I just installed the black theme (it's great - thanks!) but I'm getting 404 hits on some images:

/forum/Themes/black/images/headertitlesbg.gif
/forum/Themes/black/images/box_bg.gif
/forum/Themes/black/images/bbc/bbc_bg.gif
/forum/Themes/black/images/bbc/bbc_hoverbg.gif

They don't seem to be in the archive - is there somewhere I can grab them?

Indeed also a user in the german forums reported those 404's. Those images are not meant to be there - I overlooked to eliminate the call for these in the template files.

The easiest way to get rid of the 404's is this like this:
copy the images/blank.gif and name it according to the missing images.

Of course you could alternatively modify the template files and eliminate those image calls from there - which however would make you more work.

Just uploaded a patch containing these missing images and those which were reported in the german language support forums. The patch can be applied to all colors of the Aquamania Dark theme series. Applying the patch might speed up the loading time of your forum.

The patch is attached to this post:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=10475.msg143250#msg143250

Please feedback if the patch is fine or if you find more images missing. I tested on my RC1 test forum and no missing images were reported any longer there.

Hello, I wanted to report this to see if it is actually a bug or not, and if it isn't maybe somebody can help me figure it out. I have installed SMF 1.0 RC1 and applied an Aquamania theme and ever since I've done that the HELP button keeps pointing to the help file in the default theme folder (/Themes/default/help/index.italian.html) as opposed to the help file in the new theme's folder (/Themes/Aquamania/help/index.italian.html). Because I am not familiar with the internal structure of SMF I am not sure if this might be an SMF bug or possibly an Aquamania bug but I thought I'd let you know about it.

andrea

To be honest - I simply did not care yet about the help files when creating themes. I think the help files are not yet finished and suppose if they are then the help files will automatically use the current theme for the layout.

If you copy the help files to the theme's folder, it'll use them there.

Andrea I am not saying you should have extended the theme to the help files, but I am afriad I need further explanation...
I've read Unkown's solution but I am confused because if I click on the HELP button the browser tries to go to: /Themes/default/help/index.italian.html
Since there are no italian help files in the italian language pack distribution, what am I supposed to copy in the default themes folder?

andrea

I cannot try myself right now because am in the office. You can try to copy Themes/default/help/index.italian.html to Themes/xxx/help/index.italian.html

If index.italian.html does not exist then copy index.english.html and rename it to index.italian.html. Case more files look like missing copy them to.

of course you can have it just download it... it's free (as long as you don't alter it)... ain't SMF great? ;-)

more precise: its free as long as you don't alter the graphics and leave the copyright intact and as long you use it for non profit. Many people modify the theme. It is also possible to combine the graphics among the Aquamania Themes.

Speaking of which, since you don't want us to modify it, do you think you could add a CHAT button in all colours?

[Unknown]

Marcnyc... sorry, I misunderstood.  You can copy index.italian.html from index.english.html if you want something temporary.

The help files are currently not translated into many languages.

-[Unknown]

marcnyc

I see...
So since the help files are not translated, wouldn't it be smarter if SMF did always point to the english help file, regardless of the selected board language? You can always put links to the available languages in the help pages until you don't have all the languages (the help pages have a different graphic aspect anyway, you might as well escape the rule just for the help files)...

Is there a way for me to disable/remove the HELP button all together? If not, do you think that might be a nice feature to add in the future?

No, that would be stomping all over internationalization standards.

marcnyc , do you think you could look into the button directory and see that the chat.gif is already there?

My sets contain all buttons for popular mods - if I remember right it is more than 70 buttons. In addition blank buttons of every style are contained such that (and for the sole purpose) that you could create an additonal extra button case still an extra button is missing for a special mod of yours.

What you are not permitted is: modifying the button set color, removing my copyright note etc. Case you need further help in using the theme or understanding the license I will be happy to assist you.

Forgive me if I'm being thick here, but I can't find anywhere to download these styles ::)

I keep clicking on links but I'm going round and round and not finding anything I can click to download them - just more links to the same pages I've seen before.  Am I missing something here, or have you taken them down?

This is advertised as the download page "AquaMania support and download thread is here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=10475.0 " but there isn't a download link on the page (as far as I can see anyway) ???



andrea

Thanks for posting the link Uk.

@ blunt :
The files are directly attached to the posts of the download thread. Make sure you are logged in - only then you have access to the files.

It is planned that a graphics download are is set up - when this has come into being the files will be moved there...
