Legend Box Not Showing Up

[Former Member]

My board is private so I'm not sure how I can go about posting the link privately but the problem I'm having is the legend box *not on the homepage* is not showing up. I went and resetted the board template to default and made sure in the CSS that I didn't have any codes that removes it and I also disabled all the plugins I have installed and still nothing. I just finished this theme on my test board and the legend box was showing up just fine.

This is probably not a coding problem, but we'll know for sure after you check this: Go to Admin > Settings > Forum Settings > Forum (tab) > Info Centers (option - may need to scroll down some) and see if you have those enabled (there's a dropdown and 2 Yes/No options in that section).

Lynx - The display legend box is checked. The legend shows up on the homepage but when I go into the forum to view the list of topics is when it doesn't show up. I apologize for posting in the wrong forum.

This is what I got from the board tab in the templates.

{if $[legend]}
<div class="container legend">
<div class="title-bar"><center><h2>Legend</h2></center></div>
<div class="content">
<center><table>
<tr>
{foreach $[legend]}
<td>$[legend.icon] <span>$[legend.name]</span></td>
{/foreach}
</tr>
</table></center>
</div>
</div>
{/if}
{/if}

I said it probably wasn't a coding issue - but I could very well be wrong on that. Looking at the code snippet you posted, it matches what I see in a vanilla theme. Unfortunately, since your forum is private, I'm not sure what could be wrong. All I would be doing from here would simply be guesswork - and there's no guarantee that any guesses I made would even come close to the issue. Sorry.

Hi @coffeelover

The <center></center> you've added don't seem to be a problem. You're missing the opening line in that section:
{if $[thread_count] > 0}
But that's just meant to suppress the legend on boards where there are no threads. So that shouldn't be a problem other than having the final {/if} displayed as text.

Make sure you don't have any comments   <!--     which aren't closed with a      -->
That would cause the remainder of the template to be ignored.

If you're still having a problem, could you copy/paste your Board template (Board tab) in its entirety?
