How do I add an image to the bottom of each category · **Released**: 04-30-2002

I edited the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template to add a graphic to my category header. But I don't know how or where to add a table to add a similar image to the bottom of each category (after the last forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template).

I enclosed a screenshot hoping it may help.

You can see I have an image for each category header. I'd like to add a small image beneath the last forum of each category to balance out the look. Example: beneath the forum titled Public Server Info, then beneath Ridiculous Onion, then beneath About this Site, etc.

The category header image was pretty simple. I added a table to my forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template:

PHP Code:


			
</table>

</td></tr></table><br>



<table align="center" cellpadding"0" cellspacing"0" border="0" width="96%">

<tr id="cat">

    <td align="center" height="35" width="96%" bgcolor="#606096" background="images/tus_nunscafe_forumtop2.gif" colspan="6"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont color="#FFF788"><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>

    <br><smallfont color="#FFF788">$forum[description]</smallfont></td>

</tr>

</table>



<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#555576"  width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">



<tr align="center">

  <td bgcolor="#8080A6"><smallfont>&nbsp;</smallfont></td>

  <td bgcolor="#8080A6" width="80%" align="left"><smallfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Forum</b></smallfont></td>

  <td bgcolor="#8080A6"><smallfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Posts</b></smallfont></td>

  <td bgcolor="#8080A6"><smallfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Threads</b></smallfont></td>

  <td bgcolor="#8080A6" nowrap><smallfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Last Post</b></smallfont></td>

  <td bgcolor="#8080A6" width="20%"><smallfont color="#EEEEFF"><b>Moderator</b></smallfont></td>

</tr>

But I don't know how to code the bottom table graphic so it would know when and where to place the image after the last forum of each category.

Thanks.

Killer effect, good job.

This might work, it should but I can't promise.

In both forumdisplay.php and index.php replace this code:

Code:

        } else {
          $tempext = '_nopost';
        }

with this:

Code:

        } else {
          $tempext = '_nopost';
		  if (!empty($forumbits)) {
	          eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate('forumhome_forumbit_closingtable')."\";");
		  }
        }

Now created a new template called 'forumhome_forumbit_closingtable' which will contain the bit that will be added to every "block" of forums.

Wow, thanks for the compliment and thanks for the help, Firefly.

I'll post the result.

Here's the current screenshot after the replacement code to forumdisplay.php and index.php

There is a mysterious comma between the end of the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template and the beginning of the forumhome_forumbit_closing template:

Code:

<!-- END TEMPLATE: forumhome_forumbit_level2_post -->,<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: forumhome_forumbit_closingtable -->

The comma is not present between the closing template and the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template

Code:

<!-- END TEMPLATE: forumhome_forumbit_closingtable --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost -->

This comma shows (if I were to change the color of the table) inside the thick part of the black table between the top category graphic and the rest of the nopost1 template.

I also don't understand why the new forumhome_forumbit_closingtable did not show up below the last category (Bogs' Corner).

Firefly, or anyone, can you help get me out the fine mess I've gotten myself into? I have dug myself a hole I can't get out of...

Yeehaw.

Re-apply the code from my post, I had a bug in there.

Markjpx · #6 05-02-2002, 04:26 PM

Lol, thanks Firefly.

Hmmm, I guess I did not realize it works on all of the forums, but the last group.
