It's getting in the way of things and I have seen other forums with it gone. If I can't get rid of it can I hide it or make the writing smaller.

Thanks

[BEO]

Be more specific. What do I have to do to get rid of it

[Kilsek]

You need to be able to edit your templates

Do you have template editing enabled?

[Placehold]

What version of forum are you using?
phpbb2, phpbb3 or punbb as i might be able to find a way to edit it for you

Let me know and i'll try it

Regards

no, I think I have to pay for that

[Placehold]

You can hide stuff on your forum by using the CSS which as standard is free

Admin panel\Display\Colors\CSS Stylesheet

The only problem being it changes depending on the forum version

phpbb2, phpbb3 or punbb

I have a copy of all three CSS and will see if i can hide this for you however i will need to know what version your forum is

Admin Panel\Display

It will show you the version of your forum there

Thank you for that

my 'who is online' box has gone wierd

[Placehold]

After playing with this for a while i have noticed alot about phpbb2, because its an older version of the bulletin board it has many linked together sections such as the "time and date" being linked to the "who is online" box, the "legend bar" will have been effect aswell

In newer version this is not the case and can be individually hidden without effecting other parts of the forum

To fix the forum take the code out and press "Submit"

Regards





Craig

[Saurus]

my 'who is online' box has gone wierd

Yes - that's because those three classes affect more than just that section you're trying to hide. I found that out the hard way myself when trying to change some text in the gallery. They need to make more precise classes for a lot of this stuff. Either that or use the more standard "GetElementByID" or "GetElementByTAG" containers like other software does. If each element had it's own ID or TAG - it would be a piece of cake to change a lot of this stuff.

[Saurus]

I have a copy of all three CSS and will see if i can hide this for you however i will need to know what version your forum is

I asked before and didn't get a reply .. I guess there is no way I can coerce you into parting with a copy of those phpBB2 classes, huh? I'd really appreciate having them!

[Placehold]

You never said what one you wanted lmao

I'll PM you all three

and how'd you get that quote onto this thread

Lmao

Craig

Ooops my bad, never looked properly lol

You probably didn't return to the thread I asked on last week
No problem - I appreciate it!

[BEO]

How can I get a later version then and get rid of the what I wanted to get rid of without messing the who is online box nall that.

[Placehold]

Well i use Punbb mainly because you can alter it more, however changing up version can alter your forum from text to images

Admin Panel\display\Choose a theme\Version

You will have the option of three

phpbb2, phpbb3 and punbb

You also get a selection of skins for each and with phpbb3 you can keep your current style

Craig

It would really help id people asking questions would include a link to their forum so we could get an idea what they're talking about - or edit their profile on here to include a link.

We'd really need to know what the problem is that affects your info box when you used that code. If it's a question od colors making the text not visible, you could probably change the BG color for that area. Without seeing the problem it's kinda difficult to know what you want.

[Placehold]

If i got the just of it, i think they would like to hide the time and date on their forum as its taking up space right above there forum section however because its interlinked to the legend and whos online sections they also disappeared,

I think lmao

Regards






Craig

[BEO]

lol

[BEO]

ok My version is now phpBB3

[Placehold]

To do this use the CSS section to take away the sections

1. Navigate to

Admin panel\Display\Colors\CSS StyleSheet

2. Add the following text and press "Submit"

Code:

ul.linklist li.rightside {
float: right;
display: none;
}
ul.linklist li.footer-home {
float: left;
display: none;
}
p.rightside {
float: right;
margin-right: 5px;
display: none;
}

Once you refresh your forum the effects are immediate and will only remove your time and date on the top right hand side, I'm am currently working on a way to get rid of the content on the top left without disrupting the nav links

Regards






Craig

[BEO]

ok, thanks. Have you got the code for the top left yet .

Sorry, If I am being impatient

[Placehold]

Well sort of , i managed to cover it however the code is really messy, I'm trying to simplify the code to make it easier and safer to use

sorry if I'm taken a while

regards






Craig

[BEO]

It's fine .


EDIT: ehh, got it yet
