MyBB Community Forums

ok, things this page will not do:

it will not use the sorting urls; you cannot do the inline edit on the thread title; there is no moderation option......

IF that is ok, then assuming you went for my three template solution in the post I linked you to then this is the newposts_latestthreads_thread template:

<tr tr:hover td {background-color:#000;}>
     <td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}{$thread_type_class}" width="2%"></td>
     <td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}{$thread_type_class}" width="2%">{$icon}</td>
     <td class="{$bgcolor}" onclick="window.location.href='showthread.php?tid={$thread['tid']}';" style="cursor: pointer;">
         <div>
             <span>{$thread['threadprefix']}<a href="{$thread['threadlink']}">{$thread['subject']}</a>{$thread['forumname']}</span>
             <div class="author smalltext">{$thread['profilelink']}</div>
         </div>
     </td>
     <td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}"><a href="javascript:MyBB.whoPosted({$thread['tid']});">{$thread['replies']}</a></td>
     <td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}">{$thread['views']}</td>
     {$rating}
     <td class="{$bgcolor}{$thread_type_class}" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: right;">
         <span class="lastpost smalltext">{$lastpostdate} {$lastposttime}<br />
         <a href="{$thread['lastpostlink']}">{$lang->lastpost}</a>: {$lastposterlink}</span>
     </td>
 {$modbit}
 </tr>

and this is the newposts_latestthreads template

<div class="float_left">
     {$multipage}
 </div>

 <table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder" style="clear: both;">
     <tr>
         <td class="thead" colspan="{$colspan}">
             <div>
                 <strong>{$foruminfo['name']}</strong>
             </div>
         </td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
         <td class="tcat" colspan="3" width="66%"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->thread} / {$lang->author}</strong></span></td>
         <td class="tcat" align="center" width="7%"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->replies}</strong></span></td>
         <td class="tcat" align="center" width="7%"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->views}</strong></span></td>
         {$ratingcol}
         <td class="tcat" align="right" width="20%"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->lastpost}</strong></span></td>
     </tr>
         {$threadlist}
 </table>

Try that. I think the icon will not work on a first try, but I am not gonna chase after that if this is not what you want. If it is then I will. Let me know.

It doesn't appear to have worked properly, it's a bit of a mess similar to what it looked like when I gave this a go myself.

http://thetflforum.co.uk.previewdns.com/...wposts.php

You should be able to access that page with the test account provided previously.

I sort of hoped you would have tested it on development. (XAMPP)

Additionally, no offence, but your board is slow as treacle for me (I have a slow internet) and I don't want to sort through billions of PMs looking for the login.

Please provide a screenshot.

I have disabled the maintenance mode for the time being so login is not required for viewing.

Ok,

try this in the newposts_latestthreads_thread

<tr tr:hover td {background-color:#000;}>
     <td align="center" class="trow1" width="2%"></td>
     <td align="center" class="trow1" width="2%">{$icon}</td>
     <td class="trow1" onclick="window.location.href='showthread.php?tid={$thread['tid']}';" style="cursor: pointer;">
         <div>
             <span>{$thread['threadprefix']}<a href="{$thread['threadlink']}">{$thread['subject']}</a></span>{$thread['forumname']}
             <div class="author smalltext">{$thread['profilelink']}</div>
         </div>
     </td>
     <td align="center" class="trow1"><a href="javascript:MyBB.whoPosted({$thread['tid']});">{$thread['replies']}</a></td>
     <td align="center" class="trow1">{$thread['views']}</td>
     {$rating}
     <td class="trow1" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: right;">
         <span class="lastpost smalltext">{$lastpostdate} {$lastposttime}<br />
         <a href="{$thread['lastpostlink']}">Last post</a>: {$lastposterlink}</span>
     </td>
 {$modbit}
 </tr>

and in the newposts_latestthreads replace the lang -> bits with hardcoded values.

Getting there, just seems as if it's the icons that aren't working plus the forum name formatting doesn't appear to be showing correctly. I will make a thread using a thread icon now to test if that works fine:

http://kyleswebspace2.yolasite.com/resou...tserr2.png

That forum name formatting is coming from somewhere else - if you look in the template the forum name is just being printed out. What you can do is just take the forum name variable out.

I also said the icons probably would not work yet, that is code, so I will look at that - the LOOKS - that is css etc and that is your department

I put the forum name formatting in, I'm not looking to now just take it out. It displays fine on the index page so surely there's a way for it to also display correctly on the new posts page. Also I can confirm that post icons also do not display on this page.

Kyle - I know the icons are not showing. Stop telling me.

You can see it is only doing it on the "lines" - so how did you do that on the index page in the forum bits? Apply that styling around forumname variable and see if that works.

<span style="color:#ff0000;">Central Line</span>

On the index page that shows up as Central Line, I can't put this outside of the variables as they are different for different forums. I can't work out why on this page the whole code is showing as opposed to doing it's purpose.
