I still do have them seperated.

I will post some exact instructions for those wanting this tommorow.

wanting and waiting...

Thanks Bookie !!!!!!

*eagerly anticipating the arrival of the "exact instructions"* hehe

Here.

I haven't tested those instructions, so let me know how they work. Thanks.

Thanks Bookie!

For the novice (me) you might want to say which files are to be edited.

it looks like public_forum_summary.pl is the only file edited.

ewwwwww...sorry guy, some things need to be checked i think. damn...i'll take a picture of it and then just post that because i can't leave my board like this.

there's these black boxes all over the place.

if you want, i'll email you the .pl file for you to look at too but this definitely didn't work for me.

thanks for the trouble so far though...hope you keep working on it because this is in such high demand and most people don't know how to do it.

alright here's the three links to the top, middle and bottom of my main page after the hacking:

http://www.gsentertainment.net/bottom.jpg

now here's a link to my page looks without the hack:

not sure what happened but i would guess that it's just a couple smaller/minor details.

thanks for your continuous help. -dustin

I did it on my test board, seems to work fine. Don't think i'm gonna do it with my main board tho. we'll see i'm tempted just so it looks different today than it did yesterday

Hmmm, wierd.

Oh right, it is public_forum_summary.pl you need to edit.

any chance in the world of getting you to look at my file...or is that even necessary for you to figure this one out?

$Postc.= qq~
needs to be
$PostC.= qq~

And I'm getting double and triple column headers on a test board;

I rechecked the my edits but i'm a little brain dead right now. I may have edited something wrong.

That has something to do with $TBT Find it and delete it. If that deosnt work tell me.

Well, I fixed it but I hard coded the post/topics etc. since I never change them. It seems that each time it loops through the sub CategoryStrip it adds another set.

There's also an extra TD after $Mods

So what do we do to fix this problem with the extra fields because i am now getting the same thing as well. Ignore my saying about deleting the TBT thingy. You dont want to do that. I have been trying to fix this problem but it aint working.

delete $TBT?? there's six of them so i'm not sure what you mean.

also, an extra TD after $Mods??

here's the two places that i have the "$Mods" and i don't see any extra ones:

#1 $TBB


$TBT

Yes i like how the coding is changed. Less coding and it is more hard coded. But i am getting the same error has the other guy. All tables are wierd and the Moderators font for the tbale is not the correct size. I dont no why this a prob. How did you get it to work Xpert?

ok i was doing some tests and it works fine. But without the news fader. With the news fader it works like **** . So does any one no hwo to get this working with the news fader. I have been doing some tests and still now luck guys.

Those are the changes that I made. I don't know what else to share.

did you replace verything from "sub CategoryStrip" to "#end category strip"?

yes for some reason it has to be the news fader. You must add the table thingies to the news fader as well and the statistics and authority list as well if you want it to work correctly.

Yeah, I goofed. I tried to make it so it would work for those who have disabled post, topic, or moderator columns. But I don't think thats going the work.

The way I currently have it is the way XPerT has it up at the top.

i just need to know if it's possible to have seperated categories with my board?

i have the "authority hack", the "chat hack", "wol" and the "stats hack" so those would need to be sperated somehow, or i could move a couple of those to the top of the board so they would connect with each other.

i've tried all these codes and the problem still remains with the titles cloning themselves.

The best I could do is on my board right now

Anyone know how to fix this ??

My board

If you look carefully the second and last category are align well.
The first and third one are align too but not well.
And First and third are align one way and second and last are align another way.

strange

anyone willing to look at my public_forum_summary and see what's wrong. i've followed all the directions and still ahve absolutely no luck.

WASSUP!

Is this something anyone is interested in? I've done up to 8 columns but now just use 5 for forum summary and 6 for forum page. Don't mind the icons...I'm still working on it.
Forum Summary:


Forum Page:


Thanks to XPerT for giving me something to work with when I first started out.

THANKS!
PrimeTime

WASSUP!

WhiteBlade: Looks like your prob lies with either the $TBT or $TBB tag. I had that same prob but after experimenting everything aligned itself. The difference here is that I always use "table" tags in between each $TBT and $TBB instead of just "tr".

THANKS!
PrimeTime

Ok so what do I do, I didn't really understand what you said

Sorry I'm pretty new to coding

Well you al lost me....

WASSUP WHITEBLADE!

Look for this in your public_forum_summary.pl:

-----------------------
$TBB

~;

return ($PageTop);

} ## END PAGE TOP

sub CategoryStrip {

my $CategoryStrip = qq~
-----------------------

Now you should see $TBB code there...Leave it, and if it's not there then add it. Then follow XPerT's code that he sent on the previous page. It should go right under:

my $CategoryStrip = qq~.

Now after you do that scroll all the way down and delete any $TBB and $TBT you'll find until you hit:

sub Cat_Page_Bottom {
my $Bottom = qq~

Once you see that if there isn't a $TBB already then add it. Should then look like:

sub Cat_Page_Bottom {
my $Bottom = qq~
$TBB

Now see if your aligment problem goes away.

THANKS!
PrimeTime

Thanks dude I'm going to try this once I get home cause I'm at school now !!

Hope this will work !!!!!!!!

oh man, finally! it works, but instead of having the 45% that was in xpert's code, it needed to be changed to 50% so that the first two categories lined up with the last one on my page.

a couple more things: i have the "authority list", "chat", and "stats" hacks categories linked at the bottom of my last forum category. they didn't seperate at all. how would i go about seperating them. it would be good if at least the first one was seperated from the main forum and i could just have those three together.
thanks.

it's true and has been confirmed already. ubbdesign is using 6.3 right now.

It was nice when it was not so common. Me and Bookie had each done it (and maybe others) and we each did it our own way.
