View Full Version : Inserting a Divider After Categories and Their Sub-Forms

I have seperated my categories and their sub-forms as one entity. I wish to have a divider placed after these categories. The html code for the divider and the divider graphic itself have already been prepared.

I attempted to paste in my custom html following the code found in the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post but the result was the divider appearing after each subform. I assume there is a loop function that lists the subforms under the category headings in forumdisplay.php? If so, on which line in that file can I insert my code to ensure the divider is correctly positioned?

Can't you put it at the bottom of level1_nopost?

Unfortunately no. Because my forum/posts/views/moderator headings are listed seperately under each category. If I put the divider at the bottom of level1_nopost the divider would appear after each category heading rather than at the bottom of the forums listed. Basically it should look like this:

Baically that's what I want my layout to look like; with the divider graphic placed just after each category table and their subforums.

I don't know if that's possible without having one above the first category too..

Put the divider graphic at the top of the level1_nopost template

Put the divider graphic at the top of the level1_nopost template

All this does is put the divider right above the category table cell. What this means is that the divider will appear above the first forum which is what I don't want. It should appear after every other forum.

I'm somewhat perplexed by the lack of responses regarding this issue. Especially from the developers whom I paid the full $160 to for a full license and yet I cannot even get my board running because I've been stuck for days on this one particular problem. Very frustrating!

I'm sorry you feel disappointed by the support on these forums, or as you feel it, the lack thereof. :(

However I am afraid that what you want to accomplish is current just not possible without modifying the code. For that, I'm afraid I'd have to refer you to vbulletin.org, as that is not supported here. :/

The vBTeam doesn't really support template issues, and shouldn't in my eyes. Those are for you to figure out.

What Marco said is right; this isn't possible without hacking.

Look at my forums and tell me what you want it to look like in relation to them, and I will help.

I am thinking that you want it to look like them, probably without the images, from your description.

What I was trying to say at vbT was like UHN's forums. See how the bottom image is the same at the image on the bottom of the welcome thing? This is possible with template edits, but only if you have the same image at the bottom of something like that at the top of your forums.

That is what it sounds like he wants.

But I don't know if he has a top thing or wants to make one.
