How do I make these things?

[Mahar]

Okay. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. I want to get the exact coding so I can then tweak it. There are two things I'm not knowing how to do. I have a screenshot of what I'm talking about. The two things are numbered for ease of use.

Here is the screenshot:


1. How do I make a moderating table like that? I had it once but it stayed there even when there was no moderator. I'd like for it to not appear if there is no mod in that forum.

2. How do I make the announcements on my forum look like that? I do not like the way we have our current announcement setup. I'd love to have it changed to something Around that.

Any help would be amazing.

Bump from waking up.

Not sure on #1 but for the announcements, go to:

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) > Group Announcements > No

[Mahar]

It was already set to no.

How do yours look just now?

It always only shows the newest one still...and I want them thinner and not showing the location of the user posting them...like my first screenshot.

Also...to help out anyone else who is working on number one...I finally coded it down to the table but...it doesn't disappear if there is no mod. Here is the code:

 <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
            
            <tr>
                <td class="thead">This forum is moderated by:</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>

                <td class="alt1">
                    <div class="smallfont">
                        <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$moderator[userid]">$moderator[musername]</a>
                    </div>
                </td>
            </tr>
        
        
    </table>

I see more than one announcement. Have you set all announcements to show on all forums? If they're only posted in one forum then they won't show elsewhere.

Also...to help out anyone else who is working on number one...I finally coded it down to the table but...it doesn't disappear if there is no mod. Here is the code:

 <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
 
            <tr>
                <td class="thead">This forum is moderated by:</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
 
                <td class="alt1">
                    <div class="smallfont">
                        <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$moderator[userid]">$moderator[musername]</a>
                    </div>
                </td>
            </tr>
 
 
    </table> 

It won't disappear as you're only copying the HTML that's produced to display the box. To get it to disappear if there's no moderator, you'll need to wrap it in a conditional.

[Mahar]

You wouldn't happen to know that conditional would you?

EDIT:

Yeah...it is like that but....I don't want it to say Announcement: next to anything. I also want the location and dates removed.

Not sure on that one I'm afraid. Perhaps searchign or asking over at www.vbulletin.org will come up with something there.

Regarding the Announcement, think the template you're looking for to edit is in:

Threadbit Templates > threadbit_announcement

I'm going to take a look. You've been very helpful. Thanks a lot.

I'm editing it a little...but do you know how to make it look like number two in the screenshot?
