Top Stat issue & misc questions

Post by **toneless** » 27 Nov 2012, 13:41

Hi.
I'm new to phpbb3 and "top stats" is the third mod I have installed.

I only need the "recent topics" tab and It works fine but there is an issue and I also need some changes.

Here is my board so you can have a look... : 2stroke dot gr

1) layout of the mod seems erratic and different than my style (Cerulian style)

2) I need the "star" buttons replaced with the ones that are correct to my style.

3) If it's possible, I'd like to move the mod to the very bottom of the page.

4) Also, if it's possible, I want guests to see all the topic subjects in the recent topics even though they do not have permission on some of them.

Any help much appreciated and sorry if I don't explain correctly my issues as English is not my native language.
Regards
Nick

P.s Sadly, I'm not allowed to post the link to my board...

For 1 and two do the folllowing:

In overall_header.html change:
row_height : '41px', to row_height : '45px',

Colours.css use this instead:

Code: Select all

/* Top Stats Mod */
#vertical-ticker{
	position:relative;	
	height: 135px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

#vertical-ticker li{
	display: block;
}

#news{
	height: 45px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

Use this as recent_active_body.html

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_TS_JSSCROLL and TS_JSSCROLL_NAVIGATION and not S_TS_TICKER -->
<div style="text-align:right; padding-right:10px;"><a href="#" title="{L_PREVIOUS_SCROLL}" id="ticker-previous"><img src="{ROOT_PATH}images/player_rew.png" width="16" height="16" alt="{L_PREVIOUS_SCROLL}" /></a> <a href="#" title="{L_NEXT_SCROLL}" id="ticker-next"><img src="{ROOT_PATH}images/player_fwd.png" width="16" height="16" alt="{L_NEXT_SCROLL}" /></a> <a href="#" title="{L_STOP_SCROLL}" id="stop"><img src="{ROOT_PATH}images/player_pause.png" width="16" height="16" alt="{L_STOP_SCROLL}" /></a> <a href="#" title="{L_START_SCROLL}" id="start"><img src="{ROOT_PATH}images/player_play.png" width="16" height="16" alt="{L_START_SCROLL}" /></a></div>

I've first changed the /public_html/styles/Cerulean/template/recent_active_body.html and almost everything was corrected!!!

Then I got to the public_html/styles/Cerulean/template/overall_header.html and changed row height. This didn't made and change as far as I can tell.

Then I got to the public_html/styles/Cerulean/theme/colours.css and made the changes as per your instructions. This didn't made any changes as well. No big experience so please be patient.

I'm not sure what and where I should do number 3 change.

3. insert the code AFTER  instead og before.

From the first change recent_active_body.html everything has changed to better.
Only issue that I can tell is that the buttons do not change color if you read them. They are always dull like you've already read the topics.

Unread isnt considered, thats the way it works for now.

I have checked youur site. Looks perfect to me so maybe you should refresh your browser.

Post by **Stoker** » 27 Nov 2012, 16:36

Ops, number 3 is in index_body.html

I'm not sure what you mean here.
I move this code to the bottom of the index_body.html and it only alters the position of the stats.

I always empty the cache and refresh the template. The topics on recent mod are always marked as they've been read while are new.

I beleive that's the answer about showing hidden topic subjects on the recent topics.

viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2016&p=12905&hilit=hidden#p12905

I will try it right now.
