Hi,
I've been slowly banging my head on this for the past few days.
I want to theme my forum, and have gotten a bit stuck on how a thread list is displayed (i.e. a forum node and its associated comments). Most of the documentation I have found has been on how to theme the list of forums, or the list of forum topics, but not a list of forum threads.
A forum is made up of three type of lists that could be themed, e.g.
-Forum A <item in a forum list>
-Forum B <item in a forum list>
-Forum C <item in a forum list>
-Topic A <item in a topic list>
-Topic B <item in a topic list>
-Topic C <item in a topic list>
-Main Node <item in a thread list>
-Comment 1 <item in a thread list>
-Comment 2 <item in a thread list>
I've managed to theme the forum list and the topic list, but the thread list is leaving me a little worse for the wear.
I'm using FlatForum to theme each individual node or comment in a thread, but I want to be able to wrap the whole thread with a header and footer similar to what you see at http://www.terminus1525.ca/node/35825 Essentially at the top and bottom of each thread I want a "Add a new comment >>" link and a pager.
