Board List Modification

[isabella ?]

I apologize if this isn't the right section. I'm a little confused with all the different v5 boards. :(

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could help me with modifying the board list. Right now I'm using a template made by someone else, but it's not really what I want. My biggest problem is that I would like to have icons to the left of the board description, with the board name above it. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to code it. Or at least where to start.

I made something real quick to show you what I'd like to do - click!

I'd like to have divs/tables enclosing the different elements - board name, a 150x150 icon, last post, and sub-boards. To the right of the board name + image, I want to have the board description (justified, because it's nice like that) above the latest post and sub-boards. The second board in the image shows what I want exactly.

I think this is kind of a big request, so I would love for any help that comes my way. Thank you! :)

Oh, might as well throw in my board URL, in case it is needed. testing board

Edit - Thinking about it, I should probably mention I want a different icon for each board, and maybe the ability to not use one at all. That might be harder than simply making the layout, might be something I need a plug-in for? :/ If it is too difficult, I am willing to trash that idea.

Edit (2) - I did find a template that I like at another site, but I am still very interested in this if anyone can help!

i'm willing to sacrifice the different icon approach if it's too difficult. :]

If you are wanting to show the last post and user & date

try this

Go admin > layout Templates > Board > Board List

Under this line

<p class="description">$[board.description]</p>

add all the code below


Last Post $[board.last_thread.recent_link]
by $[board.last_thread.last_post.created_by_user]<br>
$[board.last_thread.last_post.date]<br>



it will add the last post and username & time

Thank you for the help, but I actually already have the last post where I want it thanks to a template by someone else. It's just the rest I need help with.
