Hi there,
It would be most wonderful if I could get some help or direction on where to find the little hacks that I was looking for, for my board. I surfed here and have been browsing around, but to be honest, it is a bit overwhelming and I can't seem to get what I want. Six things that I wish to have on my vBB 2.2.1 board: 1- On the frontpage of the forum, there are the categories. They are not attached to eachother, there is a space between the different categories. 2- Below each category topic is (in one table row) repeated: forum / posts / threads / moderator(s) .. This really gives each category as being its own forum. 3- When viewing a thread, every use has besides its username: (username) [o] a search glas, when moving mouse over it, it says: search for more threads from this user. 4- on http://www.macfora.com the frontpage of the forum has the boards listed, with a onmouseover highlight. The code which needs to be added, is what I know already. onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#EFF2F5'; this.style.cursor='hand';" onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';" this needs to be in the <td .. > tag. A moderator on vbulletin.com mentioned that this needs to be added in the template at forum ... on a 'bit' thing. But so far i haven't been able to find $forumbits 5- The portal of vbulletin.org is that the vbPortal 3.0 beta1 pr7.1 (where can i find the latest version?) 6- How can I alter the background of an category like on many forums, so it has an background image and not just a colour ? That way I could really give it a nice dimension. I really hope to achieve either of the above 'hacks' for my www.creations.nl board, so I can make it more efficient and better looking. Maybe it looks like a lot of 'wanna be, newbie' questions, but I am pretty new to the vbb and have been browsing the options and styles and templates to see if I could find it myself, but just couldn't so far. Maybe I just need a push in the right direction. And instead of just making 6 little individual requests, I just posted all the questions at once. Hope they are clear.. and I hope to get some replies  Fnx so far!

A moderator on vbulletin.com mentioned that this needs to be added in the template at forum ... on a 'bit' thing. But so far i haven't been able to find $forumbits I got in touch with the smoothie the landlord of macfora and he mailed me back the following: In order to change it: Alter > forumhome_forumbit_level2_post And so I did .. I looked that up in the ACP and opened the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template and looked at it. I found: Code:
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left">
Code:
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"
onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='{secondaltcolor}';
this.style.cursor='hand';"
onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='{firstaltcolor}';"
onClick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]'">
You can see the result @ http://www.creations.nl/ Fnx smoothie & tubedogg for their help ! [thread on vBulletin.com] > here [smootchie's site] > here One down, five to go..

2- Below each category topic is (in one table row) repeated: forum / posts / threads / moderator(s) .. This really gives each category as being its own forum.
On the frontpage of the forum (the index of the categories) each category now has its own indexing header. The one that says: Forum / Posts / Threads / Moderator(s) is now below every category The next step is to split up the categories from eachother so they really look like they are seperate boards. But how it looks now, is pretty cool too Credits goto Smoothie from macfora.com who provided me with the right code! Open your forumhome template. Look for: Code:
<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont> </smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor}" width="80%" align="left"><smallfont color="{ tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Forum</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{ tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Posts</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor}"><smallfont color="{ tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Threads</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor}" nowrap><smallfont color="{ tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Last Post</b></smallfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{ tableheadbgcolor}" width="20%"><smallfont color="{ tableheadtextcolor}"><b>Moderator</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
Cut that code and 'save' the template. Now open the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template. Paste the code you cut from the other template below the last line of what is currently there. Save it Now do the same for the forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost template. Save it. And thats it. All done. Sweet! Two down, four to go.

1- In the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template I added this:
Code:
<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="{forumhomebar}" colspan="5" align="left"> </td>
</tr>
3- Add this in postbit template: Code:
[<a href="search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=finduser&userid=$post[userid]"><img src="{imagesfolder}/postbit_find.gif" border="0" alt="Find more posts by $userinfo[username]" align="middle"></a>]
5- Portal is custom made (by me).  If you want it contact me by e-mail. 6- Once again in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template, add a background="xx.gif" attribute to the <tr id="cat"> tag.

To seperate the categories from eachother, so they have a white line between them as done on www.creations.nl Original 'hack?' by FireFly from vBulletin.org which sturred me into the right direction. But instead of <td> I used <table> to split up, so we dont get those nasty lines on the side of the categories. Goto the Admin Control Panel: In order to split the categories from eachother: Forum Home Page Templates >> forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost at the top Code:
</table>
</td></tr></table><br>
<table cellpadding="{ tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{ tablebordercolor}" { tableouterextra} width="{ contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{ tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" { tableinnerextra} width="100%">
And this one is a fix, so the 'currently active users' aren't sticky to the last categorie: Forum Home Page Templates >> forumhome Just after $forumbits add: Code:
</table>
</td></tr></table><br>
<table cellpadding="{ tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{ tablebordercolor}" { tableouterextra} width="{ contenttablewidth}" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{ tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" { tableinnerextra} width="100%">
For example of how it looks: www.creations.nl And if you need specific help (i can try!): info@creations.nl

FireFly,
I plugged in your code, but I have the expand/contract threads hack installed. When I contract the threads, I see the search icon. When I expand, it disappears. Check it out: http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthr...&threadid=3513

Great, great. Thanks! It works. While you're around, and I know it's off topic, but which template allows me to hack the width of the row beneath "Discussion Subjects" on my forums home? Is it just $forumhome?
