AkoBlue-Midland Combined Theme

[chadness]

OK, here's an even better SMF theme - check this out.  It should work great for those who have people access their forums both wrapped an unwrapped.  If they access it unwrapped, it will have the logo on top and the login box to the left, and all of the CSS stuff (the extra is in the file style-unwrapped.css).  If it is accessed wrapped, it won't.  (Thanks to Kindred for that handy piece of code).

Again, this needs to be added to you Mambo/Joomla template just before the </head> statement, instead of the normal code the bridge install instructs you to do:

Hey chadness, do you know if the AiM theme's working well in RC2?  As I contemplate converting to Joomla, upgrading from 1.0.5 and the old bridge, I want to make sure the theme is all good.  Great job on your efforts!

[chadness]

I was looking at this post about theme changes in RC2, and it looks like it should work, but I haven't tried it yet.  I'll update it to full RC2 compatibility soon.

[guilliam]

hi chad,.. guilliam of joomla here. will give the theme of yours a spin. thanks for sharing!

[chadness]

Hi, Guilliam, good to see you!  FYI, I'll probably be posting the RC2 version in the next few days.

[chadness]

OK, thread about the RC2 version posted here:

Hi Chadness,

I have just updated forum to SMF 1.1 RC2  with the Bridge version 1.1.4, though still using Mambo 4.5.2.(  )

Just downloaded the Custom SMF 1.1RC2 theme for use in a site integrated with Joomla or Mambo (updated midland theme RC2 version). I cannot for the life of me get it to work! 

There are no images or anything - just the writing! Tried re-uploading then deleting and re-installing.

Help,
Dave

[chadness]

That's odd.  Go in to your SMF config, in to the Current Theme settings, and check to make sure "This theme's images URL:" is set correctly.

This is the one you downloaded?

Hi Chadness,
I have checked, deleted and re-installed again.

On checking the source (from Firefox) there is no head detail - nothing above the following:

   <td width="100%" valign="top" style="padding-left: 10px;">

code goes on .......................................

Therefore there is no script or css styles attached! I am running the forum Un-Wrapped
I am wondering if your code to put in the mambo template is different from the one I have?
Cheers,
Dave

[chadness]

If the forum you are running is unwrapped, the code in the Mambo template shouldn't matter.

One thing you could do, if you are only running it unwrapped, is remove the lines that take out the headers, etc.  All the lines that look like this:

Code Select Expand


    // check to see if the forum is running wrapped in mambo or standalone...
    if (empty($_REQUEST['option'])){
and this:

Code Select Expand


    }
    //end of check to see if forum is wrapped

There should be 5 each of those.

[deejayh]

Sorry in the delay of responding.

I have done as you suggested - but still the same!

I have also just downloaded your "SMF-RC2-modified_default_theme.zip " - that has the same issues as well!!   - no headers!

Cheers,
Dave

[deejayh]

Since changing to SMF 1.1 RC2 and adding the code to the mambo template, it has effected my mambo template styles - where as before it did not!!??
I wonder if it has anything to do with the code added to to the Mambo template?

Code Select Expand

<!--SMF Forum-->
<?php
global $sc, $context, $settings;

if (!defined('SMF')){
// Get the configuration. This will tell Mambo where SMF is, and some integration settings
$database->setQuery("

$variables = $database->loadAssocList();

foreach ($variables as $variable){

As I am using rc2 does this code need to be changed:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/style.css?rc1" />

Realy scratching my head
Dave

[deejayh]

Hi,

Commenting out the following link to the style sheet helped for some style issues:

Code Select Expand

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/style.css?rc1" />

BUT .... Still need to get the AiM-Custom-SMF-theme-for-SMF-1.1-RC2 running!

Regards,
Dave

Bumpppp

[Robbie van Riet]

I want to translate the images to dutch .. but i cant remove the text in the original english images, do you have the empty image files for me or a howto for removing the text ?

[timmyo]

First of all, thanks a million for this work 

I've got things working like this so far : http://www.timodonnell.co.uk/musiconline [nofollow]

What I'm hoping to be able to do is add back in the Private Messaging part of SMF that is not in the Midland theme (which I was using) and your RC2 theme (which I am now using - I couldn't find the RC1-ified Midland one anywhere . . .)

Anyway - what is involved in putting the PM function back ?

Thanks in advance, Tim

[chadness]

Are you just looking to have an icon across the top for Private Messages?  If so, you would go to the bottom of index.template.php to the template_menu() function, and duplicate one of these lines:

Code Select Expand


<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search" onmouseover="titlebar.src=\'' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/titlebar_guest_search.gif\'" onmouseout="titlebar.src=\'' . $settings['images_url'] . '/blank.gif\'"><img border="0" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/menu/search.gif" width="40" height="40" alt="search" /></a></td>';

Change the ?action=search to ?action=pm and then make new icon pictures for the gifs.

You need to do this in three spots - there's a guest section, a regular user section, and an admin section.

Great stuff - I shall give that a go,
