Removing Forum Information & Stats

[Former Member]

Is there a way to remove just the forum info & stats on all pages and just leave the who's online part?

[Brian]

Hi, shannt10.

The Forum Information & Statistics container only exists on the forum's homepage. You can find and edit its underlying HTML in Themes > Layout Templates > Home in your admin area if you wish to remove specific parts of it.

Okay, thank you Brian.

Also, is there a way to center the topic titles.

In the preview below I want to center Welcome to your new forum and Testing Images.

shannt10 , add this to the bottom of your CSS for that theme and see if it gives you what you're looking for:

.boards table.list>tbody>tr>td {text-align:center;}

Scott, I added it but nothing changed.

shannt10, try this instead:

.threads table.list > tbody > tr > td.main {text-align:center;}

tis ✻ bry, that didn't work either.

shannt10, I haven't forgotten about you! I spent a little bit earlier testing out css changes using chrome's inspect element feature, but nothing was working for some reason. I can see the css of mine that you've added, as well as where you've told the thread title to center. Still, it doesn't, and why is a mystery to me.

The only thing I have left to suggest is to go to admin > themes > layout templates > board > thread list (tab). Find the line:

<span class="link target">$[thread]</span>
and change it to:

<div align="center"><span class="link target">$[thread]</span></div>

shannt10, you may have some other CSS overriding. I had tested the CSS I gave you on my forum first before posting and it work, however my forum is rather bare. I use it for testing.

You might try this. I added the important that should give it precedence.
.boards table.list>tbody>tr>td {text-align:center!important;}

Scott, pardon me if I'm being rude but if I'm not mistaken, your code specifies modifying the table containers (<td>) in the board list template, but in shannt10's screenshot, he/she shows the thread list.

Ps. I poked around with Google's Chrome's inspect element on their forum specifically, and even the !important; was not having any luck centering the thread titles.

tis ✻ bry, you're not being rude, you were right, my bad, for some reason I was seeing that as the board list. *smh*

The main hurdle here is that the subject itself is contained inside a table that resides in the <td> element that makes up the Subject column.



This table doesn't span the entire width of the Subject column. Its width is determined by its inner contents, so it's only as wide as the "new" icon and thread's subject combined. So when you tell the column or any of the subject text's ancestor elements to center their text the browser is doing just that, but the subject text has nowhere to go so there's no change as illustrated in the highlighted area below.



The solution is to make the table in the Subject column use 100% width, give its column containing the "new" icon 1% width (so that both columns don't default to 50% width), then finally center align the column containing the subject.



This is some quick and dirty CSS that should work, but I would recommend editing the template to include classes in the table for maximum specificity. That way anything that gets added later isn't affected by this CSS since it's indiscriminately targeting any tables that exist in the Subject column.

.threads .main > table {
    width: 100%;
}
.threads .main > table td:first-child {
    width: 1%;
}
.threads .main > table td:last-child {
    text-align: center;
}

Thank you so much tis ✻ bry, Scott and Brian for taking the time to help me.

The code Brian posted works.

Of course it does. He's our resident code guru.
