Forum Home Overview
Open the 'Forum Home Templates > FORUMHOME' template, we only need to edit the area between the <!-- main --> tags. Here's the default code:
HTML Code:
<!-- main --> <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> <thead> <if condition="$show['guest']"> <!-- guest welcome message --> <tr> <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"> <phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase> </td> </tr> <!-- / guest welcome message --> </if> <tr align="center"> <td class="thead"> </td> <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td> <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td> <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td> <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td> <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"> <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td> </if> </tr> </thead> $forumbits <tbody> <tr> <td class="tfoot" align="center" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><div class="smallfont"><strong> <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a> <if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']"> <a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></if> </strong></div></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> $forumhome_markread_script <!-- /main -->
The above code contains:
- The guest welcome header.
- The 'forum, last post, threads, post' area.
- The category and forums rows ($forumbits).
- The 'mark forums read' and 'view forum leaders' links.
Forum Home Changes
What has to be changed:
- Guest welcome header should have it's own table.
- Delete the 'forum, last post, threads, post' area.
- Bottom links need their own div
Forum Home Result
Here's the final code:
HTML Code:
<!-- main --> <if condition="$show['guest']"> <!-- guest welcome message --> <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"> <phrase 1="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" 2="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <!-- / guest welcome message --> </if> $forumbits <div class="tborder" style="padding: $stylevar[cellspacing]px;"> <div class="tfoot smallfont" style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; padding: $stylevar[cellpadding]px;"> <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a> <if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']"> <a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></if> </div></div> $forumhome_markread_script <!-- /main -->
Forum Bit Overview
Now, open the 'Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost' template. This is the default code:
