vb.org Archive - Forum Home Enhancements - Notices Displayed Inside of the Navbar

The display of notices can be awkward and obtrusive, especially if you have something else like ads or statistics displayed above the forum listings. Conveniently, there's an awkward and large gap between the breadcrumbs and login form.

These modifications simply create another table between the breadcrumbs and login forum. The notices will no longer be displayed under the navbar but instead inside of this table. Any excessively long text will create a vertical scroll bar.

Here's an example of what these template modifications will result in:

Template Modifications:

1. Remove the notifications code from its current position.

Find the following code in your navbar template and remove it:

Code:

<if condition="$show['notices']">

<form action="profile.php?do=dismissnotice" method="post" id="notices">

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="dismissnotice" />

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

<input type="hidden" id="dismiss_notice_hidden" name="dismiss_noticeid" value="" />

<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$return_link" />

    <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

    <tr>

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

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td class="alt1">

            $notices

        </td>

    </tr>

    </table>

    <br />

</form>

</if>

2. Find the following code:*

Code:

<td class="alt1" width="100%">

Replace it with this:

Code:

<td class="alt1" width="25%">

3. Find the following code:*

Code:

<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">

Repalce it with this:

Code:

<td class="alt2" width="25%">

4. Find the following code:*

Code:

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>

        </if>



</td>

Insert the following code after it:

Code:

<!-- Custom Notices  -->

 

 <td class="notices" width="50%">

<if condition="$show['notices']">

 

    <form action="profile.php?do=dismissnotice" method="post" id="notices">

    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="dismissnotice" />

    <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

    <input type="hidden" id="dismiss_notice_hidden" name="dismiss_noticeid" value="" />

 

<div style="overflow:auto;height:50px">

<br>

    $notices

</form>

</if>

</td>

 

<!-- / Custom Notices -->

And you're done!
