[HowTo] [3.0.0] Put the table "indexer" below each category.

Title: Put the table "indexer" below each category.
Version: 1.0.0
Category: Template Modification for vBulletin version 3.0.0 (Gold)
Author: Floris (http://www.vBulletin.nl/ (http://www.vbulletin.nl/))
Description: This modification removes the "Table indexer" bar from above the forum (where it behaves as guideline) and places it below each category. It will get optimized so the width are corrected and looks more professional. When you collapse a category it will get collapsed too. Cleaning up the design.

Installation instructions

Goto the Admin Control Panel > Styles & Templates > Style Manager and from the dropdown box select "Edit Templates" to expand the style you want to modify.

Select the "Forum Home Templates" and expand the group.

Select the template "FORUMHOME".

Find the following code:

<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>


And delete it.

Save the FORUMHOME template.

Select the template "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost".

Find the following code:

$childforumbits


Above this, on a new line, add this code:

<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="38">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="240">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="70">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="70">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

</if>
</tr>
