This info center was initially created by me for a promotion forum. After sitting with it for the last four days, I thought it would be cool to share it as a usable modification for all ProBoards users. I ask that you keep the headers/credits in tact if you choose to use it. If you have any questions about it, or need support, I will answer them in this thread only.
Here is what the info center looks like:
Before you get started, you'll need to make sure you've got font awesome icons readily available on your forum. To do this, go to Admin > Themes > Layout Templates. From there select the Forum Wrapper Template. In the head section that begins with <head> and ends with </head> add the following code after $[head] :
Be sure to save it after you've done so. If you wish to use other icons instead of the ones provided with this template modification, you'll have to search their icon database at the Font Awesome website.
You will also have to install the Forum Age Plugin, by Peter and set the following settings:
*NOTE: Change the "text" and the "title" to whatever you want, or it will display as shown in the screenshot of the info center. If you need support with the plugin, then post in Peter's thread.
Go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS. Select the Style Sheet tab and scroll all the way to the bottom. Click in the white-space after the very last line and hit enter (return) a few times. Then, add the following CSS.
*NOTE: Each section of the CSS is labeled and tells you what it styles. While a lot of the colors are the same, the hex codes are there and you can change them to whatever you want. If you want to leave all text colors default to go with your theme remove the "color: #hex code;" portion of the CSS. Here is the CSS Code:
The next step is to and the info center modification itself. To do this, go to Admin > Themes > Layout Templates and select the Home template. Scroll down and find the part of the page that starts with "{if $[show_stats]}" and select everything from the beginning of that line all the way down to the bottom. Then, delete it and copy and paste the following code:
All color changes can be made in the CSS Style Sheet. If you wish to change what the text says, you'll have to do that in the code above for the specific text you'd like to change.
Any comments are welcome and appreciated. All support related questions about this template should be asked here. Thanks guys, and enjoy!
