Link to the theme (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=991)
(http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/area51/index.php/action,download/lemma,991/image,thumb)
A multi theme with eleven variations based (with their permission) on Dziner Studio's classic Outline.
This theme utilises a custom board layout and comes with collapsible news fader and css-based drop menus.
Colour change bars are just above the header and will light up on hover.
By default nested quotes are restricted to three.
The download works with 115, 116 and 117 and Tiny Portal versions are also available.
Live demo of TP 0.983 version here. (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=forum) Download of TP 0.983 version (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item36) and TPv1.05 version (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item37) available there too.
NOTE: This theme will not be released for SMF 2. More information here. (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=260814.msg1819426#msg1819426)
If anyone who wishes to use this theme is planning on altering the copyright please read this. (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=262536.msg1769116#msg1769116) Thank you.
ETA: Peeps, please note that the drop menus do not display in IE6. There is a warning about this in the Resources link in the theme's footer, but I thought I should mention it here as well. With IE6 you'll get a standard toolbar but that's it. The menus are script-blocker proof though.
Also note that the AzureSilk, Mircalla and Skyline options are not suitable for IE6.
ETA: It's been brought to my attention that when using Arabic the bottom image of the drop menus is misaligned. I assume other RTL languages would have the same problem. The fix is very simple.
Open style.css and go to Line 696. Replace this:
.tabs .btm-bg {
width: 205px;
height: 9px;
overflow: hidden;
clear: both;
}
with this:
.tabs .btm-bg {
width: 205px;
height: 9px;
overflow: hidden;
clear: both;
margin-right: -19px;
}
Thanks to Islam2Hamy for spotting this for me and working out the correct margin setting. :)
midnight sun ftw! nice theme!
Thanks. Actually this approval caught me by surprise. I've made some minor improvements to the css on a couple of the variations so I'll upload the file as soon as I get some more coffee into me and double check things.
Nice, thanks mate.
But, is there amy live demo?
Yeah there is. The TP 0.98 version is on display here. (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=forum)
I'm just double checking the updated css (minor details only) and then I'll sort download links for the TP versions as well.
ETA: Added demo link to the OP.
I would like to learn your css drop menu - can you share?
Grab the theme and rip the code. Tis open source. Only thing is that I based mine on one by CSSMenuMaker (linked from the Resources link in the theme footer). Even though I've altered it quite a bit they request linkback for the use of their menus so I gave them one. Just sayin'. ;)
smf 1.1.6 is not a download option even tho it shows 1.1.6 compatibility
The download works with both 115 and 116. The 116 upgrade only edits Sources files and does not affect theme files, so the same themes will work perfectly well with both.
ETA: Yes, I did test it just to make sure. I'll add a note to the OP about this.
OK thanks for the info :)
hi can you help me?
how do i add extra tabs
as i've installed
gallery blogs and links and multi game
I would like to put it as a tab
another is I'm having problem with this
it keeps on showing this
Warning: set_error_handler() expects argument 1, 'error_handler', to be a valid callback in /home/ss/htdocs/chat/index.php on line 134
I have no idea what is causing your error message. It has nothing to do with the theme itself. It's a mod issue of some sort. That aint my problem. You'll need to chase that up in the appropriate thread.
Tabs are easy. If you don't want drop menus under them just copy this format:
echo '
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='search' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">Search</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
Replace search with the appropriate action.
chat is my domain....
i'm a girl...
anyway.. how do I change the top domain? picture? where do I find it?
You're allowed to be a girl. I wont hold it against you. :P
If you want to change the banner images they're all found in the named folders inside the theme's images folder. So the default one (that says Outline Omega) is in Themes/OutlineOmega/images/Outline.
I'll make a version for SMF 2 Beta 4 as soon as I can. Shouldn't take that long.
Nice team and nice job, \m/
How can i add more options to the drop down menu, for example, make "view calendar", "view recent posts", etc, appear in "forum", below, in "tabs"

You reckon? You'll need my permission before distributing any files, and I'll require you to get it passed by the Theme Approval team here. If you can deal with that then that sounds ok. PM me with a progress report.

