How to change category position?

Hi,

How can I make the category heading and description appear above the row which has the 'forum', 'last post', 'threads' and 'posts' headers? on the forum front page?

Cheers

By default, the forum home page only has those rows once at the top of the page, you might want to post a screen shot, supply a link to your site etc, if your forum is closed to guests, supply a test account to use.

I have attached a screenshot. I hope you can understand what I want to do.

By default vbulletin only does that once, the other forums by default dont have that info listed for each category section, that would require an additional hack/code change.

Unless you plan on doing what vb.org has done, are you sure you want to do it for just one category?

Yeh I would like to replicate what vb.org has done. Have they done this by hacking the code? If so, do you know the hack?

Its actually a template change, that modification came out years ago, not even sure if i have it anymore on my puter, ill check though, it might be here on the forum someplace, you could try searching in the template forums in the older 3.0.x & 3.5.x sections

Open forumhome template and remove this code and re-save the template:

Code:

<tr align="center">

          <td class="alt1">&nbsp;</td>

          <td class="alt2" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>

          <td class="alt1" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>

          <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>

          <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

          <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">

          <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>

          </if>

        </tr>

Open forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template and place the code from above right after this line and resave the template:

Code:

<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP BEFORE MAKING TEMPLATE CHANGES!

I was advised by an forum moderator to post in the thread so I am :)

Snake... does that work with 3.7 because I tried and it doesn't, any ideas or is it just me?
