HELP!! How can I get a border around the forums??

[Kinetic]

Kinda like a border color for the tables in VBulletin. The option to change border color isn't in the CP, so I guess there is a hack. Can somone help??

[Kinetic]

Well can anyone help???

Do you mean the white spacing that is between the table cells?
For some reason that wasn't properly done in the script and templates, but its just simple HTML, you have to edit the templates.
This will take quite a while to do BTW, since you have to edit alot of the templates.

[thetakerfan]

also, I don't see why you posted this in the code hack, why would changing the layout be a code hack? It would be a template change.

[Mike Sullivan]

Actually, it wasn't coded in on most pages I believe. (Some have it commented out)

Anyway, to fix it you just have to go through the templates and add it.

(Oh, and moving)

Well....

I have already been able to add a border to the main page of the index.php But not the inside of the forums. So I am in trouble there. lol.

Index-forumhome template
Post listings-forumdisplay template
Threads-showthread template

those are the main ones, then you have to worry about search, memberlist, register, etc.

errrrrrr.....

Any chance that we can get support for this in an upcoming version? I personally think its makes the forums look alot more professional and it defines the cells better.

/me has only had a vb for 3 hours and is already complaining This is a real nice script in all honesty

/me boos at TechTalk now



Yeah, that was left out for some reason - and hasn't been added in since. Although I believe a couple (at least one) have it commented out.

[thetakerfan]

I think only one has it, and its commented with <--jel---> or something like that.

huh i have no idea then how i got borders on my forum... well i can't remember how i did ?

[thetakerfan]

its just simple HTML eva, you have to make the tables part of another table, which has a bgcolor, I use black, and therefore it seems like its a black border, but its not, its just that the cellspacing leaves a space between cells, and you can see the black bg from the other table through the space, thats all.

[George L]

what i meant to say was, i have borders on my vb, but i can't remember when i made those borders, and if i did or not ?

[thetakerfan]

oh, I see
you had to add them because they aren't they by default, unless I did alot of unneccessary editing

[TechTalk]

Finally finished......

Well I finally got done with the black border thing....everything from the smiles page to the main page and the standard error has the border now
