Horizontal forumhome statusicons

[bashy]

Hi peeps

Heres a very small modification that changes the (statusicons) (new post, no new post and forum lock)
thats vertical at the bottom of the forumhome and changes them to horizontal, this to me tidies up the
bottom of the forum a tad (removes a gap)

Hope you find it useful, i do :)

Ps. (go easy on me, tis mt 1st hack on my own):banana:

Instructions

In your forumhone template find this code (near the bottom)


<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</tr>


and replace with this


<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</tr>


Or replace with this code to show with the nice box like mine :)

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td><table class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="center" colspan="6">Status Icons</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt1">
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

Please click install if you use this :)
I will try and help if you need it but i am still very much a novice

[peterska2]

looks good bashy.

Well done :D

[bashy]

Cheers Peterska2, just thought i'd share it as i couldnt find it on here... :)

[Ziki]

Nice.Too bad I don't have any need for it! :(

[FleaBag]

Everyone has a need! This is how it should be by default.

[Snake]

I have done that already on my forums before you release this hack. :p

Check it out, look at the very bottom of the page.

Worked perfectly bashy. Thank you. I do like it much better with the horizontal view. Be well -

Should have done a hack, would have saved me struggling :confused:

I second that. Vertical is a waste of space.

[PennylessZ28]

Man I usually delete those.

[stonyarc]

Congratz Bashy on your first hack

You're a true addict now:D

[bashy]

Thanks Stonyarc :)

[A_N_K_A_R_A]

nice thanks

[Smiry Kin's]

how do i go about box'in it ?

[kurtbarker]

bashy the coder... very nice mate...

installed :D

[kurtbarker]

hey bashy... anyway to have the icons centered?

[bashy]

Sorry i aint sure...perhaps you can have a look at the hack that puts a box around the postbit profile, you may be able to do the same with that?

[peterska2]

how do i go about box'in it ?
<table class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="center" colspan="6">Status Icons</td>
</tr>
<tr class="tbody">
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</tr>
</table>

That should do the job. I haven't tested it, just wrote it from memory, so let me know if it does anything strange

[peterska2]

hey bashy... anyway to have the icons centered?

use

<tr align="center"> in place of the <tr> or you could try the box detailed in the post above

[kurtbarker]

OMG, that box worked wonders :D but it's still to the left, lol

how can I use the box and also have it centered... where would I put the align text?

[peterska2]

in the table line of the code add align="center" and it will center it.

also try changing the class="tbody" to class="alt1" and it should blend better.

[kurtbarker]

well, we're getting there to say the least, lol

would you mind have a look please?
http://www.commodorelife.com/forums/index.php?styleid=1

down the bottom, I don't think the center function is really centering, lol... could it be center between the left column and the logout text?

and if so, any way to fix?

thanks again :D

[peterska2]

It's centered nicely for logged out, but if you want me to have a look in more detail, please PM me a test login for your site (ACP if you wish me to fix while I'm there).

I'm just on my way to bed, so I'll pick it up tomorrow and have another look at it for you.

[FLMom]

I have installed this and tried to center it, but I think I am not doing it right.
I used the <tr align="center"> at the beginning of code Bashy gave, do I need to put something on the end of it with "/" ?

[peterska2]

try adding align="center" to the row above that in your forum home template.

[bashy]

Thanks peterska for helping :)

I have managed to center mine but only with a <center> after the 1st <tr>
and a </center> before the last </tr> its prob the wrong way to do it..but this is how i do all my centering :o

[kurtbarker]

I combined peterska2's box code with her center code:

<table class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="center" colspan="6">Status Icons</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt1">
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</tr>
</table>

It works wonders :D

[smacklan]

how do i go about box'in it ?by defining border and padding

[Ziki]

How about giving them a fieldset bashy ;)

[bashy]

Not thought about it m8. Do most need 1 as mine certainly dontit has its own nice little box, i think the screen shot shows mine :)

BOX ADDED :)

1st post updated

How about giving them a fieldset bashy ;)

[Ziki]

I meant a fieldset box not a usual box :)

[Jarllax]

Nice little hack, looks much better than default look. Thanks!

[ep13]

make sure u put a

<tr>

above


<if condition="!$show['guest']">
<!-- member logout -->

to get the center to center properly

[scarrillo]

Cool. Was looking for this. I agree, this should be the default.
