HOLY COW SH!T BATMAN is there enough edits? That looks like more than installing vbplaza. Theres this auto code thing that allot of the coders are using maybe you could study up on that or ask someone for help.

Non the less keep up the good work. I'll wait for an easier install method.

You know, I thought there were a lot of edits, yes, but I did it anyway. I'd wanted this edit forever.

This? Is freaking perfect! Thanks so much. Question, in the future can you provide a way to let users chose whether or not they'd like to view the forum this way? Thanks!

VIP NOTE: These edits cat't be done automatically by plugins (No wAy!), So you SHOULD Do it MANUALLY !!.


Regarding to Glamology's comment: yes, i might release a future version allows users to choose the mode they prefer.

The steps mentioned there isn't complete & some of it done via plugins within my mod, also my modification covers all forum parts ( forumdisplay / search results / moderation system / Subscribed threads ) & supply an option for turning the whole modification On/Off.

[wizardan]

Wow.
Will check it out on my test forum.
If there's no conflict with anything else, it goes live.
Those edits, although many, look clean and precise.
:)Clicks install gladly.:)

[Coders Shack]

nice mod, but holy crap. soo many edits.

[Andyucs]

nice but again far to many edits

contact Cybernetec

he may be able to help

[ChrisSy]

I wish this option would be included in future vbulletin versions.

Great hack though thanks!

[Coders Shack]

I wish this option would be included in future vbulletin versions.

Great hack though thanks!
it is, they offer preg_replace for your templates.

but its easy to mess up that way.

[Magnumutz]

If Cybernetec manages to help this dude with these so many template edits, i'm gonna install it, but i can't start doing so many template edits... not sure if it's gonna work on my skin.

[saib]

Great. Thx.

I would like to change font size from 11px to a little smaller.
How can I do this?

Regards.

[tokenyank]

plugin system has made us lazy!

Yeah, there's a lot of editing but this is minimal compared to what it used to be like to hack vB pre-plugins... And that was mostly core file edits that all had to redone with updates!

I don't need this hack, but I wanted to show my support and tell the whingers to stop whinging! ;)

[saib]

Anyone? :)

[ForYou]

Hello ,

Regards

[ahmedeldeep]

gazak allah kher ( Arabic words )

[Omranic]

There is no way to do it via plugins, till now there is no hooks, template hooks that can serv in this mod.

I have contacted 'Cybernetec' & he confirm that there is no way till this moment.

thanks for all.

[GhoHan]

nice ones...
lots of work but the result is beyond expectation ThumbUp
INSTALLED :)

[Mixibiza]

Excellent. Yes a Lot of work involved but once you get it done its pretty cool :)

[Chachacha]

HA! I don't think I've EVER seen so many template edits in one hack.

[JohnBee]

Wow so many whiners!
Take it from someone who's been doing it long hand(all these versions). It is nice to see something official and complete like this! - thanks

[shadowevil]

Is it working for 3.7.x ??

[BigJohnny]

it seems to be workin fine so far on board not yet live, running 3.8.3.

It was just installed so i'll update if their are any problems.

[BigJohnny]

The steps mentioned there isn't complete & some of it done via plugins within my mod, also my modification covers all forum parts ( forumdisplay / search results / moderation system / Subscribed threads ) & supply an option for turning the whole modification On/Off.

I wasn't even paying attention to the fact that it could be turned on and off. It took almost an hour to complete the edits, and I loved the mod, then I discovered it can be turned off and about crapped myself with joy.

Is this supposed to work on the main board index though? I'm just wondering because my main index still looks the same, but it's also modified with the Forumhome Category Spacing Mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2083650) so I just wanted to confirm if it's supposed to work there or not.

[BigJohnny]

so 2 almost 3 years since the last reply before me. I've noticed one small problem. When you're looking at your subscribed threads in usercp, one of the colspans somewhere is messed up because the thead and tcat dont extend all the way across the table.
