Find This

                            <div class="info">
                                $[post.thread]
                                <span class="date">$[post.date]</span>
                                {if $[post.how_posted]}
                                    <span class="post-method">via $[post.how_posted]</span>
                                {/if}
                                $[post.likes]
                            </div>

Add the blue, adjust the purple to your forums style

You will need to add the green

Adjust the padding-left:10px;, the space between the text Views and the Timestamp

Depending on the text size you have Views at you will have to adjust padding-bottom:1px; so both the text Views and the Timestamp are aligned Vertically

i dont think this op is around anymore, theres a few faults in this code i think.

you've said the padding-bottom but in the code its the padding-top, and the $[post.thread] tag has disappeared from the code but you havent said to delete it, and in my posts it show 2 of the timestamps.

dont mean to sound complainy but it works, theres just a few errors, could someone help me fix this pls.

Hi,@joecool111

Try the code below it should only show one time stamp

Thread - Post list

Go Thread > Post List

Look for

<div class="info">
$[post.thread]
<span class="date">$[post.date]</span>
{if $[post.how_posted]}
<span class="post-method">via $[post.how_posted]</span>
{/if}
$[post.likes]
</div>


And replace that with code below


<div class="info">
<span class="read" style="float: left; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #808080;">Read $[post.thread.views] Time{if $[post.thread.views] != 1}s{/if}</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Posted On</b> $[post.date]
$[post.thread]
{if $[post.how_posted]}
<span class="post-method">via $[post.how_posted]</span>
{/if}<br>$[post.likes]
</div>

Thanks Steve.
i tried to use these instructions to add Replies to my thread view which sort of worked with the exception that the pop up replies link is broken:


Here is my take on what you provided for showing views:

<class="info">
<span class="read" style="float: left; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #808080;"> Replied $[post.thread.replies] Time{if $[post.thread.replies] != 1}s{/if}. </span> <b>Posted On</b> $[post.date]
$[post.thread]
{if $[post.how_posted]}
<span class="post-method">via $[post.how_posted]</span>
{/if}<br>$[post.likes]

I get the number of replies to show but not the functional link (shown below). Any help is appreciated.

Hi jrj84105

That variable $[post.thread.replies] will not work on the POST LIST TAB or  link work on the posting page
it should just show a text number count on the post if you use the code I posted above On the POST LIST tab
All should be OK

Are you going Thread > Post List

Just tested on My Test Forum and all seems to be working OK



Steve

[jrj84105]

Thanks Steve. I didn't realize that it was showing the replies on every post in the thread and not just the post that started the thread. I think I'm probably going to have to completely change my thread list layout (I want to display the actual post that started the thread while retaining the replies function and, "New" indicator) which is way beyond my ability. So that will be a long term learning project.
