I would like to make a part of ForumHome like this

[L-Mane]

I would like to make a part of ForumHome like this. I made a thread like this a year ago but was for vb 2.

That would require some significant template modifications. You would need to edit these templates:

FORUMHOME, forumhome_forumbit_*, FORUMDISPLAY

[L-Mane]

So to do this I need to start out with the forum home?

[Jake Bunce]

Yeah, the FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY templates will get the same modifications. You need to remove the Last Post, Threads, and Posts columns from those templates.

[L-Mane]

WHen I try and do this it keeps giving me parse errors.

[Jake Bunce]

Can you post the change you are making to the template? I can probably find the error.

[L-Mane]

Ok I got it working but I cannot seem to find where to remove this whole column.

Last Post
Threads Posts

[Jake Bunce]

The labels for those columns are in the FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY templates. The content is in the forumhome_forumbit_* templates.

[L-Mane]

Ok I got ride of the columns but now it looks like this with that extra space and also the Moderators are not showing.

Here is the coding for that area


<!-- 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]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- / guest welcome message -->
</if>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="675" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>

<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td width="140" class="thead">$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?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>
&nbsp; &nbsp;
<a href="showgroups.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a>
</strong></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- /main -->

This modification requires some heavy editing on the tables and layout. I recommend you post on www.vbulletintemplates.com for help with the details.
