Black Pearl to Version: 1.6.9

Okay now for my Question :D

I've used Black Pearl for a few years now (Sharpest Style out there).

When you click on any of these:
View unanswered posts | View active topics
Mark forums read | View unread posts | View new posts | View your posts

There's a Extra Black Column - And it Just does not match the rest of the forum pages served.

So I would like to Remove the dead Box, Just don't know where to Look, and what to change.

Example:



I did search a lot and can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks in Advance,

St0ney

If understand you correct St0ney... you need to set a forum icon to FILLthis box, this way the box won''t be empty at all :wink:

Joshua:

I'm actually looking to remove it completely.
(does not seem, to serve a purpose) for me.

Thanks
St0ney

OK St0ney,

Just to make clear how it can look..... please take a close look at this forum and all the forum icons it has, each forum has its own nice little image.

Now if you are really sure you still want to remove this feature i promise to take a close look for you and assist you, it should not be too hard to do and it's certainly possible :wink:

However... I do need to have a good day to make sure I give you correct advice, ATM my health is not very ok.... so I hope you can be a little patient and are willing to wait.

Or maybe someone else is willing to help???

Josh, I'm in no rush.

I had this Style loaded for years (+updates)

Yes I would still like to remove it. (it's more just to clean up the look of those Search boards).

I understand what your saying about the icons, but keep in mind, these are all just post. (Not Boards)
(in pearl (active topics) it does list the board name/section under the title of the post).

My goal is to have the Example above top - look the same as the example Bottom.

Honestly if this is going to take you ALL Day, I can Live with it :o
And well just bag it.

I've been still searching, and cant find what (page) where the code is that serves these pages.

Hope you feel better Soon !

St0ney

I think I'm in the right place; :mrblue:

viewforum_body.html

You should be able to turn this off in the ACP/Forums or just kill the script.

Thanks Mort:

But I found the correct Page to Edit. "search_results.html"

Now I just need the Code Change.





Thanks Guys !!

St0ney

You're right. ;)

search_results.html

Find This:



Change it to this (Because these VARS appear be inside the <TD <!-- IF searchresults.TOPIC_ICON_IMG --> and <!-- ENDIF --> should be outside of it so that they don't bring up the blank space.

Thanks Mort:

I did some Changes Also, But Even though I got the Look I was looking For.
Doesn't mean it Proper coding - :P

So I'll try your code (so I'll save what Have as a backkup Plan B)

I'll let ya Know how Goes.........


St0ney

I missed something too - If the column is removed it affects the colspan of the sub-header.

So the replace fix is the better option but you also have to modify this.

:censored: phpBB :censored:

LMAO !!

I was going to post this, Until I saw your next Post!


BTW: That top post was a porn Spammer
The photo's were good so we saved the post to a Private Board :LOL:


Yep Were Good ta Go ! Looks much better with-out a blank Box.




I'm surprised this has not come up in the past.
During my search, I went to a lot of boards using this style, and they all had the Blank Box.
But then again - I let it stay that way too, for a few years - :P


Thank You !

St0ney

Congrats St0ney, Thanks for taking over Mort :wink:

You're welcome St0ney, and I'll leave it up to Joshua to report it as a cosmetic GUB :LOL: because I would find it annoying too.

And it probably affects all the MG phpBB styles based on subsilver.

Anyway,

What about editing your first post and changing the title to.

bug - Blank Column in Black Pearl search results.

It may help others to find it a lot easier. ;)

OT: Re the I am topic - -

I am wanting to meet - - - Naw! better not. :censored:

Do any more taking over and I'll be needing an Undertaker over. :mrgreen:

heheheh.. just wanted you to know it's much appreciated Mort.

MG removing these would stop phpbb to validate the styles, because realy it's just a feature (called post icon!)
One could even force a default icon to fill the empty block when a user posts

I don't know how it would affect validation because the <!-- Arguments are on the wrong side of the request.

<?php relates to if(!empty($post_icon)) {then show the block};

So :censored: phpBB have it wrong if they have it coded to show the block <td etc. when there's nothing there to show.

Who cares - Maybe MG was as tired as I get when he wrote it. :twisted:
