Nice themes..

<edit>Shiny Blue demo (http://www.shinyblue.kalesangbayan.com/index.php)</edit>

Cool theme but no buttons.  Can't navigate around dude.  No home, admin, messages no nothing.

Would like to use it if it had just a little more functionality.

Hi Jazhawk. This theme is for SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1. You might have installed it in SMF 1.1.5.  :)

I will probably submit one of the same name and style for version 1.1.5. Thanks for trying this theme.

<edit> For version 1.1.5, download shinyblue115.zip. </edit>

To add the "my messages" and "Members" buttons, open index.template.php with your favorite editor and look for
$hide_buttons = array('pm', 'mlist');

and replace with
$hide_buttons = array();

and add the two buttons (attached) in images/english folder.

Thanks for using this theme.

Just found your theme and it is awesome!!

I am running SMF 2.0 and have one question. How can I center the menu buttons?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks josdaddy.

To center the menu, in index.template.php find
<td colspan="3" valign="middle" class="tborder" style="border-width: 1px 0 0 0; font-size: smaller;">';

and replace with (added align="center")
<td colspan="3" align="center" valign="middle" class="tborder" style="border-width: 1px 0 0 0; font-size: smaller;">';

Thank you so much JohnyB

You are welcome. I forgot about the bottom menu. Same file index.template.php, look for
<td valign="top" style="background-color: #000000;">';
template_menu();

and replace with
<td align="center" valign="top" style="background-color: #000000;">';
template_menu();

Worked like a charm. Thank you.

OK, I said I had one question, will you allow me another? :)
In the theme, what is a sub-post? How do you make a sub-post?

Thanks in advance.

Where in the theme mentioned "sub-post"?

Where it has the NEW POST, NEW SUB-POST, and the NO NEW buttons. The color key buttons?
Right above the Info Center.

Just never heard of sub-post and wanted to check it out.

By the way JohnyB, great mods with the avatarsonboard and the imagesonboard. SWEET!!!

Thanks josdaddy. :)

Subs-posts are messages posted inside subs-boards (childboards) :) If there's new post inside a sub-board, the color of board icon will be orange or comething.

I got it, just wasn't thinking. Pretty normal for me.

Great theme Johnny! :)

The Member button on menu, when showing, is raised up a bit compared to the rest.

That's the only flaw I found. :)

Great work, as always... Keep it up. :)

You can edit the members button. :) Thanks for trying/using this theme.

BurkeKnight,

I did a little edit to that button. Here it is lowered a bit.

good work. nice theme

If you want to change the background color of stickied topics, in MessageIndex.template.php find

Quote<td class="windowbg1" valign="middle" width="42%">

and replace the class="windowbg1" with
class="windowbg', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '2' :'1', '"

is there any chance of getting 4 buttons made please

forum
arcade
multiplayer
shop

thnaks

JohnyB

If you don't mind me doing it, I will attempt to make the buttons wdm2005 asked for. I just don't want to step on anyones toes by doing that.

It may take a day or two, got a busy weekend ahead.

it ok now i changed it to a dropdown menu instead thanks for the offer   ;)

@JosDaddy
   Thanks for the offered help. Appreciated.

<edit>
Extra buttons uploaded in case people need them. Like e-mail, forum, arcade, gallery, multiplayer, chat, etc..
</edit>

i just installed this them but lacks extra buttons for my packages. i saw x-tra_buttons.zip in the theme link but where should this zip be uploaded? in which file of the theme? i dont have much knowledge about codes and etc. just basic html.

Decompress the package to your PC and then upload the gif files via FTP to shinyblue115/images/english or shinyblue2b3/images/english folder if you are using the one for version 2.0.

For shinyblue2b3 and  PortaMax, in index.template.php, find
if (in_array($act, $hide_buttons))
continue;
else
echo '
<a href="', $button['href'], '">', $settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['lang_images_url'] . '/' . $act . '.gif" alt="' . $button['title'] . '" border="0" />' : $button['title'], '</a>', !empty($button['is_last']) ? '' : $context['menu_separator'];

and replace with
//-> start change PortaMx
if (in_array($act, $hide_buttons))
continue;
else
echo '
<a href="', $button['href'], '">', ($act{0} != '_' && $settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['lang_images_url'] . '/' . $act . '.gif" alt="' . $button['title'] . '" border="0" />' : $button['title']), '</a>', !empty($button['is_last']) ? '' : $context['menu_separator'];
//-> end change PortaMx */

then decompress the extra button package and add them to shinyblue2b3/images/english folder.

i already done that. so how do i make this buttons appear on top of my page align with other buttons like home, profile, etc.?

@psynx
To add a button, let's say "arcade" button, (line 300 to line 335) add like this
// The [arcade]
// if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/arcade.gif" alt="Arcade" border="0" />' : 'Arcade'), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];


To add "Shop" button, change the "arcade" to "shop".

thanks JohnyB. it works ok now.

btw one more thing, how do i let this button open in a new window like 'target=_blank' , u know what i mean? when users click this button, say 'help' button it will open in an another window.

and also, i added nneonne's shout box. the shoutbox just showed up but cannot send messages. i followed nneonne's shoutbox installation instructions to other theme but doesn't work in your index.template. any idea pls? my site is www.mirc-chatters.isgreat.org

Yup, add the target="_blank", like this.

Quote<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade" target="_blank">

Sorry, I am not too familiar with that shoutbox. I'll take a look at it when I have time.

nneonneo's shoutbox is working fine now in my site with shinyblue theme.

i am an avid fun of this theme  ;)

Cool. Good to know. Here's some tip.

