[Brad]

You sure are busy tonight. :)

[assassingod]

Yep, expect a few more template mods to come (my portal for example;))

[Brad]

Look forward to it, im doing a portal for vBt but decided to wait on the RC before I let it go.

[assassingod]

Sounds good:D:)

[Tony G]

Nice mod, but isn't there something like this released at vB.com too?

[assassingod]

Haven't seen anything but i'll look:)

[imported_HexOnxOnx]

I saw it during one of the early betas on vb.com but a few months ago I tried looking for it but I couldn't find it.

I was so glad to see you posted it, thanks alot!

[Tony G]

Well, I'm not guessing you copied it or anything, so it's fine. :)

[Brad]

Chen released the one at vB.com incase anyone was wondering.

[Reimer]

NIce job, I was earching for a mod like this :)

[assassingod]

No problem

[Grover]

Hi,

I was wondering if it could be possible to have the option to make it look like this:

http://www.borstenforum.nl/content/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewforum&f=12

They have separate 'categories' for Announcements ('mededeling'), Sticky posts and Threads ('onderwerpen') inside the forums. Maybe that could be even more attractive for visitors?

I like your modification very much: this sort of thing should be standard in VB3. It's a tiny little thing, but with a BIG result. Thanks,

Grover.

[assassingod]

Hi Grover,
That could be done but it may involve hacking. I'll have a go at it but it wont be released here:)

I have made it to add a line below announcements as well as stickies by using the following (kindly using the code in this thread to do this but just experimented till I found the right place)

In FORUMDISPLAY above <!-- end show announcement row --> add the following

<tr valign="top">
<td class="thead" colspan="10"><img src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>

This will then (with the template mod in the first post here) look like this

Happy to help

This is a feature very similar to that one included in invision forums. It looks pretty cool except that in invision, you had headers for example: Important Stuff would be added if there were stickies or announcements and then Posts would be the heading underneath the stickies or announcements. Did that make sense?

I have attached an image to see what I mean a little better

[peterska2]

That makes sense but as this is added after the thread not before it, it doesn't appear possible to me. Mind you one of the more experienced hackers may have a look at it for you.

[edit] I knew what you meant as I use IPB as well and it used to be my main software :)

[xug]

The most funiest thing is that the forum is all about boobs :) making them bigger etc.
So what are you guys hanging out there :)

For me this doesn't work where I don't have Stickies.
So could there be something done when you only have announcements the announcements will be seperated from the regular threads.

[peterska2]

If you look at my post above it shows how to do that :)

[xug]

If you look at my post above it shows how to do that :)
Thank you so much and sorry for not paying attention, good job, works smooth.

[jancarlo]

for vB Gamma...

jancarlo

[Bobbi]

Thanks jancarlo, that was *exactly* what I was looking for !

[imported_FastAttack]

works great thanks!

[chas_h]

Anyone know of any reason why this wouldn't work with RC-3? I had it working with RC-2 and ugraded, after re-applying this hack I'm not seeing that seperation between the sticky post anymore.

Chas.

[codemonkey]

for vB Gamma...

jancarlo
Works great!
Thanks a lot!

Chas.

Use the code from the install_gamma.txt.. should work fine with that. :)

[Dan]

nice one man :D I think i might use it :D

[milkmycow]

is there a way to add the last thread/by/etc stuff below the stickies also?

[StarBuG]

It seems that in GOLD something has changed

Can anyone tell me plz how I get this to work with GOLD?

Thx

StarBuG

[Wayne Luke]

The original template modification works just fine in Gold. Only the template modified has changed. You should make the changes in the threadbit template instead of the template listed above.

[DanH]

Can so

[DanH]

Can someone help with this as I can not get this to work with gold there is no

<tr align="center">

In threadbit like Wayne said please help

Dan

[rebelsrock06]

The stickies already have a break in them, its a VB3 basic option

[DanH]

Ummm no they don't well mine doesn't

http://www.chewer.net/forumdisplay.php?f=2&styleid=1

Dan

[DanH]

Well I just done it anyway put the code from the gamma in the template and it works fine.

Thanks anyway

Dan

[sabret00the]

just installed went perfectly :)

[Virtex-II]

I also tried both of them and have to say that the first one in the forumdisplay doesn't work while the second (the gamma one) is ok....I have 3.0.0 Gold.

