I know that we had a discussion about this and that there was a fully customisable function to change how post times are displayed but I can't for the life of me find the thread.

Can someone help with this, I have been writing stuff down this time as I get things looking just how I want them.

Well actually how do I alter the fact that each line of the time appears to be centre justified, and I'd prefer left justified?

I think that because I have so much text displayed that it would look better left justified. Also on V4.5.1 there is a link arrow to the last post in a forum but no topic title, how would I go about removing the title, left justifying the whole text in that column and just having a link arrow after the time on the bottom line?

Should I start another thread pertaining to column formatting and include the time formatting in that? I'm sure that others would like to know and it might make it easier for them to find?

the themes we provide center justify... you control that from your theme... find the group view template file and change center to left...

Hi Steve so how would I add this to the following code excerpt? I know that there is a function spLeft but not sure of the correct syntax.

    # Column 4 of the forum row
                        # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
                        sp_ColumnStart('tagClass=spColumnSection spRight&width=32%&height=55px');
                            sp_ForumIndexLastPost('tagClass=spInRowPostLink&nicedate=0&date=1&time=1&stackdate=1',__sp('Last Post'));
                        sp_ColumnEnd();

I also realised that the content for column 4  that I wanted in Group view was available in forum view so I managed to figure that out.

eh, sorry... looks like I am wrong...  that is controlled in the sp theme css...  so you need to edit the styling for

#spMainContainer .spInRowPostLink

in the theme css file... currently its text-align: center...  change it to left...

Great Steve done it and I think that it looks much better but how would I make column 3 more central and column 4 further to the right in the spGroupForumSections? They both appear to be aligned right at the moment and column 3 is not quite in the middle and the gap between the content of columns 3 and 4 could do with being greater.

I am beginning to really appreciate the power of the whole V5.0 forum concept now.

good to hear on the themes... we are really looking forward to seeing what our users can come up with!  and user contributed themes...

if you want to ship the columns around, play with the spColumnSection widths for each of the columns... just adjust the widths to what you want...
