Help with Info. Center movement...

[lextalionis]

Hey gang,

SMF 1.1.11
TP 1.0 beta 4
Theme Black Rain
Site:  http://www.motleypixel.com/forum/index.php?action=forum

First of all, there are already a few of these topics out there and I've tried moving the

Code Select Expand

// Here's where the "Info Center" starts... section of the default theme Boardindex.template.php but it's not working right.  Obviously it seems I must have moved it early in the beginning (about 4 years ago) to the top since the existing topics about this suggest people wanting to move it from the bottom to the top.

I really want to move it down to the bottom w/in the boardindex frame just above the ad.  Every time I try to move that code section w/in the file it screws things up.  Attached is the file.

Thanks for the help.

what are you trying to do exactly

[lextalionis]

Trying to move the info center which contains forum stats and users online to the bottom of the forum...screen shot attached.

Thanks,
Roy

Grab a new copy of the index.template.php for that theme, and have a look where you need to put it   

[lextalionis]

Okay thanks...had to register over on Crip Theme Support as I can't seem to find the source files to Black Rain V1.  Anyway, so I don't touch boardindex.template.php file...the edit is in the theme index.template.php?

But i think by default design of that theme info center was in the bottom, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Which version of theme are you using?

[lextalionis]

Using Black Rain V1 and yes, I do believe it was defaulted to the bottom...I managed to figure out how to put it at the top about 3.5 years ago...just forgot how to lower it back to its default bottom position.

AS far i can see that theme is not using BoardIndex.template.php, so edits have to be make in Themes\default\BoardIndex.template.php

Attach that file here.

[lextalionis]

It's attached to my OP, thanks.

[Joker™]

Try the attached file

[lextalionis]

That did the trick, thanks Joker.  I'm looking at the file now to understand where you moved it.  I'm also going to try to find where the menu tabs are declared so I can see if there's an extra <br> since it sure seems that way.  Do you think there's an extra <br> directly after the tabs?  http://www.motleypixel.com/forum/index.php?action=forum

I moved this block to bottom

Do you think there's an extra <br> directly after the tabs?  http://www.motleypixel.com/forum/index.php?action=forum

Can be padding or margin also in index.css.

Attach your index.template.php and index.css here. will reply you with the edits to make.

[lextalionis]

Cool, the black rain theme uses its own index template and the css file for black rain is called style.css and both are zipped and attached.

Thanks,
Roy

Ohh yup, as mostly work on SMF 2.0 so said index.css instead of style.css

So as i said above, that space can be remove my modifying style.css only. In that file;

Find:

Code Select Expand

#tabs6 {
position: relative;
top: -5px;
left: -48px;
width: auto;
font-size:93%;
margin: auto;
line-height:normal;
height: 44px;}

And remove

Code Select Expand

height: 44px;

Hard refresh your browser to see the change(For firefox use ctrl+f5)

[lextalionis]

Very good!  I'm getting a lot of minor needed tweaks out of the way thanks to you.  Now I just need to find where TP block css is located   I don't like how the centered Amazon affiliate banner on the top has so much padding above it...just looking to condense it more:  http://www.motleypixel.com/forum/index.php?action=forum
