Hi everyone! :)

I'm trying to edit the template "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" to add footer images to my categories - without success. :(

If anyone can help me I'd be extremely greatful because I'm getting bored and want to get it fixed so I can go and bang my head against something else. :D

My code is as follows:

</table>

<br />

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

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
</tr>

<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="5%"> </td>
<td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="33%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits
</tbody>


<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" style="background-image:url(http://www.rodentswithattitude.co.uk/forum/images/misc/background_categorybar.jpg)"><img src="http://www.rodentswithattitude.co.uk/forum/images/misc/background_categorybar.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="28" border="0"/></td>
</tr>
</table>


</br>

</if>

Your bottom table needs to be within a <tbody> tag (along with the corresponding <tr><td> tags).

Thanks Lynne... I tried that and ended up with this:

</table>

<br />

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

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
</tr>

<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="5%"> </td>
<td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="33%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits

<TR><TD>

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="http://www.rodentswithattitude.co.uk/forum/images/misc/background_categorybar.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="28" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>

</TD></TR>
</tbody>

</br>

</if>

The footers are still not showing. :o

I still doubt your html is correct there, but, how about a link to the page where this isn't working?

Bit embarassing really, as I've been using HTML for 14 years, but give me some forum software and I'm all over the place!! :o

Try taking the footer outside of your condition (<if condition="$childforumbits">).

I tried your suggestion and still no joy. :rolleyes: It's probably something really simple, as usual!!!!!!! :D

So what does the template look like now?

Oops, sorry Lynne, forgot to add that bit. :o

This works for me on my board. My template is the default with your image added.

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits


<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img src="http://www.rodentswithattitude.co.uk/forum/images/misc/background_categorybar.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="28" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>

</tbody>

edit: Nevermind. Try what Twilkey posted.

Thanks Twilkey... unfortunately all it did was make my thread/posts columns really thin and misaligned on each category! :D But thank you for the suggestion, I did try it. ;)

Thanks for replying again Lynne.... I'm determined to get this done!!! I've seen it elsewhere so I know it's not impossible, and I'm going to do some more digging on here to see if anyone else has managed it using slightly different coding.

In the meantime, if anyone else has any suggestions, my most recent code is the last one I posted on this thread and I'm still looking for assistance! Any help is most greatfully received. :cool:
