Removing the Post and Thread count columns.

Removing the columns

The different snippets of code might differ from style to style. I'm writing this basing it on my own (VBStyle's Element), but you have to pay close attention and focus on the code in bold. You'll identify the snippets quickly that way.

FORUMDISPLAY
Find

PHP Code:

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


Comment it or remove it. (How to comment? wrap the code between <!-- and -->)
Found nothing. 3.7.0 search this instead. (without the "<!- ->" of course)

PHP Code:

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


forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

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

forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Same. Search this instead:

PHP Code:

<!--
    <td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
    <td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>
--> 


================================================== ====
Adding the counts below the forum description

Now you might or might not want to display that information. If you do, keep reading.
Edit the following templates

forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost

Find

PHP Code:

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


Add below:

<div id="pcnts" class="smallfont forumcount"><strong>{$vbphrase[threads]}:</strong> $forum[threadcount] | <strong>{$vbphrase[posts]}:</strong> $forum[replycount]</div>

forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find

PHP Code:

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


Add above (not below!):

<div id="pcnts" class="smallfont forumcount"><strong>{$vbphrase[threads]}:</strong> $forum[threadcount] | <strong>{$vbphrase[posts]}:</strong> $forum[replycount]</div>

================================================== ====

As far as styling goes I liked what appletalk did but made one minor adjustment as far as positioning was concerned. Note div "id="pcnts"" added which allows you to move both count fields as one and then the following CSS:

PHP Code:

#pcnts {float: left; margin-left: 30%;}
.forumcount {
 margin: 3px 0;
 color: #333;
 font-size: 10px;
} 


Cheers, and thx for a nice, cleaner looking style, so how does one make a sceenshot?
