UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Move "Today's Active Topics" to under "You are not logged in..."

Here's my board:

http://www.ehmac.ca/cgi_bin/ultimatebb.cgi

What I'd really like to do is move the "Today's Active Topic Link" which is currently right aligned above "Registered ehMac Members: xxxx", to just below the "»You are not logged in. Login or Free Register" link on the left.

I believe this is somewhere in the public_common.pl file, but I don't have a clue how to actually do this. Could someone please spell it out for me exactly how to do this? Would be most appreciative!

Thanks in advance for you help.

This is probably a lot harder than it may seem at first glance.

The header is generated by the generic_wrapper function in public_common.

The TAT link is generated in a before_navbar block...

In order to get it under the login prompt, you'd have to put it in the left_navbar block... but you'd also have to reproduce the login code, etc.

Would having it above the login link work better? If so, thet's a simple HTML change...

Thanks for the reply Charles.

My main objective is to reduce the amount of lines needed to display the following info:

- Today's Active Topics
- Registered ehMac Members
- Welcome to our newest Member
- You are not logged in / Hello User

On the right hand side of the page there are basically 4 lines taken up for the first three items mentioned above.

On the left side the "You are not logged in" message sits by itself.

Was hoping for a way to clean it up and take less space. Was thinking 2 on each side with no spaces would work good.

Or, is there a way to have them all stacked up together, all on the right hand side, and a spot for me to put the ad banner on the left? Kind of like this mockup image ?

Thanks for your help.

Do note that if the user has new PMs, there will be a message under the "Hello, Username" text, thus making it two lines.

You can turn off either the welcome to new member or the total member count to reduce that table cell to one line as well.

The breadcrumb line also serves other purposes (when in a forum, for instance), so the current placement of the banner will really break things later on...

Interesting layout change idea, though.

You may end up wanting to hard-code the HTML into the public_forum_summary template rather than use the wrapper code, though this may break things when/if you turn on or off options. (You'll also want to upgrade to the 6.7.0 release before starting any of this code hacking )

If you're planning this;

then why the changes?

That has most likely been postponed for awhile. Going to be on classic for the forseeable future.

Thanks Charles, I forgot about the PM notification thing.

Didn't realize moving those links around involved so much.
