Cheers,

My apologies, I forgot to check the code for validation like I should :-|. I have updated the port to reflect the changes and just grab the new TXT file. For those who don't wanna go through it all here are the XHTML Validation changes. (If you find more let me know :))

Find the following code in FORUMHOME
======================================

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<if condition="$show['guest']">

<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>

</if>
</thead>
$forumbits
$forumhome_markread_script


Replace that code with the following:
======================================

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<if condition="$show['guest']">

<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>

</if>
</table>
$forumbits
$forumhome_markread_script


All done.

what does this mean or do? xml stuff?

It is pretty self explainitory. It seperates each forum category on the forumhome so it looks neater and more organized. Can be seen on many forums today. I even have a screenshot up there for you.

i understand that... i was asking about the update... i used your first code and it worked great.. just curious what the update did? and the optional template edit that u have in the txt file what does that do? thanks for your work.. looks great w/ my skin.

Oh, well yea the first one should work fine, this is so your forum will be XHTML validated meaning that all browsers should be ok with this. I like having code be valid before using it. :)

I'm using the Kirsch (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=118850&page=5) style & this did weird things with the post icon box portion of each forum listing - they're all different widths now. I'm trying to figure out which part controls that in order to fix it.

I'm not sure what went wrong. At any rate, I uninstalled this and did Flo's and it worked fine, so I'll go with that one. Thank you for posting this, though, it still helped & I wouldn't have found it otherwise probably. :)

I've installed it and it works great but the last part, the optional one in the forumhome_lastpostby template doesn't seem to work. Whenever people click on the little arrow in order to get to the last post, they get a message 'No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.'

I know, I could just leave this but I love the way it looks and thought I'd ask since I have no idea what I'm doing and don't wanna mess up the whole template.

Ah well, I ended up messing around myself and here's the code that managed to fix my problem:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="175"><tr align="$stylevar[right]">

<td nowrap="nowrap"><span class="smallfont">

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" title="Go to first unread post in thread '$lastpostinfo[lastthread]'"><b>$lastpostinfo[trimthread]</b></a><br />

Poster: <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]">$lastpostinfo[lastposter]</a><br />

$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate]

<if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2">

<span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span>

</if>

</span></td>

<td nowrap="nowrap"> <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a></td>

</tr></table>

All I did was changing the link and url of the 'Go to last post' arrow.

DaPro,

When you are logged in and the guest welcome is not showing. The table open and close tags are still there:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

</table>

You should put the if statements before the table open tag and after the table close tag, like this:
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

...

</table>
</if>

Shanj

Is there a mod to set the default collapse layout? At minimum it'd be nice to open the forum with no forums expanded. Bertter select one or more key ones to expand and that's part of the default view.

Although after doing this, it seems that my category and last post columns are not aligned with each other. But the thread and posts columns are fine. Any idea on why this is?

tell how can I replace those? because I have some hack involve with them!

thanks much :)

The best thing I can say to do rezapci, is to look at your current code with the hacks and try to find siginificant differences and make those changes manually. Because if you have a lot of changes, it will take a while, and I cannot support you in that. If you are really in a bind and don't want to go through that, send your versions of FORUMHOME FORUMHOME_FORUMBIT_LEVEL1_NOPOST and FORUMHOME_FORUMBIT_LEVEL2_POST. I will see what I can do.

You have to devide them under difference catogory first .

For example :

Media Center : <=== When you add the forum ...make this one is Not a Forum active .
-Media = set it forum <=== Parent would be Media Catergor , display order is 2 ...make it a forum active ( act as a forum)
-Stream videos = set it forum <=== Parent would be Media Catergor , display order is 3 ...make it a forum active ( act as a forum)
- Movie video ...
- Music ....

For example of 4 above ...now you have 1 block catergory Media

And then You add another forum call General ... make that one atc as forum = NO
-Help and support <=== Act as forum (YES) Parent forum woul be General ...
-Discussion <=== Act as forum (YES) Parent forum woul be General ...

So on and on ....that would be divide your forum with many difference Catergory and look nice .

Stavs16 ,

It's messing up your default styles , you can go here download free skin : www.forumtemplates.com ,they had many skin for free ,you had to scroll down to mid page ...then it's should be free.

Installed them to your forum , then your forum will look OK with catergory spacing , but right now your forum default is mess up your forum .

After you installed new skin to your forum , then you have to go to the template that skin do the modified catergory spacing .

If you needs help ...let me know ...I can help you with that ,just PM me .

After HOURS AND HOURS of searching for a mod I could use with 3.6.3, I finally found it. And that last little change to Last Post By was amazing.

Thankyou for making my day a good one.

i have a slight problem.

on the main forums page, everything is displayed okay
56738

but in the subforums with the following structure,
category
- - act as forum <<--- viewing this forum in screenshot
- - - - category
- - - - - - act as forum
- - - - - - act as forum
- - - - category
- - - - - - act as forum
- - - - - - act as forum

there is an additional line with:
|| Forum || Last Post || Threads || Posts
56739

with this structure its also working:
but in the subforums with the following structure,
category
- - act as forum <<--- viewing this forum in screenshot
- - - - - act as forum
- - - - - act as forum
- - - - - act as forum
- - - - - act as forum
56743

so it seems like this "categories" in "categories" are causing the additional
|| Forum || Last Post || Threads || Posts

anyone an idea how to remove this line in this case?

