anyone got a tableless discussion forum template?
Development and Programming
Sean, the viewforum-Part is in tables, right, this is cause that’s - in view of semantic - the absolutely logical way to display this kind of content. table-less-layout and semantic-web does not mean that you can’t use the table-tag … you just have to use them only when you have content for tables (like the viewforum-page).
is it difficult to rewrite every forum-template? … well, you have to know where you have to change which parts and how this interacts with other templates etc. and you have test every possible interaction of the forum.
in short: it’s very time-consuming and you have to know what you do (and where 😊 ) … I’ve done forum-template-rewritings before with YaBB, Geeklog and older EE-Discussion-Forum etc. and therefore I had some experience.
Stefan,
good points. I think that Marcus Neto was looking at creating a tableless forum template to release on http://eetemplates.com/ but he got stuck. If you’re interested in releasing this to the public I’m sure you’d have a lot of interested ppl.
Adding another voice saying, “Dude, i would totally love it if you released this!”
oukey, let me just think about it (I’m currently totally much to busily this days)…
Stefan,
Have you thought about it? I too would love this for a current project. Your templates are so refreshingly simple!
Would love to have you post your theme files here.

I had … but there is currently no time left till mid-of-november … I will come back to this topic then, ok?
So no chance you could just post the forum theme directory which should contain all the files/images/css? Should be all we need to take a look at the code you have in place.
I would love to see this forum’s template and css as a guide.
Any chance?
yes - just a little mor patience please – as I wrote before, i’m very busy at the moment … I will come back to this topic in mid-november (in 1 or 2 weeks!)

Mid-November, people. Let’s give Stefan the breathing room he asked for.
HI Stefan
Any updates on this?
Cheers
Just checking in now in mid-January. Would love to get my hands on these templates.
HI Stefan
Any chance of you releasing this yet?
Stefan,
EE should pay you to do this. If I knew going into buying the EE Forms mod that I was stepping back into the early 2000s I would have never bought it. They should have a disclaimer when buying the forums “WARNING: The forums mode has little to no good documentation on customizing to conform to your website. Also we use tables in 2010. Have a good day”
If invision power boards can be intergraded into my design faster then I’m going to get a refund on the mod because it’s too much of a headache to deal with. I mean look at all the users that would love a div centered layout and there isn’t a single one in the theme downloads page.
Again I know I’m beating a horse into a fine powder but it would be really nice to have some solid documentation for the forums mod. With a simple how-to for an up-to-date div centered layout.
Ok done ranting.
hi folks
uuh, sorry, I forgot about this thread! I will come back soon with an update – if not, nudge me! 😉
