Forum Description Question

[Kenneth Holland]

Hello,

Can I set the forum description to appear just beneath the forum title as well as having the grey hover popup that's there now?

Thanks.

Ken

The iPad problem is likely due to the fact that tooltip descriptions become inline descriptions when javascript is disabled. If the iPad doesn't support javascript then Yorick's original template edit will result in two descriptions.

I would skip the template edit and set the style properties like so:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> Forum / Node List



This isn't what the OP wants but this way the description always shows inline. That makes the popup irrelevant. You don't need both. Otherwise you have to deal with javascript to have both and make it work properly when javascript is disabled.

Could you copy and paste what is in the node_forum_level_2?

<xen:require css="node_list.css" />
<xen:require css="node_forum.css" />
 
<li class="node forum level_{$level} {xen:if '{$level} == 1 AND !{$renderedChildren}', 'groupNoChildren'} node_{$forum.node_id}">
 
    <xen:if is="{$level} == 1"><div class="categoryStrip subHeading"></div></xen:if>
 
    <div class="nodeInfo forumNodeInfo primaryContent {xen:if $forum.hasNew, 'unread'}">
 
        <span class="nodeIcon" title="{xen:if $forum.hasNew, '{xen:phrase unread_messages}', ''}"></span>
 
        <div class="nodeText">
            <h3 class="nodeTitle"><a href="{xen:link forums, $forum}" data-description="{xen:if @nodeListDescriptionTooltips, '#nodeDescription-{$forum.node_id}'}">{$forum.title}</a></h3>
 
            <xen:if is="{$forum.description} AND @nodeListDescriptions">

Jeff, you have to revert the edits you made in that node_forum_level_2.
The OP wanted to have description below AND hover tool tips. In our case we only wanted description shown below.
If you read the posts earlier (specifically post #2), you'll see what changes need to be reverted.

Jeff, you have to revert the edits you made in that node_forum_level_2.

Aha! That was it. Thanks so much for your help.

Glad I was able to help