You can't figure that out and you reckon you can convert the theme for Beta 4? K.
Are you saying you are running one of the TP versions and want to add a drop menu under the forum button? The links you mentioned are already under the forum button. I don't get what you're asking.
Adding more links is done by simply following the format of the existing links but substituting the exact link you wish to use. I deliberately provided the release files with a stack of links as examples, some with context settings and some without. Exactly which bit is confusing you?
Ups lol :o my mistake. I wanted to say "nice theme". I'm waiting for you to put working in smf 2 beta 4 ;)
Yes i have the smf 1.1.6 with your theme TP, with the tiny portal 0.9.8 and under the forum button de drop menu doesn't appear like your demo site.
in mine only appear the drop menu in the messagen, profile and admin buttons. In the forum, search and help button's doesn't appear the drop menus
Can you show me where are the release files? I can't find it, i don't know if the drop menus are added in the admin's panel or by code
Sorry, I just checked the files again and I'd simplified the official release a bit. The menu on my demo is actually one I was trying out for my place and has a stack of added functions (including a second admin button with link to cpanel, etc, etc). What with that and the music streams I thought it was a bit much for a standard release.
Additional drop menus are added in index.template.php in the tabs section. If you want recent posts and calendar under the forum button do it like this:
if($settings['TPortal_front_type']!='boardindex')
// Show the [forum] button.
echo'
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='forum' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt['tp-forum'] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
<div class="sub">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php?action=calendar">' , $txt['viewcal'] , '</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=recent">' , $txt['viewrecent'] , '</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="btm-bg"></div>
</div>
</li>';
Any other drops you want just follow that general format and substitute the exact links you need. Post again if you get stuck.
Ok I'll try, the thing that I was looking for was that on the Control Panel it would exist that option to add drop menus on the buttons. It was much easier to add for the noob people like me lol.
Done, and now for the Help Button pls :$
There isn't any option to add drops in the admin centre. I could add that but due to the variety of links possible and the variety of context settings for them some manual editing is likely to be required anyway. Adding links manually isn't that difficult.
For the Help button you do it exactly the same way as for the Forum button or any other button. If you're looking at a button that doesn't have any drops then you need to put the drop code between the </a> and the </li>'; at the end of each button's code.
Just copy/paste everything from <div class="sub"> to </div> and change the actions and $txt to reflect what you want.
I have managed to put some, but i cannot see the names in the drop down menus, i don't know the codes... which code do i use for advanced search? >:(
Quote//Show the Search button
if ($context['allow_search'])
echo'
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='search' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[182] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
<div class="sub">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php?action=search;advanced">' , $txt['search'] , '</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="btm-bg"></div>
</div>
Check in the code i inserted the word in bold
The standard Search button already links to Advanced Search. ;)
Omega also has links to Advanced Search via the magnifying glass gif next to the search windows in the info centre and underneath the message index "jump to" box.
You understood it wrong, the drop menu from the advanced search beneath the normal search is redirecting, but it doesn't say "advanced search"
That's the code i want to know, the one that's on bold, to make the name show up on the advanced search drop menu

Ok, I get it. You want to create another language string that'll put text saying "Advanced Search" in the drop menu.
Easy. There's a standard SMF string that already does that.
Change this: $txt['search']
to this: $txt['smf298']
therefore, i also tried to write Advanced Search in the string and in the forum did not appear nothing, strange.
I gonna try SMF Standard strings
Tks
I just gave you a standard SMF string that will say "Advanced search". That's why I suggested that you use it.
Excellent theme. Beautifull work. Good job. What else? :)
Glad you like it. Dunno what's next. I'll think of something sooner or later. :)
My forum was in english but i changed it to portuguese, but the problem remains: only the submenus with no names, even when i change strings to "advanced search"
i would like to know how to change it manually, because i want to personalize the drop menus in my own way.
