my little modification to the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post & forumdisplaybit"...

my little modification to the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post & forumdisplaybit" templates...

Well... i'm new to this (ji ji ji ) like i said, it's only a little template hack, but i think you could see it as a little hack

What does? (tested in vb 2.2.8, but i think that this code work in any versions)
hmm ?__? you can see a demo at mi forums http://foros.angzone.com (see the Forum Index! ^__^u & the forumdisplay)

1- Just find the next code in "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template:

<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor }" align="left"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</b></normalfont></a>
<br><smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont></td>

now, replace width:

<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor }" onmouseover="if (typeof(this.style) != 'undefined') this.style.backgroundColor = '{ secondaltcolor }'" onmouseout="if (typeof(this.style) != 'undefined') this.style.backgroundColor = ''"
Onclick="javascript:location.href('forumdisplay.ph p?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]')" style="cursor: hand;"
align="left"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><normalfont><b>$forum[title]</a></b></normalfont>
<br><smallfont>$forum[description]</smallfont>
</td>

2- in "forumdisplaybit" template find:

<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor }" align="left" width="70%">

now, replace width:

<td bgcolor="{ firstaltcolor }" align="left" width="70%"
onmouseover="if (typeof(this.style) != 'undefined') this.style.backgroundColor = '{ secondaltcolor }'"
onmouseout="if (typeof(this.style) != 'undefined') this.style.backgroundColor = ''" onclick="window.location.href='showthread.php?s=$s ession[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]'" style="cursor: hand;">

well, see yaa

sorry but my English is not very good!

Hi buddy - i don't understand exactly what this does.

Also i would put your instructions in a text file so that vbulletin.org doesn't parse the replacements

This is a nice effect. We use something similar. Please note that this doesn't work well if your visitors like to open threads/forums in new windows.

Basicly, it makes the whole forum and topic name cells into links with mouseover color change.

Wow. I am lost here. I don’t have any files in my form directory called “forumhome_forumbit_level2_post” or “forumdisplaybit” am I missing something here? I would like to try this hack.

Oh is this hypercell tables?

[WetWired]

These are templates. You edit them in the admin CP.

Ok. I figured this out. I got everything to work but with one problem. When I load the first page of the forum gets errors. I can not click the box and get it to go into the sub-forum. The link workds though. But when in the sub-forums it all works correctly. So if I am correct in my line of thinking I think it is in the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post". I will leave my homepage online if some one needs to look at it they can see what I mean www.whiteblaze.net/forum. The script I replaced refers to a java script maybe that is what is wrong. Could someone help me please.

P.S. This does not work when I click on NEW POST. Does anyone know what I change for that and what text I replace it with?

[WetWired]

Hmm. Change it so instead of java script:location.href( it uses window.location.href= (and remove the trailing ')' )

This has already been done and released a long time ago.
