Combine Threads and Posts Column

If you use this enhancement, remember to click MARK AS INSTALLED for support! Thank you!

This is a small mod which combines your threads and posts into a single column. With this enhancement, it saves a few pixels on your forum width, and the small differentiation is also aesthetically pleasing. This requires a couple simple template modifications.

Installation
1. In FORUMHOME, find the following:

Code:

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

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

2. Replace it with this:

Code:

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

3. Save the template.

4. In forumhome_forumbit_level2_post, find the following:

Code:

        <td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>

        <td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>

5. Replace it with this:

Code:

                <td class="alt1"><small>$vbphrase[threads]: $forum[threadcount]<br />

        $vbphrase[posts]: $forum[replycount]</small></td>

6. Save the template.

7. In forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost, find the following:

Code:

<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>

8. Replace it with this:

Code:

<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">5<else />4</if>

9. Save the template. Done!

I'd love to install this, however my templates are different. :(

My FORUMHOME contains the following instead:

Code:

$vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads,

          $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts,

Hello,

The code you refer to is found in the "What's Going On" box towards the bottom and is the statistics for your whole forums. I did see what you did with your site though, and to do this, perform steps 1-3 in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost instead of FORUMHOME. It will get the same effect :)

Thank you, will try that soon. :)

What I see in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Quote:

<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[posts]</td>

Not the:

Quote:

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

Should the first one be replaced?

On Edit:

It worked.

my board has multiple error when i remove the second TD on forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

the error is like this:

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /xxxx/xxxx/forum/includes/functions_forumlist.php(395) : eval()'d code on line 20

You should change point 5 to

Code:

        <td class="alt1"><small>$vbphrase[threads]: $forum[threadcount]<br />

        $vbphrase[posts]: $forum[replycount]</small></td>

Adjustment has been made: thank you!

nike, can you post a copy of the code in the level2_post?

Excellent, clicked install :).

here it is, for your info, i'm using vbeo skin :)

Code:

<tr align="center">

        <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

        <td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">

                <div>

                        <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

                        <if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>

                </div>

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

                <if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"><div class="smallfont"><strong><a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></strong></div></if>

                <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

        </td>

        <td class="alt2">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>

        <td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount] / $forum[replycount]</td>

        <td class="alt2"></td>

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

        <td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators]&nbsp;</div></td>

        </if>

</tr>

$childforumbits
