Delete this part of code in the FORUMHOME_FORUMBIT_LEVEL1_NOPOST template:

HTML 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="12" /></td></tr>

My apologies, I forgot to check the code for validation like I should :-|. I have updated the port to reflect the changes and just grab the new TXT file. For those who don't wanna go through it all here are the XHTML Validation changes. (If you find more let me know :))

Find the following code in FORUMHOME
======================================

HTML Code:

<!-- main -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<thead>

    <if condition="$show['guest']">

    <!-- guest welcome message -->

    <tr>

        <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">

            <phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <!-- / guest welcome message -->

    </if>

</thead>

$forumbits

$forumhome_markread_script

<!-- /main -->

Replace that code with the following:
======================================

HTML Code:

<!-- main -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

    <if condition="$show['guest']">

    <!-- guest welcome message -->

    <tr>

        <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>">

            <phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <!-- / guest welcome message -->

    </if>

</table>

$forumbits

$forumhome_markread_script

<!-- /main -->

All done.

It is pretty self explainitory. It seperates each forum category on the forumhome so it looks neater and more organized. Can be seen on many forums today. I even have a screenshot up there for you.

i understand that... i was asking about the update... i used your first code and it worked great.. just curious what the update did? and the optional template edit that u have in the txt file what does that do? thanks for your work.. looks great w/ my skin.

I'm using the Kirsch style & this did weird things with the post icon box portion of each forum listing - they're all different widths now. I'm trying to figure out which part controls that in order to fix it.

I'm not sure what went wrong. At any rate, I uninstalled this and did Flo's and it worked fine, so I'll go with that one. Thank you for posting this, though, it still helped & I wouldn't have found it otherwise probably. :)

I've installed it and it works great but the last part, the optional one in the forumhome_lastpostby template doesn't seem to work. Whenever people click on the little arrow in order to get to the last post, they get a message 'No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.'

I know, I could just leave this but I love the way it looks and thought I'd ask since I have no idea what I'm doing and don't wanna mess up the whole template.

Ah well, I ended up messing around myself and here's the code that managed to fix my problem:

Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="175"><tr align="$stylevar[right]">



                <td nowrap="nowrap"><span class="smallfont">



                <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" title="Go to first unread post in thread '$lastpostinfo[lastthread]'"><b>$lastpostinfo[trimthread]</b></a><br />



Poster: <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]find=lastposter&amp;f=$lastpostinfo[forumid]">$lastpostinfo[lastposter]</a><br /> 



                        $lastpostinfo[lastpostdate]



                        <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2">



                                <span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span>



                        </if>



                        </span></td>



                <td nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a></td>



        </tr></table>

All I did was changing the link and url of the 'Go to last post' arrow.

Thank you, but now my Threads, Posts and Moderators collumns are to much expanded through this.
Forum and Last Posts collumn are now to small...

How can I change the column width?

ssvp	09-09-2006 05:26 AM

I'm no expert.. But here's what I did..

LEVEL1_NOPOST - I changed this to 20.

Code:

<td class="thead" width="20"> </td>

LEVEL2_POST - I change this to 20. basically I added width="20"

Code:

<tr align="center">

        <td class="alt2" width="20" align="$stylevar[left]">

Now my Status icons I use fir that width, your icons may be different.. Basically I just did some trial and error.. It solved my various width issues..

DaPro,

When you are logged in and the guest welcome is not showing. The table open and close tags are still there:

HTML Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">



</table>

You should put the if statements before the table open tag and after the table close tag, like this:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['guest']">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">



...



</table>

</if>

Is this 3.6.2 compatible?

Shanj

10-12-2006 11:54 PM

Is there a mod to set the default collapse layout? At minimum it'd be nice to open the forum with no forums expanded. Bertter select one or more key ones to expand and that's part of the default view.

I was looking for this! Thanks! Clicked install! :lick:

Although after doing this, it seems that my category and last post columns are not aligned with each other. But the thread and posts columns are fine. Any idea on why this is?

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:13 PM.
