Hi, this was originally created for V4, but I was hoping it could be made for V5 as well? Thanks!

Hey there Dakota*,

Since v5 has a "Created by" column already on all boards by default, is this plugin necessary?

[Dakota*]

It was used before to move it so there was more space for the thread title, and only the "replies," "views," and "Last Post" were left, and it looks a little nicer. But if everyone is busy, then don't worry about it. I just liked the code because I thought it was nice, but I don't have to have it

The current "Created By" column, can be easily removed and then re-added in place so that it is not a column, and instead, it is just the words saying "Thread By: Name".
Could I have a link to your forum so I can see how you have your thread list currently, then I shall make the appropriate changes for you

(PM me the link if you wish)

Ok so all you need to do is the following..

Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Board
Line 32 you will see the following (add in the blue parts yourself):
<!--<th class="created-by">Created By</th>-->

Now click on the "Thread List" tab.
On line 17, you should see the below (again, add the blue bits like I have):
<!--<td class="created-by clickable">$[thread.created_by_user]</td>-->

Now whilst still in the "Thread List" tab, go to line 12 where you will see:
{if $[thread.pagination]}<div class="ui-micro-pagination">Pages: $[thread.pagination]</div>{/if}

Now, see where it says "div" (in 2 places). Replace those to be "span", so the above becomes the following:
{if $[thread.pagination]}<span class="ui-micro-pagination">Pages: $[thread.pagination]</span>{/if}


Create a new line below that one, and add the following:
<br />created by $[thread.created_by_user]


Click save, and voila.
Edit the blue text to be anything you like: Thread Starter. Started By. Creator. Author. etc.

That worked, the only thing is it centred all of the topic titles... Any way I can make them go back to the left?

That's strange. Let me go have a play with it, and see


Edit:
Ok go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet
On line 875 you will see:
.threads .main { width: 55%; text-align: @thread_align_subject; }


Change the bold bit to be higher. WHatever you have it set for the "created by" (line 876), add that on. So if your "created by" is 10%, add 10 onto the one above.

Okay, thank you!

I edited the post, go see.

[Dakota*]

I'm confused... Line 875 and 876 is:

/* Thread List */
@thread_align_subject: center;

It's lines 881 and 882

And that did not work... It made everything go to the right. Like everything So I put it back to how it was.

That's because you've customized your theme. On a brand new theme, it is on those lines.

Edit:
It worked fine for me, doing all of the above

[Dakota*]

So I have this right now:
.threads .main { width: 41%; text-align: @thread_align_subject; }
.threads .created-by { width: 14%; text-align: @thread_align_created_by; }

And you're saying to change it to this, correct?
.threads .main { width: 14%; text-align: @thread_align_subject; }
.threads .created-by { width: 14%; text-align: @thread_align_created_by; }

[Stinky666]

No noo.. ADD the bottom one ON TO the top one.
SO 41% would become 55%.
