A Little Post Help

[Brian Klein]

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read the ramblings of an old man just trying to learn.

When a topic is created in the forum application there is a check box that floats above all the posts; as shown below in Example 001

[Example 001]

 

I tried to figure out the code here to

• remove the white box bordering that check box
• place that checkbox in the first post
• but only have it affect the forum threads and nowhere else on the community

As to tidy it up so it looks more like [Example 002] (Image 002 is of the first post in the thread when created, the other posts have the box already within them)

I am not entirely sure why IPS creates it the way they do, it just seems to me this would be cleaner.

If anyone is willing to help me code it right, I would be forever grateful. I don't feel comfortable attempting it on my own without guidance.

 

Thank you again for your support and helping me figure this out.

Not sure if you can move the bulk action box into the posts?  There should already be a box in each post for moderation actions.  Pagination will fill the white space on the left...I'm not good with code though, so someone with more knowledge than I will have to chime in.

Ah ok, that makes it look a bit better, and makes more sense, I can work with this. Thanks for clarifying this for me @RocketStang. I was taken back by the open space, but this does clarify why it is blank for now; our community is a tiny one, not much action at the moment.

Thank you again!
