[HowTo] [3.0.3] Add 'Forum Info' to the forums!
By: Floris - http://www.vBulletin-Fans.com/

Description: This tutorial shows you how to remove the last 3 threads/posts/moderators columns to create more space (especially handy for cluthered fixed width forums) and put the data on a single row below the forums on forumhome.

Example of how it looks: Check the screenshots, but should look like this:
Forum Info: Users viewing: 1 - Threads: x - Posts: y - Viewers: z - Moderators: a,b,c

Note: Moderators and Users viewing parts will only show if there is any data for it, so it won't display if the value is empty.

Installation instructions:

* Open the template FORUMHOME

* Find this code and delete it:

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

* Save the FORUMHOME template.

* Open the template: forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

* Find this code and delete it:

<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators]&nbsp;</div></td>
</if>

* Now find this code:

<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

* Below this, on a new line, add this code:

<div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><span class="time">$vbphrase[forum_info]:</span> <if condition="$show['browsers']"><phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase> -</if> $vbphrase[threads]: $forum[threadcount] - $vbphrase[posts]: $forum[replycount] <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"><if condition="$forum[moderators] == ''"><else />- $vbphrase[moderators]: $forum[moderators]</if></if></div>

* Save the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template

* Now goto "search phrases" and find this phrase variable name: forum_info

* Edit the phrase and change the phrase type from user tools to 'GLOBAL' from the MASTER language.

NOTE: You may need to add
$debug = '1';
to your includes/config.php file (somewhere in the middle on a new line)
(remove that line when done)

* Save the phrase

* Finally find this phrase variable name: x_viewing

* Edit the phrase and change the phrase to this: (replace total content with..)

Users viewing: {1}

* Save the phrase x_viewing and you are DONE.

i couldnt figure it out, so I just removed the vbphrase variable and inserted textg "Forum info"

btw, this does work in VB 3.5 if the author would like to update.
