[SSD] Brighten up your Forum Stats Box

[Lisa]

Lisa submitted a new resource:

Brighten up your Forum Stats Box - Add Font Awesome and a splash of colour!

Instead of having the plain forum stats box, I decided to change one up a bit - and ended up with this:-

So thought, in case any one fancied doing something like this, I'd share what I did.

First, open your ACP, go to styles and open the forum_list template and find:-

<dl class="discussionCount"><dt>{xen:phrase discussions}:</dt>
                        <dd>{xen:number $boardTotals.discussions}</dd></dl>
                    <dl...

Excellent work. I especially like the brighter 'look' but would use it in plainer colours to match my theme, thanks for this

Hi @Lisa

Nice tuto but I don't have this result... :/
What's wrong please?

I paste the entire code into mentioned templates but it doesn't work on my forum.

I don't see the edits anywhere?

I put your code in the template forum_list and I added your second code in the template extra.css

I can't see it showing in any of the styles - so kinda hard to help you.

I think, it doesn't work on custom style like mine cause I'm using the UIX one. :/

I did it on Audentio's scratch . . and on Class - so it works

Weird, I followed the procedure.

What style did you do it on? I see an English, French and Spanish one and don't see any sign of the edits having been made - nothing that displays like your screenshot.

It is normal, I removed the codes 2 min ago and I'm using the French one.

Ahh okay, well I can't troubleshoot without seeing what you'd done.

If anyone is having any problems and are using XenPorta, you need to make the edits in the EWRwidget_ForumStats template, not the forum_list one. Will add that to the tutorial.

Works fine for me execpt what would I need to add to show "user record" or how could I just hide that?

Using XenPorta2 btw

 

[Lisa]

I'm sorry, I don't have XenPorta installed - User Record is specific to that.

 

[iamjudd]

Would you just need the class name of that section?

Also I just noticed the icons only show on my portal and not on the forum listings