Ok, to run a language other than English you'll need to edit the custom strings. They're listed in languages/ThemeStrings.english.php
You can copy that file and rename it to ThemeStrings.portugese.php then edit the strings so they show whatever text you want. You don't have to edit the $txt'[whatever'] side, just the displayed text.
As an example take this string:
$txt['active_15'] = 'Active in the last 15 minutes:';
You can leave the left side alone and just translate 'Active in the last 15 minutes:' into Portugese. It'll show the translated text in the info centre instead of showing English.
Making additional strings from scratch is easy. Just use the same general format as the existing ones but name them whatever you like and put whatever text you want to see after the = sign.
Hi,
Stunning Theme,
2 questions,
I installed the USer CP mod and the profile drop down menu i want to change it to a non drop down menu which is linked to
http://www.foreverlastingfriends.co.cc/index.php?action=usercp (it needs to be of course so only logged in members can see it)
I also want to create a button tab for the treasury mod
It needs to be NON dropdown menu and just button tab linked to:
http://www.foreverlastingfriends.co.cc/index.php?action=treasury
Thank you,
Mat
UPDATE:
Also wanted to know how do i change the logo top left hand corner as i change url and still the same?
Just use this format for both buttons, but change the context setting, action and txt to suit:
// the [treasury] button
if ($context['allow_view_treasury'])
echo'
<li>
<a ' , $current_action=='treasury' ? ' class="current"' : '' , 'href="', $scripturl, '?action=treasury">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[treasury_menu] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
I'm not sure what the txt string for usercp is as I don't use that mod myself. You'll be able to get it from your default theme index.template.php
I assume the context setting would be if ($context['user']['is_logged']) but just use whatever the default theme button says.
I've never used the url box for changing logos. It's just a leftover from standard themes and I never bothered changing that section of the code. I suppose I should delete it if I update the theme.
Anyway all the logos are contained in the named images folders under the main images folder. So as an example the logo for the Outline variation is in images/Outline, while Midnight Sun's logo is in images/MidnightSun.
They're all called logo.jpg, so just overwrite them with an image having the same name and you wont need to make any code changes.
Hi,
Thanks for replying,
Where by in the custom index.temple.php file do i add that code?
Thanks
Mat
UPDATE:
I need to know where the find code is for the profile button so i can do change?
// Edit Profile... [profile]
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'])
echo'
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='profile' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[79] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
<div class="sub">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=forumProfile">' , $txt['forpro'] , '</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=theme">' , $txt['layout'] , '</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=account">' , $txt['account'] , '</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="btm-bg"></div>
</div>
</li>';
It starts on Line 593 of index.template.php. Of course if you're altered the file the line number may be different, but that should be pretty close.
Well i done the donations perfectly,
I replace the profile menu button coding to:
// the [usercp] button
if ($context['usercp'])
echo'
<li>
<a ' , $current_action=='usercp' ? ' class="current"' : '' , 'href="', $scripturl, '?action=usercp">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[usercp] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
Now in the default theme index template i seen this:
// Work out where we currently are.
$current_action = 'home';
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('admin', 'ban', 'boardrecount', 'cleanperms', 'detailedversion', 'dumpdb', 'featuresettings', 'featuresettings2', 'findmember', 'maintain', 'manageattachments', 'manageboards', 'managecalendar', 'managesearch', 'membergroups', 'modlog', 'news', 'optimizetables', 'packageget', 'packages', 'permissions', 'pgdownload', 'postsettings', 'regcenter', 'repairboards', 'reports', 'serversettings', 'serversettings2', 'smileys', 'viewErrorLog', 'viewmembers')))
$current_action = 'admin';
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('usercp','treasury','search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];
if ($context['current_action'] == 'usercp')
$current_action = 'profile';
if ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
$current_action = 'search';
if ($context['current_action'] == 'theme')
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'pick' ? 'profile' : 'admin';
But i must done that one wrong as no button showing can you tell me from what i have given what i got to do for the profile button as i changed to what i thought it be but it not?
Thank you,
Mathew
Have you put those array settings into Omega as well?
