A few template requests

Great stuff - thanks once again Smangii! Just one little thing - the user's location doesn't show when they are logged out. 

That's the first two done! I know I've requested a lot of things but I'd love for the forum to look good and how I'd want it to look before launching it.

Another thing, would it be possible for the main page to look something like this? Obviously being spaced out when logged out but when logged in, where there are more pages on the navigation menu it wouldn't be as spaced out.


Additionally, I'd like to remove the board info & statistics on each board (bar the main page) and of course the date formats. Instead of what is already there, telling you how long ago the post was made I'd like something like, for example:

Today at 13:27 
Yesterday at 20:23
29-06-2014, 10:38

Also, telling you the number of the post too - looking like this for example (the layout as opposed to the skin - I have edited this slightly) - users can change the subject line when they post:



And a similar template/layout to the board one you did for me - just the last post & threads/posts swapped around, and the thread title in blue, author in black (just to differentiate). Also, if possible I'd like the reply box to look something like this: 



Not with the writing on the side but that shows what each button does. And just the layout, really.

Adding to what's on the first page, I hope people can help.

Hassaan I actually did some tests... I don't think location shows up for guests at all, it's nothing that the layout template can control, unfortunately. You can create a custom field and set it to be viewable by guests if you really need that showing.

I would have no idea how to change the time format, can't help you with that one :/
I know that you can sort of customize it in your profile > settings tab > Dates and Times

The posting/reply page can't really be changed to the extent you want it using just layout templates (if at all). PB allows you to make polls with mostly all of those features, it's just formatting slightly different but does it need to look exactly like VB? It's unique to PB's style... quite frankly if you want it to look like VB so much, you should've gotten a VB

To remove the Board Info & Statistics, you can go to Settings > Forum Settings > Info Centers, and disable it completely or choose what to enable/disable.

I am working on the board mod for the main page and the thread view with the posts, see if I can get what you are looking for.

To edit the color of the bars change the blue.
I used the same code we have on my forum to get the number of the post. The first post won't show a number because it's not technically a "reply", the number only counts on 2nd post and after.

var post = { page: location.href.match(/page=(\d+)/)?RegExp.$1-0:1, index: 0 };
