Social Group and Album Enhancements - New Social Groups page layout

A template edit for the Social Groups page to look more like the Profile page.

version 1.2 - 2009-02-07
Fixed some issues with the conditions being inside the div tags instead of outside. Searching discussions should now give you a full size table listing instead of the 'short' table. (And yeah, I skipped version 1.1 just cuz I felt like it!)

version 1.3 - 2009-02-12
Added View Pictures and Add Pictures at bottom of Pictures Box (thanks Theater!) and fixed issue with centering pictures in Social Groups causing pictures to display vertically in the Group Pictures page.

version 1.3.1 - 2009-02-12
Fixed a condition around an end div tag.

version 1.3.2 - 2009-03-07
Fixed a condition around the Add Pictures link.

1. Open the socialgroups_css template and FIND the following lines at the end:

-->
</style>

Add the following lines ABOVE those lines:

#content_container {
    width:100%;
    float:left;
    margin-right:-256px;
}
#content {
    margin-right:256px;
}
#sidebar_container {
    width:250px;
    float:right;
}
.content_block {
    margin-bottom:6px;
    padding:1px;
}
.content_block .block_row {
    padding:6px;
    margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.content_block .block_title {
    padding:6px;
    margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.content_block h4.thead, .content_block .block_title {
    padding:4px;
    margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.content_block .block_footer {
    text-align:right;
    padding:4px;
    margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;
}

Suggested change to this CSS if you use vBSEO is in the text file and in this post. It was suggested by Vitaly, however since I don't use vBSEO, I have no comment regarding it.


2. REPLACE your socialgroups_group template with the following:

** see text file.  The template contents are too long. **

Please click INSTALL if you find this useful.

The only issue/problem i see is it takes away the option to "Mass PM group"
Can you edit the code so this is still an option.?

If somebody running 3.8.1 wants to post a 'fix' to add that, then they may. But I can't really look at it until I am running a later version than I currently am (3.8.0).

Does your Social groups still have the option to "Mass PM Group"..?
(If it works on your 3.8.1, that means i have another issue)

I'd like to third the suggestion if I may.

Your changes make that page look a lot nicer, but you have to get past the main group page first which isn't so nice. This page has bothered me since it's inception. I like the idea, hate the layout.

Thanks.

So it does take away that option from you too.

No.. i am wrong, the Mass PM option is a mod so you may not have it installed.. i was thinking it was part of 3.8.1.

I'll just have to try to re-install it.
Thanks
