Horizontal forumhome statusicons

Hi peeps

Heres a very small modification that changes the (statusicons) (new post, no new post and forum lock)
thats vertical at the bottom of the forumhome and changes them to horizontal, this to me tidies up the
bottom of the forum a tad (removes a gap)

Hope you find it useful, i do

Ps. (go easy on me, tis mt 1st hack on my own):banana:

Instructions

In your forumhone template find this code (near the bottom)

        <tr>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
        </tr>

and replace with this

        <tr>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
        </tr>

Or replace with this code to show with the nice box like mine

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%">
<tr valign="bottom">
    <td><table class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="center" colspan="6">Status Icons</td>
</tr>
<tr  class="alt1">
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
        </tr>
</table>
    </td>

Please click install if you use this
I will try and help if you need it but i am still very much a novice

OMG, that box worked wonders but it's still to the left, lol

how can I use the box and also have it centered... where would I put the align text?

[peterska2]

in the table line of the code add align="center" and it will center it.

also try changing the class="tbody" to class="alt1" and it should blend better.

[kurtbarker]

well, we're getting there to say the least, lol

would you mind have a look please?

down the bottom, I don't think the center function is really centering, lol... could it be center between the left column and the logout text?

and if so, any way to fix?

thanks again

[peterska2]

It's centered nicely for logged out, but if you want me to have a look in more detail, please PM me a test login for your site (ACP if you wish me to fix while I'm there).

I'm just on my way to bed, so I'll pick it up tomorrow and have another look at it for you.

I have installed this and tried to center it, but I think I am not doing it right.
I used the

<tr align="center">

at the beginning of code Bashy gave, do I need to put something on the end of it with "/" ?

[peterska2]

try adding align="center" to the row above that in your forum home template.

[bashy]

Thanks peterska for helping

I have managed to center mine but only with a <center> after the 1st <tr>
and a </center> before the last </tr> its prob the wrong way to do it..but this is how i do all my centering

[kurtbarker]

I combined peterska2's box code with her center code:

<table class="tborder" border="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="center" colspan="6">Status Icons</td>
</tr>
<tr  class="alt1">
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
            <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
            <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
        </tr>
</table>

It works wonders
