Hi,

See the part above, here, that looks like this:

Simple Machines Community Forum > SMF Development > Graphics and Templates > Themes Site > Topic: EarthMom 

that is the linktree.  It is like a tree with branches that tell the user where he is in the forum.

In earthmom, please see this screenshot for how the linktree looks:

The linktree in earthmom is shown in a TABLE with the links and information about where the user is, shown inside the blocks, and you can change the colors of the blocks by editing the styles.css.

I made the theme by editing the seemer_template.zip theme, which is a plain blue and white theme with little graphics, that you can edit the colors in the styles.css to make your own theme.  That is what I did to make earthmom, and then added some graphics.

you can find seemer_template.zip here:

I hope this answered your question.

Hello SMF SysOps,

I have a thread on my site for the current theme that I am working on called Ronaloka.  It is a dark theme.

the theme released before earthmom may not have appeared much in your theme admin panel as a new theme:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=266

DEMO:   http://heartdaughter.com/overcomers/index.php?theme=16

it is called seemer and there is a separate theme called seemer_template that you can use to make your own themes. it is easy.
I used the seemer_template to make EarthMom.

regards,

MINOR BUG FIX FOR INFOCENTER

The call to SSI for recent topics has a parameter $exclude_boards which should be set to null, or to whatever boards you wish to exclude.

in BoardIndex.template.php

look for:



$array = ssi_recentTopics($settings['number_recent_posts'] , array(1, 3), 'array');



and replace with:



$array = ssi_recentTopics($settings['number_recent_posts'], null, 'array');
