See "Add Channel in Search" link in my signature.

Thank you

FWIW, I've applied the CSS changes from the first post on vbCloud 5.1.5 and they are successful.

Thanks for the tip.

How were you able to modify the templates in vBCloud? You can only modify templates in the download version not vBCloud.

You can't, there's no way my instructions will work for Cloud sites. You can out the CSS in but that won't actually add the forum names.

Right. That's what I was wondering.

Why doesn't this show as default? it's plain stupid to exclude the channel name on the last post modul. Its not logical at all. VB should fix this. To buy a way to fix this for 5$ is not good enough. The VB team should fix this. Can't be that hard.

Btw. I fixed this with the "== 'Search Result' || $page['title'] == 'your title on the first page'"

Thanks for the code guys. But this should be there by default!

I added the code to our forum. I double checked to make sure the css saved in css_additional, and I made the other changes copying the full code to notepad++, making the changes, and then copying it back, overwriting the original and saved. The code's all there, but nothing is showing.

Our style is a non-default style (I added it in) without a parent.

Full link to our What's New page (wrapped in code so you can visually see the full url, as it's not the default).

Here's a screenshot of a copy of our live code, showing the changes are in there.

I'm afraid I can't help with a custom style - you'd need to ask the author of the style for assistance.

[Vaskania]

The only things custom on the style are the colors and a couple hooks. Everything else is as it's created when you make a style with no parent. I guess I'll edit the default VB5 style and see if it works there. If it doesn't, I'll post back.

/edit
It doesn't show up on the default style, either. The only hook I have enabled is Glenn's Noypiscripter to show the reply options in mobile view, and an extension to show the page numbers at the top of the thread as well.

/edit 2
I see what's going on, nvm. My page title isn't Search Result, it's What's New.

Got it. Just resaved our What's New page so I could change the page title w/o changing the navbar link name.

Reviving this.

I was able to add the forum names by putting the CSS code in the CSS Editor since 5.1.5 vbCloud. But unfortunately this no longer working since 5.1.8.

I still have this in the style:

/* Today's Posts - Forum Title */
/* This bit is to allow displaying the Forum name */
/*  to each search result in Todays' Post*/
.f-title
{
font-weight: normal;
}

.topic-list-container .topic-list .topic-item .cell-topic .topic-info
{
font-size: 12px;
}

.topic-list-container .topic-list .topic-item td
{
vertical-align: middle;
}
/* Today's Posts - Forum Title */

Can anyone help make it work again?

Edit:
I know it reads the CSS changes because I also have the changes to the search box that displays properly.

Adding custom CSS is just half of the job. You also have to modify a template which is not allowed in vBCloud.

It worked before. So you mean it is now half the job. This vbCloud is starting to be very irritating.

Here's a sample screenshot:

Are you sure you are on vBCloud version and not on self-hosted version? Editing templates is not allowed ever since they started offering vBCloud. And just adding that custom CSS will not add the forum name.
