for but That ship sailed Anywho you can see a live demo

<removed as no longer valid>

[Lpspider]

What exactly does it do?

[chimaira]

Look at the demo posted.. Then look at your forum home layout... Notice any difference? Well thats what this does ;)...

Wont be using this as i already have forumhomeset out the way i like it.... But yours does look nice.. good work

views / posts moved

- It's cool if your not looking for stats fast.
- for power users that scan pages for stat changes its a pain.
- great if you want to add a "side" to the forums (less space taken up by columns)

[zajako]

For those who dont get it, It moves the thread and post count to the title of the forum giving more room for a crisper cleaner look.

Good job, I like it :D

[harpez]

Well it looks exactly the same for me.

EDIT: Oh, this is actually a mod, sorry :p

[GamerJunk.net]

Looks good man, I like that layout too.

Is that custom or did you buy it?

[puertoblack2003]

well i got it to work but when u ask on :Find in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

[puertoblack2003]

never mind i noticed it won't work for 3.5.1 it has diffrent templates comparison
to 3.5.2....but like the idea. :ermm: ****UNINSTALLED***

[Snake]

Coolio.

[4number8]

Bummer, I was going to install this but if it won't work with 3.5.1 I will have to pass also as nievesidenshop pointed out. Is their anyway you can fix this for 3.5.1 also?
thanks just the same, looks really good

[Sinistra]

Yeah I will see if I can get it working for 3.5.1 let me install a test board on my server and get tht fixed up for ya really fast

[vibe]

I'm running 3.5.2 and I'm having the same problem as nievesidenshop.

[Sinistra]

OK I will fix it up abit better so everyone is able to read the install stuff

[tercede]

I'm running 3.5.2 and I'm having the same problem as nievesidenshop.

Same with me in regards to vb (3.5.2). The post and topic number columns are still there on the right side of the forums. I believe I did all the steps correctly :ermm: .

Change forumhome_forumbit_level2_post to this:


<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<div>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a> <span class="smallfont">( <b>$forum[replycount]</b> Posts | <b>$forum[threadcount]</b> Topics )</span>
</div></td>
<td align="right"><div align="right"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

[snakes1100]

This template mod is comfirmed to work in 3.5.3 as of today.

[tercede]

How do you only show viewers if x number of viewers greater than 0? So if no one is in the that certain forum, then # of viewers is not shown...

[utw-Mephisto]

How could I align the postcount to the right ?

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

I do like how clean it looks. *INSTALL* *Rated* (*****)

[hawksisdead]

To get mine to work on 3.5.2 I did the above steps and also removed:

<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>

from forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post.

It also seemed to align them all up for me. I also skipped the original steps in forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post.

Here you can see a demo http://www.muzikingz.com/forum

[uzman59]

:Find in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
