your mode edit the same code too.. how can i make edits for your mod if i have already installed this mod...

[smartmouse]

Yes, i did but it's that the matter. The problem is that it doesn't look nice to see.
I prefer topics as showed by squad in his screenshots. Is it a problem related to SMF 2.0 that put author nickname under the topic title?

In the MessageIndex it may look nicer to you but Curve is obviously different so the description has to go somewhere? Either above or below the topic starter but thats your choice.

As for displaying it in the topic, I havnt implemented that yet. I still need to decide where I would put it.

your mod edit the same code too.. how can i make edits for your mod if i have already installed this mod...

[ascaland]

Under that if statement all you would have to put is,

Code Select Expand

echo '<dd>
<input type="text" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" class="input_text" />
</dd>';

[!RFAN]

so i cannot use this mod along with Disable Subject Change mod?

[ascaland]

Of course you can.
Just apply the fix I posted above. To make it more descriptive, follow these instructions,

Code (After) Select Expand

// Disable Subject Change Mod.
if (isset($modSettings['disableSubjectChange']))
echo ' ', $modSettings['disableSubjectChange'] ? !isset($context['num_replies']) || $context['is_first_post'] || $context['subject'] == '' || $context['user']['is_admin'] ? '' : $context['subject'] . '&nbsp;' : '', '<input type="', $modSettings['disableSubjectChange'] ? !isset($context['num_replies']) || $context['is_first_post'] || $context['user']['is_admin'] ? 'text' : 'hidden' : 'text', '" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" class="input_text" />';

Code (Add) Select Expand

echo '<dd>
<input type="text" name="subject"', $context['subject'] == '' ? '' : ' value="' . $context['subject'] . '"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" class="input_text" />
</dd>';

I don't have this problem when i click on "Show unread posts since last visit". The description and the border appear in the right way!
So, why they appear in the wrong way when i'm in the board index?

I dont know, it could be if your using a different theme or if the mod was modified. Can I have a link to your forum?

[smartmouse]

I'm using a different theme, the mod wasn't modified.
I have PMed you about the link to my forum.

Thank you.

[ascaland]

I looked at your index.css file and happened to notice CSS that was present in a very early release. I quickly re-uploaded the package with the modified CSS. Try downloading that and see if the chance makes a difference.

[smartmouse]

Now it looks better. Anyway i prefer to show first topic description and the post author.
Can you add an option that let users to choose where to put the topic description? It would be great!

PS: Your latest package give me an error on Recent.template.php file of Core theme.

[ascaland]

Yup, this is due to lame template edits. But I will post here with the change.

[smartmouse]

What kind of changes? To fix errors with Core theme or to add the option that i have requested?

[ascaland]

The option, the errors would require a manual installation.

[ascaland]

smartmouse, by any chance can you try this edit again?

Hi there!

How to remove those thin white borders above the descriptions?

I mean these:



How to change font color in the descriptions?

[razors edge]

Installed and working great, no errors. I would like to know how to remove the white bar as helike has shown above.

[ascaland]

If you guys want those lines remove, here is a quick modification in both Recent.template.php and MessageIndex.template.php,

Code (Remove) Select Expand

<hr class="topicdesc" />

Font color is something that you would add with some nice CSS. What you could actually do (this also applies to both template where a change will be needed), you can either create a CSS class in the stylesheet or you can simply just add a style attribute. For example, I will do the latter. Its quite wasy where to find this, where you deleted the hr tags, the small tag beside it is what your editting. So basically,

Code (Replace) Select Expand

<small>' . $topic['description'] . '</small>

Code (With) Select Expand

<small style="color: YOURCOLOR;">' . $topic['description'] . '</small>

And simply just change YOURCOLOR.

[helike13]

Code Select Expand

<hr class="topicdesc" />

This code is not present in any of those 2 PHPs.

Code Select Expand

<small style="color: YOURCOLOR;">' . $topic['description'] . '</small>

This is absent, too.
