Topic Descriptions

[Horsey]

The mod works fine for me with 2.0 Gold as well..

There only one problem: If you modify a reply in the thread, the topic description disappears. If you post a completely new reply everything is OK, but if you modify that reply then the topic description disappears. We are using only this mod and the problem appears with every theme.

Question nr 2: Is there a possibility to change the colour of the line which separates the descriptions from the topic?

Thanks for this amazing mod!

your mod does not work well on my forum ... when I try to open a new topic of throw me the following ...

There was a problem loading the Themes/default/Post.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

What version of SMF was this installed for?

SMF 2.0

Well according to users above this is a clean install. Did you happen to do any manual modifications?

The installation does not place any mistakes ...
I have installed a lot of modes in addition to this ... if you can cause some errors

Hi all--

How do I change the HR color? I can see how to change the font color, but the HR color I can seem to figure.

Thanks.

As always, any insight is appreciated.

In index.css change the topicdesc CSS class (.topicdesc). It should specify a color attribute in there somewhere, simply change its value.

That's what I needed. Thank you. However....
I have  the same problem as above: when someone replies to the topic, the description disappears.

But the ones that haven't been replied to look awesome!

Not a problem, PE, but i do need to clarify my trouble: It appears as tho Horsey & I have the same problem. It seems as tho the description disappears only if the reply has been editied.

Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know guys. I have fixed the problem and ensured it was compatible with SMF 2.

[studiowi33]

Thanks PE. I've reinstalled and am now happy as a .....administrator.

This mode only works well with the default theme ... in other subjects reported an error

There is nothing I really can do to make this compatible with every theme out there.

I would love to use this mod, however, it doesn't work with the Core Theme or Core based Themes.  The issue lies in the Recent.template.php file.

I am running SMF 2.0, so if there is a solution to this, that would be great

No you don't have to make it compatible for EVERY theme, but if you could make it compatible to the Core Based theme, then it SHOULD work for other themes as well.  Since most themes are based off either the default theme or the core them, unless someone went crazy and off in left field with their personal theme.  The problem lies within the code of the Recent.template.php file.  I have tried playing with it myself to tweak it, but how you have the coding set up for the default theme... I'm not sure where to even start on that.

Eh, who knows, maybe someone with much more knowledge in PHP could fix this issue, hope so, as it would be an awesome addon to my forum.

Any safe way to get more than 25 characters?

Thanks.

There's a limit?

[studiowi33]

There's a limit?

After 25 characters, no further entry is allowed. (2.0.1, Curve variant, Prince of Darkness theme)

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" />

Could You please tell me if I would have to remove the ´ ´ before and after

Code (Remove) Select Expand

<hr class="topicdesc" />
here

Code Select Expand

. (!empty($modSettings['topic_descriptions_enable']) && $topic['description'] != "" ? '<hr class="topicdesc" /><small>' . $topic['description'] . '</small>' : '') . '
? What would that last line look like in whole?
And what to do if I would not want so much space between the topic-title and topic-description? Probably delete those ´s? Sorry I am php-noob. :/

The apostrophes stay. The final code is:

Code Select Expand

. (!empty($modSettings['topic_descriptions_enable']) && $topic['description'] != "" ? '<small>' . $topic['description'] . '</small>' : '') . '
