I created the custom page. I selected HTML Removed what was in the empty page Copied and pasted the code into the empty page. Clicked SAVE Perfect, thank you for the description! When you created the custom page, you should have been presented with a pop-up that asked you to give the page name and ID (which i write as PAGEID here, obviously the ID is whatever you put in). You can find the URL to the page one of two ways: - Add /page/PAGEID to the end of your URL (so dragracing164size.freeforums.net/page/PAGEID) OR - If you navigate back to the list of custom pages, you'll see a link to the custom page in the "View Page" column. If you click this link, it will show you the page. You can use either of these two methods to obtain the URL of the page and view it. To add it to your menu, navigate to Admin > Settings > Forum Settings. Click the "Navigation" tab. This is a list of your menu items. At the bottom of the list is a button that says "Add Custom". Click that, and then add in your URL. My advice is just to add /page/PAGEID rather than the full URL, just in case you decide to spring for a custom domain in the future. Doing it this way will make it so that the browser automatically appends the URL of the page you're already on to the beginning of the link. Does this help?

Well I created the custom page and not sure what to do next as I see no way to get to view the table. I am missing something! My lack of knowledge,' Alan So just to confirm, where are you in the steps? - You've created the custom page, HAVE NOT added the table code - You've created the custom page, HAVE added the table code

Riley - it looks like this thread was removed from the support board since it's about forum customisation assistance rather than technical support with the software; unfortunately that does mean that we can't assist due to the URL being private. If you're comfortable sharing that URL, someone will be better capable of assisting you once they can see the theme in action.

Sounds like you maybe in the US and the same time zone as me. I am located in MN. Looking forward to this. I see you are posting a lot and helping many. Very nice of you to do so. Alan Thanks for your patience! [ HERE] is a link to the README. I would definitely recommend saving this doc to your PC as I often go through my google drive to delete files that I do not actively use. And here (below) is the code. Install this code on a custom page, which you can create by going to admin > structure > custom pages. Create a "blank" custom page, navigate to the "HTML" tab, delete what's already there, and copy/paste the following into that zone. The below code should be good to go with no modifications unless you want to change any of the content itself. You can reuse this code (README has an empty copy) as needed on multiple custom pages, and the README goes over how to edit and modify the code. If you have any questions, please let me know! <style> .container.boards.custom__table { width:100%; } .custom__table.title__row { background-color: #2e75b5; color: #fff; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 1.8em; text-align: center; letter-spacing: 0.1em; } .custom__table.title__row h2 { font-weight: bold!important; font-style: italic!important; } .custom__table.category__row, .custom__table.entries__row { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 11% 11% 11% 11% 11% 11% 11% 11% 12%; } .custom__table.category__row > div , .custom__table.entries__row > div { border-radius: 0; } .custom__table.category__row { background-color: #ddd; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.1em; } .custom__cell { display: flex; justify-content: space-evenly; align-items: center; padding: 0.5em; border-right: 1px solid; text-align: center; } .custom__cell .custom__warning { display: contents; color: #ff0000; } .custom__cell .custom__emphasis { display: contents; } .custom__table.entries__row .custom__cell { border-top: 1px solid; } .custom__table.entries__row .custom__cell.first { font-weight: bold; background-color: #eee; text-align: center; } .custom__cell.last { border-right: transparent!important; } .custom__warning { color: #ff0000; } .custom__emphasis { font-weight: bold; }

I reviewed the example you sent and yes you did display all the data within the doc! Perfect! Sorry for the delay on this but it's getting a little late here where I am, and I really want to make sure to write you some good documentation so I'll have this to you tomorrow afternoon, my sincerest apologies in the wait! I got caught up in other work haha.

Consistent design like in the doc. Within the doc there are a few areas I have not filed in yet with data if that is what you mean. The overall structure of the doc itself has nothing missing. - Understood - What I mean is, did I display all the data in the doc on the custom page? It's not relevant to me if there's additional data, I just want to make sure that of the data provided, that it's all in. It will make it easier for me to show you how to edit this.

It all looks great! I understand about the 3 pages in the doc. All is good. OK just for clarity (my apologies): - Are we keeping the table coded to match whatever forum theme is active, or would you like it to be a consistent design like in your doc? - There is no actual information missing from the table, it's just showing on one page when the doc shows three pages, correct?

