How can this be done...?
 

Well firstly, let me congratulate the owners of this forum.

Nice clean layout, very efficient and compact...:)

Well, the reason im posting here is i was wondering how yaxay acheived this effect...

They dont have their catagory headings in a table, it's like an image, but no table...i was just wondering if anyone could help me get this effect?

All that was done with images and seting tables where they are needed!:)

Hows it done, anyone right or breifly explain how?

well first of all you will need to make the images,
thats a start.

Thats all i pretty much know.

Sorry i couldn't help you anymore:(

LOL, ovbiously i made the images;) But when i put them up, theres a black out line like a box, basically, i wanna outline the image myself without having the square outline around it

it was done by slicing images in photoshop, then painstakingly integrated...


I did the same thing at Warpstorm... maybe once the damn server goes up you can see :)

Any chance you could explain so i can try it for my forum?

Anymore help anyone?

slicing involves making a large image, then saving it for the web.. it seperates the images in tables so they can have parts of the postbit devided.

so first thing you'd need to do would be to come up with the image, then we can go from there

This requires to play with html table tags and nesting. Instead of the normal forumhome display level noposts template headers for the category, replace those with your own version, spanning over 3 and setting width to them to match the pictures.

Since I do it differently then possible, I can't help on the easy and 'this is how to do it' way. Maybe ask on yaxay itself?

There is actually a lot (or what I consider a lot) to modify. I have done the same things yaxay did for a client of mine not too long ago, but it is quite a bit to document, although it is on my todo list. The release of this modification comes with the release of the postbit I will be doing, both will be released when they are done :).

Thanx for the help guys, ill get onto designing the image then, just guess i gotta wait for the mod.

Thanks for the help and response:)

If you look at it you can see ther eis only one image the General thing. Then under it is a table with a colored background. this is so the tables aren't funny looking cause of the images. then under the forum, post, thing...there is another row witha n orange background. It can't be that hard to do.

Hmm, I was wrong....sorry im dumb the images are sliced and some are backgrounds so they work with tables. SOrry I won't post I jsut sound dumb.
