Links at the bottom of the board
Hi Guys,
Are the links at the bottom of the board (link to us; blogs; HOH and Chat) customizable or are they only controlled by Thor?
I would like to make some of these links board specific instead of directing to the Runboard chat for example and I also want to replace them with images if possible.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
Hi Jal.
Right now we have no control over them. Yesterday Thor removed the AkBBS 0.9.5b and Create your own board lines from that section.. There has been a little discussion about having those links editable though. See here
I think it would be nice to be able to customize that area as well too.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
Thanks Josh. I'll wait until Thor finishes editting that section of the board and maybe give us a bit more control over them.
I just thought that since they're showing in my board, I might as well make them board specific, rather than Runboard specific.
It's kinda useless for visitors and members to click on the "link to us" from within my board to be presented with the Runboard link to us page, when they want to link to our board/forum directly.
The same applies to the Chat link where I have my own chat room that I want members to go to, rather than the general Runboard chat page.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
Personally speaking I hope Thor replaces that line with the .bottominfobar class that is on the Runboard homepage.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
I assume you mean the content that is within that class, and not the actual class name?

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
Well, the RB homepage has both a .bottominfobar class with RB specific links and the .bottominfoline class with the login, board time and aksh form in it. If Thor included the .bottominfobar on the boards and the current link and text behavior was maintained then existing skins wouldn't have to be edited to keep the theme intact.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
In other words, you want the same content there. It doesn't matter what class name he gives it, since boards aren't controlled by the same style sheet as other pages on the site.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
Pretty much, though Thor might want to change the Datahit to Runboard and scrunch the link letter spacing just a tad (like we did in TNZ) with:
.ak_miscoptbar_table {
letter-spacing:-0.125em;
}
but using the class name he assigned for it. I only suggest that because some of the standard themes (like Tech-Blue) are not as wide as Runboards current homepage.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
As long as it has a class name, the skinners can scrunch it.
I'm pretty sure "Datahit" is the legal entity, so that's what it should say for the copyright notice.

Re: Links at the bottom of the board
Hi Guys,
All of this is good, but it still wouldn't give us control over what is shown at the bottom of our boards
