Display Options Above Threads - as seen on vbulletin.org
![]() Developer Last Online: Sep 2016 ![]() ![]() ![]() This modification is in the archives.
This template mod, updated from my 3.6.x version, will streamline and relocate the "Display Options" dropdown menus to the top of your threads list on forumdisplay, as seen here at vbulletn.org in the modification areas.
As part of this move, we'll also change the look of the "Active Users"/Moderators panel remaining at the bottom of the page. ('Before' and 'after' screenshots are below.) Note: In the 3.6.x version, there were two different versions of this mod -- the extra one being for those forums using the excellent Thread Prefixes mod by Mystics. Now that vB 3.7.0 has prefixes on its own, those extra set of instructions are no longer necessary. Important: If you've installed or applied other mods that have altered the forumdisplay template, you may need to adjust the instructions accordingly. I hope this mod is helpful! As always, many thanks to vbulletin.org for the inspiration, not to mention years of providing an amazingly helpful community.

Because unless I'm reading your XML wrong, your replacements eliminate the announcebits section completely, which means announcements won't show up. Plus, you still didn't take away the extra ID = threadslist from the table code above the announcebits section, which means the thread editing will still not work. Here's the section I'm talking about:
The searchstr must include this:
And the replacestr should start with this:
(Obviously this isn't the whole replacement code.) Note the removed id="threadslist' in the replacement stuff, and the inclusion of $announcebits. These are necessary otherwise announcements and inline thread title editing won't work. I really do appreciate the help, Mike! I wish I could create TMS files on my own but I'm no php coder by any stretch. Plus I don't use TMS yet! However, I know the above stuff is important for the modification to work correctly.

thanks for this updated release. The 3.6.x version wasn't working with 3.7!

Now I'm not sure what version to use. Your first post still says version 1.0, although there is talking about changes afterwards? Is it now an xml-product import, or do I still have to edit templates?

Hi TCB. Sorry, the changes mentioned in my OP are comparing this to the original 3.6.x version. This new 3.7.0 version is unchanged and the instructions are in the text file attached to the OP.
This is indeed a Template Modification, so yes, you need to manually edit a template (forumdisplay in this case). The instructions are pretty easy though! Shouldn't take you more than five - ten minutes, tops. ![]() However, if you use the Template Modification System product addon, you can use the xml link up in Mike D's post. Please note that I can't verify that this works because I don't personally have TMS installed. (I'm weird in that I kinda enjoy modifiying the templates myself, since I think it helps me understand what changes are being made to the system.) Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks and good luck!

Oh, great.. thanks a lot. The option to put this 'filter' and 'sort' option on top (like yours) or at the bottom of your forum (default) should be standard in vbulletin. In the meantime, me and my members will enjoy this modification

One thing I notied betweenthe before and after was the label "Display Options" Is there a way to slip that back in there?

Thanks TCB! Glad it's useful, and I agree, this placement seems much more logical than the default -- especially when there are lots of threads within a forum, which means the filtering options are easily missed since they're all the way at the bottom of the screen.
Hostboard: Absolutely! In step #3 of my instructions, you'd just place the following:
Into the code wherever you want. (By default this phrase is "Display Options".) For example, in the "after" sample image, you can see the area that says "Showing threads 1 of 2." To change this to "Display Options: Showing threads 1 of 2" you'd go to Step #3 of my instructions and look for:
and change this to:
Does this make sense? Another option might be to place the "Display Options:" text to the left of all the dropdown filter/sort menus. To do this, again using the third step of my instructions (or if you've already installed the template mod you can just search in your edited template): Search for:
Replace with:
(You might want to surround the display options phrase with <span class="smallfont"> and </span> if the text looks too big.) Let me know if this works for you, or if I'm not clear enough.
