Combining "posts" and "topics" count..[mod hunt]
« on: July 15, 2012, 12:57:57 PM »
I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but for the life of me I cannot locate a mod I really enjoyed on here and the search results are coming up with things entirely unrelated!
There was a modification that combined the board counts which, in my opinion, looks very tidy. If anyone knows the link to it, or would be willing to help me in replicating the feature, I'd be most grateful.

What it did was this. Here is the topic/post count without,


And here it is with the mod in effect,

Are the two images reversed? Because looking here on SMF's board index, I see the second image reflective here.

I'm sorry, I don't understand?

The first is an example of a board without the mod in effect, the second is what the mod does.

Oh! I see what you're talking about.
No, a clean install looks like the first image. Or they have on all my forums, I'm trying to figure out how to get the second image's look.

OK, found this mod:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2535
It does the opposite of what you're asking for. Your first image is the mod applied, the second is what 2.0.2 looks like out of the box.

Or maybe it's just the theme has a custom template that overrides the default...?

Ah yeah, that's also a possibility considering the colors used in both images. :) A clean install doesn't include themes with those colors though.

I think Arantor might be right... I've actually never paid attention to the main layout as the very first thing I do is change it, but I definitely plugged something in to get the combined look. They've always been separate for me.

Okay, so Arantor was correct.
And yet I still had to insert something to get the combined look? I suppose what I'm asking then, is how to reverse it to a stacked position.

One option is to delete the BoardIndex.template.php file from the custom theme's folder. That will then make the theme use the default one which has the look you are after. If there's any other difference between the custom theme's version, you could consider editing it to make the custom one work like the default in that specific area.

Yeah, it'll do. A small adjustment to the stat bar's width and it looks alright..
I suppose I'm still thrown off over the fact I definitely remember installing something to get the look. Oh well.
