Templates!

forumdisplaybit and (I think) forumdisplay_threadslist

You just need to remove the <td>...</td>'s to the left of the title cell.

you wouldn't know the exact lines to remove as knowing me I could screw this up. am interested only in the thread icon column now (the one in between the thread title and the folder icon column)

ta Ed

you pointed me in the right direction, i've sorted it now - i did however have to adjust a colspan attribute

Hi what changes you made to the colspan ? Thx.

I made the necessary changes to the two templates mentioned above (forumdisplaybit [pulling the td tags for the posticon column] and forumdisplaybit_threadslist [adjusting the colspan for the "thread" heading to 2 instead of 3]) and all is fine except for the announcement at the top of my board. It still stretches out the table one extra column. Do I need to edit the announcement template?

Nevermind, I got it. I had to edit the announcement template as well. Took out an extra td tag.

Adjusting the titles column width?

Yetdog's detailed notes have been very helpful. I have removed both of the left colums, per the original question--therefore I set colspan="1" in _threadslist---and for some reason this does not leave an extra colum or (I suppose) an extra <td> in _announcements. Anyway, it works!

Question: Can someone suggest an html code, and where to place it, to set a fixed COLUMN WIDTH in pixels for the titles column? I have tried several things and can't seem to get it. If anyone has any ideas, just give me a guess please and I'll try it out... (My HTML is not so good, so even the most obvious advice might be the answer...)

General notes: I also am trying without success to change the order of the columns. This is not critical, but I do believe "number of replies" should be right next to the titles--especially if you remove the "hot topics" column as we seem to plan here. Actually I think the "number of replies" is more meaningful 90% of the time than "hot topics" and also "ratings" and also everything else combined. The only other feature that is of much value is "thread starter"---and I am hoping to include that in the title, instead of in a separate column... Anyone else working on these things? Please let me know how it goes. Thank you.

Just place a

width="[i]XX[/i]"

in whichever <td> you're trying to edit.

Aha! Eureka! width="200" goes right next to colspan="1" in the forumdisplay_threadslist.

I had tried width="x" before---but I was doing it in the wrong place. I had tried just before where it already says width=100% (refers to something else evidently)---also tried in the displaybits template---and etc---all failures.

Well, now that I knew I probably had the right code---it was just a matter of "not giving up"... Thanks, Billabong.
