[Zachery]

addon 3

its the SDFHA before just revamed, and it does use a table vs the new "div" styled, altho this version wont break in mozi

[thuffner]

This isn't working for me... This is what I get... :(

The Forum, Last Post, Threads, and Posts won't go under any categories, but the categories are broken up....

I dont get what this one does.... it looks the same...

[Zachery]

Forum Spacing (Gamma+) << spacing not foumheader under category ;D

[idwf]

are you my dad?!

[greaseman]

nm finally got it working thanks again didnt relise i needed to add another mod from a post further down in this forum
~G~

[Zachery]

glad to see it working ^^

[Tony G]

Tested it and worked, along with your forum header under categories mod. Although, I didn't like the width mod, because for forums which use a moderator column, it's incredibly squashed and clumped.

[PGU]

the first step doesnt work for me

i cant find what im supposed to replace

[Zachery]

have you installed the other bits also? are you in vb3 gamma?

[PGU]

i am in vb 3 gamma
i installed the first one, the second one, i dont know how to do it says
Find
<else />

right underneath it hit add

<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<img src="clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>


i have no idea what "right underneath it hit add" means
does it mean right under that line, does it mean right after it? im just confused

[Zachery]

did you install forum header under cats?

[PGU]

ok, nm i got it workin

[Cassidy]

are you my dad?!Hahaha that's priceless!
I installed it but is there anyway i can make the forum name area bigger on the 'Column Align' because it's to even, i do like a little odd in my work =D

Edit: ACK! I added your align thing before someone posted on this one catergory and look what happened!

[sonic3d]

nice job, Faranth.

thats sorta weird.... i dunno why it would do that ??

[Marulatree]

Gamma Hack Installed - Worked perfctly! - Thanks

[sidhighwind]

Faranth,

I just though i would let you konw. I got it working with the div's in the forumhome_lastpostby.

here is the orginal

<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]" style="white-space:nowrap">


here is my version

<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]" style="white-space:nowrap; width: 250px;">


it works great in every browser i have used on it.
i've tested the following:
Firebirde 0.7 mac/pc
IE6 pc
IE 5.2 mac
safari 1 mac
mozilla 1.5 mac/pc

[dede1]

Hello

my English is not good!!Sorry

if one does not have the Moderatorensplate with in it is the
column last contribution no more in an escape, totz the addition

250px;">

in the line

<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]" style="white-space:nowrap; width: 250px;">

Does a solution know?

Cu

Dede1

[Zachery]

i never use the modeartion collum :\ sorry

and sid i have a prefrence for tables ;D

[Cassidy]

I figured out the problem for why it wasnt working right for me!

I forgot to put spaces in the forum description so it acted as one sentence *hits self* **** i'm blind.

[imported_psyblast]

is it supposed to get this wide?

[Zachery]

yes.................

[imported_psyblast]

did you even look at the image? cause everything is a little TOO spaced out . . .

[Zachery]

because of long titles, i personally set to to 250PX your weclome to change this to whatever number youd like

I seem to have the same case with my VB Gamma. The line lastpost cannot be found in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost but forumhome. Any solution or fix to this?

same for me =/

[Zachery]

im totaly confused by what you guys are telling me, if your templates are stock gamma these mods work 100% fine

[Blue Moose Aaron]

Worked perfect for me www.thekryptonian.com/forum (http://www.thekryptonian.com/forum)


Thanks Faranth

[Stylez]

i did all of the above and i still didnt get it right...

[Zachery]

whats wrong? thats what its sposed to look like

[Stylez]

i wish for the bottom 2 categories to be lined up the same as the first category...do you notice the difference?



edit- i think the forum, last post, threads, post, moderators is supposed to go underneath the category.

for some reason it isnt......how do i change that? ive noticed that on a few other attachments here as well. but the ones that do lineup correctly all have those under the cats.

edit2- ok, i figured out that you have to have this http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?t=4959 as well to get everything correct....

[Zachery]

:) glad you got it all figured out :)

[imported_94DROPTOPZ]

Will this work on 3.0 Beta5?

