Okay I just downloaded the hack. Most of us have our own versions. Dalantech as you see even calls it spacer.gif as well. In his distro he called it space.gif. Does not matter really set the path to where you placed that on the server in tbopen and tbclose<br /><br /> Now with each stylesheet they need to be renamed to an extention of css CORRECT. Do not forget in side as the instructions state to set the paths to the images you uploaded for each stylesheet.

Thank you Chuck....I'm going to work on this now... <br /><br />I'll post up a response as to how it turns out.

Tablewrapper's are pretty easy as far as a mod to install. It is basically set the path and go.<br /><br />If you are going to allow a combination of stylesheets some with wrappers and some without you might want to install the CSS Specific Wrapper hack as Dalantech's set here assumes all your stylesheet's have wrappers. What is going to happen is if you select a style that does not have wrapper assigned since you modified your base tbopen tbclose you will have ten little clear boxes on all your table corner etc.<br /><br /> If you use CSS Specific Wrapper hack in conjunction with this hack you leave a unmodified tbopen and tbclose on your server and then the modified ones you made become tbopen-stylename.tmpl tbclose-stylename.tmpl <br /><br /> After you get tablewrappers installed and if what I wrote above makes any sense let me know.

Chuck, this worries me a bit....wondering if things will look too fouled up.<br /><br />Is it easy to switch back to my old setup if this turns into too much work to fix and look right?

Sorry it's taken me so long to get to your question -I've been swamped at work lately.<br /><br />As per the instructions I've included some classes that you have to add to your style sheets, plus as Chuck said you have to edit the path to your images in the tbopen.tmpl and tbclose.tmpl files. I'll change the mod later to remove my domain name from the templates.

I've included the neccessary classes for Black and Blue, Frosted, Green Day (large and small), Info Pop, Style sheet 2 and 4, and The Blues (large and small). " <br /> <br />I've never worked with css files before...so, what exactly am I suppose to do with each of the .txt files you've included in your attachment? I have already edited them to point to the directory in which I stored the images in...but don't know what I'm to do with the .txt files beyond that. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Sounds like I'm suppose to copy and paste the text inside of them into other .css files... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Can you break this one down Barney style for me so I don't foul things up...? <br /> <br />Remember, many of us are rookies at this schtuff...except I'm a little more behind the power curve. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Go into your admin section and hit edit stylesheets <br /> <br />Go to the first one say blues.css and edit it <br /> <br />Take the code in DALANTECH'S blue.txt and copy and paste it into the css making sure to edit the paths. and then save it <br /> <br />I have attached one of my stylesheets to show you how it is suppose to be. Now mine are a little different but not much. <br /> <br />

[/]<br /><br />Hahahaa...guess you've not been following my lack of understanding this schtuff. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I only made one change to a stylesheet. I didn't do it for all of them as of yet as I wanted to understand what you were refering to. Yes, I do see the boxes on the corners and I would like to get rid of them.<br /><br />How can I rid of the boxes....? And you'll need to break it down Barney style for me as I'm slow....and I'm not too proud to admint it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Private Message me and I will take a look at where you have gotten too.<br /><br />I do not think I can be any clearer than telling ya what needs to be done and posting on of my stylesheets to show ya what the end result looks like. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hi Omegatron,<br />I have the 10 clear boxes showing like you described. You mentioned installing the CSS Specific Wrapper hack but I'm unable to find it. Do you happend to have a link to it?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Jim

All the CSS specific wrapper hack does is allow you to have the tablewrappers change with each style. If you have stylesheets now that do not have wrappers they will have the empty boxes.<br /><br />Now if your wrappers have the boxes your problem is that your spacer.gif is not set right in your tbopen and tbclose templates. In Dalantech's mod he you need to edit the path to spacer.gif where you uploaded it to your server in those files. However if you look at the file you uploaded he named it space.gif not spacer.gif so rename it if thats your problem <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, that's it.

Props to Chuck for handling the questions in this thread while I've been busy at work -thanks!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> No Biggy

...and should continue to work for future versions of Threads as long as the tbopen.tmpl and tbclose.tmpl files are used <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