Hello DaPro,

May your hack may become a convenient product someday ?

It would be much easier to test it, to approve it and then to click INSTALL ;) :D

I'm no expert.. But here's what I did..

LEVEL1_NOPOST - I changed this to 20.
<td class="thead" width="20"> </td>

LEVEL2_POST - I change this to 20. basically I added width="20"

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt2" width="20" align="$stylevar[left]">

Now my Status icons I use fir that width, your icons may be different.. Basically I just did some trial and error.. It solved my various width issues..

Thank you this worked for me. Only think is the code was different than the supplied code for this hack. Level 2 post should look like this....

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt2" width="20"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">

My apologies, I forgot to check the code for validation like I should :-|. I have updated the port to reflect the changes and just grab the new TXT file. For those who don't wanna go through it all here are the XHTML Validation changes. (If you find more let me know :))

Find the following code in FORUMHOME
======================================

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<if condition="$show['guest']">

<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">
<phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>

</if>
</thead>
$forumbits
$forumhome_markread_script


Replace that code with the following:
======================================

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<if condition="$show['guest']">

<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">

Here comes the TMS Product for the category spacing hack.

Before installing, make sure you have installed the Template Modification System http://www.vbhacks-germany.org/showthread.php?t=5572

What's the template modification system? And why do you need to register to view that thread?

Doc Great

02-05-2007, 01:34 PM

The template modification system is a great mod from Andreas (KirbyDE), but unfortunately only released at vbhacks-germany.org, the official german vbhack site. I hope the modification will be released at vb.org :-)

The tms allows you making code changes to templates without editing the original templates.

Smart, here it was :D

ps.. I created categories but did not make some forums as part of those categories .. as I want to be able to display those forums on my Forum Home as I use show only 1 forum on Forum Home. This was the best solution i could find unless u can suggest somehting else

I've always loved the hacks that do this as they make the forum look much nicer, why it can't be a vBulletin default is beyond me though.

The one thing that always annoys me is the lining up bit, it's such a pain to get right.

Anyhoo...

/me happily installs this version, as the other "automatic" version available leaves the tables out of line anyway, so manual editing is a must for me, either way.

I have done it and it looks great. but when browsing my forums i have come across a problem.

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/386/problemnc5.jpg

Seems like it only effects it if there are borders on. If it didnt have borders it would look normal. Is there a way to fix this problem and keep the borders on.

How can I fix the large gap between my last forum and the 'what's going on' box to match the spacing between the separate forums?

Delete this part of code in the FORUMHOME_FORUMBIT_LEVEL1_NOPOST template:
<tr><td class="thead" style="line-height: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="1" height="12" /></td></tr>

Awesome, I just deleted that code and it works like a charm!

It works for me. More than likely you are missing one of the edits, because if you do, yes then it would look pretty funky.

Im not convinced on this one in 3.6.7

I use an altered version of the default vBulletin template, and it works for me on 3.6.7. Either you are, as I said, missing one of the template edits, or you have a custom style that's coming in conflict with these edits.

AzzidReign

08-06-2007, 10:33 PM

For those running 3.6.8, I've taken the liberty of doing the edits and putting them into a TMS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152931)file. So if you have TMS installed, just upload this file and you're done.

Also, this was tested on non-modified templates. If this doesn't work, then it's b/c of your modified skin. Be sure to look on your default skin to see if it works or not. If not, please send me the link to your board via PM and I'll take a look.

Nice hack, one minor problem.

It also separates sub-categories in the forumdisplay.

I reverted my forumdisplay template back to the original to test to make sure that I didn't by mistake make the changes to forumdisplay instead of forumhome but it is still doing it.

How do you make it work just for the forumhome template? (index.php) and have no effect on forumdisplay (*.php)?

Try using my last post option in the instructions and see if that helps. Also, change your "Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters" by going to:

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Forum Listings Display Options > Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters

If it is at "30", change it to 15-18 for a good size.

See if that works.

I installed this mod and had to revert back to my old templates. My forums are set up like follows:

Parent-
--Child
--Child
--Child (inactive)
----Child's Child
----Child's Child

Parent-
--Child (inactive)
--Child
--Child

On and on like that... Anyways, at first when I changes my templates around this code took away the look I had with my sub-forums. It made my inactive forum in the Parent forum look active. I was using the inactive forum as a spacer. Then when I clicked on a Parent forum to just look at that forum with its sub-forums the code scrambled the forums, or skewed them all over the screen. It was messy. I followed all instructions to a T. I used 3.6.8 vB and I dont know what version my skin is, but that shouldnt really matter because all of the code was the same.

This is a nice mod, makes the forum look clean.
I only had to add a few pieces of code to get the spacing effect.
However, I am using width as a %, for example:

FORUMHOME
<thead>
<td class="thead" width="5%"> </td>
<td class="thead" width="45%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="40%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</thead>

If you take a look at the forum, the alignment is all wrong now. How do I fix this?

Just thought I would post this for anyone who updates to 3.8.5....you will get an error when you click on the Mark Forums Read link..... here is the fix:

STEP 2A should now be:

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tfoot" align="center" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><div class="smallfont"><strong>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&markreadhash=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>
<if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']">   
<a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></if>
</strong></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