You need to have those as well as the button code itself.
all i put in the custom theme index.template was that code i posted above the first bunch of code. dont understand the array stuff
Also i logged in as non admin and the donations button dissapear it only showing to admin?
Thank you,
Mathew
All the array stuff that is in your default theme also needs to be in your custom themes for the mods to work properly. The mods edit in new array code as well as new button code.
If you can't see the donations button as an ordinary member then you probably haven't set the permissions in admin. That's a mod support question. Ask the person who wrote the mod if you need to know about admin settings for it.
Rite ok have looked but cant see a option to show to users but will look further into that.
What you mean array?
This is what i done for the profile button:
Replaced this code:
// Edit Profile... [profile]
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'])
echo'
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='profile' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[79] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
<div class="sub">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=forumProfile">' , $txt['forpro'] , '</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=theme">' , $txt['layout'] , '</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=account">' , $txt['account'] , '</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="btm-bg"></div>
</div>
</li>';
With this code:
// the [usercp] button
if ($context['current_action'] == 'usercp')
echo'
<li>
<a ' , $current_action=='usercp' ? ' class="current"' : '' , 'href="', $scripturl, '?action=usercp">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[usercp] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
I dont know what i got to add to it and where that array bit got me baffeled.
From what i gave you could you give me the code to replace the original profile button code?
That if you dont mind of course,
thank you
mathew
Ok, see all this stuff?
// Work out where we currently are.
$current_action = 'home';
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('admin', 'ban', 'boardrecount', 'cleanperms', 'detailedversion', 'dumpdb', 'featuresettings', 'featuresettings2', 'findmember', 'maintain', 'manageattachments', 'manageboards', 'managecalendar', 'managesearch', 'membergroups', 'modlog', 'news', 'optimizetables', 'packageget', 'packages', 'permissions', 'pgdownload', 'postsettings', 'regcenter', 'repairboards', 'reports', 'serversettings', 'serversettings2', 'smileys', 'viewErrorLog', 'viewmembers')))
$current_action = 'admin';
if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('usercp','treasury','search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];
if ($context['current_action'] == 'usercp')
$current_action = 'profile';
if ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
$current_action = 'search';
if ($context['current_action'] == 'theme')
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'pick' ? 'profile' : 'admin';
The same section in Omega has to contain all of that code. That's what I meant when I said mods edit array code as well as button code. The section between "// Work out where we currently are." and "// Show the start of the tab section." has to be the same as in the default theme.
Copy that section from default and use it to replace the same section in Omega (or any other custom theme).
Hi i just did and button still not showing, I copied the code you give and pasted it over the code that was in the custom index.template had no luck so to make sure i got default index.template.php and copied it from there to the custom index.template.php and button not showing.
dont understand why it not showing,
Definately enabled the UserCP via admin as i just checked.
Mat
Weird. Give me a link to that mod and I'll throw it on my local for a look.
Thanks for taking the time to help
Link: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=698 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=698)
the one you want is the first one: UserCPV2.0_Install.zip
This is the current situation:
Theres no Usercp button showing and because i replaced the profile button code there no button at all to access profiles.
Well as a temporary measure you can replace the original Profile button code. That will keep things operational.
I'll grab that mod and test it but I don't have the time to do it immediately, so you'll have to wait until tonight (my time).
Ok thanks i will leave everything as it is at the moment until you have a look,
It is 1:05AM in morning here, what time is it where you are as i will stay up?
:D Go to sleep. It's 11am here. I wont get a chance to look at this for another seven hours or so.

Hi antechinus,
any update yet? I mean have you had a look to see how i add it to the Home menu button tab list? also sent you a PM on which file and where to change .jpg to .png for my logo as .jpg no good as my logo has transparency to blend in nicely.
Thank you,
Mathew
Yes I know you sent me another PM after I told you I was watching this thread anyway and questions about the theme belonged in this thread. This was also after I added an extra line to my sig just for your benefit. Congratulations mate, you're the first person to hit my ignore list here.
