Topic: Function for printing spacing

A feature request, especially for us who are making "major" modifications to PunBB, like integrating it into the site's web design, would be to have a seperate function for the spacing table you are now putting between the elements.

I have made my own, but replacing the code in every file is time consuming:

Function PHP_PrintSpacer()
{
printf("<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3><tr><td class=line1px> </td></tr></table>\n");
}

Changing the HTML printed by the function would in fact change every spacing between elements, quite simply. smile

Not a bad idea at all. I'll work on that today.

Re: Function for printing spacing

Would it not be better to assign a class e.g. .punspacer to the <table> tag then you could control all aspects of the spacer, table tr td,  via the stylsheet.

Re: Function for printing spacing

It means that if you wanted to change the appearance of the spacing between tables, you would just edit the css-files instead of going through lots and lots of scripts.
