Try to change the CSS or main template.

Crip · June 05, 2010, 06:47:35 PM

can't tell what's up?

Excellent theme! Thank you very much

i give up.... i have tried everything to change the logo...

i have edited the brlogo.gif, i have used the Logo image URL function.. NOTHING WORKS

i-m using:

Version Information:
Forum version: SMF 1.1.11
Current SMF version: SMF 1.1.11

anyone ? i really like this theme, but it-s useless if the Black Rain logo doesn-t get removed...

many thanks!!

alios: Have you tried creating your own image, saving it as brlogo.gif and uploading it to the images folder of the theme?

Alternatively, you could upload a different file and edit the index.template.php file to point to your new logo, which is what I did. You may have to alter the size of your image though. I did this by adding width="50%" to the relevant line, so that my edited file now looks like this:

Code Select

<body>';
	echo '
	<div id="wrap">
		<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
			<tr>
				<td>';
		echo '
		<a href="', $scripturl, '" title=""><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/Image1.png" width="50%" style="margin: 2px;" alt=""/></a>';

Mine now reads Image1.png instead of brlogo.gif, which also means that I can easily change it back if I need to.

Hope this helps

... & yes it's really simple to change logo /banner in many ways

Yes, I understand and others have the same issues .......
Did you know BR theme has Width Adjustment ? ... it's always been there since it was made : :

Ever saw this code ? ::

Code Select Expand
#wrap { margin: 0 auto 0 auto; text-align: left; width: 79%; border: 7px solid #000000; background-color: #222222; padding: 0px 30px 30px 30px; }

? width: 79%; and padding: 0px 30px 30px 30px; can adjust the theme basically to any size , width: can be 750px; or 90%;
........kind of self explanatory don't ya think?

The CSS files are huge huge - where is that code? When you change the width of the forum in the SMF interface it does nothing - I now have RC3 but in RC2 Black Rain either resized or it at least could fit on a page with no scrolling.

The other thing is once again in password boxes you cannot see anything - all is black - I think I fixed this in the past???

A while a go somebody adviced me using Firebug for Firefox for css related matters and I kept using it ever since so I can really recommend it.
You can change things and see the result realtime. So you can easily find out what part of the code changes what functions and so on.
And if you want it more advance and edit like straight in the main css file you can also use webdevelopper (also a firefox plugin).
That one I started using since a a while but as said that one is a bit more advance and offers really alot of easy functions.

BR / css/index.css near the bottom set width here :

Code Select


#br_wrap
{
	width: 1290px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding: 0px 30px 30px 30px;
	background: #222;
	border: 1px solid #000;
}

metro · July 25, 2010, 11:39:24 PM

Thanks a lot Crip -- it was set at 1280px - I see it works at px or a % like 66% etc - helpful as I looked a long time for it.

Another setting question - the top of main page where the picture logo is - like on this forum it is simple machines - that horizontal strip - which file controls it - it is too tall and I would rather put my logo lower. Thanks so much - I did all this 2 years ago and forgot it..

The space between the left hand column where the persons name and avatar is and the start of the post is very wide. Is there a way to make is narrower so there is more width for posts that may have images?

Just seems like a lot of wasted space and for wider images you have to use scroll bar.

thanks a lot

Hi guys

I'm probably being a bit dim here, but I need some help changing a link. I've changed the logo at the top of my forum to my own logo, but when I click it, it takes me to the main forum index. How do I change this to take me to the main site instead?

Crip · August 01, 2010, 02:37:02 PM

11.11 version or RC3?

Tippon · August 01, 2010, 04:41:32 PM

Sorry, 1.11.

I told you I'm being a bit dim

It's the forum at http://forum.cwmamanmusicfestival.co.uk/index.php [nofollow] if that helps

Is it your main Homepage you wanna link to?

http://www.cwmamanmusicfestival.co.uk/

If so, just make these changes below in themes [index.template.php]

Code Select


<td>
	<a href="http://www.cwmamanmusicfestival.co.uk/" title="">

.... post problems here if any ..

metro · August 09, 2010, 01:49:47 AM

:If so, just make these changes below in themes [index.template.php

n We are talking about changing the URL of the image at the top left (usually) of a forum. I looked in all parts of index.template.php and I see no mention of my image or any reference to a URL - what section is it in? If using SMF to look at this template it divides it up into 8 sections for easy viewing --

thanks a lot

Tippon · August 09, 2010, 04:59:36 PM

Sorry Crip, I've only just seen your reply. It worked brilliantly, thank you!

Metro: If you're using SMF to edit the file, it's under the section that starts on line 59, and is roughly half way down. Mine now looks like this, since I changed the image and added the link:

Code Select

<body>';
   echo '
   <div id="wrap">
      <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
         <tr>
            <td>';
      echo '
      <a href="http://www.cwmamanmusicfestival.co.uk/"', $scripturl, '" title="Cwmaman Music Festival"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/image1.png" width="50%" style="margin: 2px;" alt=""/></a>';

If you look for brlogo.gif, that's the correct line. I changed mine to image1.png to make it easier to change back if I needed to

Tippon · August 09, 2010, 06:47:11 PM

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone know of a Wordpress theme that's similar to Black Rain? My forum looks great now, but I need to redo the main site to match.

Thanks for any help

metro · August 09, 2010, 10:41:17 PM

Tippon thanks - found it on line 172 - my I am using 2.0 RC3 and my editor breaks them up differently so I just scanned the file to find my logo image. Now I know shy it was hard to find

<a href=', $scripturl, '" title="

I had to remove what was there after href -- I had been looking for an http - but of course not there. So now the image has URL of main site.

I noticed that your space between the posters info on left and the left had margin of test is normal - small while mine is too large - have to figure out how to close the space up

Examples below

metro · August 10, 2010, 01:00:37 AM

I did a search and did not fine find on this topic - I wan to install Sitemap http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=755

and did the test install and it failed on Themes/blackrain203/index.template.php but the other files it said would be fine
I found the problem a misspelling at the bottom

index.template.php black rain 203
mplate.php myself but the word copyright is spelled wrong in the index.template I have....

The one they are looking for

Code Select


<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '</li> 

The one I have 

<li class="copywrite">', theme_copyright(), '</li>

I corrected the spelling and all ok site map works

but I did delete a bit by mistake and my copy is older

after

Code Select

<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '
but before the closing      </li>

These was some test and href for ads ans create a site - also some code so now on teh bottom of my forum the link # BlackRain 2006, 2010, by Crip Crip is in the orange color fine but the first prt is in white

so if someone will post that full line many thanks - on mine it is line 396

was not added

anyway I wanted to point out the spelling error - is is spelled correctly two times but not the last time

I will have to try and figure our how to make the sitemap work
