When displaying recent posts from the forum in your CMS, the title of the post is below the text of the post. To me, that just didn't look right.

So, I created a new template and named it vbcms_searchresult_post_toptitle and this puts the title above the content of the forum post. This is the only difference between the stock template and my template.

First, create the new template:

Go to: Style Manager

Select: Add New Template

Title: vbcms_searchresult_post_toptitle

Template:

<div class="cms_widget_post_bit">
<vb:if condition="post.posttitle">
<h4 class="cms_widget_post_header">
<a href="showthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}t={vb:raw post.threadid}">{vb:raw post.threadtitle}</a>
</h4>
</vb:if>
<p class="cms_widget_post_content">{vb:raw post.pagetext} <a href="showthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw post.postid}#post{vb:raw post.postid}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/lastpost-{vb:stylevar right}.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase go_to_last_post}" /></a></p>

<div class="meta">
<div class="cms_widget_post_userinfo"><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw userinfo}}">{vb:raw post.postuserid}{vb:raw post.username}</a> {vb:rawphrase on} {vb:date {vb:raw post.postdateline}, {vb:raw dateformat}}</div>
</div>

<vb:comment>
<div class="cms_widget_views">{vb:raw post.replycount}&nbsp;{vb:rawphrase replies}</div>
</vb:comment>
</div>

Click "SAVE" and you are done.

Now, just create your widget using the "general search" widget and configure it using the template name: vbcms_searchresult_post_toptitle
