I'm trying to indent a checkbox category that I made so that it appears like this:

Item1
    Item1
    Item2
Item2
    Item1
    Item2
etc...

But everything I've tried wasn't working. So then I decided to try just to make it bold, but then the template needed the <strong> tags too. But the strong tags won't work in the filter. Now I'm back at square one. Cry

Does anyone know how to do this? Maybe some way to auto remove the html from the categories' names?

There may be a nicer solution in the next version of XThreads.
For now, you could essentially completely customise your editpost/newthread template, though it's somewhat ugly to do so.

Either case, it'll merely be cosmetic and the indentation won't actually signify anything.

Would that be hard to do and would that effect all or just the screens with the prefix? What exactly would I need to change or add (if even just a jist of what I need to do or a quick example would be helpful)? If the next update is coming out soon, then I think I can wait for it, but if not, could you tell me what I'd need to edit/add?

It's just HTML and maybe CSS.
You're using XThreads because you know them, right? Because if you aren't familiar with either, you shouldn't be using XThreads.

If so, just go onto a edit post page and copy+paste the HTML into your editpost and newthread templates, then tweak it to your liking.
There are a few other things, but if you can do the above, the rest should be trivial.

Yeah, I'm familiar with them. I think I've got the idea. I get the source code from the actual page through chrome to see how the buttons are made, then I just copy that code (for the buttons) into a global template with the prefix on it and that will make the changes to the new thread/edit post?

I'm just not really familiar with how the templates work, I don't know where to paste the code that I made because the code isn't the same as the source. Do I replace where it says "extra threadfields" (before post icons) with the new code?

Should my template look like this?

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>{$lang->newthread_in}</title>
{$headerinclude}
<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/post.js?ver=1400"></script>
</head>
<body>
{$header}
{$preview}
{$thread_errors}
{$attacherror}
<form action="newthread.php?fid={$fid}&amp;processed=1" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="input">
<input type="hidden" name="my_post_key" value="{$mybb->post_code}" />

(Haven't changed anything yet, just want to make sure this is how it's done)

edit:

I answered my own question by following what I posted and it worked like a charm! Not so "ugly" either. Tongue You made it seem like it'd be hard when you said that. Thank you! it works now!

edit:
Scratch that, it works and all, but now the file upload section is gone. How would I add that to the html?

edit: Nvm I think I just forgot to copy the upload part to the template! Ha ha ha. Thank you for the help!
