Is there a mod that can do this?

[GeorgeB85]

Does anyone know if there is a mod that can let me do the 2 things circled in the attached pictures. I like how it shows on vb.org and would like, if possible, to implement it on my forum. Thanks.

George,

With vBulletin 4 you can promote post to articles for the CMS, if you have the forum only version you can run vBadvanced and have it show the most recent threads. For the links there in the footer you can code those in by hand or simply use something like: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228527 and leave out the image.

I have the suite. I didn't realize that VB.org had it set up, like promoting posts to articles. I thought it was a special announcements mod or something.

In regards to the footer links, thanks for the link. Will upload that tonight for sure and test it out.

BTW, in case you didn't see my post in the other thread, congrats on the promotion. You have helped me in the past with my limited knowledge lol and has always been good advice. Take care.

This mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228527 works in regards to placing the links at the bottom, but not showing it like how vb.org has theirs set up. Any way to make it look like vb.org does?

To be honest I'm not sure how it's setup here I do know with version 4 though you can promote posts to articles so I replied with that knowledge, there's also many modifications on here you should check out as there could be something similar to what you want that might require simple editing so be sure to have a look when you have time. I'm glad to hear I've been helpful it's always nice to hear that and remember to pay it forward when you have the chance ;).

As for the footer, you could do that with some simple css and html added to the footer template.

Reference the page source here for an example:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" width="100%" border="0" align="center" style="table-layout:fixed">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">New To Site?</td>
<td class="tcat">Need Help?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">

<ul>
<li><a href="info.php?do=about">About vBulletin.org</a></li>


<li><a href="info.php?do=unlicensed">Are you "Showing up as unlicensed?"</a></li>

<li><a href="info.php?do=rules">Review Our Site Rules</a></li>
<li><a href="info.php?do=botm">What is Board Of The Month (BOTM)?</a></li>
<li><a href="info.php?do=motm">What is Modification Of The Month (MOTM)?</a></li>

<li><a href="info.php?do=staff">Meet Our Staff</a></li>

</ul>

</td>
<td class="alt1">
<ul>
<li><a href="forumdisplay.php?do=markread" rel="nofollow">Mark Forums Read</a></li>
<li><a href="showthread.php?t=113792">Do Your Research Before Hiring!</a></li>
<li><a href="info.php?do=sitemap">Site Map</a></li>

<li><a href="login.php?do=lostpw">Did you forget your password?</a></li>
<li><a href="login.php?do=logout&amp;logouthash=e161aa215b5b0b5a9ba c5bfd475e248bd1fa8f3a" onclick="return log_out('Are you sure you want to log out?')">Log Out TheLastSuperman</a></li>



</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Although I would redo it with all <div instead of <table and <td but it's really that simple a template edit can do that, in turn a mod can render the template if you want to go that far.

I tried vbadvanced today to get the posts to show how they do here, when you first visit the site, but it just the threads, not posts. Anyway, to make it display the recent posts, like vb.org does?

It can be done however let me do some more browsing and get back to you, I might run across something that does it for you just like I have for the "Footer Info Panel".

Here is a modification by Princeton for the footer links: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=149651 however it's vB3 and will require a little bit of updating however onve that's done it will work just fine ;).

Any luck on finding something that can make the post/threads look like the announcement ones on vbulletin.org?

They are running 3.6.12 here. I read a while back that page you're asking about is custom coded. And they are not handing out that code.
vBadvanced has a lot of modules. I used to use it. I had a module up for posts and threads. Go back to the set up page and look through the list of modules. Then in the vBad set up screen set it like you want it. You have to work inside the settings to get it like you want it. Some tricks require you to mod the templates. Their forum has a lot of good help. Ask for help on vbad over there.
