You already have the CSS to create all the effects, so all you really need is the CSS selectors, they are all listed in the first post of this thread, but here the are again..

#RT-parent
The containing cell surrounding the entire sidebar.. (This only applies if you do NOT fill in the Container ID field in the plugin.

#RT-Master
As above, but also applies when sidebar is relocated.

#extra-title, #announcement-title & #recent-threads-title
The title bars of each of the cells.

#extra-cell, #announcements-cell & #recent-threads-cell
The information cells themselves.

There are also class names that cover all of the cells..

.RTTitle-Bar
This class covers ALL title bars when you select not to have them match your forum styling.

.RTCell
This class covers ALL of the information cells when you select not to have them match your forum styling.

.rtcell-spacer
The spacer cell, changing the height of this cell will change the space between the cells in the sidebar.

That should cover everything, but if you have any questions, or if I have forgotten anything, feel free to yell.

That's what it seems to be happening, and its right at the bottom (Just above the shoutbox)

So it is.. I really should open my eyes somethimes..

Nice layout by the way.

[Boy_Wonder]

Thanks xD I wanted something simpler and clean

[bellsprout]

That's an awesome layout. You really need more members

It may sound odd but while I'd love more members part of me is happy with the number I've got, just because they're active. They're posting. They're staying loyal and that's far more important to me then having 1000000 members (it'd be nice but still)

Hello,


I seem to be having problems with the truncating feature.   As in...  it's not truncating. 

I was assuming in the Maximum title length field you put in a number.   But, no matter what number I put in there, it doesn't shorten the lines.  I currently have 25 in there which I again assumed would truncate it to 25 characters.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?   LOL



Edit:  Oooops,  forgot site link.  Here it is:  spnunforgiven.proboards.com/

A thread will need to be posted in to refresh the sidebar. Otherwise it will stay the same. I thought this too...

[Supernatural: Unforgiven]

Aaaaaah. I see. Only threads posted AFTER updating the settings will show the change. Thanks.

[Todge]

Try version 0.1.5..

This version truncates the titles as they are added to the cell rather than when they are written to the key, meaning all previous posts will be shortened too.

Hi,  Todge. I hope you're doing well today.

My forum started experiencing this problem yesterday and I came to support for help today. My thread.

We've been getting this popup window every time we start a new thread ~





It was narrowed down to this plugin.


Hopefully, there's a fix and it's a simple one.


Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!

[Todge]

The plugin attempts to keep track of the next thread number by counting them as they are created, but because of that it can also loose count if threads are made in quick succession by different members, if the plugin is deactivated while new threads are created, or if threads are created using the mobile app.

If the cause of the pop-up is one of those reasons, then there's nothing I can do I'm afraid.. New thread numbers are not available until after they are created, but it will be fixed as soon as there is one.

[♥ ℒʊ√ ♥]

As I posted on my other thread ~

Thank you, Todge. I can understand that. So I am going to enable it again. I'll just let the members know why it is happening. As I said, once you either dismiss it, or click ok, everything goes through as it should. So there's no damage or harm done.

I appreciate the explanation.

[Todge]

All that pop-up does is force a mouse click by the thread creator to correct thread ID in the key, once clicked everything should be good until the numbers are misaligned again due to one of the reasons I posted above.

There is a function coming that should hopefully stop that, and as soon as it's available I'll re-write the plugin to make use of it, but until then all I can do is apologise for the inconvenience.

[♥ ℒʊ√ ♥]

I know you will, Todge. I simply told my members "to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain".   

It's back all nestled comfortably in Brian's sidebar. All is well

Enjoy the remainder of your day/evening.

Todge I just tried to scroll my recent threads and it will not. I do have it in a sidebar is that the reason it is not scrolling? And if not what can I do to get it to scroll does it have to have a certain number of threads to scroll. Using latest v 01.5 Everything else is working fine.