[Zachery]

no this is for gamma only

[sidhighwind]

no this is for gamma only
It works fine on RC1!!!

[imported_FastAttack]

works with rc1 as well here :)

[imported_Rob]

There is no step two for me...why not?

[trackpads]

works with rc1 as well here :)
Yup, me too. Gamma - RC1 had no changes in the forumhome templates at all.

[Tony G]

Gamma to RC1 has hardly any template changes at all. The templates are alot more stable then in previous beta versions. :)

[Boofo]

How do you break up the nregistration box? I use that table for my quoites when you are logged in.

[Zachery]

if you can show me whatcha mean (link me sir!) ill be able to tell you waht to modify :)

[Boofo]

if you can show me whatcha mean (link me sir!) ill be able to tell you waht to modify :)
The box that an unregistered users sees that says "if this is yoiur first time" at the top under the navbar but above the first forum. The regular user doesn't see it but I use that box for my quotes.

[Boofo]

The site is www.bearfacts2.com (http://www.bearfacts2.com)


sorry about that. ;)

[Zachery]

ah not a problem i rarely logout ;D

open you forumhome template find
$forumbits

above it add

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


instead of a <br /> you could also use a divbox :)

[Boofo]

You ARE the man! Thank you, sir, :) I owe you one. ;)

[Boofo]

How would you use the div in that instance?

[TYorke]

The columns still don't align correctly for me :(

[Zachery]

i am working on the aligment problem. and boofo youd make a div with a class that would set it, id suggest reading up on CSS ;D

[TYorke]

i am working on the aligment problem.
Thank you very much Faranth. I was just going insane thinking I missed a step somewhere LOL

[Zachery]

there is an addon http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/attachment.php?attachmentid=3179

that should help, but it wont 100% solve the problem

[TYorke]

I did try that add-on...needless to say it didn't help

Hi there!

Well, sorry I've given my best ;-) but still no effect. I am running RC2 and have installed the "forum spacing", the "forum spacing add on" and the "forumheader under categories" - but no effect!!!

Is the first forumid the first forum on my board - well I guess so?!

What else coul I have done wrong? Please help me! Your mods worked so fine with the beta 7 and I don't get why the don't now!

Your's

Luke

[Zachery]

it should be the first category/forum you have

i am currently aware of alignment problem, ill have some time today and make a final look into it

[imported_DarkLuke]

Thanx for the quick reply m8! Worx now - had to log out and in again for the stuff to work - looks nice now!

Thank you for your great work!

[Nmidia]

Hi mate - love the work you have done, and i hate to bring it up again...but..

http://legionsofloki.com/Forum/

I have tried to apply all of the things you recommend, but as you can see, its all gone a bit odd. Any ideas what I have done wrong?

Open up your style manager and browse to forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
find

<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>


replace it with

<td class="thead" width="250">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>

I couldn't find that in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost section, and the only changes I have made to that section are the ones from your spacing posts.


Sorry again to bother you


Edit: Jsut wondering if its the first forum number. i have it as
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 65">
Would you agree this from my site?

[Nmidia]

Edit: Jsut wondering if its the first forum number. i have it as
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 65">

nailed it - that == bit was messing things up. no idea where that came from - but that then removes the spacing.

as you can tell, I'm a little comfused, and more than a little useless

[StarBuG]

For me the alignement doesn´t work as well.

Is there any code working for RC2 ??

Since gamma many code has changed

I realy would like this to work

Greetings

Star

[StarBuG]

I saw quite a few RC2 Boards geting this hack (including the alignment!!!!!) to work.

I don´t

Can anyone plz help me?

I have all hacks installed but still no alignment

Greetings

StarBuG

[Zachery]

see attachment

[StarBuG]

YES

Finaly!!!

Thank you so much!

