Solved Forum Index Questions

Post by Xanthis December 29th 2010, 2:27 am

The top highlighted portion of this image is a box with the words "Forum," "Topics," "Posts," and "Last Posts".
Is it possible to change the words inside that row?

Secondly, I was wondering if you can change the size of the title of a forum, in this case; "Gaming," because even with a description there's a lot of needless empty space in that column.

I am not sure?It actually may be posibil to do it in the index body template?

info added

looks like it would be in (index box home page categories list) template

Code:
       <th colspan="{catrow.tablehead.INC_SPAN}" nowrap="nowrap" width="100%" class="secondarytitle"> {catrow.tablehead.L_FORUM} </th>
      <th nowrap="nowrap" width="50">{L_TOPICS}</th>
      <th nowrap="nowrap" width="50">{L_POSTS}</th>
      <th nowrap="nowrap" width="150"><div style="width:150px;">{L_LASTPOST}</div></th>

i am testing it now Smile

info added again

This That And Whatever

i just changed this
Code:
                                                                    <th class="tcl">{L_FORUM}</th>
                  <th class="tc2">{L_TOPICS}</th>
                  <th class="tc3">{L_POSTS}</th>
                  <th class="tcr">{L_LASTPOST}</th>

Kirk, me = Forum Index Questions 1892_mad_smiley_banging_head_against_a_brick_wall That's so obvious, I don't know why I didn't think of that! TT
This code should be letter for letter on PunBB, even though kirk has placed the PHPBB2 code it's still the exact same Smile


You could prob increase the size of the font by the template too, I'd assume it would go on font-size=32px rather than <SIZE=32> ...

The column labels were modified perfectly, thanks.

As for the forum title however, I went to: General > Categories and forums > "Gaming" > Modify > Forum name > "<size=34>Gaming</size>," then I refreshed the index and nothing changed. Is there a way to change it from the templates?
