Help with theme

[skb]

I'm using a theme called Blue Piece by Crip, who I learnt is no more.
If someone else can help me, I'll be thankful.

The theme stylesheet has a #top_bar which is fine. It contains the Search & the forum stats. The stats are further defined as #board_stats. I want to remove the stats from the top_bar & place some website URLs in there.

How should I go about doing this ?

You need to edit index.template.php. If you can attach a copy of it, someone can take a look and give you tips.

Sure. Attached both the index.template & the index. And a screenshot.

index.template.php -

Code Select Expand



<div id="board_stats">
<span>', $context['common_stats']['total_posts'], '</span> ', $txt['posts_made'], ' - <span>', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], ' </span>', $txt['topics'], ' - <span>', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], '</span> ', $txt['members'], '
</div>



Replace the content of the <span> tags.

Tried a couple of times, but I didn't succeed. Can I put up URLs as board_stats. Won't I need to create another div id called as say web_links in the index first ?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Use the stats div, just replace what's there with your links -

Code Select Expand



<div id="board_stats">
<span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com">NY Times</a></span>
</div>



Then you can tinker with the formatting.

Thank you Sir Osis. I couldn't change the font color to #fff. It was being over-ridden somewhere else and appears as #000 by default. So I added a light blue background & that's fine too. Got workable links to open in new tabs.

Thanks.

When you change it to a link, it inherits the overall link style.  You can fix it like this -

In /css/index.css find this -

Code Select Expand



#board_stats span { font-size: 16px; color: #FFF; text-shadow: 1px 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);}



Change it to this -

Code Select Expand



#board_stats span a { font-size: 16px; color: #FFF; text-shadow: 1px 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);}



That will apply the style to your links.

Thank you sir. Got it.
