DEMO2

The 4 controls added are:-

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>

Is there anyway to get the icons to appear either to the left or to the right of the title of the forum area?

So it would be: Fourm (icon) (icon) (icon) (icon) (5 Guests Viewing)

Yes, just insert your code below the following in your forumhome_forumbit_level2_post Template:

Code:

			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

And remove the DIV tags at the beginning and end.

installed, tried it out, uninstalled -- rss links were not working, and decided the one in the browser url bar was sufficient

GSeybold · #**105** 08-13-2009, 02:51 AM

Rss doesn't work but the rest do. Thanks! Great mod!

Mike21 · #**106** 08-14-2009, 09:26 PM

This doesnt show up on my forumbit_level2_post section:

Code:

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

M@tthew · #**107** 08-15-2009, 02:17 PM

Excellent, installed and no probs - thank you.

JasonGD · #**108** 08-18-2009, 06:26 AM

This should be integrated with vB by default.

The only problem I'm having seems to be a common one, my RSS page is blank. I've switched all my syndication settings to On in my vB Options, maybe it just takes some time to kick in?
Who knows, it's still gold.

Installed!

Update: I found out that the reason my RSS page is blank is because I have my forum set to private, nothing is guest-viewable. Didn't even think of that at first.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
