Ok, I have this hack set up the way vbulletin.org has it installed, so that it shows the users browsing a forum in the forum description. On the forumhome page (the main page) i.e.

http://www.superherochat.com/vb

the "(1 user browsing)" etc aligns to the right in the forum description. This is the way I want it.

However when I go into subforums, i.e.

http://www.superherochat.com/vb/foru...php?forumid=10

the "(1 users browsing)" doesn't align to the right in the forum description. I've used the same code in both instances, why does it not work in the subforums?

May u share your code for the forumhome ... it doesn't work for me ... pleaze

Thx
Ihsahn

FWC,

I had to rework this a little to get it to still have the full box mouse-over, but I figured it out and it works great, thanks!

Now, I know this is a little off topic, but if you can do this, then moving the "Report this Post to Moderator" and "IP Logged" to the bottom of the message box, should be easy for you. How about it?

<normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
	<br><smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont></td>

and change it to something like this:

<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor }">
<table width=100% cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a></td>
<td width="35%" align="right" valign="top">
<smallfont>($browsers members browsing)</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<td colspan="2">
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

Don't forget to remove the spaces around firstaltcolor.

I took the easy way out. I replaced the links with images and moved them to the bottom of the post bit next to the Edit and Quote buttons.

I know, I thought of doing that myself, but wouldn't it make you feel good just to do it so you can say you did it? (Is any of this working in my favor?)

The template for forumhome_forumbit_level2_post should look like this for it to appear the same way vbulletin.org has it set up...

<tr align="center">
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" valign="top"><img src="{imagesfolder}/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">
<table width=100% cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a></td>
<td width="35%" align="right" valign="top">
<smallfont>($count members browsing)</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<td colspan="2">
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[replycount]</normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><normalfont>$forum[threadcount]</normalfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[lastpostinfo]</smallfont></td>
	<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}"><smallfont>$forum[moderators]</smallfont></td>
</tr>

[desi]

I feel stupid for even asking this, but what template do you edit to have this display in the subforums? I tried to put it in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post but it didn't show up in the subforums. :nervous:

Question - In subforums, I added the same code as I did for the main page..
<code>
<td bgcolor="#13486D">
<table width=100% cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a></td>
<td width="35%" align="right" valign="top">
<smallfont>($browsers members browsing)</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<td colspan="2">
<smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</code>

But the Members browsing appears exactly right after the forum description, so if the forum has no description, it is almost all the way over to the left.

Also.. none of the forums are picking up any members in them

Take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong...