Now it looks perfect: http://www.hiphop-battles.com/forum/index.php

I never saw such a chaotic modification thread.
Maybe someone could summon all parts and make one modification file and name it "Forum Spacing for RC2"

So it would be much easier for anyone to simply implement it ;)

Thx for helping
StarBuG

[Smurf]

wow what a great change
thx mate

[nemesis01]

Hmm..obviously that fix works but I can't get it to work on my RC2 board, it didn't actually say what template the code is in that needs changing, and I could only find it in FORUMDISPLAY which was probaby wrong. Any help?

[StarBuG]

Every change is made in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
the only thing you do in FORUMHOME is delete some code

Maybe the coder of this hack could make a 1 file hack that´s working and replace the one in his first post!

This thread is to chaotic

Greetings

Star

[Zachery]

ill be rereasling this once we get into GOLD or RC3 depends on how busy i am today

[MindTrix]

Well dont know about everyone else, but i have been using this for a long time on my RC2 board and it works fine **shruggs**

[AlexanderT]

I think there is also a non-fatal error in the first attachment for forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost...

According to the <if> condition, whenever you don't have forumid X, the table of the previous forumid is closed, and then a new table is opened for the current forumid. Hence, for the last forum, the table is not closed anymore. You get my logic?

[Zachery]

works just fine for me :) always have ;)

[AlexanderT]

works just fine for me :) always have ;)Didn't say it wouldn't work. However, it is invalid (x)html to not close a table tag. Some browsers could choke on it now or in future.

[Zachery]

last time i checked this didnt break a the xhtml validator. however like ive stated i will be rereeasling soon :P

[AlexanderT]

last time i checked this didnt break a the xhtml validator. however like ive stated i will be rereeasling soon :PActually my deepest apologies, Faranth. The html code snipped of yours is just fine. Sometimes it is not good when I think "too much" :)

Greets
Alex

[StarBuG]

I have a problem with the forum spacing!

Everything works fine and is in alignement BUT when I?m a guest the first category is not detached from the guest info block and therefor is not in alignment

http://www.hiphop-battles.com/forum/index.php?

Any idea how I can detach this as well from the questblock so it aligns also with the others?

Greetings

StarBuG

[Zachery]

I thought i released an addon to this :)

it personally doesnt bug me, i know Floris aka Xiploid has released it here, and if not here vBulletin.nl :)

try searching

[StarBuG]

That´s what I meant with supporting a hack!

If I had found it with searching then I wouldn´t have asked for help!

Any links?

StarBuG

[Dreamgun]

EDIT*

I had some problems but I had them fixed, great hack.

[vreynaud]

i tried to insert the code
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"><img src="clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>

underneath <else /> in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

but it does something wierd. Is that code OK for RC3?
or is there another one
thx

[golf16vkr]

Please tell me what to do for the RC3.

I've done all of the above but nothing works :(

[Zachery]

it Should space out your forums to make them look like it does here to a point :)

[golf16vkr]

Could u pls be more specific i really have a hard time understanding what i've done wrong.

[Zachery]

It spaces the forum categorys so their not all merged together.

[golf16vkr]

Oh okay where do i need to go to get the table width done ? Like this :

http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/index.php?

I would like the have the width of last post a bit more wider than the orginal VB3 RC3 standard.

[Zachery]

If youve installed the mod, forumhome_level2_post i belive

[golf16vkr]

where is this mod to be found mate ?

[AJH]

is this mod compatable with RC4?

[Zachery]

I dont see why it wouldnt be :)

[Mr. Brian]

Sorry, I keep wondering... What's the difference between this mod with floris "cat in a box Mod" ???

[Zachery]

We use abit differnt methods :) floris has a differnt end result than just spacing :)

[Mr. Brian]

Actually not much difference.. I see...

But your's are indeed much more simple and yet still effective.

[MSX]

So..does this work on vB3 RC4 because I've tried it on my new custom skin but it's not working and my skin just doesn't look complete without spaced categories :(.

:) Nate :)

[budlite74]

so do we know if it works for vb3 RC4??

[Mr. Brian]

Should not be a problem.:)
so do we know if it works for vb3 RC4??

