I have a couple of questions.

First, I can't seem to figure out how to change some of the column widths on the Forum. I'd like to make the "Last Post" column wider than it is. I thought it was in a template, Forum display template, but I can't seem to remember if that is correct or not.

And second. I love the Nav buttons, but I am horrible with graphics. I saw some had made a couple of buttons, and I'd like to request a few if possible. If they don't get made, it's no big deal.

I was looking for 5 total, if possible.

One with a clock on it..like regular analog clock.

One with a dogbone on it.

One with a Dollar sign?

One to represent a chatroom..

And one that has like a graph on it.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me out. Thanks again.

The template you are looking for is the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
Find:
And adjust in percentages to what you would like it to be. For example and this I have not tested but to give you an idea on how to modify the code:
I'll see what I can come up with for the nav buttons :)

That's what it was..many thanks hoof!

I look forward to the additional nav buttons..greatly appreciated.

I have one more thing, I am trying to adjust, but can't seem to find the right template.

I want to adjust the columns on the thread lists and sub-forums, as seen in the screenshot posted.

Again, I appreciate it.

You will have to match and adjust the same code as above on the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Well, this one is driving me crazy..I tried to match the settings, though the code is a bit different between the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and forumhome_forumbit_level1_post. Nothing ever changed though.

the thread lists columns never moved, no matter what I put in. And the sub-forum list at the top, I could only seem to manipulate the Forum title box by moving the title over to the right. The columns never moved or widened.

That's what mine looks like, I left in some of the width tags, hoping at least those are in the right spots..also I am still running 3.5.4, if the code has changed sicne then..then if I'm better off waiting, then so be it.

I'm just going to upgrade my board to the latest this weekend, and then start working on this some more. I don't think there'd be alot of differences in these forum templates, but then again, maybe there is. I don't want that to be an issue and a waste of time for you.

Hey Guys,

Love this theme however i cannot get it to show on my vbadvanced page, It shows just fine on the forums page but not on my homepage {cmps_index.php}.

Ive tried deleting the style and re-uploading it but to no avail.

Any ideas??

In your adminCP.. CMPS settings, then Edit pages.

if your like me, you have one page set up, the default. When you go into edit that, you can change the Custom Style for that page. Possibly your board is set to use another style by default, thus your CMPS will use that still as well..

How to put in navbar...?Can create and icon for "Portal"....?Please......

You have to edit your Common Templates/Header. You'll find the nav_buttons and code in there.

Who code input in header...?

hey hoof, I've actually been able to create some of the additional buttons that i had requested earlier. if you have made them, then do share..otherwise you can skip it.

Thanks!

EDIT: btw, I'll post them here, in case anyone else would like to use them.

I am by no means graphically inclined, but I was able to make a few buttons for my needs. If the benefit anyone else, then cool.

One for a stats page

One I have for a worldclock page

and a blank..

I made this for vbookie..we use"dogbones" for our points..thus the reason button was made.

They look good :) thanks for sharing them! Mine wouldn't work, I now see you have a different color for the text on your site. The gold color looks good as well, we need to make this skin in other colors :)

hoof any help for me....?

What do you need help with? adding code for the navbar?

hey thanks hoof...yea i wanted to try and make the font match the colors of the bulldogs...I think it came out pretty good.

Also, any ideas in reference to Post #86? really about the only thing left I need to fix.

The only thing I can see is that when you divide up the sections it probably needs to equal 100% for the table.

Ok, I am sure I did this..but nothing seem to change. I'll double check it again..and post the code too..

ok the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post is where you edit the layout for the forums..and that is all set.

what I am trying to change now, is when i go into the forum to view the threads. I want to make the "last post" box bigger.

EDIT: added a screenshot. My main forums, and sub forums are good. it's just getting the thread list to work.

Yes and if you can icon for navbar to input "Portal"...?

I can point you in the right direction..

go to Edit Templates then header

Find this

Anything after that and before this

Is apart of those Navigation Buttons.

