forumdisplay template customization

[John Lester]

Howdy folks

Ok I'm trying to customize my forumdisplay template. I have done almost everything that I want to do, except for the following. I want to rearrange the bottom "boxes".

#1 Separate "icon legend" and "forum rules" so the are on separate lines and are full width like "forum info".

#2 Move "forum information and options" under "forum rules" This one isn't a must have, I can live with it being on top of the legend and forum rules.

I can get "forum rules" under "icon legend" by adding a line break, but that doesn't make either one full width.

When I move the "forum information" div it screws everything up. I'm think it's a nesting snafu but after 2 hours I can't seem to figure it out

Also I have tried moving "forum rules" above "forum info" and that screwed up the page as well, and I'm not really sure why.

Now technically I'm doing this on a custom style (one of the whirlwinds) however the code for forumdisplay template is a match to vb's default.

Ok how about just redefining the size of the icon legend div and the forum rules div?

You can do it by add something to the additional.css template - but I don't know what CSS you'd need. I tried this:

.forum_info .options_block, .thread_info .options_block, .forum_info .options_block2, .thread_info .options_block2 {
    width: 100%;
}

and it seems like a start, but I only know simple CSS so I don't know how to fix it all.

Thanks kh99

It is indeed a start, and the vanilla CSS is a bit more detailed (asked on vbulletin.com as well) so I'll fiddle around for awhile and hope I can get the results I am looking for
