[Tweak] Baseline Signature

Author: Xiphoid/dSHiFT

Description: This will teach you how to make it so that your signature and attachments are always aligned to the bottom of your post (see example pictures for more detail).

from looking at the code and also the results, i am just wondering...why so many table cells? there's about 6 cells in that code and i can see theoretically how it can be done with just 3 cells. post[icon], post[title] and post[message] can go in a top cell with a colspan of 2 and then, underneath on the left is post[sig] and post[editedby] and on the right can go post[report] and post[iplogged]

post[attachment] can go either with the message or with the sig but best with the message, i think to keep everything in line.

couldn't this code be optimized better? now, this is just in theory, i haven't tried it my way myself yet but i can tell you from experience the table "height" specifications are oftentimes ignored by browsers when rendering pages and can in fact cause problems in the layout. and three cells makes a world of difference when that section of code is repeated numerous times in a page.

This is fantastic, I've got it installed and it's working wonderfully well - Thank you

Is there anyway that someone could help me incorporate this into a hack I have? When I try this, my Total Time Online hack messes things up.

<td bgcolor="$post[backcolor]" width="100%" valign="top">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="85%">
<smallfont>$post[icon] <b>$post[title]</b></smallfont></td>
<td width="15%">
<p align="right"><smallfont>$onlinestatus</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2"><br>
<normalfont>$post[message]</normalfont><p>$post[attachment] </p>
<p>$post[signature]</p>
<p>$post[editedby]</p>
<!-- time online hack [ g-force2k2 ] -->
<p align="right"><smallfont><a href="report.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$post[postid]">Report this post to a moderator</a> | $post[iplogged]<br><a href='timeonline.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=view_leader'>Time Online:</a> $post[onlinetime]</smallfont></p>
<!-- time online hack [ g-force2k2 ] -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Any assistance would be greatly helped.

groovesalad, you're having a problem because the elements aren't in tables.

seperate your sig & edit info from the warning hack... put them in seperate <td>'s.
