Category Images Top & Bottom + Category Spacing

Enjoy!

I dont have any screens for this mod atm, so im sorry


However i did use this style on

www.squareultima.com/forums



If there are any problems let me know

repaste the top part into your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost to take advantage of collasping.

Hello,
For those that were wondering, this does work on 3.0.7. I just installed it, and the installation went flawless. For those of you that are not seeing the space between the forums, it is a simple fix. There is a typo in the instructions.

In your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost you are told to place this at the VERY bottom.

PHP Code:

<div style="padding: 5px 5px 5px p5x;"></div> 


If you look at the numbers, the last 5px is written incorrectly. You should actually add this:

PHP Code:

<div style="padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;"></div> 


If you have done everything as you were instructed, and make this change that is posted, the spacing will appear.
Also, if you use massive graphics for your top cat., the bottom one might appear not to work. I had this problem. Once I shrunk my cat images down, the bottom and top appeared as they were supposed to.

I would show an example, but I played with this on my test site before I actually install it on my real site.

My collasping images have been pushed into the middle. I have been trying for like 2 or 3 hours just trying to figure it out and I cannot find my issue.

Anyone please

I checked the code and it's this:
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
</td>
</tr>
</thead>

What exactly does this empty row do? Firefox and Opera do display empty rows unlike IE, and it doesn't look nice when it's empty.

I just deleted this row but I would like to know its purpuse. Please advise.

As far as the problem with the widths, please see the screenshot provided. Firefox displays it correctly, but Opera and IEWin do not.


Any suggestions?

thanks

PS. excellent mod by the way.

Yes why is this extra table there? I didnt take mine out because I dont know if i should.

Could someone give me any answers?

How do I just do the category spacing thing? only if I use gradients?

[G3MM4]

Thanks for posting this mod, I've been wondering how to customise the category strips in this way. It's all worked fine, but I keep getting a problem with the background showing up where it shouldn't. The custom category strip is meant to be rounded, but I can still see the background (marked by red circles). Please see attachment. How can I solve this problem?

[G3MM4]

Bump!

Can anyone help please?

I solved this by not making the corners transparent. I colored them the color of the background.
