Ning 3.0 Tip: Custom forum page with pagination and link bar.

[Bernard Lama]

Hi NCs,

When I checked for Ning 3.0 Forum layout and color scheme, I felt like my life is so boring. So I thought it would be interesting if I had changed the layout and the color scheme of forum. 

Now I did it and gonna share it. You just need to follow 2 steps.

Instruction for this implementation:

Step One: Find the attachment below and download it and open it up.

Step TWO: Go to Ning Bar> Design Studio> Custom CSS> paste the code into box> publish.

You are done.

If you like my idea of re-designing of Ning 3.0 forum page and would like to donate to my site, please do not hesitate to visit my donation page here as my yearly subscription cycle is very near lol.

If you want to change the color scheme etc. Or if you are looking for someone to re-design your ning site, directly contact me via my email id [e-mail]

Can we make the "ADD Discussion" buttons below--on this page that color and a litttle smaller like these new ones? I love that yellow/gold color! Very classy!

Thanks Suzie for liking my tip. Well, we can relocate add discussion button anywhere on the page by using javascript code or css code. But where exactly you want to relocate it?

Great tip. We need pagination in the 3.0!

[Bernard Lama]

Thanks Thiago. Well, ning 3.0 already has pagination but that's not very good looking.

[Thiago Santos de Moraes]

I did not know that. Is there pagination, like in 2.0, in forum debates? This is a great concern to me.

[Bernard Lama]

Ohh yes ning 3.0 has pagination function. It is visible only after you have sufficient number of discussions, probably more than 14 discussions.

[Thiago Santos de Moraes]

Ok, but I´m talking about a topic, not the forum feature. If we have a debate like this one in the 3.0, we will see the number of pages? For example, if I´m in page 1, can I go directly to page 4 (there are 5 pages)? This is important to serious debates, like those of my community, focused on philosophy or theology, because we have to return several times to the previous comments to understand the development of an idea.

[Bernard Lama]

Yes....that kind of pagination is already set in ning 3.0.
