Sphene Community Tools

First of all, SCT is one of the most useful and best documented pre-applications I've seen so far. :)
After the setup I found some things that I'd like to change, but don't know how:

1. I'd like to truncate the thread.subject. In order to do this, I found this line in the latest_posts template file:

{% sph_truncate latestPost.subject 30 "..." %}.

What would I need to do in order to assign this to the thread.subject?

2. There is a {{ form }} in the displayPostForm.html file, whose template structure I'd like to change. Where does it lead to?


Thanks in advance, I appreciate your work on this project!

have you tried {% sph_truncate thread.subject 30 "..." %} ? :) maybe you need to {% load sph_extras %} if it is not done already.

2. There is a {{ form }} in the displayPostForm.html file, whose template structure I'd like to change. Where does it lead to?

the form is done with the django form framework. please check the forms documentation of django: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#customizing-the-form-template.

Great! Thanks for the support - I'll try and do this asap! Although I've got a major issue at the moment for which I'll have to create a new topic here in the forums. :(

Alright, I got this working now. The next thing I want to alter are the breadcrumbs in the forums. I'd like to display them in the communitydraft/.../sitetemplates/base_root.html. Is that possible? I tried loading sph extras and sph board extras, but this caused an unhandled exeption.

thanks in advance!

This should be it. I think the base_root.html needs and "if board" "else display none" statement. Otherwise it tries to pull the data from the board, but doesn't find any categories. Am I right?
