Aligning Number of Threads & Posts - Main Page

[Former Member]

Hello All

moviecenter.boards.net

Basically i have managed to edit every cell apart from this one.

How can i center align the text showing the number of Posts & Threads on the home page and slightly increase the spacing between them?

Thanks
Dave

Hello Dave B

Go to the stylesheet and find this:

/* Board List */
@board_names_color: @empty;
@board_names_font: 105% @default_forum_text_font_family;
@board_desc_color: @empty;
@board_desc_font: normal 90% @default_forum_text_font_family;
@board_mod_color: @empty;
@board_mod_font: 75% @default_forum_text_font_family;
@board_sub_color: @empty;
@board_sub_font: 75% @default_forum_text_font_family;
@board_align_main: left;
@board_align_threads: center;
@board_align_posts: center;
@board_align_last_post: left;

and adjust alignment to what you want.

I'm not sure you can increase the spacing between them.

Maybe a dev can, if possible, add to the spacing part of the question.

   Hi aRMY83

   It already is ..

/* Board List */
@board_names_color: @empty;
@board_names_font: bold 105% Arial;
@board_desc_color: @empty;
@board_desc_font: normal 90% @default_forum_text_font_family;
@board_mod_color: @empty;
@board_mod_font: 75% @default_forum_text_font_family;
@board_sub_color: @empty;
@board_sub_font: 75% @default_forum_text_font_family;
@board_align_main: left;
@board_align_threads: center;
@board_align_posts: center;
@board_align_last_post: center;
.boards .main { width: 62%; text-align: @board_align_main; }
.boards .threads .posts { width: 18%; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; }
.boards .latest { width: 20%; text-align: @board_align_last_post; }
.boards .main.redirect { border-right: 0px; }
.boards .main .link a { color: @board_names_color; font: @board_names_font; }
.boards .main .description { color: @board_desc_color; font: @board_desc_font; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; }
.boards .main .moderators { color: @board_mod_color; font: @board_mod_font; padding-bottom: 3px; }
.boards .main .sub-boards { color: @board_sub_color; font: @board_sub_font; }
.boards table.list { table-layout: auto; }
.boards table.list th.main { padding-left: 10px; }
.boards table.list > tbody > tr > td { padding: 5px 10px; }

    Im guessing this may not be working because ive modified the template to the below

    <tr><td>Total Threads:</td><td>{if $[total_threads] == -1}N/A{else}$[total_threads]{/if}</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Total Posts:</td><td>{if $[total_posts] == -1}N/A{else}$[total_posts]{/if}</td></tr>

    Ive even tried wrapping the code above in center tags but that doesnt work either

Hello Dave B

I was viewing what your site showed earlier and that is the input I gave.



I thought that that was surely the problem. Having said, I'm not sure what is causing that and if I may recommend, add a complete template code that has not been modified and see if that helps.

Yeah aRMY83

Ive tried a few ways of trying to get that text to center but i cant seem to target it.

The only other thing im trying to work out is how to center the board name and description for a "Redirect Board".

Maybe Brian or another mod can shed some light on the first part of the problem and as to the second part, seems that I saw a modification of some sorts way back when that did what your asking. I'll do some research on that one and if I come up with anything, I'll post/link it here.

This line isn't targeting anything since you've told it to target .posts inside of .threads which isn't an existing element.

.boards .threads .posts { width: 18%; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; }

Change it to this and it'll work.

.boards .threads { width: 18%; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; }

   Cheers Brian

   That worked perfectly.

Hello Dave B

Have you noticed that your categories are not aligned center?

I'll be honest with you, IMO, I thought everything looked great prior to the aligning of those categories.

Hello Dave B

Give this a try:

Go to the stylesheet and find this in the Board List:

@board_align_main: left;

and change to center
