Reboot and subforums

Hi Ike,

I am using a lot of subforums at my forum: http://friskyttarna.eu/forum/

Is there any way to display subforums the same way in Reboot as in the Default theme? Below the forum in an own row instead of inside the forum/topic section?

Cheers

I would really like Ike to answer this but he is unwell at the moment so if you can be patient for a couple of days I am sure he will recover soon and will be able to answer! Hope that is OK. iIf you don’t get a reply here just send us a bump…

Hey Meztli,

Sorry for the late reply!

I can see how having more than a couple of sub-forums would cause a bit of a space issue, I will open a ticket to move the sub-forums to a new line underneath the forum more like Default theme, and we should get that fixed up for the first Reboot update.

I would post some update code for you to use, but it’s going to be a little bit more than a couple of lines! Probably best to wait for the update if that’s OK with you?

Hi Ike,

Thank you, that’s great news.

Hi guys,

Do you have any time frame for the next update that will include Ikes subforum change?

There may a problem as there are some core SP changes that will be needed with any theme updates. How close that is not sure yet. I will ask Ike of the changes for sub-forums are extensive and if they can be applied simply.

Bit Steve is back from vacation tomorrow and the release schedule is probably the first thing we will talk about!

Ike: Are the changes for sub-forums difficult and extensive?

OK. I apologise if I’m missing anything, so you’ll have to let me know if it works OK.

Template change:

    spGroupViewDesktop.php –
       *Remove entire sp_ForumIndexSubForums function from line 74 (approx)
       *Relocated to line 109 (approx) after forum section end, but just before end of forum loop.

Stlesheet changes (reboot.php or child equiv.):

    *Amend the following rules, check with what you have and change as appropriate –

    #spMainContainer .spInRowSubForums {
        font-size: <?php echo($inRowSubsFontSize); ?>;
        border: <?php echo($inRowSubsBorder); ?>;
        background: <?php echo($indexRowEvenBackGround); ?>;
        padding: 4px 0px 4px 5px;
        margin: -6px 0 5px 0px;
    }

    *Add the following underneath the previous rule –

    #spMainContainer .spInRowSubForums .spIconSmall {
        max-width: 16px;
        max-height: 16px;

Overlay changes:

    *Add border rule to all ‘light’ overlays also inc.     ‘Minimal’ and ‘Orange’

    $inRowSubsBorder        =    “1px solid $blackOpaque”;

    *Add border rule to all remaining overlays (dark)

    $inRowSubsBorder        =    “1px solid $baseColor0”;

Like I said – should be all there. Let me know if that works for you!

We may even be able to get the official update out this weekend but that is not a promise!
