Special Board Layout

[TheNerd]

Hi guys, I'm starting a hockey forum, and I'd like the team boards to be displayed as below:



So basically that's what I'm looking for. I only need this for one category, as I want the other boards to display normally. If anybody can help me with this, that would be great. Thanks!

I can give this a try but I'm not promising anything because I'm certainly not confident about it. I'll need your forum URL where the boards and categories are already made. If the Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Board > Board List code has been changed at all from the default, please copy/paste that either here or send it to me in a PM so I have it, if it's default don't worry about it. =)

Thanks for the reply ₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪, here's the category: penaltybox.boards.net/#category-3 and the board list code, with minor changes. I just removed the Posts column, and merged the numbers into the threads column, and renamed it.

Hey ₪» ⅀ ƪ Ƒ «₪, any progress on this?

[Former Member]

Honestly I think this one might be a bit over my head. Maybe try Stinky666, @khristian, o k, or anyone else interested =)

[TheNerd]

Thanks for trying I'll wait and see if any of those three respond...

I think you might have a difficult time with this, if I'm understanding your mockup correctly. It looks like you have Category (NHL Teams) > Boards (Divisions) > Subboards (Team Names). If that's the case, you can't call specific subboard info on the main page because there's no way to do so; the most you could do would be display the most recent subboard post in any given parent board.

The only other way I can think of is to make all of those subboards into parent boards, then specify that for that category, to display the board information in a particular manner.

Kay, thanks for the info Kami. I'll try tinkering a bit more with what you said last.
