How to Edit Boards and Categories Look

[olilibob]

I will want to Edit the boards and categories of my forum and make it look like the screenshot below instead of the normal default style. Please how can i do this?

Might be best to register on their forum (Beware-Adult stuff) and asking them, because I believe that's all been custom coded.

Although, they MIGHT have used a portal and created a block, for that. I can't see a portal copyright, there, though.

Yes i heard it was coded but the owner and another forum owner who also customized smf like that has refused to give tutorial on it, i do not know why though so thats why i came here for help. The design makes it easier for people to go through boards

If you create a "Top Boards" block, in Simple Portal, you can set that to show ALL boards, if you want. Just set the "Boards to Display:" number to the total number of boards that you have.

I suspect other portals could do the same.

I believe that'd do what you want.

Its not that hard actually. BoardIndex.template.php file is all you need. Attached file is from default theme, and does something you need (but incomplete) - it will give you some idea how-to do it.

Don't use cPanel. Download Filezila and access the public_html folder from there.

Why is this look so popular in Nigerian forums?

Because it is simpler to locate boards and their categories

i got this from a research and would like to know if what i plan to achieve can be done that way?

1. Created a link module listing all the boards at the top below the menus on this forum.
To archive this, you will need to create a HTML portal block in your ADK potal, at the (TOP column), In this portal block you will simply link up you board using HTML tag <a href=""></a> for example
Code: [Select]

<a href="www.yoursite.com/forum/board1">News</a>
<a href="www.yoursite.com/forum/board2">Sports</a>
<a href="www.yoursite.com/forum/board3">Love</a>