Tip #1.
To enlarge the category name a bit and change the font face, edit the BoardIndex.template.php and look for
echo '
 ', $category['link'], '
replace with
echo '<span style="font-size: 18px; margin-left: 2px; font-family: Georgia;">
', $category['link'], '</span>

---

Tip #2.
To remove your forum name from the linktree, edit Index.template.php and look for
foreach ($context['linktree'] as $link_num => $tree)
{
// Show the | | |-[] Folders.
if (!$settings['linktree_inline'])
{
if ($link_num > 0)
echo str_repeat('<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_main.gif" alt="| " border="0" />', $link_num - 1), '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_side.gif" alt="|-" border="0" />';
replace with

Quoteforeach ($context['linktree'] as $link_num => $tree)
   if ($tree['name'] != $context['forum_name'])
   {
      // Show the | | |-[] Folders.
      if (!$settings['linktree_inline'])
      {
         if ($link_num > 1)
            echo str_repeat('<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_main.gif" alt="| " border="0" />', $link_num - 2), '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_side.gif" alt="|-" border="0" />';

Changes and additional statement are red in color.

hello,

could you add a banlist button pls?

and how do i make a background image in my board index page? i want to set a halloween background temporarily in my board index page. is this possible?

@psynx
Can't you use the ImagesOnBoard (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1266) mod?

Here's a banlist button.

thanks johnyB.

i just installed a stafflist link in this theme and also i need stafflist button pls?

btw, are you a  filipino?

@psynx
Here's the stafflist button you requested.  Thanks for using/trying this theme.
<offtopic> Proud to be one.</offtopic>

JohnyB, I am using this theme, it's pretty. Hate to ask but if I don't you cant say yes or no. I need three buttons;
YOUTUBE
WEBSITE
USER CP

I will be forever greatful if you can.
thank you in advance!

How do I remove the nav menue buttons at the bottom?
I can see that your support for your theme is absolute!

JohnyB,

Theme up since May '08...
Only 3 pages for support, most being for buttons, which you kindly help with...

Tells me one thing...

Like I said before, Great job on such a greatly done theme. :)

@jeddi
Here are your requested buttons. I'll add them to the extra-buttons package. To remove the bottom menu, find and comment-out.  Around line 219.
template_menu();

@BurkeKnight
Thanks for the cool compliment.  8)

JohnyB, Thank you very much for your help.
May need a bit extra help lining them up with the other menu tabs, cant seem to get that right.
The code has been given earlier but I want to know after which code it goes.

Line 300-335 doesnt work it places my button way up the left corner.
thank you! :)

I have done it, managed to add buttons in line on the main tab menue.
I fooled around a bit without success and then tried it on the default themes
Subs.php and it worked, why didnt I think of that before!

JohnyB

Could I ask you to make 3 very custom buttons for me?

Realm Info Center
Contact
Links

It's for my Realm Online Site. :)

Thank you.


EDIT:

Also, I found a strange issue...

With the smileys, I set in Current Themes, to use Classic in the Select default smiley set for this theme settings. When hit save, it resets to (use global default) and when try to do a post, the smileys do not show.
When do a properties check on the smileys, they show as being: Smileys/1/smiley.gif

Figured you may want to know that.

@jeddi
That's good. Every Admin should know or learn how to do it by theirself. ;D

@BurkeKnight
Do you have to specify the name of your board in a button? I did it for you anyway.  :)
Together with your other requested buttons. Some people might need them too.

Thanks, JohnyB...

Actually, the Realm Info Center is the hub of the site.
It's where the members go to get any and all info for playing the Realm. :)
One of my most visited sites.

JohnyB I have another but final request to complete the theme, two buttons

replies

unread

These two buttons will make me happy with my ShinBlue Theme. Also want to say your support for your theme is top class, you know your stuff.
thanks again
jeddi

@BurkeKnight
My pleasure.

@jeddi
Here are your requested buttons.

Thanks again JohnyB!

JohnyB I need one more button. I tried making it but couldnt get the colour right.

Need 'auction' with a little hammer.

bless your kind heart
jeddi

@jeddi
Not sure if I did it right so I made two copies.

JohnB, thank you! I think Im ok now and enjoying your theme. ;)

Hi JOHNYB,This theme is awesome! How does one change the title from "shiny blue" to something different? Salamat

Quote from: spincity on December 22, 2008, 05:55:34 PM
Hi JOHNYB,This theme is awesome!

Salamat.  :D

The "Shiny Blue" is an image and you can find it in default/images folder. It is called smflogo.gif.  You can edit it using photoshop or similar photo editing softwares. Or if you want to use your own image,  rename your image as smflogo.gif.

Hi, Love the theme just sent you a PM about show new replies and show new posts not showing up on my board under the shiny blue theme :)

Thanks Monsa. PM replied.

Just a quick one that I should share here :)

I had a problem with favicon's not showing in any browser. I have added the following line and it is now working just change the .png to .ico or .gif :)

in index.template.php
Find:



<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"', $context['right_to_left'] ? ' dir="rtl"' : '', '><head>

Replace with:


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"', $context['right_to_left'] ? ' dir="rtl"' : '', '><head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.png" type="image/x-icon"/>



I uploaded a favicon.ico in the root directory without doing any file edits. Most browsers (except IE) detects it automatically.

Back to the topic. :D

If anyone want to add "Show unread post..." and " Show new replies ...", edit your index.template.php.
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/mynewemail.gif" alt="" style="margin-left: 4px;" align="bottom" /></a>';
echo '
         <br /><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a>
         <br /><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a>';

you might need the attached button. Upload into shinybluexxx/images/english folder.
