[Release] Forum Border
Author: SaintDog
Description: This will teach you how to add a border around your forum such as what we have here (ie: the blue border/outline). |
ive installed this and i cannot get the forum like urs.. ie the main bits the catagories dont strech the boarder if it is something like 70%
Could you tell me what the values are on this forum? |
You have to set the forum at a fixed with (ie: in pixels) for some reason, you can not use percentages.

How come my banner and stuff are in a big long box instead of the box being around EVERYTHING.
|
Nevermind, I got it!
|
i can't get this to work on my forums, i added it and nothing
|
how would this be modified for an image border?

I would figuere it is instead of bgcolor, you put background="images/image.gif" But I would wait for saintdog say i am correct
|
While you are partially correct, it would take a little extra coding to do image based borders.
|
How about put an index.html in the dir of your forum that is devided into 3 frames, 2 outside frames have your image border aligned so that they stick to your board :)
much simpler imo Greetz, Dimi |
how can i get the border around each forum section? like you have or done here: http://yaxay.com/yack/ where it says general and has the orange and gray and blue? can someone direct me to a thread walkthrough?

the things mentioned in this topic, arent they the same as what is mentioned here:
http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mo...=&threadid=125 just a matter of uploading a catbackround image to the images/frontpage folder? im more asking how to modify that table so it looks like above^^ where its blue and kinda looks like a folder almost... |
Ok, then I'm confused as to what you're asking. Are you looking for a way to add images to your categories, or to your posts, or both?
|
soryr to confuse you, im trying to ask, basically if you take this forum thread for instance. if you look at each of the posts, at the very top in blue where it says - Posted: 07-18-2002 at 10:34 PM in blue and on the left and right of that Blue border it looks like three layers ontop of each other. If you go here: http://yaxay.com/yack/ you will see the same outline but in blue, orange, and grey.
that is what i want, i want that "border" to be on my Forum homepage categories and on each individual posts as well i hope i clarified better, i would take a SS but i dont have access to photoshop at the moment |
Ok, now I know what you're looking for!
SaintDog has not released the mod you're looking for. You can find his explanation at this link. However, what you're looking for is similar in nature to [Release] Category Backgrounds template mod [link] and could be modified to work with your postbit. What he's done (and I hope I don't get accussed of ripping here ;)) is to create a table with the following: 1. First cell includes the left image 2. Second cell includes a background image (see link above for the template mod) and the post title 3. Third cell includes the right image 4. He repeats the the similar process for the footer I can see why SaintDog hasn't relased this just yet. There's a lot of options here in this template mod depending on how your postbit is configured. Plus, you have to have custom images. I hope that helps! |
hmm, can you please post a code that i can make a border only in the sides of the forum and not around it? i mean one line in the left and one in the right, not in the bottom and not in upper part..
with images? |
hmmz, this may come in handy, thnx.
|
someone please? i really need this code..
|
I'd suggest that you make a post in the Template Modification Requests Forum [link].
|
ok, thanks
|
this what Iam was looking so long :P
but looks like its messed when Iam viewing post: my logo and thread name are in border and everything other is without it... if u dont get it, plz reply and I'll post a screenshot... thx |
A screenshot would help. :)
|
|
Did you apply the template mod in this thread? If you did, you should have a border around your entire forum, just like it is here.
|
<font size="1">very nice! the text is great help for the new and un-developed coders...it makes it very easy to do.
also.. pixeljunction had a tutorial on how to do it once, except there's was on how to add graphic borders... and the tutorial was horrible in my eyes, it was very complicated to the new ones. However, Saintdog, you did an excellent job on keeping good instructions for the coder's to follow. good work my friend, Janitor</font> |
I'll give it a shot!
|
can someone help me out?
I want the border around my WHOLE FORUM! trust me i done everything right! |

the border doesnt show at all here i redone it 5 times :D
|

This is a very nice hack, but my page is too close to the left of the border. Is there any way I can center this?
