[archers-rest]

Another question based on the new template as used here

Ive bodged a topposters portal up and its looking good apart from the fact I cant get the users name and post count on the same line unless there is no gap between them, everytime i try to align the post count to the right it goes right but below the posters name, creating gaps.

The code is in the spoiler, how would I get the desired effect.

Spoiler: Code: <div class="forabg"> <div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <ul class="topiclist"> <li class="header">       <dl class="lastpost" >             <dt>Top Posters<br><span class="gensmall">Admin & Mods excluded</span></dt>                    </dl> </li> </ul> <ul class="widelist forums">      <!-- BEGIN topposters --> <li class="row"> <dl class="lastpost" >            <dt><span class="topictitle"><a href="{topposters.U_PROFILE}" class="topictitle">{topposters.NAME}</a>{topposters.POSTS}</a></span></dt> </dl></li>   <!-- END topposters --> </ul> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>       </div>

I'll get used to these new bits of code one day

What I did and do, is to find something that looks vaguely like what I want, and there are examples of multicolumn layouts dotted around the support forum! Do a view source, and then apply that code to the portal.

Took a fair bit of head scratching, but its there now

heres the code for anyone interested

Spoiler: Code: <div class="forabg"> <div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <ul class="topiclist"> <li class="header">       <dl class="lastpost" >             <dt>Top Posters<br><span class="gensmall">Admin & Mods excluded</span></dt>                    </dl> </li> </ul> <ul class="widelist forums">      <!-- BEGIN topposters --> <li class="row"> <dl class="lastpost" >            <table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="150" border="0">     <tbody>         <tr>             <td><span class="topictitle"><a href="{topposters.U_PROFILE}" class="topictitle">{topposters.NAME}</a></span></td><td align="right"><span class="topictitle">{topposters.POSTS}</span></td></tr>     </tbody> </table> </dl></li>   <!-- END topposters --> </ul> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>       </div>

thanks for that. We probably should have a "proper" system for people to post these

I would like to put this on my forum,

But to include admin posts etc,
Where do I putt his code to make it work?

Cheers

You probably need to read up on portal use.

The general instructions are:

1) Use the TOPPOSTERS portal or create a new portal copying from TOPPOSTERS.
2) Edit the cms_topposters.tpl or cms_mycopy.tpl file and make it use archers-rests code that must be edited to your portal name in its loops and switches.
3) Put {MYFF.TOPPOSTERS) in the template you want to see things in.
