Is there a mod or a hack which allows me to add a description to the topic just like a forum or a child-board?

Or somehow insert break row into the topic subject and changing font size/colour?

This is good but not compatible with my version.

It would be good too if there I can do some formatting break row, font size/colour change etc.

Or just extend character limit in topic subject and able to use HTML in it.

Illori

you will not be able to add html unless you are the admin for security reasons.

helike13

Yeah, I'm admin, no problem.

So is it possible to use HTML in the topic subject by default for admin? What about <br />?

Illori

i dont think that would work as in posts/threads you would need to use the html bbc code to add html.

The only way to add it would either risk security matters or it would add a significant performance hit to your forum...

Could you suggest something for formatting topic subject or multiple row topic subject?

Arantor

No, because it adds security risk or performance concerns... like I already said. There ISN'T a way to do it that doesn't have one or both problems.

There IS a topic prefix mod available (smfpacks.com) that does give you formatting options for the prefix but there's no way to make it arbitrary without invoking the bbc parser (which is the single largest and slowest part of SMF) or adding in security risks (all HTML encoded in titles for that reason)

This mod is not compatible with 2.0rc5.

Now I managed to use HTML in topic subject but it was horrible because topic subject is the browser window/tab title and the plain code was there.

Now looking for a mod that support 2.0rc5 and adds the feature of using description to the topics which is visible under the subject in the topic index.

I currently have a mod in the queue for topic descriptions which is available for RC5.

you can get it once the customize team has approved it, which could take a few days or up to a month or more depending on the queue.

helike13

I'd like to start my forum in a month.

I can't start theming until I got this thing solved. I want to make 15 different color schemes of the Curve theme.

Do you have a screenshot of the mod that's been making?

Illori

i dont have access to view unapproved mods at this time and it is up to the author if they want to post screenshots.

helike13

Yeah, I asked the author (Project Evolution) to PM me some screenshots ;D


Illori

since the mod is not approved we can not view those images.

Really? I logged off the forum and attempted to view them and I was fine.
