No link to thread in recent threads list

[CollieflowersBark]

As seen here, there is no way in this theme that I am using to click on a recent thread. You can see the threads, but can't get to any individual one, unfortunately. I have to wonder if there is any way to edit that feature in? Thanks!

Hi CollieflowersBark

This isn't the first time you've needed to add back some basic functionality that was gutted from that theme and I doubt it will be the last.

Admin Home> Themes> Layout Templates> click Thread then click Post List tab.

Find this section and ADD the line I've highlighted in green.

                        <div class="timestamp">
                            <div class="username-arrow"></div>$[post.created_on]
                            <div style="float:right; padding:0px 0px 0px 20px;">$[post.thread]</div>
                        </div>

That will place the title of the thread in which the post resides as a clickable link to the right of the timestamp, for each post your search results.

Retread , while that does fix one part of the theme, I don't believe it addresses the user's issue. They mentioned recent "threads" list, not recent posts. Yours fixes the recent posts issue.

And for the record it appears to be a flaw in the theme by the theme author as these issues are present on a fresh install of that theme.



CollieflowersBark , this should fix the issue for you:

Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates, Board > Thread List tab. Find this code:
<td class="author-avatar">
    $[thread.created_by.avatar]
and replace it with:
<td class="author-avatar">
    $[thread.created_by.avatar_medium]Save changes.

Then go to your CSS (Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS, Style Sheet tab.

Scroll down to about line 2493 and find this code:
.author-avatar, .lp-avatar {
   width: 80px;
   height: 80px;
}
and replace it with this:
.author-avatar, .lp-avatar {
   display:table-cell;
   vertical-align:top;
   width: 80px;
   height: 80px;
}Save changes.

Yes, I focused on the /posts/recent as that was the link she gave in her OP.

If there's also an issue with /threads/recent, I'm sure she'll appreciate the help there.

Yes indeed! There are other pieces of very basic (but important) functionality omitted by the author. I downloaded a fresh version from the Library while helping Lyla with a checkbox issue in a previous thread, and the same checkbox fix in a thread for CollieflowersBark .

I reckon there will be fixes requested for other issues...

Retread, my bad, I didn't click the link, I just focused on their terminology of "recent threads" and "thread list". (which of course is different from recent posts )



And you probably got the last download as I removed that theme from the library. If you can PM me with any other functionality issues you've noticed, I'd appreciate it so I can let the author know.

Thank you guys. I actually did mean recent posts, I was mistaken in calling them 'threads' because I meant that I needed a link to the thread from that page. It's working correctly now, thank you!
