For some reason when I edit the stylesheet, it does not reflect my edits, even after I click apply changes? When you edit it, you see what it looks like in a little preview box - I see that change, but when I save, the forum itself does not change.

What's up? I've hit refresh, opened it in IE, FF, and Opera, so it's definitely not a refresh issue...

It's a VERY nice theme but I want to tweak it to match my main site more.

Thanks a lot for your comments guys.  ;)


Note: Theme has been updated with a fix: The Home button did not highlight when viewing the message index or display index.

Not sure what's wrong on your end, Highbuzz. I have no problem editing the style.css file on my test forum.

how do i make a new button??

i need 2 new buttons

one for my arcade and one for my shop

and possibly another one
Title: Re: DS-Natural
Post by: Bikken on June 26, 2008, 07:49:14 AM
Do these edits in index.template file.

1. Add 'arcade' to current actions array:

if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'arcade', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))

2. Find // Show the start of the tab section. and add this anywhere between the other buttons

// SMF Arcade
echo '<li><a' , $current_action=='arcade' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade"><span>' , $txt['arcade'] , '</span></a></li>';


Do the same for any other button you want to use.

^thnx

i did exactly what u said and the arcade button shows fine

but  i made another button for my shop section right after the arcade button and it doesnt show even though u can click on the area where it should be and activate it


before clicked

(http://i29.tinypic.com/wgsti9.jpg)


after u click the empty area beside the arcade button where the shop button is invisible

(http://i32.tinypic.com/r94e9u.jpg)

any ideas why the shop button isnt showing before clicked

Try replacing ' , $txt['shop'] , ' with just Shop
Title: Re: DS-Natural
Post by: dico on June 29, 2008, 02:24:40 AM
thnx

works perfect

but one question why wouldnt the new code for an arcade button not work for the shop button w/ that edit?
Title: Re: DS-Natural
Post by: Bikken on July 02, 2008, 09:58:03 AM
Because arcade uses a language string for the button text, your shop isn't.

Read more about language strings: http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=395.msg528#msg528

Hi, i like this theme but it doesnt work with the admanagement mod (ad does not display on the index page) is it possible to edit this so that the ad managment does work with the theme? because this theme rocks :D!

I noticed from someone on this forums that told me that the "Did you miss your activation email?" is not displayed properly. Do you know how i can change it so that it shows the text entirely? www.javaforums.net thanks!

I downloaded the DS Natural theme which is great.  But how can I change the logo at the top?  I right click it to see what the image is so that I can replace it but the browser does not give me an option to see it's image settings.

In the CSS file of the theme, above this:

#userarea a:link, #userarea a:visited {
color: #b43c01;
}


Modify the user area properties like this:


#userarea {
text-align: center;
padding: 3px 0;
color: #555;
}


Then both lines will fit in that space and you don't have to do anything else, the theme will remain as it is, no need to modify other parameters that might have impact on the whole layout.

I absolutely love this theme. But I'd like to ask you one or two questions on how I could get something done with this theme.

I want to add a "new "topic" button to the forum so users can see it better. But I don't know how to add it. I made this image in photoshop to show you what I'm trying to do!

Just finished testing it with SMF 1.1.7 and it seems to work flawlessly. Great work Bikken :)

@brandonroy
I think you have to put it in MessageIndex.template.php somewhere. I don't know where yet because I'm still playing around with a few things in there myself. I'll send you a PM if I ever figure it out.

Beautiful theme!

When I change the logo, the background becomes darker and it doesn't blend with the rest of the theme.  What could I be doing wrong?

When you saved it, did you use "save for web"? If so, try saving it as a jpg. Just remember to change the image type in style.css (#logo) as well.

Something I should be able to figure out but can not. Maybe you can help me. I have drop down menus in other themes why will they not work in this one. ???
Title: Re: DS-Natural
Post by: Bikken on March 27, 2010, 05:45:11 AM
This theme doesn't have a drop down by default. This thread (http://www.dzinerstudio.com/index.php?topic=2189.0) might help if you want one.

Im just wondering if anyone knows hows to get rid of the search bar.

If you go to hxxp:www.overdrivegaming.net [nonactive] you'll see that the search bar is ontop of the 2 images, is it possible to get rid of that search bar completely?

Post by: PS4DEV on September 12, 2012, 05:11:29 PM
search for a file called index.template.php in the theme folder, and open it with an editor.
Then search for a <div id="searcharea">
This "div" are openend like <div> and closed with </div>
then cut out the whole <div id="#searcharea"> ....everything between the div , most likely the input for your search ...</div>
and paste it it within the <div id="toolbar-l"> , it should look like:
<div id="toolbar-l"> <div id="#searcharea"> ....everything between the div , most likely the input for your search ...</div></div>

For the rest, use css styling
Title: Re: DS-Natural
Post by: amitkool21 on September 12, 2012, 05:59:54 PM
@PS4DEV : thanx for the info but i just removed that searchbox.

now i have a new idea here it is,

whenever i Hover my mouse on search button in top menu i get transferred to a this page >>> www.demo-not-real.com/index.php?action=search [nofollow]

i want that search button to drop like a box which opens when i hover on it or click on it.

Thank You

sort this chrome helped me inspect the fault element and track it down in the CSS file - starting to get the hang of this

All themes from DS are outdated at SMF Theme Site. I don't think that latest version will have this bug.
You can download it from dzinerstudio.com
