Small & Random Stuff

[leo10]

Hello again! So, I made a forum last week and I've been perfecting it to my taste. Today I finished it, although there's only these small issues that I've searched both on the forum settings + here and couldn't come up with a solution. Any help would be gradly appreciated! The issues are:

Shoutbox + Smileys:
1- is it possible to limit the delete function of shouts only to the admin? I don't want members deleting other member's shouts;
2- how do I remove the asterisk edit * on shouts that have been edited?
3- probably not, but can I delete/hide the forum's original smileys? To just show the ones I uploaded on the Reply...

Timestamps & Centering:
4- how do I push the usernames a little bit to the left so it can be more centered (with the avatar)?
5- I want to remove the timestamp only on the mainpage + threads page, and center the text. How do I do it?
6- the green "New" icon that I uploaded is not centered with the titles of threads, it needs to be a little higher... is there a code for this? Also, is there a way to put it on the white nav-bar instead of the "New" button?

Font (Size):
7- is it possible to reduce the text size of the action bar? specially the "Prev"1"Next" thing;
8- the text on the Profile > Edit Profile > Personal Information is bold and I don't know why;
9- the links on my forum are a shade of blue too light. I've been in Style Editor and can't seem to find the option without it changing the boards names also. Can someone point me to it?

Again, thank you very much! I know it's a lot of small, stupid things, but it would give that final, godly touch to my forum.  I also uploaded some print-screens to see if they help.

Hi, leo10.

I've moved this to the Templates board as most of these are theme design questions and not technical support questions.


1. The delete option in the shoutbox is limited to groups that can delete posts and the author of the shout itself. Regular users cannot delete each other's shouts.

2. Remove this line from Themes > Layout Templates > Shoutbox > Individual Posts.

{if $[shoutbox_post.edited]}<span class="edited">*</span>{/if}

3. It's not possible to remove the default smileys.


4. Which usernames? Usernames appear all throughout the forum.

5. Which timestamps and which text?

6. You can use relative positioning CSS to move it up or down.

.threads .item.new .new-icon { position: relative; top: -1px; }

7. You can change the pagination font size using this in your style sheet.

.ui-pagination li > a { font-size: 13px; }

8. The headings in that section are always bold.

9. Board names can be given their own colors via Categories (Board Lists) > Names on the Advanced Styles & CSS page.

Hello, Brian!

Alrighty, all issues fixed except for these ones:

1- I'm not sure if I understood correctly: only members that can delete posts in the forum can delete shouts, is that it?

4 & 5- the usernames right above the avatar + timestamps on the main boards + threads page. The 2 screenshots I put below show where.

Ah, also, on 6 - is there a way to change the "New Button" on the white nav-bar instead of the "New" button? And center the <Prev Next> text + put the green icon at the thread title level and not centered with the pages also?

Sooo close to perfection now ahaah thank you so much!

On the Smileys it is possible to change them one at a time but not as the whole group
Go to Admin Home > Themes > Theme Manager > Theme Settings > Images Tab, scroll down to smiles and you can replace each one with Smiley of your choice, then at the bottom of that section you can even install additional Smiley's of your choice

1- I'm not sure if I understood correctly: only members that can delete posts in the forum can delete shouts, is that it?

Users can delete shouts that they made. They cannot delete shouts made by other people.

Staff with the Delete Post power can delete any shout regardless of who made the shout.

4 & 5- the usernames right above the avatar + timestamps on the main boards + threads page. The 2 screenshots I put below show where.

Your usernames are already perfectly centered. The only time there's ever any offset is with the online icon next to them since it's part of the text being centered.



If you want to remove the timestamps you'll need to remove this line from Themes > Layout Templates > Board > Board List.

<span class="date">$[board.last_thread.last_post.created_on]</span>

And you'll remove the part in red on the line below from Themes > Layout Templates > Board > Thread List.

<td class="latest last">$[thread.last_post.created_by]<br />$[thread.last_post.created_on]</td>

Ah, also, on 6 - is there a way to change the "New Button" on the white nav-bar instead of the "New" button? And center the <Prev Next> text + put the green icon at the thread title level and not centered with the pages also?

You'd use the same CSS you have at the bottom of your style sheet now to change them, but you'd replace each instance of .threads .item.new .new-icon with .popup_html li.new_span > a > .new-icon in the selector to address the navigation tree.

There's no way to center the pagination as far as I can tell. Even if you were to center it it would center itself within the remaining available space in the pagination bar (bar width minus search and dropdown widths), not perfectly center itself between the entire thing.

Yeah, I already changed some of them, but it was more of a "styling" issue (I uploaded GIFs as emoticons) hahah but it's ok! Thanks for the reply!

Alright, all done! Yay! Just one minor issue: for some odd reason, the green circle is now flat with a white thing on it, on the threads page... but I didn't change the codes at all. What happened?

Oh, nevermind! It just came back to normal somehow after awhile. Weird.

Thank you again, Brian!

Probably just your browser bugging out briefly. There don't seem to be any elements nearby that would cause that to happen.

Glad it's all sorted, though.

leo10 just in case, letting you know that where you change or upload the Smiley's if you click on the pencil you can make the code anything you want, so if on another page in your forum that doesn't have the Smiley box, you can type in the code to make the Smiley appear, this only works on your own forum

Yes, I've done that also, extremely handy
