Thx Mindtrix, nice to see anyone is helping when my time is limited :)

MindTrix 07-15-2004 08:19 PM

Anytime Xenon, im just trying to get active again like i used to be :rolleyes:

Xenon 07-15-2004 08:41 PM

Very good, so i can lay back as i used to be ^^

base 07-15-2004 10:16 PM

excellent hack, working flawlessly here, install was smooth too :)

...however, and i bet you knew this was coming, right? however, the code changes posted for the forumdisplay.php pages do not work (or at least, i cannot get them to work). is there any chance that someone who has got it to work (or just knows how to do it) could post the definitive code changes for that please?

thanks in advance :)

funfone 07-16-2004 04:43 PM

I have a slight problem or two I don't have any last posts or forum headers....and I use this twice on the board both with two columns...however one set of forums has the left column about 56% - 44% width and the other 35% - 65% width...any ideas please....

Xenon 07-16-2004 04:45 PM

have you touched the template code?

be sure width="$column_width" is in your td tag, to make sure the columns will be equal.

funfone 07-16-2004 05:13 PM

Tks for the ="$column_width" clue

I added this width="5%" to the forumhome_forumbit_columncell

Not too sure why it works but it does a treat :)

Still searching for the 'Forum' & 'Post' Titles to be displayed ..

Xenon 07-16-2004 05:16 PM

look through the thread, i think someone posted it already :)

I've been trying to do this also, but haven't had any luck yet..


Xenon originally suggested that this line (functions_forumlist.php);
Code:

                        if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
Could be changed to this;
Code:

                        if ($forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
Then once similar changes had been made to the FORUMDISPLAY template to what had been done with the forumhome, it should work..


I haven't had any success with this though.. :(

base 07-19-2004 10:40 AM

^ yup, i got about as far as getting absolutely no subforums showing up in forumdisplay and then decided to revert some of my templates heh. any help with this would be greatly appreciated :)

Installed hack from original post with no alterations on vB3.03 ... works great! Thank you for sharing your work. Much appreciated!

ambrosious 07-31-2004 08:15 PM

When I run it for the first time, I get:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.1:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE forum SET

Can someone tell me where I went wrong?

Xenon 08-01-2004 11:15 AM

you haven't run the query in the first step, you HAVE to do, or this hack won't work :)

romeshomey 08-02-2004 02:18 AM

Man, I really like this hack! Thank you.......

BlackxRam 08-19-2004 02:56 AM

Whenever I upload this hack, all MY SUBFORUMS disappear and only the categories show. When I try to expand them, nothing happens. I have tried reinstalling multiple times doing each step VERY SLOWLY and the same thing.

BlackxRam 08-19-2004 03:18 AM

Nevermind, I got it working. It should say you need to designate a forum for it to take effect. lol.

base 08-19-2004 11:16 AM

anyone got this working for forumdisplay pages yet? any help would be very much appreciated :)

thanks in advance

ChessMess 08-20-2004 08:38 PM

Who has this installed right now? I've looked at several forums from people who indicated they installed it but when I look at thier boards, its the standard layout.

The coding you used to display pictures etc was it from this post or some where else.

I could never find the example OK mentioned, so I just did it myself. It's pretty simple HTML.

Blackbeard 08-22-2004 04:51 PM

Can someone please point out which bit of code allows images and a post count number in the arranged in columns , found one over in vbtemplate but it just gives images above. i have asked but dont seem to get much of a reply over there anymore so iam sorry iam back here, please forgive me

could some one please either post it here or PM with, what iam looking for is a way to make my forum columns to look like these attachments, either withlast poster or without.

Thankyou all very much for the help so far, one day this old man will learn something

Oblivion Knight 08-22-2004 08:52 PM

It's really not that hard to do..
http://www.gamerseuphoria.com/forum

I'll try and document something later tonight.

Blackbeard 08-22-2004 09:24 PM

that is what iwant Oblivion Knight thank you, my trouble is i would know where to start, just get by following instruction, put a spanner in my hand and i can do things, put a keyboard and a forum and it a mess, my members will agree with me on that one.

ChessMess 08-23-2004 07:55 AM

I'd also be interested in that information, or a mod to this mod to allow it. Thanks OK for putting that information together for us!

Oblivion Knight 08-23-2004 09:34 AM

Note that the guide will assume you have also installed a category spacing mod..


This is the one I used:
http://www.vbulletin.nl/community/showthread.php?t=5688

vBulletin.nl have access limitations set up, however.
There are similar mods available at vBulletinTemplates.com though..

Blackbeard 08-23-2004 09:50 AM

I cannot get it as iam just a new members, and i dont believe i could post 30 post and theres not many sections i would get involved with

ChessMess 08-23-2004 09:35 PM

category spacing mod?

spence2 08-24-2004 07:57 AM

<a href="http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?t=5895&page=1&pp=14" target="_blank">The images hack is here.</a>
There is also a category spacing hack there as well.

Blackbeard 08-24-2004 09:06 PM

Code:

forumhome_forumbit_columncell should look like this:


PHP Code:
<td colspan="1">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forums/forum_$forum[forumid].gif" alt="forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" title="">
</td>
<td colspan="40">
        <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

<div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div>


<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']">
<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]">
    <div class="smallfont">
        <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" title="<phrase 1="$lastpostinfo[lastthread]">$vbphrase[go_first_unread_in_thread_x]</phrase>"><strong>$lastpostuser[trimthread]</strong></a>

        <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&amp;f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]" 2="$lastpostinfo[lastposter]">last post <strong>$vbphrase[by_x]</strong></phrase>
    </div>
   
<div align="$stylevar[right]">
        $lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if>

        <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0"></a>
    </div>
</div>

<else />

    $lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostuser[lastpostuser]</span></if>
</if>
<td class="alt2" colspan="15" border="0"><center>$forum[replycount]</center></td>

Looking forward to your writeup!

Here is another board with a very nice looking multi-column image spacing setup: Buddha's Bar & Grill

.

ehjay 08-30-2004 11:09 PM

Just finished setting this up for the bottom half of our forums, we're going to spread it to more parts of the boards at a later date most likely.

ambrosious 09-04-2004 08:25 PM

Can someone please help me here? I installed this hack a while ago, some member complained that the "last post" had disappeared so I come back here, copy some code and transfer it over and got this: (see image)

Does anyone know why, will I have two forum categories, and the old and new posts icons quit working. I did upload forum_8 and forum_9 to the statusicon folder but only two of them worked.

I know this isn't a part of the original mod, but if anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

ambrosious 09-04-2004 08:28 PM

Let me just attach that image now... LOL

ambrosious 09-04-2004 10:39 PM

Thanks to you all, I got it!

Blackbeard 09-05-2004 11:15 AM

i still cannot get an old and a new icon to work, seem the link just looks for forum_9.gif not old or new.

whys this????

i used the code posted a few posts above.