I don't mind answering your posts here but you are now blocked from sending any PM's. :P
This is the reason I've been a bit slow in the update. Anyway, when I gave you the codes earlier I said to use the same context setting as was used for the UserCp button in the default theme. You used this:
if ($context['current_action'] == 'usercp')
which is not correct. You should have used:
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'] && $modSettings['usercp_enable'])
This mod also requires several other things I wouldn't have expected. This is why you should ask mod questions in the mod thread. The guys that write the mods know them backwards. The guys that write themes only know their themes (usually). The guys that write mods generally don't do themes. That's how it works. You can't expect a theme author to be familiar with every SMF mod in existence.
I'm just telling you this to save you dramas in future. I've been busy but I'll install the mod on my local now and give you the code for the button in the next hour or so.
Cheers.
First of all, sorry.
Ok thanks look forward to the code.
Also what file(s) do i have to edit so i can use my logo.png? as .jpg is no good. i need to change the .jpg in whichever file/files so it looks for logo.png not logo.jpg.
Thanks for all your help and am sorry to annoyed you.
No hard feelings I hope. ;)
Mathew
No dramas. I didn't bother getting annoyed. Got the code sorted and it looks like an interesting mod anyway. I may end up installing it at my place. Will check it out some more. Anyway code is:
// Edit Profile... [profile] if usercp is enabled
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'] && $modSettings['usercp_enable'])
echo'
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='profile' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=usercp;u=',$ID_MEMBER,'">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt['usercp'] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
//Edit Profile... [profile] if usercp is disabled
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'] && !$modSettings['usercp_enable'])
echo'
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='profile' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[79] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
<div class="sub">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=forumProfile">' , $txt['forpro'] , '</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=theme">' , $txt['layout'] , '</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?action=profile;sa=account">' , $txt['account'] , '</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="btm-bg"></div>
</div>
</li>';
That's for the buttons. You also need the following section to look like this:
// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $ID_MEMBER, $modSettings, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
You've already sorted the array codes (I think) so this should get you sorted.
Jpg's should be fine for all variations except Azure Silk, Mircalla and Skyline as these use transparencies, but if you want to use png's on the other variations just edit the relevant named css file.
For style_Clearlight.css you change the file suffix here:
#logo {
background: url(images/Clearlight/logo.jpg) no-repeat;
}
Same with the others. ;)
IT ok found it now. lol
Cheers! cant thank you enough. :)
That one is just called Outline, if you mean the one with the red banner and white background. The style css file for it is style_Outline.css
It's just in with all the other theme files.
Have the logo got to be certain size?
as look at image i attached it nothing showing, it clicable like a link of corse but no image?
Thanks
Mat
cant upload anymore but basically no logo just read now.
The logo can be anything up to 120px high and 825px wide without any code editing being necessary. If you want it bigger than that you'll need to do some edits.
What code did you use? Just copy paste the logo section you edited.
hi, just resized logo to much smaller than size you specified to try it and still nothing showing?
Do a hard refresh ( Ctrl+F5 ). If that doesn't fix it post the section of code you edited.
Hi,
It done now, damn thing my fault i update links to computer lol,
what do i have to edit so i can have my logo bigger?
it a bit small.
Thank you,
Mathew

Note that if you increase the height you will need to make new header-l, header-bg and header-r images for every variation of the theme you wish to use. No, I aint doing that for you. That's your job.
If you increase the width to more than 825 the logo will begin to cover the userarea at the right of the header when someone views the forum on a 1024 screen.
LOL,
I would not expect you to, ;)
I will leave it as it is.
I am going to ask you something ........
My logo at foreverlastingfriends.co.cc (http://foreverlastingfriends.co.cc) do you think the colours match or do you think i should change them?
Be honest!
Mat :)
Looks ok. If you decide to change it later that's easy.
Seems the drop down menus are having some conflicts with the Integrate Lightbox mod.
