How to customize fireboard layout 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hi!
Fireboard is fresh installed on my new website and I am using default_grey template. I want to modify the template so that usabilty of that forum will be extremely simple. So I want to remove or hide all unwanted elements. I did this already by using the forum.css and setting some elements to "display:none". And I changed some buttons to transparent 1px gifs. But there are some more wishes, which cannot be fullfilled by this simple method. As I am not familiar with coding and php, I would appreciate your help:

1.) When answering or editing or writing a new text, there are two table rows, which I want to eliminate: That one with the forum code and that with the icons for that theme. How can I suppress the output of these two rows / which file will I have to edit?

2.) If you are logged in and you are at top level of the forum, then the link "show latest" and the link "my profile" will show up in two separate positions: Once these linked text is in the "fb_topmenu" "class fb_header_th_3" and once again in the "td-2 fbm fb_profileboxcnt". I want to kill both links in the "fb_topmenu". How can I do that?

3.) If I have set it up in the backend, there will be an orange text-note, showing "new!" on every new post since last visit. So why should I have a space-consuming icon, which is green colored, when something new is posted? My idea concerns the column "td .td-1 fbm" and the "td .td-1" and I think, it could be omitted.
As I have no avatar-photos, there will be no problems. How can I set the column of that table to " 0"?

Kind regards
Clemens

Hello Clemens,

Most of the files you are looking for are located in fireboard templates/default directory.
When you want to edit them, make a copy and put it in your current template directory.
Now for the questions, I will give you some pointers that will help, but not step by step instrucions.

The message posting layout is kept in fb_write_html.php, so you should be able to tweak it easily.

Regarding the table layout for the topic list, it is generated in showcat.php

Hope it gets you started!
