Alternative Forumhome Lastpost Display
 

This tutorial changes the look of the last posted post in the forumhome template. The vertical column for the last posts disappears and a box with the last posted post appears below the forum description. Also see the included screenshot to get a better view of this mod.

History:
Version 1.0: First release.
Version 1.1: Added collapsable boxes.
Version 1.2: Fixed boxes for subforums.
Version 1.3: Fixed scrambled box without forum description, fixed box for no-posts forum, added missing "collapseimg" variable to lastpostby.gif, compatible with vBulletin 3.7.x.
Version 1.31: Small adjustment to the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template.

Support only for people who've marked as installed.

Demo?

Sorry, I have it only implanted on my testvb at the moment. But the screenshot is animated, so it gives a good impression of how it seems to work.

works good ........

nice

Never mind, I didn't read the entire first post.

Could this be collaped by default?
and if so what edits do i have to make?
Thanks

Does this work well with category view? All the rest in the past haven't worked well at all.

Yes, that is possible. Note that visitors with javascript disabled, can't see the content of the by default collapsed box.

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post, search for:
Add after:

It works fine now.

For last vBulletin 3.7.0 RC3 this search and remove in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post:
<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>

now is this:
<td class="alt2">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>

Nice template mod, i like it!

How do you change the background of the last post info to like alt2 or alt1? Thanks in advance.
