[Beta 1.4.+][Code]Nicer categories

[groundup]

This takes "Forum name" off and removes that row.  Puts "Topics", "Posts", & "Last post" in the category row.  Also, every category is now a table so you can do stuff like adding space in the middle (which this mod does with 3 line breaks).  If you want to host a boardmod file for me, go ahead and copy this.

This should work for 1.4 and 1.4.1

Can we have this updated for 1.4.1?   I beg you.  

[groundup]

LOL I like the kisses  

I will probably do it when I get home from dinner.  Does the code actually work?  Do you have a test forum I can see ?

[KillaP]

Actually I haven't had the chance to install it and then 1.4.1 came out.  I would love to use it and beta test it for you if you wish.    Also, I knew you would like the kisses.  

[KillaP]

Not to rush, but how's it coming?  I am eager to try it out.  

[groundup]

I just looked at it and it should work for 1.4 and 1.4.1.  Try that out and tell me the effect

[KillaP]

I'm trying right now.  

[KillaP]

ooo.  Since I have a lot of mods that have edited the boardindex, this is tougher than I thought.  It may take me longer.

It's in the first part of de script/code ??

[Ben_S]

Replace it with nothing, in other words delete it

[groundup]

Does anyone have this mod working, so that I can see how it looks?

[Kalin Somphane]

good question

[scunderground]

i am having 2 parse errors and i did everything it said
can someone post a board index file that has it already done? in a zip?
the only mod i have installed is chris cromer's global mod center
i zipped BoardIndex.php
if you have time look at it,
http://scunderground.com/BoardIndex.zip

[groundup]

what are the errors?  post the line numbers and what is on those numbers.  Thank You

I'd suggest instead of deleting that section just replace it with something like "//This section removed for Nicer Caegories Mod" this would allow easier removal of this mod in the future
