Top & Bottom Category Table ?

[G-Force 199]

I want to make a top & bottom category table. I tried hard but always display noncorrectly. How can I do this ?

Hello,

In order to have the spacing, you need to use Zacharys forum space mod (unless another one has been released.)

That can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...tegory+Spacing

Install that First!

After that modification is installed, we need to create 2 custom class definitions:

ACP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Hit "GO"

Scroll down to the bottom where it says "Additional CSS Definitions". Edit the following code to meet your needs then add it and save it.

.Your_Name_Top
{
	background: #FFFFFF  url(/path/to/pic.gif) repeat-x top left;
	color: #000000;
	font: bold 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.Your_Name_Bot
{
	background: #FFFFFF  url(/path/to/pic.gif) repeat-x top left;
	color: #000000;
	font: bold 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Next:

ACP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > then click the "<<>>" and scroll down to "Forum Home Templates" > Forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost.

(Edit the below code to reflect the class name you created and the image names, height, and width.)

At the top of forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost add:

<!--Top Table Code-->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr> 
<td height="" valign="top" width="" ><img src="/images/leftimage.gif" alt="" width="" height="" /> </td>
<td align="center" class="Your_Name_Top"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<td width="" valign="top"><img src="/images/rightimage.gif" alt="" width="" height="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--/End Top Table Code-->

Still in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost find: <div style="padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;"></div>
(If you installed the "Spacing Contrib" that will be there!)

Add above:

<!--Lower Table -->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr> 
    <td width="" height=""><img src="/images/leftbotimage.gif" alt="" width="" height="" /></td>
    <td align="center" class="Your_Name_Bot">Text can go here or nothing at all.</td>
    <td width="" height=""><img src="/images/rightbotimage.gif" alt="" width="" height="" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!--/End Lower Tables -->

Make sure you edit the above code to reflect the class name you created and the images name, height, and width.

Hope that helps.

Thank for your help.
I tried it & it's alright.

But it's a space between the category table and the forum navigator.
How can I remove it ?

I have an extremely large space (the size of another category) between my header and forums... any suggestions?

Anyone? I'm having the same trouble.

Hello,

To remove the space, scroll below the top images and look for a <br> or <br /> statement and remove it. That is most likely causing the space. If you cannot find one, you might have an extra <td> or</td> somewhere that isn't needed.

If you still have the problem, PM me on the site with an admin username and password and i will see what I can do about correcting it for you.

Hello,
Non of this is working
I have the same image below the cat image as I did before, It does load but above the table that was already there making two titles and two different cat tables...
When I remove the tbody, that goes away, and so does my forum spacing and there is still a good 5-10 pixels between the cat header and the actual forums.

Any help is much appreciated.
