I don't see anything that is diffrence that a normal post

[mashby]

It's hard to tell from the screenshot because the post and the background is the same color, but there is a space between each post. Just like on this board.

[netman]

nice

[Dean N Steve]

thanks :D - yes it adds a gap between each post...

[adriandaz]

anyway to add a header and fotter to the post like here?

[Dean N Steve]

can u be a bit more specific please :)

[mashby]

Mist, a lot of people are looking to make their forum posts look similar to vBT. Meaning, that they want to have graphic headers and footers on each post.

I haven't had the time to put this one together. You up for it?

[dmjof]

I will make one later. I am going different places but I will make it. All it is is putting the catagory images code before and after the $postbit code. Thats it. But you have to have this gap hack in.

[Dean N Steve]

indeed....

its quite hard to do... you have to have quite a lot of new tables in there....

[KaiN6993]

that is awsome, works great and looks better than allthe posts running together, thanks alot

[Dean N Steve]

your welcome :D

[Dizzy]

nice idea :)
im sure it looks great while running on a great forum design....

[Dean N Steve]

sure does :) *becomes suspicious of Janitor for personal reasons unbeknown to him*

[Davez]

I've got a problem with this hack !
Please look in the attachment !

[Cassandra Cain]

Look for this at the bottom of the postbit:


<!--added-->
<table align="center"><tr><td bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="100" height="10" align="center"></td></tr></table>
<!--added-->


You need to change the {pagebgcolor} to whatever that darker gray-blue color is. Then that square will blend into the background :)

[Davez]

Hmmm , if i do this , the square take?s the color !!!!
I add #727E93 and the square takes this color !
But the "line" has same color like before ! :(


<!--added-->
<table align="center">

<td bgcolor="#727E93" width="100" height="10" align="center"></td>

</table>
<!--/added-->

[imported_Maursheed]

Cool, makes it much cleaner now. Thanks.

[imported_Fr33]

Dave,

May I suggest you use:

<!--added-->
<table align="center"><tr><td bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="100%" height="10" align="center"></td></tr></table>
<!--added-->

Instead?

that may be of some help :)

[Taz71783]

im having a few problems
plz look at picture i circled problems in red :)

[Bad Bunny]

This works better for most people. No offense:
<table bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="{tablewidth}" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="10"><img width="10" height="4" src="{imagesfolder}/space.gif" alt=""></td>
<td width="100%">
<!-- spacer -->

<!-- spacer -->
</td>
<td width="10"><img width="10" height="4" src="{imagesfolder}/space.gif" alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table>

Place that before and after the postbit. It makes for a nice effect. Taz, if you do this, you will not find any errors.

[imported_bharvey42]

Bad Bunny no offense but your code doesn't work.

It still does not fill up the screen

[Eplix.Studio]

im having the same problam anyone resolved it

[matthepepe]

i dont think its a problem w/ his code ... becuase it worked flawless for me ...

[diettalk]

Try this.... It fixed mine... however it doesn't separate the top post from the top bar.

<!--added-->
<table align="center" bgcolor=""#FFFFFF" background="images/mainbg.gif"" width="100%">

<td bgcolor=""#FFFFFF" background="images/mainbg.gif"" height="10" align="center"></td>

</table>
<!--/added-->

[unvencible]

Love it :D
thx alot,

*INSTALLED*

[Dean N Steve]

your welcome :D

[Buddha]

if anyone still hasn't gotten it to work, try this.
place this in the postbit
<tr><td bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="100" height="10" align="center"></td></tr>
where the code is
href="newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="{imagesfolder}/quote.gif" border="0" alt="Reply w/Quote"></a>
</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="100" height="10" align="center"></td></tr></table>

and then to seperate the top post from the header, go into the showthread template and insert the same code
<tr><td bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="100" height="10" align="center"></td></tr>
where the code is
<!-- /Thread nav and post images -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<tr><td bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="100" height="10" align="center"></td></tr></table>

sorry mist, your suggestion wasn't working properly on my site either... and i think it is because i use different colors for the page bg and the forum bg... anyway, tweaked around and this works for me. may work for others too.

[???]

great stuff! i use this one right away adn will apply it to every skin i make

[Dan Flynn]

What do you do if the code im to find is not there because of some other hack with a mod in it?

[Buddha]

depends on the hack, dan.
you'll have to poke around and find where the tables split, and add the blank table in there somewhere.
if you're familiar with html, it's just a matter of poking around and experimenting till you find the right spot. just make a back up of the template before you modify it, so that you can always backtrack (i cannot stress that enough).

[1yesfan]

I am looking at the directions for this, step 3 lost me? AL I see is a green bar in the directions!?!?!?!!?

[Richy T.]

Cool. Thanks.

[flawedlogic]

i fixed the problem i was having, but because i have a graphic background i had to adjust the width to fit inside the boarders.

Now i have one more problem. There is a 2 pixel space between the posts that i cant get rid of. If you adjust the height the line still stays!

any help?

[Tony G]

None of your links in your sig work so could I get a screenshot? Quite hard to explain without a demo.

[bonnmac]

I love the idea... Now I've just got to make some images like vbtemplates has. Thanks :)

[alkatraz]

sweet ***!

I modified this a bit so that it fills the entire space
<table bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="{tablewidth}" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">

<td bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="100" height="10" align="center">&nbsp;</td>

</table>
and also added it in my show_threads template right before "$postbits" to seperate the "Author, Thread, New Post, Post Reply" bar from the top.

Thanks!

[imported_Fr33]

you could've just left out the bgcolor variables..

[Mark]

The problem some of you are having with the little space is easily fixed.. no need for a code. Just add a <br> before the spacr code in the original postbit.

[imported_Mathiau]

sweet sweet!

putting the graphics in between would be sweet as well - will have to try an mess around with that - unless someone has it documented somewhere?

[imported_Synicide]

Awesome! Installed!

[imported_TranceMaster]

heyy thanks for this hack man
really is a nice one.

how do u go about breaking up each forum category?

[Orfejs]

Tony, why don't you close this thread, bcause we already have a thread about this matter?

[Tony G]

Wha? This is a template modification. Not a 'question' thread. There are 2 more pages before this. ;)

[Orfejs]

What can I say. It definetly looks better as before it.

[imported_Eye Kay]

LMAO! morons...

I know what you guys are doing wrong...

<!-- spacer --></td><td width="10"><img width="10" height="1" src="{imagesfolder}/space.gif" alt=""></td></tr></table>

You're looking for that at the BOTTOM of the code-file.. it's at the very top too.. lol.. he should've mentioned that though.. either way.. it works if you just do it under the top one.
