This may sound wimpy, but can you highlight where it should be, like you did last time?

Thanks Derrick - centering it is good too... but still would be nice to have it under the photo. Anyone else out there who can rescue me and Derrick?

(By the way, Derrick, the last directions you gave me to add the names worked great - easy for someone like me to figure out how to do!)

attached is the coding I have for the widget:

Adding the Forum topic titles to a widget on the main page

Using Jamroom

I have a widget set up on my main page to display the latest discussion threads (both new and those that have been commented upon).

The title for each conversation shows up fine when it's a new post. But when it's something that someone has commented on, it just says "View topic". How can I make it give the title of the post when it's been updated? See attached for example.

Oh so close!!! you're going to think I'm so picky. It did add the names but they are above the profile photos, not below. Any tweaks you suggest to move them below the photos?

PS you are fabulous!

This isn't working for me... probably user error since I have absolutely no training in coding.

What I want to do is use site builder to add a widget that uses the template Widget List Grid 6 with just one change - the names of the members show up under their profile pictures. I've tried messing around with widget_list_grid_6.tpl in the template for profiles, but since I have really no idea what I'm doing....

Thanks Derrick for trying to help me out.... Any other ideas for me?

I'll keep messing around with it... I tried just putting that code into site builder and got huge profile photos - our members look too scary that large LOL.

So Derrick, I'm not clear where I put the long string of coding you posted.... Is that on the Members page (assuming that I'm using Site Builder and I'm on my Member page, where I open the widget I added to the page and click on Custom template.)

Or do I put that somewhere else and just add that last bit you gave me on the actual page using Site builder? ("using this to add it to the page in the template code editor").

So is there magic code for the Members page that would do something similar? I want to have the member photos with their names under the photos in a grid of six across. If I use the standard options in the Sage skin, I can have either a long list with names, or a grid with no names... neither of which is what I want.

That was just perfect! Thank you so much, Michael!
