Extra Table in Whats Going On block on Index

[Caiman]

Hi

I want to add an extra table in the 'Whats going on' block.. so I can throw some small graphic links in there. I'd like the extra table beneath the part where it displays which users are online... which file would I edit? thanks!

Go to your:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Forum Home Templates -> FORUMHOME

Find this code and add the red code:

<!-- what's going on box -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="2">$vbphrase[whats_going_on]</td>
	</tr>
</thead>
<if condition="$show['loggedinusers']">
<!-- logged-in users -->
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_activeusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<a href="online.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[currently_active_users]</a>: $totalonline (<phrase 1="$numberregistered" 2="$numberguest">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers]">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2"><a href="online.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_whos_online]" border="0" /></a></td>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%">
			<div class="smallfont">
				<div style="white-space: nowrap"><phrase 1="$recordusers" 2="$recorddate" 3="$recordtime">$vbphrase[most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z]</phrase></div>
				<div>$activeusers</div>
			</div>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end logged-in users -->
</if>


<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			TITLE OF BLOCK
		</td>
	</tr>

	<tr>
		<td class="alt1" colspan="2" width="100%">
			<div class="smallfont">
				YOUR SMALL GRAPHIC LINKS
			</div>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>


<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_stats')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_stats" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_stats].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_statistics]</phrase>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_stats" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_stats]">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/stats.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_statistics]</phrase>" border="0" /></td>
		<td class="alt1">
		<div class="smallfont">
			<div>$vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads, $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts, $vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers</div>
			<div><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div>
		</div>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>

That should work.

Open the forumhome template, find this code:

</tbody>
<!-- end logged-in users -->
</if>

and below it, on a new line, add this code:

<!-- Start Your Custom Table! -->
<tbody>
 <tr>
  <td class="thead" colspan="2">
   Your custom table title.
  </td>
 </tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
 <tr>
  <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/custom.gif" border="0" /></a></td>
  <td class="alt1" width="100%">
   <div class="smallfont">
	Throw your images in here!
   </div>
  </td>
 </tr>
</tbody>
<!-- End Your Custom Table! -->

Set your own title, code, images, etc.
