Category Spacing for Gold+

The old thread has tons of unneeded info, so heres Category Spacing for Gold+

[StarBuG]

thx for this release.

But you should update your instructions with the fix from OGT cause without it there is no spacing!

Thank you for this mod, just what I needed to continue my forums layout. ^^

	  <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
	  <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>

with this code that was originally mine, I beleive from the index mod floris put up, that puts index headers below cat names, and it works out much nicer, however, if the last post containes 3-4 large words, whatever method is used to trim post titles doesn't work, and will knock the last post column out of alignment.

<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="38">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="240">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="70">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="70">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="120">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>

changing width="240" in this:

<td class="thead" width="240">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>

to something larger would alleviate that, but your mileage may vary. I think I am going to set it to 300 and see how it goes for awhile, but I think if the function that turns "a long postname" into "a long..." to fit table widths were looked at, it would be a cleaner fix.

Now apply the same width to the template that makes up the rows, and you are done

I did it on vb3.0.1. Maybe you have modified templates, but with a clean install of 3.0.1 all you have to do is to follow the instructions.

How do you give it a bigger gap between the categories?

[Schwarze Katze]

I tried this mod and I'm pretty pleased. Still there's a little problem I've got.
There's one forum we've got, that's not put in a categorie. It's the first forum on the list and well, there's no spacing between this forum and the categorie following. Additionally this forum column shows up wider than the others.
I suppose I need to modify the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post too?
