This mod don't work like it must be, it have one issue which is unfixible, so please stop writing it work, when it don't. After you install this mod, all columns will be different size, depends from forum category to forum category, including for those who posts links here for last posts column, even one give us width sizes, when I clicked on his forum, last posts columns are different sizes (IE 7 and IE8) depend on which cats we are talking about.

So main advice, do not install this mod, and do not write is OK, when is not near to be OK. It is disaster.

Don't know what to tell you...I made some edits to the field widths and it works just fine.

Nightridr 11-05-2009 09:49 AM

thanks

testbot 12-08-2009 11:14 AM

there's no way to make an xml for this? it would be huge if so.

jankoalek 01-10-2010 04:04 PM

Best spacing for now, and html validation passed...
Good work!

Where there's an extra forums, last post, etc. row above the subforum.



You can try something like this in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and adjust the %'s as you like.

PHP Code:

<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td
      <
td class="thead" width="56%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td
      <
td class="thead" width="25%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td
      <
td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[threads]</td
      <
td class="thead" width="7%">$vbphrase[posts]</td
      <if 
condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"
       <
td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td


This worked for me.

Thanks

Just thought I would post this for anyone who updates to 3.8.5....you will get an error when you click on the Mark Forums Read link..... here is the fix:



STEP 2A should now be:

Quote:

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tfoot" align="center" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><div class="smallfont"><strong>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&amp;markreadhash=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>
<if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']">&nbsp; &nbsp;
<a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></if>
</strong></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- end what's going on box -->

Thanks for the fix to this Tommy, I've just modified mine now :up: even tho I originally did mine off VB.com but it was all over the place, ie if you get this you then need to change so and so etc but I followed it throughto the end.

To make it easy for anyone who wants to do this here's an easy way and how mine is (sorry for not explaining the whys and wherefors etc but this is a simple fix for people who aren't bothered about how it was achieved etc)

In forum home template, replace everything with this-

PHP Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

for info, this doesnt take into account the moderator column showing and I set my last thread maximum displayed characters to 50

I have done this, all works well except for that blue strip that is shown at the end of each category. Any idea how to get rid of that?

That looks more like a style issue to me, but to be quite honest, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't put the arrows on lol

Make yourself a test style using the standard VB one, apply the mod to that and if its ok then its something to do with the customised style that you are using

mikey1991 05-23-2010 08:51 PM

no-one has noticed how this goof's up any orphan forums you may have? Go on, go ahead, with this edit in place, make a forum which is not a category, and has no parent category, aka, an orphan forum, it will show the forum, but with no table around it.

Hell Bomb 06-26-2010 09:40 AM

----------------------------UPDATE----------------------------

For anyone who wants to remove the extra space on the bottom of each category go to FORUMHOME_FORUMBIT_LEVEL1_NOPOST are remove the following code.

PHP Code:

<tr><td class="thead" style="line-height: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]alt=" " width="1" height="8" /></td></tr>

Yea thank you for posting that, I'll see if i can find some kind of work around of some sort.

This is almost exactly what I am looking for, but I was wondering if it would be possible to remove the spacing?

Image 1 is what I have, and image 2 is what I want.

Any ideas?
