I am wanting to put my forum with a category like Vbulletin forum, see picture this image in blue surrounding the category vBulletin 3.8 on my forum has not, as I do for places - it?



My forum:


Thanks.

You will need to post a link to your site. vB is running vB4 and you are running vB3 AND your style is customized. The only way for us to figure out how you would change the category color would be if you post a link to your page.

See:

Is vbulletin 3.8.4

Thanks

So you want to make it so all the items that are currently listed as sub-forums are now each a separate line with a last post and all like here? Try changing things in AdminCP > Settings > Options > forum listing display options > depth of forums - increase that by 1 and then for Depth of Sub-Forums, set that to 0 to not show that listing of sub-forums.

You missed friend, the subsforuns are ok, I want to put that stripe surrounding the forum, could the site is surrounded by http://www.skyscrapercity.com/ gradient_tcat.gif in their forums, as well as in the World forum Forums List in the image.

See my forums are not involved in bar styles of images sent to the forum as above.


Thanks.

World Forums in the first image is a Category. Firmwares is a forum. This is set in Forum Manager > edit forum > Act as Forum - set to No to be a Category and Yes to be a Forum. I would suggest trying this out on your test site first.

If you need to leave the forums as forums instead of changing them to categories, then you are going to have to edit your template quite a bit. Right now the forum name and all the sub-forums are in a single column, so you can't color the background of the column. And, it isn't in it's own div, so you can't color the background of the div. So, you'll have to modify it to probably put it in it's own row and the sub-forums in a separate row so that you may color the background for just the forum row.

If I put the firmware forum as a category, make sure that everything will mix with the sub - forums, I just want to stick with the firmware category blue background, not the sub - forums, as I have to change the template?

I believe so, yes. You have a customized template, so I can't be positive, but looking at the page source makes me think you will need to modify your template.

Can you give me the values? An original templat Vbulletin is the same way that you sampled in the image? The function "Tcat" involves the sub-forum and forum when I placed as a category, I want the forum that involves only the " tcat "or the " thead ", how do I put the " thead" involving the forum ? Is it a modd I'm using that making the td tag tcat class also involves the sub-forum?

Let me know how to edit this template and its values.

[Lynne]

If you need help modifying templates or code, you need to post over on vbulletin.org, the modification site.

Then this original templat anyway Subforums mixed with the option of Cathead is not a modd I installed it doing this?

[Lynne]

I don't know if it's a mod. You can look over on vbulletin.org and see if you can find it.

I would strongly suggest keeping a copy of all mods you install. You never know when you may need a copy of one of them and it suddenly isn't available because it's in the graveyard or similar.
