Post List HTML Question ?

[Dimand Emreld]

This is the link to the page I want to make a Button move on.
textdeciples.proboards.com/thread/6/text-journey-rules

I managed to move the Reply Button from the Top Right Corner, to the Bottom Right Corner.
But I want to make one last move.
I want to move the Quote, Edit, and Post Option Buttons from the Top Right Corner,
to the Bottom Right Corner next to the Reply Button, on the right side of the Reply Button.


Could some one inform me on how to do this ?

A start would be, click on Admin>Themes>Layout Templates>Threads
After clicking on Threads, it would take me to the Threads Visual Editor.
There I would see 3 Tabs that say, "Threads, Post List and Quick Reply."
Now this is as far as I can go. 
Can someone inform me on what to do next ?

First, I must go to Admin>Structure>Layout Templates>Threads
Then there are three Tabs that say, "Threads, Post List and Quick Reply."
Where should I grab the Quote, Edit and Post Option Button HTML's, and where should I place them ?

You were told in your other thread (support.proboards.com/post/7357517/thread) that this is not possible.

The bar at the bottom is the thread control bar. All actions on that bar affect the whole thread.  You were able to move the Reply button there because this is a thread action - you are replying to the thread.

The buttons you want to move there are post actions. These buttons display in each post and the action applied affects the post in which the button is clicked. They are not thread actions.  The buttons you want to move will not work in the thread control bar because they will not be associated with a post. 

The variables you are showing in your screenshot are from the Post List template, but you want to move them to the Thread template.  Click on the Thread template and look at the variable list on the right side. The variables you would need to add to the thread control bar ($[post.quote_button] $[post.edit_button], $[post.likes.button], $[post.select_options])  are not available because they will NOT work in that template.

Looking at your forum, I was unable to find a thread that had more than one post.  If you had a thread with multiple posts, this might be clearer to understand.

This isn't possible on ProBoards. HTML can be very helpful when customising ProBoards, but the HTML still needs to function within the limitations of the software. This doesn't mean that it isn't ever possible, just that it isn't possible with ProBoards specifically because of how it was designed.

No one is lying to you to hurt your feelings or make you feel stupid, it just isn't something that you can do with ProBoards software.
