This mod offers a change from the standard SMF way of showing the latest post in each board on the board index.

Changes:

Last post by XXXX XXXX
in Re: XXXX XXXX XXXX...
on XXXXXXXXX XX, XXXX, XX:XX:XX XX

to the picture shown to the right.

Can you specify the changes that are made to the theme boardindextemplate.php?

I'm using the Amber theme, so, when I try to execute the mod, it gives me an error (since it's set up to work with the default theme).

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for writing back so fast! For some reason, it didn't alert me a reply had been posted...

Anyways - I don't have EXACTLY what you have listed here...let me list the specific text I have for those two areas:


// Show some basic information about the number of posts, etc.
            echo '
      </td>
      <td class="windowbg" valign="middle" align="center" style="width: 12ex;"><span class="smalltext">
         ', $board['posts'], ' ', $txt[21], ' ', $txt['smf88'], '<br />
         ', $board['topics'], ' ', $txt[330], '
      </span></td>
      <td class="windowbg021" valign="middle" width="22%"><span class="smalltext">';




/* The board's and children's 'last_post's have:
               time, timestamp (a number that represents the time.), id (of the post), topic (topic id.),
               link, href, subject, start (where they should go for the first unread post.),
               and member. (which has id, name, link, href, username in it.) */
            if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
               echo '
         ', $txt[22], ' ', $txt[30], ' ', $board['last_post']['time'], '<br />
         ', $txt['smf88'], ' ', $board['last_post']['link'], ' ', $txt[525], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'];


When I replace those exactly with your text, I get an error message.

Thanks!

No idea why the second change doesn't actually change anything.. I will change that as soon as I get back on.

Here is the BoardIndex.template.php page for you, I have made the modification and tried it:

Hello,

I probably have other mods affecting my boardindex.template.php page however...I should probably have copied the whole page...

Do your changes affect more than just those two areas I pulled out? If they don't, I can go to just those changes.

I can't simply copy/paste what you have here, because there are a number of other mods represented on my index page, I'm sure...

Thanks again!

Chris

Just paste this over the old one:

Code Select Expand


            /* The board's and children's 'last_post's have:
               time, timestamp (a number that represents the time.), id (of the post), topic (topic id.),
               link, href, subject, start (where they should go for the first unread post.),
               and member. (which has id, name, link, href, username in it.) */
            if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))
               echo ' ', $board['last_post']['link'], '<br />
                   ', $txt[525], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'] , '<br />
                  ', $board['last_post']['time'];

            echo '</span>

(Find the first line, then paste it over everything from /* to </span>)

Hmmmm...nope...still no effect.

I'm going to paste the whole code here....

Ah it may be because you're on RC1. Should really update to 1.1.1

I've tested the changes in the Amber theme on 1.1.1 and they work fine.

[lemur21]

Well...my SMF version is 1.1.1

I think the Amber version maybe is 1.1?

But, when I look at my home page, the bottom says SMF 1.1.1

Chris

[L.G.S]

Maybe, but your theme files are older. You should update your theme.

[lemur21]

Hi LGS,

OK, I've updated the Amber theme to the newest version (1.1 Final) and my SMF is version 1.1.1 - still no effect.

Here is the complete board.index.template document, including the changes you'd recommended I make. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Please attach the file as a PHP file and I will download it and make the changes

[lemur21]

Here you go.....

Thanks!

Chris

[L.G.S]

Here you go, mod added and nothing else changed

[lemur21]

And yet, it still seems to not be working...

Here's a link to the forum:

http://www.libogroup.com/SMF/index.php

I know you've made the changes in the boardindextemplate for the amber theme.

And yet, still...it's not giving me:
