How can I move and Remove Forum, threads, post, last post.

[SS Unknown]

I want to take that row with the Forum, threads, post, last post and move it to the top of the category name row. And I only want it to appear once at the very top. I'm starting to figure out some of the stuff it's just taking me a bit. It being my first attempt I epect it to take me a little while with many mistakes so please bare with me. But if people like it when it's done hopefully it can be put up as a template. BTW the orange template example shown below is just an example. It's not how my template is going to look in the end as I plan to keep the red and blue theme for the forums then add to it with the banner and darker areas.

Here are my examples.

What I am working on is here

Example is here

Also if possible how can i move where it says no posts to the center. And also how can I make those rows that say General, Entertainment, etc. How can I make that row just a little smaller so it's not so big.

Thank you very much.


Oh here is a small version of what I am working on trying to get to.

The phpbb stuff won't be there of course but as I said i originally was trying to work with that. So far this is much better to work with I can say that much.

A way to delete the space in between categories would also be nice but i think it should still look ok without it.

well the easiest way now, is to remove all the table's subheader

in template manager> forumbit template > forumbit_depth1_cat

find

<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="35">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="tcat" width="59%"><strong>$lang->forumbit_forum</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="65" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><strong>$lang->forumbit_threads</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="65" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><strong>$lang->forumbit_posts</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="200" align="center"><strong>$lang->forumbit_lastpost</strong></td>
</tr>

and remove it



then in index template, find $forums and add that code above it

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="$theme[borderwidth]" cellpadding="$theme[tablespace]" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="35">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="tcat" width="59%"><strong>$lang->forumbit_forum</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="65" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><strong>$lang->forumbit_threads</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="65" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><strong>$lang->forumbit_posts</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="200" align="center"><strong>$lang->forumbit_lastpost</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you just got home for work so will test it out now. Yay it's working perfectly and even teaching me about the postbit stuff. Thanks a bunch.

oh one more thing, deleting the gaps between the categories

in Admin CP > Templates > Modify / delete > expand > forumbit templates > forumbit_depth1_cat

at the bottom u will find <br /> remove it

@EuroBEAT, well not much but i see from the codes that it works

regards

[SS Unknown]

Thank you very much, haven't tried the gaps yet but the other stuff is working wonderful and learning a bit about the postbit on the way. Had to learn to change the sizes of the tables took me a minute but is actually easy once you get started and find the right stuff.

Edit, I removed the br code but it didn't change anything. Is there any padding or anything or another line I need to remove from another file? I'm trying to find one while i go.



NM I found it it was in one of the forum bit templates I may have accidentally pasted it there.

[zaher1988]

no sorry i was mistaken this time it is forumbit_depth1_cat !! grr having 20 things to do the same time mess the mind up i'll fix my post for later visitors !

One more thing and I will try and leave alone for a little while. And thanks much for the help by the way. Anyway, i can't figure out how to change the font size of where it says Never and 0 and 0 under post count, last post and such. I got pretty much everything else but can't find that.

[zaher1988]

well in case you wanna change the text in the whole row including the forum's name, this will be done throught the theme manager > Alternative row 1 and 2.in case you only want the last post and the threads and posts count on that row.
then this will be done throught the template manager > forumbit templates > forumbit_depth2_forum

<td class="$bgcolor" valign="top" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">$threads</td>
<td class="$bgcolor" valign="top" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">$posts</td>
<td class="$bgcolor" valign="top" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">$lastpost</td>

but a usual <font size="x" > </font> and in between the $lastpost or $posts etc..