Image: http://www.chanzi.be/cpu/Untitled-2.jpg
As you can see, the button's text will show through the image opened in Lightbox. If I hover over a link with a drop down, it will show the drop down menu over the image aswell, sorry for not including that in the screenshot. Also sorry for PMing you for support earlier, didn't notice your sig >:(
Thanks :)
The drop menus have a z-index setting, which means that they have multiple layers. I suspect this is why they are superimposed on your image. In effect they are "higher" than the background.
I'm not familiar with that mod at all, but I'd suggest changing the mod code to add a z-index to that would be the solution. Altering the menu z-index is going to cause trouble. You really should talk to whoever made the mod first and see what they can come up with. Since I have no idea how it works anything I propose may just cause more problems.

I wish I could do that, but the mod author has been absent for quite a while now :/
Try asking in the mod thread first, with a link to my previous post as that may help. See I know a fair bit about this theme (obviously) but I don't know anything about that mod. Somebody else probably does. There are plenty of people here who know more about coding than I do.
Give it a go and if you can't turn anything up I'll take a stab at it, but I can't guarantee anything.
I just checked the mod author's profile and he's been active here in the past week. He's your best bet.
Great theme!
Great support you've provided to your customers!
How's that SMF 2.* version coming along? :)
Well it'll be ready by the time SMF 2 goes final. Hopefully it'll be ready well before then. I have a reasonable grasp of 1.1.x but haven't had a thorough look at 2 yet.
I noticed the theme was updated on 11-10-2008, what changes was made?
Thank you,
Mathew
That's funny because I didn't make any changes to the theme. Maybe one of the SMF team edited the page for some reason. Anyway the theme is still the same. I will be updating it soon though. I've hit a bug getting the colour change to work with SMF 2. As soon as that is sorted I'll submit a beta 4 version for approval and at the same time I'll replace the drop menu code with a better one I've been working on.
Of course that code would be transferable to earlier copies of the theme if anyone wanted to do this.
look forward to it.
Thanks
Mathew
Best theme in the world!!! :D
Hi,
I decided to enable users to change the theme from the outline to the others which is part of the outline theme.
One thing thou.
I decided to create my own background on one of themes i created it uploaded it and all shows well but problem is it shows as squares not stretched.
What i mean is i created a 275 x 275 pixel like the background size for the Mircalla theme i overwritten the default background for the Mircalla but like i said instead of it being stretched it shows as 275 x 275 sqaures.
What am i doing wrong?
It basically like XP / Vista wallpaper you can choose squared, centred, stretch that what i mean, i want it stretched so it looks like one pattern.
Thanks
Mathew
Dunno how to do that. I've never tried. You might have to ask in the coding help board for that one.
mmm,
you created the theme, maybe you misunderstood.
Basically the background for the Mircalla theme you have it look like a red flowery curtain file name (body-bg.jpg) i decided to create my own pattern i basically created it the same size and everything and overwrite it but instead of it looking like one curtain for example it shows more than one, see image below for what i mean.
as you can see from image it shows the background fine but like in squares form not just one image like the curtains background
link to image: (cant upload attachments for some reason)
http://www.foreverlastingfriends.com/theme.JPG
Ok, you don't want it to "stretch". What you want is for it to tile seamlessly. To do that you have to make your image so that it will match along the edges (meaning all four edges). The original background was done like this, which is why it appears to be one large image. It's something you'll have to do yourself with whatever graphics program you have available.
ok thanks.
I am using photoshop elements 6.
Thanks you,
Mathew
Hi,
Can you tell me where the button tabs are is there a limit on how many you can have?
reason why i installed Vgamers links mod and when i add a links button to the custom theme (index.template.php) it does not show correctly. please see link below of image for what i mean.
Vgamer looked at the code i made and says it is fine so all i can think of it something to do with theme that limits the number of tab buttons.
The code i used was:
// Invite Mod
if (allowedTo('invite'))
echo '
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='invite' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=invite">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt[invite_title] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=98911.msg1766195#msg1766195
I can't see anything wrong with your code so I suspect it's either a cache/cookies roblem or the new fie didn't take properly. I'd try clearing cache and cookies and doing the ol' hard refresh (Ctrl+F5). If it still looks funny overwrite the file again. Come to think of it you might as well just do that anyway.
