Ok, this Theme is indeed not bad, im using it since yesterday but it seems that this Theme was not finished by its creator ...

I mean, i had to add many many many lines of code to let it look finished from my point of view.
Starting with the echoed head-part which is missing some statements and also the meta-keywords! - terrible for users of seo4smf and other SEO!
Warning this workaround is only for the Verion which displays the user-info ABOVE the post, not for the version which is located inside the folder "V2". Also it only dscribes it for the non-TP-Version!
The following lines (added them from the default-theme) in
index.template.php:
Add this under the meta name ="description"
<meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />
Then the following lines which has to be added in the javascript-part direct under the meta's
var smf_iso_case_folding = ', $context['server']['iso_case_folding'] ? 'true' : 'false', ';
var smf_charset = "', $context['character_set'], '";
Then lets continue with some things to let the "user-buttons(email, pm, website)" appear under the group-texts and not like in default, very ugly next to it without any styling....
In
display.template.php:By default, the avatar-part is limited to 80px in width! So when you use bigger avatars, they will put themselfes under the user-info next to it - but only in the good browsers like FF, Opera, and so on. This looks very very ugly!
In line 289 you will find the following code:
<td width="80px" align="center" valign="middle">';
Just replace the "80px" with any width you whish, for example with the maximum width you allow your users to have in their avatars.
To let the whole user-info part look a bit more tight, i just changed the following code:
In Line 282 replace this code:
<table class="titlebg" width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="font-weight: normal;table-layout: fixed; padding: 5px;">
with that code:
<table class="titlebg" width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="font-weight: normal;table-layout: fixed;">
In line 335 and 336 after this:
if ($settings['show_profile_buttons'])
{
add two <br /> by adding the following code:
echo ' <br /><br />';
so the whole part will look like:
// Show the profile, website, email address, and personal message buttons.
if ($settings['show_profile_buttons'])
{
echo ' <br /><br />';
// Don't show the profile button if you're not allowed to view the profile.
if ($message['member']['can_view_profile'])
echo '
Then, the IMHO biggest mistake is, that you will never see any "stars" from the usergroups like "admins" "moderators" "supermoderators" only from normal post-based groups like "members" and so on...
Also it aligns the whole part middle, which looks terrible if the whole part goes a bit taller (during use of bigger avatars, or else)
So lets improve the part a bit:
In Line 359 there is a part looks like this:
<td width="120px" class="smalltext">';
just overwrite it with this:
<td width="120px" class="smalltext" style="vertical-align:top; padding-top:5px;">';
direct under it in line 361 you see the following part:
// Show the post group if and only if they have no other group or the option is on, and they are in a post group.
if ((empty($settings['hide_post_group']) || $message['member']['group'] == '') && $message['member']['post_group'] != '')
echo '
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';
just replace it with the following:
// Show the Stars of either a post-group or other groups.
echo '
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';
The next thing is, when you are inside a Topic/Thread then the Topic/Thread-Title is not a link in the Link-tree, just plain text... Ok, some people would say its not important, but for me it was because even the default-theme got this nice feature and i always use it to link the topics.
So open
index.template.php againAnd in Line 394 replace this line
// Show the link, including a URL if it should have one.
echo $settings['linktree_link'] && (isset($tree['url']) && $link_num != count($context['linktree']) - 1) ? '<a href="' . $tree['url'] . '" class="nav">' . $tree['name'] . '</a>' : $tree['name'];
with this line:
// Show the link, including a URL if it should have one.
echo '<b>', $settings['linktree_link'] && isset($tree['url']) ? '<a href="' . $tree['url'] . '" class="nav">' . $tree['name'] . '</a>' : $tree['name'], '</b>';
Now we do some styling and add the missing borders around the quote-boxes....
Open
style.cssIn the class ".quote"
just add this two lines:
border-left: 2px solid #C9D1DA;
border-right: 2px solid #C9D1DA;
Do the same inside the class ".quoteheader"
Also the checkboxes dont align vertically correct...
So in the class "input.check"
just put in this style-code:
vertical-align:middle;
So now this Theme is loking good IMHO.....
But im not finished yet... ill post all other changes il make during this day...
Best Regards, Christian