[MindTrix]

i am running vb3 RC4 and this definetly works for it ;)

[MSX]

Hey Faranth, great hack! Much more simple than Floris' spacing hack...but I can't get this to work...screenshot is here (click here (http://clickhere)) that shows what happened when I input the code.

Anyways, this is what my forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template begins with...


<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 1">
<else />
</table> <br /><table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
</table>
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
</if>
<!-- bottom table setup -->


Do you see any problems?

Thanks!

[MindTrix]

You sure you put it in the right place? My forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost does not have <!-- bottom table setup -->

any where in it, whereas the one you just showed does. Maybe this is because im running RC4 i dunno.

[MSX]

I'm running RC4 also...the bottom table set up is for the bottom graphics of the category table...so where should I move it?

[MindTrix]

Ok, all i did was took the code faranth gave, and added inside that template, before ANY other code.

[MSX]

Could you post the first like 20 lines of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template?

Thanks.

[idwf]

works with GOLD too! :P

[DaPro]

I have a problem with Gold, because my website, http://www.animena.com/index.php? , leave this one single box about...

NVM!

[chrisvonc]

Worked on my GOLD as well but I too have the column issue of them not getting lined up. Anyone figure this one out? The previous suggestions didnt help me out.

Chris

[ManagerJosh]

I would have to say it didn't work for me on Gold. I can't get my forumhome columsn to align straight. ( I noticed the same problem here )

[idwf]

yeah. it isn't straightening up...ayone got a fix?

[chrisvonc]

LOL.. N/M - didnt do it...

[chrisvonc]

Any chance you could please :) release a clean version of this and the add-on's for Gold that also includes the column spacing issue?

Edit: Sorry I jumped the gun... I just saw your post on vb.com that you already were.

Thanks! :)

[tomp]

im desperate for a fix for the column allignment

[DS MrSinister]

been looking for this... thankz

[btekcan]

Which code is compatible VB3 Gold,without alligment problem :(

[btekcan]

Dear Boofo

Which code do you use for Forumhome spacing ?

[idwf]

i went on the vbulletin.com and posted.....one of the VBteam has a fix...and i asked him to realease it for you guys...he fixed mine..so, it might be worth poping a visit there.

[Zachery]

Ive goten about 30% of my new guide done :)

[chrisvonc]

i went on the vbulletin.com and posted.....one of the VBteam has a fix...and i asked him to realease it for you guys...he fixed mine..so, it might be worth poping a visit there.

Which thread was that going on in?

[StarBuG]

Hi

Any progress report?
When do you think you can release it?

Thx in advance

StarBuG

[Zachery]

Hopeing to get enuf time to finish it today :)

[btekcan]

Heheheh,we are waiting :)

[chrisvonc]

sweet... I look forward to it as well! :)

[chrisvonc]

Hate to sound like a nag but any update on the column spacing issue? :)

[StarBuG]

Hopeing to get enuf time to finish it today :)

This was 5 days ago.
Any progress?

I hope you can release it very soon cause forums look much better with separated categories!

Thx

StarBuG

[SmartGnome]

Don't want to be annoying :) But I realy need the update Please ;) ;)

[Cyricx]

This is the quick fix I used, it has the thead on each forum set now, but when you expand it it lines up.

Not the best, but it's doable for me for now til someone better at this stuff comes up with one :)

Changed this part of the hack:
</table> <br /><table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

To this:
</table> <br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>
</thead>

[StarBuG]

any news from you Zachery?

Thx cyricx but I think I wait for the reviewed version

StarBuG

[Mr. Brian]

StarBuG, You really need it desperately, you may sent me your acp then let me do the job for you. :)

[imported_J.C.]

StarBuG, You really need it desperately, you may sent me your acp then let me do the job for you. :)

Schucz... maybe you can just post it here on how to do it?

Waiting for Zachery's but... dunno why it takes too long

[StarBuG]

Zachery hast du uns etwa vergessen?
Ich meine hier habt Ihr den "hack" ja auch drin.
Wäre echt nett wenn du den releasen könntest in einer brauchbaren form.
