Forum Home Enhancements - Extra forumbit controls

This adds 4 mini icons (famfam) corresponding to each forum on forumhome and forumdisplay (subforums)

DEMO1
DEMO2

The 4 controls added are:-

Read new Posts
Create a new thread
Subscribe to Forum
RSS Feed


1. First upload the 4 attached icons in images/misc/ folder.

2. Then in Forum Home Templates/forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find this:

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

Add below:-

<div style="float:right">
<a href="search.php?do=getnew&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newposts.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Read New Posts" /></a>

<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newthread.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Create a New Thread" /></a>

<a href="subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/subscribe.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe" /></a>

<a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/rss.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="RSS feed" /></a>
</div>

3. Then in Forum Home Templates/forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Find this:

<td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>
			<td width="100%">

Make the change in the above code (in red) and add below:-

<div style="float:right">
<a href="search.php?do=getnew&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newposts.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Read New Posts" /></a>

<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/newthread.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Create a New Thread" /></a>

<a href="subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/subscribe.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe" /></a>

<a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/rss.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="RSS feed" /></a>
</div>

At first impression(15min working)... very very nice mod.

Other great improvement for this is adding the four vb phrases to translate the mod on forum.

everything is possible!

I don't use the recent threads cmps module, so you'll have to figure it out.

The code remains the same, you'll probably need to add it in adv_portal_recthreads_exp_head OR adv_portal_recthreads_exp template. It would be easy, try it out.

Enable all the options in External data provider. If it still doesn't work, try it in the fresh default style.

no go. Do I have to have a specific RS feed defined first?

Opsssss... I have found some errors validation with Internet Explorer in level1_post.

For level2_post no problem, and with mozilla firefox works all 100%...

Look above print screen...
