True, but that would be for the template-version only.:cheeky:

The hacking one removes the line if there is no announcment/sticky.

Edit: After reading Ninth Dimensions posts, there is a problem if there is a just an announcment the line doesn't show up.

attached is an image of a forum with an announcement but no stickies

(PS, what do you think of the colours? i know it looks very vB.org, but i've not finished yet)

Yeah, just noticed this. There is a simple way around it but I wont be able to do it 'til tomorrow, since I have to go to bed in a minute:o

Btw, colour look cool:D

looking foward to it, no hurry, the sites not being released for another week or so :)

Alright, i've done it. Only problem is, the announcment sticks to the bottom if you have both an announcment and sticky. I can either give you the instructions for that or give me some time later to sort it out. Can't do it now since im goin' out with a girl in a minute

It's OK, i think i'll edit the announcements templates to make them look diffrent from the rest of the page (like here is a good one) and then use this to seperate the stickies from the rest of the page.

if i'm correct this will look for stickes -> display them -> show the line -> then display the rest of the page - right? it's not like dependant on the announcements or anything?

it might be good to see your code anyway, but i think i'll stick to what I've got above.

woah? a girl, ive not had one of them for near 3 years now :)

Cool. Yes that is how the code works:)

I gotta go now;)

Any updates assassingod?
I've JUST installed a mod by Xenon showing each announcement in it's own thread, but this rendered the template mod useless since it added a line after EVERY accouncement (doing it my way editing forumdisplay_announcement).

So I've now switched to your forumdisplay.php mod and any help having the line in a forum with no stickies but does have announcements would be useful.. :)

Obviouly i can't answer for assassin, but i think the latest code hack looked for stickies, displayed them, displayed the line, then displayed the rest of the page.

While announcements was meant to be part of the formula, it didn't quite work :knockedout: So i bypassed this bit and decided to use the seperator for stickies/normal posts and change the view of announcements insted (see pic attached).

Personally i'm not a huge fan of the way announcements works which i think is why i'm not too fussed about the code not working quite as it should, but if you use them a lot then you might want to see his alternative code hack (if he comes back and posts it).

I highly recomend that you release this as a hack, it's not much, but it's enough to make a big diffrence to someones forum.

good on ya fella :)

Ninth Dimension is correct for what he said:)

The new code is simply editing the forumdisplay_sepsai template, and adding
to the top of it, then removing
from forumdisplay_threadslist

As for releasing it, I might as well:)
