VBBIS - VBulletin Board Index Style (Partially Hook!)

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Link to Mod

VBBIS - VBulletin Board Index Style

- For SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2.0.x
- Partially hook, minor file modification for SMF 2.0.x.

1. Please do your own backup though every installation is backed up automatically.
2. This mod allows you to imitate VBulletin Board Index Style.
3. Topics and posts will have their own column and each columns will have their own header and name.
4. You can test it in all lower version as IMO it should work just fine.
5. This mod also fixes white border in Message Index page.
6. Do report if there is any error(s).


Thank you for using/testing it.

Won't work with Project Tools without a lot of work though.

KK i'll try to make it compatible with it in next upgrade if possible.

[Joker™]

ohh ok . so dropping the idea for while as im having exams till june mid

[divecall]

I apply the mod manually with the package-parser. but i have a problem: looks like that "topics" and "post" is swapped...

can you help me ?

[divecall]

Kurios...

But i figured out myself...

[Joker™]

ohhh .. i think the topic and post text written on bar might have got swapped by me itself , let me check and update if required

[Joker™]

Sorry for inconvenience . Mod updated and the bug removed.

nice mod. But after installation i see 1 instead of xxx in number of redirects

[Joker™]

actually smf counts only the posts of board you have redirected your board to.

I'll take a look into this in a short while , will upgrade the mod soon

try the new version of mod

ye, now it shows correct numbers. But i think default SMF style for redirected boards will be better. Or some trick with the name of column - because the number of redirects is not the number of messages.

i tried that also and was successful in it also , but the problem comes if you have a normal board and a redirected board in same category , then which column name will site choose ?

           <td align="left" class="windowbg"><strong>', $txt['board'],'</strong></td>

[Joker™]

nice , i'll add it soon in package.

[Tair]

Simplified & fixed code:

Code Select Expand


// Show some basic information about the number of posts, etc.
echo '
</td>';

if ($board['is_redirect'])
echo '
<td class="windowbg" align="center" colspan="2" width="16%"><p>', $board['posts']. ' '. $txt['redirects'] , ' </p>
</td>
<td class="lastpost">';
else
echo '
<td class="windowbg" align="center" width="8%">', comma_format($board['topics']),'</td>
<td class="windowbg" align="center" width="8%">', comma_format($board['posts']),'</td>
<td class="lastpost">';
