Postbit help
 

I would like to modify how threads are displayed and would very much appreciate some help. I think this is beyond my scope, so I am hoping someone can help me.

Basically on showthread pages I want to separate each post slightly. Please see my example screenshot:

Also, where the red dots are, can I change the color of that bar to be white so it looks as though the post content area flows into it and it is not separated by the white/grey?

Your image is too small for us to view it.

Sorry Lynne, I didn't even realise.

This link should be better :)

OK, the postfoot background uses the stylevar "postbit_foot_background"

As for the spacing between posts, that is set in this CSS:

So, either change the padding stylevar (which will effect a lot more than that) or just add this to your additional.css template:
Change xx to the margin you want.

Hi Lynne :)

Thanks for that works great, Can you also help me change one other bit

If you look at the screenshot: http://i.imgbox.com/abl4GJQQ.png


I would like to make the post head curved. However, see how the first post is attached to the blue bar... Can every post after post #1 be curved?

I suppose the first post on every page needs to stay the same (not curved) but every subsequent posthead can be curved.

--------------- Added [DATE]1365979234[/DATE] at [TIME]1365979234[/TIME] ---------------

Also, is it possible to attach that bottom bar to the last posts postbit_foot

You would need to add several (and go look up radius css because you need to add different stuff for different browsers - this is just for one browser):

Hi Lynne!

Thanks so much that worked great!

There's just two more things which I would love to fix.

Can it be made so the first post on each page is not curved.

Here is a URL to that thread http://forums.nrlweekly.com/showthre...the-Masters%29

You probably can't change the first post without either changing the template or using a plugin to change the template to allow a custom class for all postibits but the first of the page.

Why not curve the tool bar bottom and add a small space between it and the first post? That would probably be easier.

That's a good idea Lynne :)

Would you be able to help me with the code for that?

There's no gap between the task bar and the bar containing the time/date/post number. Looks like it's treating it all as one object.
On mine even the default has a gap between them. Works great on mine.

4.1.2 pl8 looking at it with IE10.
Thanks Lynne.

Lynne I am still in need of a little bit of assistance :)

I don't know what you want right now. There is supposed to be a gap between the top bar and the postbit. I'd suggest putting it back. If you want to have no gap, I think you will need to write some plugin to do what you want. I don't have the time to look into that, so you would need to look into how to do that.

No :) All I would like to do is what you suggested would be easier:

Then something like you did above to the tcat class:

Since it is a custom style, I have no idea if that will affect other areas and there is no id tag I can use to make it unique to that page. You will need to edit your templates to do that.

You are right, tcat is used on other pages too such as the index.

But I have edited the template so on showthread tcat is now like this:

<div class="tcat" id="tcat_showthread">

Can we adjust your code to only work on showthread now?

I just looked at your site and it looks like you already figured this one out. :)

Hi Lynne, yes I just had to add a # in front of the ID.

Thanks for all your help. I'm quite a novice at all things coding, so i definitely appreciate all your assistance :D

Thanks so much
