[Release] Category Spacing

[SaintDog]

Author: Xiphoid

Description: This will teach you how to modify your categories so that each category is spaced apart from each other (such as what has been done here).

[r0ry]

yes but that doesnt seperate the last catagorie from the

$forumbits
$loggedinusers

those reside in forumhome template..

=[ if i figure it out ill reply here

[SaintDog]

How so? The above modification seperates all categories as well as users online. The only thing it does not seperate is users online from the private messages, everything else remains seperated :).

This version is obsolete, and no longer supported by me.
An updated version with improved installation steps and fixed code + extra frontpage design & tweaks is now available here (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125). Enjoy!

Is it possible for us to setup our forum posts, not categories, so they are separated too? kinda like how it is above, so each individual users post is its own separate box?

i know there are a few things this forum has that others dont, is this one of them? if not, can someone direct me to the thread?

thanks

You can separate your posts in your postbit. I have the following code at the top of my postbit so that I can create a space between each post. <!-- spacer between posts -->
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%"> <br> </tr>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /spacer between posts -->

Here's a sample of how it renders in a post [link (http://www.npug.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12206)]

Sphinx,

The mod you need can be found here (http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=394). This goes into more detail on how to apply this mod to your postbit.

Cool template mod! I have been trying to do this mod for ages! I only just signed up, :P. Also, my Forum, Posts, Threads, Last Post and Moderator coloums ain each cat now, are all uneven, what do I do to put them right, like yours.

[Kikyourt]

[imported_SeanMT]

[imported_SeanMT]

how do i make it so there is a solid white line all the way down the left hand side

[HardFire]

nice mod (but if you space the category there comes a line on top)

to fix this line:

Change this:
$forumbits
$loggedinusers

to this:

$loggedinusers
$forumbits

I did this, but the spacing appeared between categories but did not space the private message row from the other categories. Did I miss a step? Thx alot for the help all... you guys are making my forum look 100% better.

[Censor]

[TheCaver]

You need to go into your forumhome template and find this code:

<!-- main -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center">

and replace it with this:

<!-- main -->
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center">

That should work, I used it on my board. It it doesn't then hardcode the background color to whatever it is on your board and it will work fine :)

[Orfejs]

Can anybody post the final, working release, that should be ok even on 2.2.8?

[drownedspirit]

I did this and it looked great on my main page.. but the subforums looked so cluttered. help!

See attachment..

How can I make it so that the top forum/ posts/ etc. thing at the top actually still lines up with the rest of my forums?
