Great Module!!
Very useful, and unlike the other vBulletin/J! extensions, FREE!

Just wondering though, would it be possible to add the module suffix field to the module options?

I appreciate being able to drop html code in the boxes provided, but having a theme already setup using module suffixes as many do, it would be nice to easily configure the css to fit within the theme or template of J!.

I know this is looking a gift horse in the mouth, but if you could...

I'm not sure I understand completely what you are asking. Are you asking about designing the layout in the back-end? If so, i did it this way so that people could include/exclude columns and make them look the way they prefer. I see many modules with a "default" layout that cannot be changed unless modifying the PHP code.

If you like what I have on the home page here - CodeCall Programming - Home - I can send you that template layout.

You're site definitely looks nice, and thanx for the offer!
For the moment I am kinda locked into using the template I am set up with.

The template allows me to switch out modules styles of various color and design by adding a css suffix to the module. So div.moduletable would be div.moduletable-red or div.moduletable-blue. You add the suffix in the module options in the J! admin CP. For example I believe the 'Polls' module allows you to add a suffix in the options.

I really like the control you allow in your setup, but as my template will already try and control the look of the module (sometimes in an awkward way) the only way to change the look would be to put it in the 'pre' box of your module, but that unfortunately changes the style after J! has already has it way with it. So if i used your controls and changed the bg to blue, and J! wanted it red, i would have a module that was red at the top, blue in the middle and red on the bottom.

-or I could just drop some suffix that matches a style already in the css or a style i could add to the css, and voila! J! obeys

so thats what i meant about the suffix. A bit wordy I know, but you prob get what im sayin anyway. Thanx again.

Ok it was more simple than I thought possible.

To add a CSS style suffix (part of your J! template) to these modules, simply edit the module's .xml file!

For example, to add the new parameter to the zeroposts module open mod_vbzeroposts.xml and add this code:

<param name="moduleclass_sfx" type="text" default="" label="Module Class Suffix" description="A suffix to be applied to the css class of the module (table.moduletable), this allows individual module styling" />

You want to add this code as the first parameter under the <params> heading, above the "display_amount" parameter!

Upload the modified file.

When you go to access the module in the ACP, you will see a new field to add your custom module suffix (like -hot, -bold, -hilite, etc.)

Ive tried this on both modules vbtopposter and vbzeroposts and it worked without any problems.

Cheers!

I really think this mod is exactly what I'm looking for, yet i have no clue how to make ik look nice on my frontpage.

Could I ask if you would send me your settings as shown on the frontpage of this site?

Thanks in advance

[Jordan]

The one on the front-page of CodeCall uses the tabber class and is a highly-modified version of this component hence there is no simple HTML settings I can give you.
