How to edit ...

[NIAB]

Which file do I find to edit the cat_bar shown in this picture..



I've managed to find it for other profile pages, just cant find it for post history

[Arantor]

Profile.template.php

Code Select Expand

function template_showPosts()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $modSettings, $txt;

echo '
<div class="cat_bar">
<h3 class="catbg">
', (!isset($context['attachments']) && empty($context['is_topics']) ? $txt['showMessages'] : (!empty($context['is_topics']) ? $txt['showTopics'] : $txt['showAttachments'])), ' - ', $context['member']['name'], '
</h3>
</div>
<div class="pagesection">
<span>', $txt['pages'], ': ', $context['page_index'], '</span>
</div>';

But note that the same code handles Show Posts, Show Topics, and Show Attachments cat_bars.

[NIAB]

That section of code wasn't there, so I added it and the result happened.

[Arantor]

I plucked that straight from an unmodified 2.0.5 install starting line 330. I have no idea what the heck you've done to your code.

[NIAB]

lol, Im not sure either. It only shows on that one page... it baffles me.

I'll keep snooping though, I normally find out what I need - or in this case; what ive done

[NIAB]

I'm using 2.0.4 SMF, any chance it's in another place?

What theme are you using?
Does it have it's own copy of that file?

[NIAB]

Using my own theme design. It uses the Profile.template.php from the default theme folder

[NIAB]

This is my showPosts Template

Code Select Expand

function template_showPosts()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $modSettings, $txt;

// Button shortcuts
$quote_button = create_button('quote.gif', 'reply_quote', 'quote', 'align="middle"');
$reply_button = create_button('reply_sm.gif', 'reply', 'reply', 'align="middle"');
$remove_button = create_button('delete.gif', 'remove_message', 'remove', 'align="middle"');
$notify_button = create_button('notify_sm.gif', 'notify_replies', 'notify', 'align="middle"');

// Are we displaying posts or attachments?
if (!isset($context['attachments']))
{
// For every post to be displayed, give it its own div, and show the important details of the post.
foreach ($context['posts'] as $post)
{
echo'
<div class="custom_borderframe"><div class="custom_borderoutline"><div class="custom_bordercolor"><div class="custom_borderbackground" style="padding:2px;">';

Now where does it have catbg for  "Show Posts"

[Burke ♞ Knight]

If have own theme, it usually would be better to copy any files you wish to edit, from the default to your custom theme, so you would have the default to revert to if mess up. That is what I always do, and recommend.

Also:

Always be sure to back up any files before you edit them.

[Arantor]

Like I said, I have no idea what the heck you've done to your file, because the 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 profile templates are identical.

[NIAB]

Found it.. Not sure why this is there

// Handy shortcut.
$tab_context = &$menu_context['tab_data'];

In Generic Menu template... handy? :/

[Arantor]

Ah, yes, I forgot there are two cat-bars in the show posts area, I pointed you to the one you can actually safely change. The other one you probably shouldn't because it affects everywhere with the generic menu, which is the profile, the PM area, the moderation panel and the admin panel.

[NIAB]

Yeah I know, I've only modified what I need and left what doesn't need changes (Currently)

[Arantor]

And does it work *everywhere* the generic template works? That's the danger of touching the generic template - it can so easily break things.

Oh, and you should also see what happens if you switch to sidebar mode too. You may not like the result either.

[NIAB]

I've removed the ability to switch the sidebar around. Was a pain making small tweaks to everything just to accommodate its functionality. And it works everywhere

[Arantor]

You even went as far as 1) removing the option from the profile template and 2) will be ensuring that users don't have a latent setting in their preferences? It's not just the << and >> buttons you need to watch out for.

[NIAB]

It's still there, just for admins though. So if  I want to re-enable it later there wont be too much trouble. The main issue with it is that the boxes I use around everything kind of mess up their width and layout. So for now it isn't needed.

[Arantor]

Actually it is still possible for non admins to set it but I doubt your users would know how.