All i did, was take one currently codes and copy/paste. Then edit the path for the image and url for the page on my site.

To get those images to show up on your Portal I assume CMPS 2.0, I do not know if its the same for anything higher. You will need to do this.

AdminCP/CMPS settings/ Default settings.

And you will need to do this for all the images in this style to show up properly.

Type in bi2 into the boxes next to Header Replacements, Navbar replacements and Footer replacements.

I am sure hoof can elaborate and fill in anything I am missing here.

Sorry i put image navbar etg Home \UserCP \Calendar but to say Portal and gone to the portal ..!!! And input navbar news posts

I'd like to share with others something i did as well in this theme.

Again the Nav button setup is cool.

Here is how you can make those buttons also open up drop-down menus.

I will use 2 examples.

For the new Post button, and a drop-down so that one can look at new posts at specidfic times. I did not create the hack, just mearly made it work on the button.

Common Templates/header

Use this to create the button and link



You will need to check you image path ect.. and take note of moving the id="" from the td tag into the url tag. This will get rid of the little dropdown arrow.


Then your drop down menu.

Find this

And place it above that.

Some thing this..


And your end result is attached as a screeny..also attached a screenshot of doing this with vbplaza.

Again these are not my hacks, I just made the dropdowns work with these buttons.

Thanks Sooner95 its work..!!!But the image nav_new post the title image is blue and the other navbar buttons are white..!!!I saw your forum wheh Home and Forum navbar button and i do this..!!! But when home button i say my web site and my forum button i say http://www.xxxx.xxx/forum.php

Its easy....?

To do this you need to adjust the Lastpost width in the Forumdisplay template
I typically don't mess with this but I believe this is where you need to start:

Thanks, for this I'll have to try the New post feature. I am running an unmodified vB for development, but will try this on the main site :)

I gave it a shot, but nothing changed.

I made changes in the FORUMDISPLAY template, but nothing changes in the thread lists..

Only thing I can think of at this point, is just to wait and try it again with 3.8.1

Hi guys,

Im having a real headache trying to get a dropdown menu to work and have been sitting here for ages trying to get it to work.

What i need is a drop down menu from the menu image like i already have on my main theme {screenshot attached}

I just cant seem to get it to work when doing this through the header template.

The code i used to get it working on my main theme was

and

I need to convert that code over so it works without the menu header text and just when someone clicks on the image in the menu it drops down with the options like i have in the screenshot attached.

Help anyone???? please

Kind Regards and thanks in advance

Rob

Nothing...?

This is a good idea and i sort of have it working BUT....... if there ar no posts within 15 minutes and you select '' post within last 15 minutes'' from the drop down, instead of giving you the '' there are no posts to display'' message( the standard VB message) it shows post from the last few days, which isn't realy correct, are you able to sort this? and this happens if there are no ost in any of the drop downs you want

Finally hoof for this.? "But the image nav_new post the title image is blue and the other navbar buttons are white..!!!I saw your forum wheh Home and Forum navbar button and i do this..!!! But when home button i say my web site and my forum button i say http://www.xxxx.xxx/forum.php"

So you need a nav_newpost image with the white text? For the coding just add where ever you want it to go :) Have the Home button go home and the Forum button go to the Forum URL. You just need to fix the url in the code.

hey hoof any chance of some help with my previous post? and also the pm i sent you mate?

For the "Popup" menu controls to work, you need to put that part of the code in the Navbar template.

Here's a good embedded way to do it, if you follow the community example:
In the header is where you'll put the button and code similar to the community button:
I didn't initially answer as you haven't clicked install for this skin and the example you posted is not the style offered in this thread :)

Thanks mate really appreciate the help ill give that a try and see how i get on.

And my bad for not hitting install general oversite on my part but the screenshot i posted was just to show what i wanted as an end result.

I know im taking the mickey with this but is there any chance you could help me out with the images i pm'd you about mate?

Tell me to get lost if you want lol

Thanks again

Rob

p.s install clicked now!

Can I Have this image....?