The table looks fantastic! Not sure I understand the title of the table (Maple Groove Pancake Series ) is coded to match the title bar on my forum. Yes I would like to keep the blue bar + white text + font size. Question - will I be able to make edits to the table as needed? Also you example show just one page of the doc. Will the entire doc be shown? Sorry for all the questions but I am learning a lot. Thank you. Title bar matching: So what I mean by this, is that on your forum the title bar (where it says the name of the category, like this) is styled in a particular way. That purple bar with the white text inside is the title bar. I've coded the table so that, no matter what colour that bar may be (whether or not you have themes with different colour schemes, or if you decide to change this particular theme's colour scheme) it will always match the look and feel of the theme, without you having to manually change the colours. Presuming that makes a bit more sense now, does your opinion on the colour scheme of the table change in any way? Re: changes to the table: Yes, you will be able to do that. I will provide a README.txt for you if you like what you see so far (pending the potential change to the title bar appearance) that will go over both how to update the table and add new rows, as well as how to create a completely new table with the same setup. Re: the whole document: My apologies, but the document I opened only had 3 pages and all of those pages were a single table which is reflected on the custom page (bear in mind that word documents introduce "page breaks" if content exceeds the size of an 8.5x11 piece of paper, but websites will show a continuous page). I uploaded this document to google drive so you can see what I received: docs.google.com/document/d/1UugBgANDokLmhI1UsMMbaz0KlSMl-HNq/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=100683740543002330256&rtpof=true&sd=trueIf there is more than that, then if you could try to send me a fresh copy as a .doc instead of a .docx, that would be helpful in determining what information is missing.

Lets give this a try! I have added two selections in my navigation menu called Pancake and Inline Rules. This is where the member mwke the selection to go to the tables I hope! I have only one doc for pancake but will need to do one for inline also. dragracing164size.freeforums.net/View AttachmentThank you for your help! Alan Hello! Before I provide the code, I wanted to show you the table in action on a custom page (link) to make sure it meets expectations. A few things to note: 1. The title of the table (Maple Groove Pancake Series) is coded to match the title bar on your forum -- more specifically, I used the default PB styling for a title bar. It matches my test forum because of that, but when installed on your forum, it will match that purple-y background with white text. If you want to keep the blue bar + white text + font size like in your document please let me know and I'll change it. 2. Similarly, all other styling is set to match your forum's appearance, no matter what theme you use (if you have more than one, or if you change your default theme's appearance). This includes the colour of the text, unless otherwise overridden as indicated by your original table. If you want additional changes (eg, to make the column headers all caps) please let me know. 3. I also did not underline some of the bold text within the contents; it was a little buggy and I didn't have the time to dedicate to debut it extensively. It is however still bold, so hopefully that is sufficient. Let me know what you think! Once any adjustments are complete, I'll send the completed table over, as well as a template and instructions so you can create more tables on your own

Hi guys Jeez l dont know where to start with your questions what to do etc its all above me to be honest...just want someone to help me design a better forum more colourful to the eye.. I didn't ask any questions, I gave you information about what the issue is, why it's an issue, and what you can do to fix it. If all you care about is aesthetics, you can install any of the themes I listed above with the click of a button. This board is not for the purpose of requesting someone to do it for you, however. If you're interested in passing off the responsibility of managing the technical and aesthetic aspects of your forum to someone else, I would recommend posting in the looking for: design assistance thread. Note that there is no guarantee someone will volunteer. All the best, and I hope one day you'll be open to learning more about how to manage your forum.

How in the heck to I attach the word file to a post?. I see nothing to select! There should be an attachment button on the reply page (don't use the quick reply, click the reply button instead to get the full text editor). Click the attachment button, and that should open up a file explorer prompt for you to select a file. Navigate to wherever you have it saved and select that for upload.

Kami - Not knowing anything about all this I think it would not need to be inside a post. By making the selection at the Navigation panel it would take the user directly to the table and bypass any post. HTML Lovely, then send me the table setup when you're ready (as an attachment in a reply post in this thread).

Kami - I just now setup a new Proboards Forum. I have not done anything else to it but set it up. As a reminder I am wanting to add a selection in the Navigation box and when a member selects it, it will take them to my table. Do I need to structure anything in the new forum before you can do your thing? Thank you! Nope! This type of HTML is agnostic to anything else. I just need confirmation if you want it in HTML, or if you want to put it inside a post which would be done in BB Code.
