Extra forumbit controls · **Released**: 02-03-2009

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:

Code:

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

Add below:-

Code:

<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:

Code:

<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:-

Code:

<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>

Thats it!

Again, this is just with Safari and sub-forums. The regular forums with the controls are rendered fine, even with Safari!

The various flavours of IE, plus Firefox and Chrome don't have this issue, just Safari. I'm on 3.8.2.

Any ideas on how to correct it?

I can confirm same on Safari, cannot seem to work it out though, any ideas?

Works great thanks.

Nice little effect.

Awesome modification, well done. Looks great on my VB 3.8.2 site

How do you get this to work properly with Chrome? I see it works fine on other sites with Chrome but it only appears properly for mine in Firefox.

Edit: Problem is fixed after I moved my forums under a parent category.

Works great with 3.8.1 without using the "<td width="100%">". This is on the disturbed style.

Hi...
Thanks For the great modification..
How can we restrict this in some private forums ?

THIS IS AWESOME.... install!

EDIT: Is there any way to make it so the forum descriptions dont go underneath the icons, it would look better if there was some sort of allignment to fix that so the icons have nothing underneath and the forum description text just starts from the beginning on a new line
