Hello,

There used to be tutorial on how to do it with extreme styles mod without modifying any php files, hovewer that tutorial didn't work properly with topics that had polls so here is better tutorial but it requires minor changes in php files.

Open viewforum.php, find this:

Code: Select all

         'TOPIC_TYPE' => $topic_type,


and add after it:

Code: Select all

         'TOPIC_TYPE_NUM' => $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_type'] + 1,


then open viewforum_body.tpl, find this:

Code: Select all

   <!-- BEGIN topicrow -->


and add before it:

Code: Select all

   <!-- DEFINE $LAST_TYPE = 1 -->


and then add after <!-- BEGIN topicrow -->:

Code: Select all

   <!-- IF topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE_NUM < $LAST_TYPE -->
   <!-- DEFINE $LAST_TYPE = topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE_NUM -->
   <tr>
     <th colspan="2" align="center" height="25" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_TOPICS}&nbsp;</th>
     <th width="50" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_REPLIES}&nbsp;</th>
     <th width="100" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_AUTHOR}&nbsp;</th>
     <th width="50" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_VIEWS}&nbsp;</th>
     <th align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_LASTPOST}&nbsp;</th>
   </tr>
   <!-- ELSEIF topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE_NUM > 1 -->
   <!-- DEFINE $LAST_TYPE = 2 -->
   <!-- ENDIF -->

Make sure you applied changes to viewforum.php

will modifying only 1 templates "viewforum_body.tpl" file affect the others? Or should i do it to all templates?

I really only want to do it to the aphrodite template...

Thanks in advance

No need to modify other templates. Edit only ones that you want to edit.

doesn't work

<!-- BEGIN topicrow -->
<!-- IF topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE_NUM < $LAST_TYPE -->
<!-- DEFINE $LAST_TYPE = topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE_NUM -->
<tr>
<th colspan="2" align="center" height="25" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_TOPICS}&nbsp;</th>
<th width="50" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_REPLIES}&nbsp;</th>
<th width="100" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_AUTHOR}&nbsp;</th>
<th width="50" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_VIEWS}&nbsp;</th>
<th align="center" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_LASTPOST}&nbsp;</th>
</tr>
<!-- ELSEIF topicrow.TOPIC_TYPE_NUM > 1 -->
<!-- DEFINE $LAST_TYPE = 2 -->
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- DEFINE $LAST_TYPE = 1 -->

and viewforum.php

$template->assign_block_vars('topicrow', array(
'ROW_COLOR' => $row_color,
'ROW_CLASS' => $row_class,
'FORUM_ID' => $forum_id,
'TOPIC_ID' => $topic_id,
'TOPIC_FOLDER_IMG' => $folder_image,
'TOPIC_AUTHOR' => $topic_author,
'GOTO_PAGE' => $goto_page,
'REPLIES' => $replies,
'NEWEST_POST_IMG' => $newest_post_img,
'TOPIC_TITLE' => $topic_title,
'TOPIC_TYPE' => $topic_type,
'TOPIC_TYPE_NUM' => $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_type'] + 1,
'VIEWS' => $views,
'FIRST_POST_TIME' => $first_post_time,
'LAST_POST_TIME' => $last_post_time,
'LAST_POST_AUTHOR' => $last_post_author,
'LAST_POST_IMG' => $last_post_url,

'L_TOPIC_FOLDER_ALT' => $folder_alt,

'U_VIEW_TOPIC' => $view_topic_url)

But doesn't editing "viewforum.php" affect all templates?

[PostBot]

No it doesn't because you don't modify any existing variables.

[PostBot]

Your code should work fine. Can you post url where it doesn't work?

You forgot to add <!-- DEFINE $LAST_TYPE = 1 --> before <!-- BEGIN topicrow -->
