Change the text that is displayed above sub boards?

[SafeInSanity]

Is it possible to change the "Message Boards" text on certain boards that displays above the sub boards?

SafeInSanity, not really sure what area you are referring to. Can you provide a screenshot please?

Yeah, look in the attachment to where it says "Message Boards"  That's what I would like to change.

SafeInSanity, just go to Admin > Structure > Categories & Boards. Find the board named Message Boards, double click to edit it's properties and change the name in the About tab.

Hi SafeInSanity

Is this for your forum 'TVFO'? In addition to the screenshot, a link to your forum (and even a link to the particular page) would greatly aid those who are trying to help you.

Admin Home> Themes> Layout Templates> click Board, stay on Board tab.

{if $[board.sub_board_list]}
	<div class="container boards">
		<div class="title-bar"><h2>Sub-Boards</h2></div>
		<div class="content cap-bottom">
			$[board.sub_board_list]
		</div>
	</div>
{/if}

Those are the beginning lines of the stock ProBoards Board template. I'm guessing you replaced the part I've highlighted in red with your own text: Message Boards.

If that's the case, you can change the text to suit your needs.

I think both of you may be misunderstanding what I am trying to achieve here. Take a look at my boards in the link:
tvfansonline.proboards.com/board/99

The boards displayed on this page are all actually sub boards of a board called "Fan pages" that I chose to lock and use as a category so I could display the 3 boards underneath it as you see. Anyways, I want to change the text that says "Message Boards" in the orange title bar. I wish that I could find a way to do this (board specific) but I kind of have the feeling it may have to be a code hack and that it will change the text on all boards across the entire forum?

Anyways, let me know if this is even possible? Thanks!

SafeInSanity , if you change the text in the location I indicated in the Board template, it will only change the text in the title bar above the Sub-boards.

If this is the only case where you have Sub-boards, you'll be good to go. If you want to have other Sub-boards which are subordinate to a different board and have different text in the title bar, you'll need to create some {if}s.

Ok, I think that should be good enough for now. If I decide to do it again with more sub boards I will let you know by tagging you in this thread.  Thanks!

SafeInSanity , sorry I misunderstood earlier. This should do what you want:

Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates, then Board template.

Currently you have this at the top:

{if $[board.sub_board_list]}
<div class="container boards">
<div class="title-bar"><h2>Message Boards</h2></div>
<div class="content cap-bottom">
$[board.sub_board_list]
</div>
</div>
{/if}

Replace it with this:

{if $[board.sub_board_list]}
<div class="container boards">
       {if $[board.id] == 99}
<div class="title-bar"><h2>NEW NAME HERE</h2></div>
       {else}
       <div class="title-bar"><h2>Sub-Boards</h2></div>
       {/if}
<div class="content cap-bottom">
$[board.sub_board_list]
</div>
</div>
{/if}


Replace the NEW NAME HERE in the code above with the new text you wish to use. Save changes.

This will be global though cortect? Probably isnt a way to make this board specific I imagine.

SafeInSanity, not quite sure what you are asking. The adjust code I gave you above will rename the "Message Boards" to whatever you like for that specific board based on your link above (tvfansonline.proboards.com/board/99) and all the rest on the forum will be named Sub-Boards. However if you wish all the rest to be named something else, just change the Sub-Boards text in the above code.

Let me know if this still unclear.

[Scott]

So far the change is specific to one board. If you need others to be customized let me know and I'll modify the code.

Ok Scott ,

I would like to change the text in the orange title bar where it says "Sub Boards" on this board:
