But I want to design my community with tables .....
How I can do that ?
You don't need tables. You can do this with CSS. Saved from an old theme:
My themes: pure | minusbaseline - My plugins: CSSedit | HTMLedit | InfiniteScroll | BirthdayModule | [all] - PM me about customizations
VanillaSkins.com - Plugins, Themes and Graphics for Vanillaforums OS
I think it isn't my answer my problem is changing to table design and you say I don't need???? Isnt it funny?
Anyone else?
@Persian Tiger
I think there is some confusion "table layout" doesn't need the
table
element. Modern development avoid using table element that is what Bleistivt is talking about.You want a layout that looks like a table? How it is achieved shouldn't matter, so long as you have the layout.
https://css-tricks.com/complete-guide-table-element/
Particularly read the section "When NOT To Use Tables"
table element is not for layout. It is for true tabular data only.
you have
display: table
for stylistic needs if necessary.grep is your friend.
Designing Main Template of Site with Tables is Not Allowed But Making Post View with Tables is Allowed
....
I want to make it with tables![;) ;)](https://open.vanillaforums.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/little/wink.png)
Making a post with table is intended for people who want to include tabular data, which is the whole point of table elements.
This not question of if it is allowed or not. You can do it. It is simply incorrect to use the table element for layout purposes.
The web is semantic, different element have a purpose. table element are for true tabular data. You want more of a tabular layout...css to the rescue.
In any case you don't have to use it, becuase you can achieve the same effect with divs and if necessary have near identical effect table element with css.

Personally, I rarely need this form of styling much as you can float elements, use inline-bock, etc.
grep is your friend.
hehehe ... you are right but actually is not displaying discussions by Table that is can I change any Other Views except DEFAULT TPL file ? ? .....
Maybe i need to change some other ...
discussions Page Was an Example ![;) ;)](https://open.vanillaforums.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/little/wink.png)
Now Any Other Ideas ???![:mrgreen: :mrgreen:](https://open.vanillaforums.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/little/mrgreen.png)
Yes you can do view overrides.
the odd view override is ok, but bare in mind it can make updating more difficult depending as you may need to update your override when a new version come out.
This is why I suggest trying to avoid view overrides unless it there absolutely no other way. If it can be done purely with css. it will save less hair pulling later.
Some themes have a lot of view overrides, and those are the one that tend to take a longer time to be update to work with new version of vanilla.
Quite a lot of things can be done with css. Occasionally you need a view override.
grep is your friend.
I khow i should Update it when New Version Comes

Always retain the vanilla css selectors in the markup as well as events or you will royally mess things up.
You probably don't even need view overrides but I can't tell if you have a good use case or a glutton for punishment.
grep is your friend.
something like this

you can achieve through css, even though they use tables.
grep is your friend.
If you insist on changing the markup, use a view override.
Oh, and read the documentation: http://docs.vanillaforums.com/theming/
