Spilt the postbit (two sides)

[DestyNova]

I spend lots of time work on postbit, I try and fail anyway I want to know how to spilt postbit. I want to add several features to postbit but I dont want to have large left and eat up the space so I try to spilt postbit to have two side "left and right" on postbit instead of only left side.

I try and couldnt get it look right. So any suggest?

[DestyNova]

*bump* Anyone?

[imported_plattopus]

I don't understand what you mean.... can you post a screenshot?

[DestyNova]

K I dont have any screenshot for it but I ll use original vb with cut/paste as example..

[MaXNet]

so basically you want to create a three column thing for that?

i think its easy.. really easy..

sadly i aint got time right now.. cuz i m thinking about my question.. :)


need to get it fixed..

[Tony G]

So all you want to do is put it on the right?

Easy, I can do it for you soon. :)

EDIT - NO wait, you want 3 colums right?

[DestyNova]

Easy? hmm look like that I need more practice with HTML by then...

Yes, it is three columns..

DestyNova,

Can you please make a post with your postbit template as a .txt file? Anyone who helps you will need this information.

Thanks. :)

Ok, I ll do that but I will use default VB template so that I know which to edit. Also it will be nice if someone or you to add the comment so that I ll know where it is and play around with it to nail down thur my brain to get it. I guess VB template is still new to me, so far I m only use VB for three weeks now so excuse my stupidity..

As usual you re always helpful in any way. Thanks

Okay, this should make the third column like you want. I haven't tested this out yet, so reply telling me if there is any problems.

Just replace "#######FILL IN STUFF YOU WANT ON THIRD COLUMN HERE#######" with the variables and stuff you want to put in the third column.

[DestyNova]

Cool, you re great! Thanks! But there is a black under that third column? Check this attachment

Thanks for comment on that postbit so I put anything between
<td bgcolor="$post[backcolor]" width="175" valign="top" nowrap>
and
</td>

Right? Thanks for offer!

Once you fill in some variables and stuff to make the third column longer, the 'black' spot will go away. Try putting some filler text in there right now.

And yes, you are exactly right in where to put it.

[DestyNova]

oh ok, but I plan to add "comment" and other hack button under line of third column. Thanks for reply

[DestyNova]

I try to fill up the third column with texts and black spot didnt go away. It is still there

[DestyNova]

I have same problem with mine, I made it with same thing as yours and black spot always there. That s why I spend some time on it and cannot get it normal as first column

[imported_badmeetsevil-]

Okay, the reason the black spot is there is because there is a third column. On the second row, the first column and second column are already filled, but the third (new) column isn't.

So, what you could do is move the 'edit' and 'quote' buttons over to that third column on the second row. To do that, do this:

find

<td><smallfont>$ onlinestatus
$ post[profile] $ post[pmlink] $post[useremail] $ post[homepage] $ post[search] $ post
<!-- $ post[icqicon] --> <!-- $ post[aimicon] --> <!-- $ post[yahooicon] -->
</smallfont></td>
<td align="right" nowrap><smallfont>
<a href="editpost.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editpost&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit/Delete Message"></a>
<a href="newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/quote.gif" border="0" alt="Reply w/Quote"></a>
</smallfont></td>


and replace it with:

<td><smallfont>$ onlinestatus
$ post[profile] $ post[pmlink] $ post[useremail] $ post[homepage] $ post[search] $ post[buddy]
<!-- $ post[icqicon] --> <!-- $ post[aimicon] --> <!-- $ post[yahooicon] -->
</smallfont></td>

then find:

</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

and replace it with:

</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td><td bgcolor="$ post[backcolor]" width="175" height="16" nowrap><a href="editpost.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editpost&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit/Delete Message"></a>
<a href="newreply.php?s=$ session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/quote.gif" border="0" alt="Reply w/Quote"></a></td>

Sorry if it looks a bit sloppy there, it's because I wrote it by hand...
Tell me if that gets rid of the black spot.

[b]MOD Edit: If you have large code edits, please place them in a .txt attachement so that they don't throw the forum design off.

[DestyNova]

Ok, I ll do it right away also it will better if you use attachment or Saintdog will hunt us down.

Thanks!! I m try that now

[DestyNova]

Great, black spot finally go away but two icons of online/offline???

attachment..

Thanks for patience with me :D

Edit-- It s fix, I copy/paste in wrong place. Thanks!! It look perfect now :thumbup: You re great help!

[DestyNova]

Also I realize that you change from {imagesfolder } to images. So all I do is replace all of images to {imagesfolder } right? (without space ofc)

It s all work now. It s perfect! Thanks to badmeetsevil-'s for his/her hard work and patience with me :thumbup:

No problem. :)

I'm not sure I understand your question though.

[DestyNova]

Ok, you use "images" instead of {imagesfolder } in your post. I know it is not change anything but I just change "images/quote.gif" to {imagesfolder }/quote.gif.

Hope it is clear enough =) thanks!

Yeah, that's fine. Both will work unless you changed the name of your image directory.
