This is the support topic for the tutorial Collapsible forum rules.  Please post here if you have any questions or feedback.

Thanks for the tut! It very useful.

However it doesn't remember your preferences. =/ So you need to change the PHP code you add to this:

//-----------------------------------------
// Collapsible forum rules
// by m4rtin @ InvisionModding.com
//-----------------------------------------

$cids = ','.$this->my_getcookie('collapseprefs').',';

$rules['fo'] = 'show';
$rules['fc'] = 'none';

if ( strstr( $cids, ",rules_".$forum['id']."," ) ) {
	$rules['fo'] = 'none';
	$rules['fc'] = 'show';
}
				
$rules['f_id'] = $forum['id'];

Thanks again for the great tut. It works!

Just a lack of a comma there. Tutorial updated.

And using '. $var .' is so ugly "{$var}" is so much better looking

I like ugly PHP!

Thanks for the update.

I get this ...


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting '}' in /home/.patachou/********/********.com/sources/ipsclass.php on line 3474



This is line 3474 ...


                $cids = ",{$this->my_getcookie( 'collapseprefs' )},";



When I take off the edit it works again.


Also, as I mentioned in my original thread, 'borderwrap' doesn't work in Forum Rules unless you only use text. If you add an image, or a table, etc., it stuffs up. I get over this by substituting 'borderwrap' with 'row1'.

That was why I re-wrote the template bit in the first place.

When I use the code in Post 2 it works.

So the collapsible part is working... thats good.

Do you still have trouble with the borderwarp thingy?

Could you give a screenie of what you mean? Or did you manage to get what you wanted?

[OuttaHere]

If you use 'borderwrap', and add an image, etc., you get the text in a box, (borderwrap), and the image underneath, with no border around the rules.

So I substitute class="borderwrap' with class='row1'

I then add image borders.

[herbivore]

Well I wonder why borderwrap does that...

Oh well, at least its working perfectly for you now, right?

I updeted the code. Should work fine now

Doesn't the default template use borderwrap? In that case you should have that problem even with out making the changes.

[OuttaHere]

That's right, borderwrap has never worked, except for text only.

I have the following code for one of my custom skins:

<div class="catheadmid"><div class="catheadleft"><div class="catheadright"><div class="catheadtext">
<center>
{$rules['title']}
</center>
</div></div></div></div>

<div class="borderwrap8" style="clear: left;">
<div class="row6"><div class="row7">
{$rules['body']}>
</div></div></div>
<div class="catend">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="catfoot"><div class="catfoot_left"><div class="catfoot_right"></div></div></div>
<br /><br /><br /><br />


<!-- End FAQ/Forum Rules -->

Can you please tell me what changes I need to make for this as its already been edited, thankyou

[Martin]

Try this, but it may not look good at all. Hard to do these kinds of changes on a custom skin, especially when you can't physically see it.
