Temp Modded - single forum design
Website Name - Vision Engine
Community URL - http://www.visionengine.com/board/ About Your Community - Indie Filmmaking talk, articles, films. Template Mod's Installed - I've forgotten. It's been a work in progress for a long time. One thing after another. Most of it is custom. This was a pretty crazy thing to do to a vb. But for some reason the indie film community doesn't care for boards that have multiple forums. They'd rather have one list and in order to try and run a successful community I've had to bend to those wishes. In some ways it's really nice. It's definitely simple looking. I don't care for all those tiny little icons and multiple column's vb has all over the place anyway. So it's all been stripped away. From the forum homepage to the forum display to the postbit. Everything has been simplified and rearranged. The entire site is running off of vb with Logicians Web Templates which in my opinion is the greatest thing to ever be made for vb right next to the template backup hack. Also here is a preview of three different color schemes for the site that users can choose: http://www.visionengine.com/board/vi...=&pg=stylesets |

It indeed is simple, but if this was the effect you were after, you did it quite well.

Hi Richie. Sorry I haven't been here in forever. Seems like you aren't using Vb anymore. Well if you plan to here is how I did it. (though it's not longer like that on my site). This is for vb 2.x series software. I don't know if it would work in vb3
First backup index.php and then replace it with an index.php page with only this code PHP Code:
Next open your showthread template and take out $navbar Replace it with a generic HTML link to the specific forum you are using. Do the same with the forumdisplay template. Also take out the entire forumjump code at the bottom of each template. The purpose of these last two template edits is to stop your members from seeing the navbar at the top of the screen which they could click on to view other categories and forums that you don't want them to easily get to. Personally I think Vbulletin should come with a default setting that allows you to display the threadlist of a single forum on indiex.php if all you have is one forum on your board. No reason to make people click more then they have to. I know php-post messageboard has this feature. I don't know if VB3 has it or not since I'm still using 2.x. But until (if) it ever gets added this is a work around for 2.x series vb's. |

Alright it's been many months since my last design. Too bad I didn't post a picture then since it's now changed.
Anyway here are the two styles my members are able to use right now. BTW does anyone know how to get rid of those two columns on the far left? The one with all the little envelopes and the empty one right next to it. No one knows what they are and they just bloat the look. I did it before but I can't remember how. |
