footer problem and another one

[Celtkin]

Hi all. I have just created a new layout for vbulletin, and implemented it 90%. The problem i have is so small, but i can't seem to find the solution, as there isn't this option in the styles editor. I need to change the footer part where you have the images with Forum Contains New Posts and Forum Contains No New Posts to a different design, where they float next to each other. Meaning that instead of being in tables, each one in a different table row, i would like to have them in 2-3 divs that each float next to each other. They have absolutely no personal class or id, so i can't manipulate them trough css.

My second problem is that i would like to use a different image for each user depending on his user group. Please see this image, as it explains better than me.

Are you trying to do this without template edits cuz you can simply edit the template and do whatever you want with those images. In the past, I had them listed next to each other instead of stacked on top of each other. I just got rid of the rows and had only columns. I think that is the only way you can do it.

I believe that the images you are seeing are Ranks. You can give Ranks for different usergroups and set them to 'stack' on top of each other like in that picture. That picture has them moved though. I think they normally show up above the avatar.

And where exactly is that in the overall structure of files?

Thanks.

You mean the template for the "Forum Contains..." stuff? it's in the FORUMHOME template.

And Ranks are listed on the left side of the Admin CP.

Hi and thank you for the reply. The first part is over. Thank you so much.
But for the second part i mean something different. For each rank i need a different background picture. FOr example admins would have a background picture under their ranks, members another image behind their rank and so on. I need to hardcode this as i haven't seen this option anywhere.
The questions is where?

Thank you so much for your help.

For Ranks, you need to make the images yourself. Then, you define which image is associated with each rank. So, if your Admins have a certain rank, they can have a different image in their postbit than a Registered User who has a similar rank since they are actually defined separately in the Ranks area.

Maybe an image of what you are after would help.
