Removing suboards columns from 1 board only

[Maiden]

Hi,

Could someone please help me remove the topics, posts, and last post column from the suboards in a specific board only:

solariaweyr.proboards.com/board/14/characters

Thanks

*tries to look hopeful rather than impatient*

I feel like this could be an 'if/else' accomplished thing but I don't know enough about that sort of stuff :s

So it looks like it worked but it's also applied it to all the board lists if I change the first bit to ] == 14 then it applies now where. If I just have one space (regardless of which side of the == then it eats the whole subboards bit)

Anyone know how to correctly target a single board?

Thanks

[Maiden]

and I tried it another way but not luck that way either.

If anyone even has any pointers that would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is just a quick post to point you in the right direction, but I thought there were a couple of things worth mentioning;

{if $[board.id] == X} is the correct way. Both myself and Brian in your other thread have got it working.

Now onto the id you're using - 14 is the id of the board where the sub-boards display, no? If so, you don't want to use 14.
The id you put in the {if} will be read as the individual board that's about to be displayed. If the id's of the sub-boards are 15, 16 and 17 then those are the boards you need to code in.

Unfortunately the way that the templates work, you don't have full {if} statement functionality, otherwise it would be much easier, because you could just use {if $[board.id] == 15|16|17}
However, this doesn't work for us.
What you'll need to do is something more like this;
{if $[board.id] == 15}
SOMETHING
{elseif $[board.id] == 16}
THE SAME SOMETHING
{elseif $[board.id] == 17}
THE SAME SOMETHING
{else}
THE SOMETHING FOR EVERYWHERE ELSE
{/if}


With me so far? Good.
Now, you're also adding rather a lot of code to the {if}. Not sure if this is necessarily bad, but you could cut it down a bit. I'd go through your code, but it's late and I want to go to bed soon, so I'm going to let you do the hard work. =P This bit might not make much sense, so I apologise in advance.

It would be easier, I think, to simply use the {if}'s to only change the bits that are different in your targetted sub-boards. For example, if you're getting rid of columns, you could have something like this;

<td class="description" {if thing here}colspan="3"{/if}>Board Title / Description</td>{if != thing here}<other td's go here for other boards>{/if}

See where I'm going with that? It's a little odd to read, I know. >_<

That might help a little though, but it will require a fair amount of trial and error, if your efforts are anything like mine. xD

Hi pawl

Thank you for this, it really does help my learning! The last bit does make sense as well, because duplicating the whole lot felt like a particularly gross was to do it.

For this particular problem Brian provided this solution.

<style type="text/css">
.container.boards .icon,
.container.boards .threads,
.container.boards .posts,
.container.boards .latest { display: none; }
</style>

Which got me here solariaweyr.proboards.com/board/14/characters ('cause I put .icon back in.... now to work out width....)

But I shall take your pointers on to try and tackle my next problem