I guess that all those who have the gold version should try this but maybe the author of the first script can tell us what we are doing wrong :(


Thanks for this great hack :)


All the best
Virtex-II

[sabret00the]

here you go. :)

that's for gold :D

[Incendium]

Must have overlooked this, i was looking for it. :)

*Clicks Install*

[imported_Synicide]

Awesome. :D

*Also clicks install.*

[imported_Wayne2k1.com]

Nice one :D

*installed*

One request, though... when there are major changes in something (the template name, in this case, from gamma to Gold), maybe it would be useful to write them down editing the 1st post of the thread.

Laaaaazyyyy :D

[AFriant]

does anyone have this for vB2? I tired this on my boards, and it came up with all this weirdness when i put the code in. Im guessing because I have 2.3.5 installed.

[rex_b]

installed 3.0.3

[oldfan]

installed, thanks

[Rick Sample]

nevermind I fixed it :)

[JasonGreen]

it says open forumdisplaybit template...but 3.0.3 doesn't have forumdisplaybit, just forumdisplay.

[wordforge.net]

^ ^
seconded. This mod isn't working for me...

[:Judge:]

3.0.3 works with this for gold http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showpost.php?p=49121&postcount=42

[TwinsForMe]

*clicks Install*

[Jacko]

[Mechanical Mind]

thanks. :)

[swantonio]

Bello Lo Installato Ok 3.0.3 :d

[oldfan]

not working in 3.04 :(

nevermind, I was looking in the wrong template file :(
Works fine :)

[Glenn379]

Nice one! I'm totally going to use this. :)
Thank you! I think I know you from somewhere...
*checks memberlist on VB.org* ...ooh... hey :p

[Glenn379]

it says open forumdisplaybit template...but 3.0.3 doesn't have forumdisplaybit, just forumdisplay. Ditto... I;'d really like to get my hands on this though. but there is no forumdisplaybit template on 3.0.6. Help please AG?

PS: sorry about the double post

[mindbuster]

Bump for a solution to newer vB's :P

[lordofgun]

i think i'll give this a go...

[DaPro]

This was quite easy to figure out to port for 3.0.7, here it goes...

Go into your styles manager and do the following:

In FORUMDISPLAY look for:
=======================

$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->


Add Above:
=======================

<tr valign="top">
<td class="thead" colspan="10"><img src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>


And your done, hit Save and presto. Easy huh?

[Pion]

DaPro...thanks...work nicely

This be what I did in my 3.0.7 and went off without a problem at all, thanks.

[yupfish]

Just what i was looking for! Thanks, assassingod. :)

[wolfgrrl]

I would like to install this but under the forumdisplay templates, all I have is this:

FORUMDISPLAY [Customize]
forumdisplay_announcement [Customize]
forumdisplay_loggedinuser [Customize]
forumdisplay_moderator [Customize]
forumdisplay_sortarrow [Customize]

Does this not work on 3.06?

[Lee]

You need to refer to these instructions to install this modification...:)

[bigcurt]

yea the original is not working for 3.0.X I do not believe. I could be wrong though :P.

[Aken]

Regarding vB 3.0.7

I looked up this thread because I wanted to use the Sticky seperating bar and whatnot. The original template mod in this thread didn't work (should've read a bit farther, but whatever - no harm done to my forums), so I continued to read.

At the end here, DaPro's suggestion would appear to work fine, and I'm sure it does. But in my version of 3.0.7, there's no need to add anything. You actually have to remove something :)

Find:

<!--<tr><td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons']">6<else />5</if>"></td></tr>-->
</if>
$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->

Replace With:

<tr><td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons']">6<else />5</if>"></td></tr>
</if>
$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->

I actually removed the &nbsp; (space) in the seperator line, because it made it as tall as the font inside of it, plus cell spacing/padding.

The end result is seen in the screen shot provided below.

Note: I don't know how many of you will have this code hiding in there already, as I recently downloaded a fresh copy of vBulletin (3.0.7 for those not really paying attention) approximately two weeks ago. But if only one person finds all this babble useful, I'm satisfied :D

[Prodimysterio]

DaPro...thanks...work nicely

Agreed. Worked like an absolute charm.

:)

[loftyasianz]

[Mikecp421]

EDIT-Update, yes it does work, thanks!

[secret1980]

great work

on vb 3.0.9

[LBSources]

Any hope to get this working in 3.5.x ? .. or did i miss the setting?

For a little bit of fun and practice, I've productized this and removed the need for any template edits. It installs as a clean plugin now. I just realized this used to be a 3.0 mod. Hmmm... what to do? Should I start a new plugin in 3.5? Is the author still around and does he/she care?

[Mysticales]

for vB Gamma...

jancarlo

That reply worked for me with attachment. The one included in the 1st post didnt work. Something about forumdisplaybit?? I think that had to be a typo.

Do you know if yours works in 3.6.4?
