Sub-Forums???

[tekguru]

Does anyone know which file one needs to edit, and maybe what to edit if one wishes to change teh way sub-forums display on the index?

I want to add in a </br> or similar so I can get each sub-forum on a seperate line instead of just being after one another.

Spent a good hour lastnight trying to work it out and failed miserably!

Actually did this on my website, http://www.witchhunters.ca/coh/index.php

Check out the news forums...

I'll take a look at what edits I made, it's actually in one of the php files which makes it difficult to find...

Open includes/functions_categories_hierarchy.php
FIND[code]                     if ($link != '') $links .= (($links != '') ? ', ' ]REPLACE WITH[code]                     if ($link != '') $links .= (($links != '') ? '<br> ' ]
Just replaced the comma with the <br> tag. Did mine a little differently to add spaces and try to line it up on the right... doesn't quite look right though...

Teelk, you are a hero! It looks a lot better on site now I've added in your change.

Any ideas how to page break immediately after the 'Subforums' title, as I think that would fix the neatness issues?

[Teelk]

Sure...

Open templates/yourtheme/index_box.tpl
FIND

Code: Select all

        <span>{catrow.forumrow.L_MODERATOR}{catrow.forumrow.MODERATORS}{catrow.forumrow.L_LINKS}{catrow.forumrow.LINKS}</span>

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

        <span>{catrow.forumrow.L_MODERATOR}{catrow.forumrow.MODERATORS}{catrow.forumrow.L_LINKS}<br>{catrow.forumrow.LINKS}</span>

Just added a <br> between the subforum language key and the subforum links.

Cheers again Teelk - just what was needed, now looks much better!

I like that look. I might just try it.

tekguru, your site loads quickly for me but yours is the second site I've noticed recently with odd page generation line...

Page generation time: 1151368550.57s (PHP: 100% | SQL: 0%)

[tmotley]

I use the BBLite theme also but replaced all of the buttons. I notice that the 'Download' button for downloading of a post has 'Dowload'...

[tekguru]

Yeah that weird page generatino time started occuring after the last upgrade. No ideas why as it only seems to affect some pages. Weird.

I'd missed that on the button - will check it out and get my designer to correct it. Cheers for he heads-up.

What's your site BTW, be interested to see what you have done with the theme.

[tmotley]

Not much since it's a site I use during the regular school year and I just put in the BBLite theme recently.

Pretty much the only modifications I've made are buttons...

Looks good though, I must admit I doi love the theme <img>

One Q, which is the block you are using for the Posts Leaders - looks pretty good!

[tmotley]

Looking in block management, it shows the block file as 'top posters' but I don't remember if that's a different one I've added or the standard one.

'Bones Leaders' is pretty much the same block only ranking on points instead of posts. For that one, I modified the 'top cash' block to look like the 'top posters' block.

[tekguru]

Cheers for that will certainly revist those!