The only limit to the number of tabs is the width of your screen. In practice this means it's always a good idea to check your theme using a 1024 resolution, since that's still the most common size. As an example, myself and my co-other admin run 1280's but I check things on a 1024 with a standard member account just to make sure. The extra admin buttons (two of them) mess things up on a 1024 but the members don't see them so it looks fine to them.
Nope tried what you said and still no good.
When you say overwrite file how do you mean? what file etc?
I basically removed the links code from index.template. redone it, cleared cache, cookies etc, done hard refresh and no joy.
I am also glad you mentioned the wide as your screen bit, i did not think of that, i just tried my site on the 1024 resolution and god it looks big, my resolution is 1600 x 900 as i have a 16.9 inch screen.
Would you do me a favour and look and see what it looks like on your 1024 resolution? reason why as my screen is widescreen it will look better but to a members view it may look terrible.
to show all menu tabs login using
Username: freddy
password: 12345678
If you dont mind as it hard for me to check if all displays ok as i am using widescreen and unusual resolution and screen size.
I would be grateful if you could tell me what it looks like.
Thank you
Mathew
Hi, if you could answer above question, i am not being inpatient it just i am posting this now aswell so you see my last aswell.
I have allowed users to change there theme as outline omega has 11 themes built into it, to change theme members have to click on links rite on top of the forum, problem is they are very hard to see, is it possible that i can change the colour of them? the names of the themes are like a dark blacky grey and almost blends in with the backgrounds.
If so which file to change colour?
Thanks
Mathew
Looks fine to me on both 1280 and 1024. No problems.
The changer buttons are set to blend with the background because I like 'em like that. Looks smooth and uncluttered when you don't want 'em and they light up on hover when you do want' em. 8)
If you want to change them it's no big drama. At the end of every named css file (like style_AzureSilk.css) you'll see this:
/* Changer buttons. */
.changer {
color:#1D1F9F;
background: transparent;
border: 1px solid #1D1F9F;
}
.changer:hover {
color: #EFF0FF;
background: #000E5F;
border: 1px solid #A8AECF;
}
The first class is the default (off hover) setting and the second class is, yep you guessed it, the lighty up colours for mouseover. Mess around with them to your heart's content.
ETA: The Simple Portal copyright is breaking the theme's footer. Give them a hard time about it. ;D It shouldn't break themes.
Thanks,
glad it shows ok. Yeah it does ruin the look the simple portal copyright. I will try in a bit to change colour of links ;)
Thank you,
Mathew
PS: just replied to thread to ask vgamer about the links button as it still the same, i also told him that it nothing to do with theme as i asked you, it is so confusing, i think i will create another button in a bit and see if that ok, if it is then something to do with the links mod if not then has to be something to do with theme somewhere.
Hi,
You know where people can change the theme style, rite above everything, i mean change from outline to outrageous etc. well those links i want to add another one to the list,
which file and where by in the file so i can add another one ???, reason why i am using the lo-fi mod and want to add it to the list so people can quickly switch to lo-fi version if wanted.
Thank you
Mathew
No problem. There are two places where that is set. The first is in index.template.php. In an unmodified 1.1.6 file it starts on Line 265.
{
if (isset($settings['allow_color_change']) && $settings['allow_color_change'] == 'bars')
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl, '" method="post">
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="AzureSilk" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Clearlight" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="KindaBlue" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="MidnightSun" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Mircalla" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Outline" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Outrageous" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="SilverMist" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Skyline" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Ultraviolet" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Verdigris" name="options[theme_color]" />
</form>';
}
You can add or delete lines from this section to add or remove options. Just copy one of the lines and change value="MidnightSun" to whatever name you wish to use.
The other place is in Settings.template.php and the procedure is the same. This starts on Line 113:
array(
'id' => 'theme_main_color',
'label' => $txt['theme_main_color'],
'options' => array(
'AzureSilk' => 'AzureSilk',
'Clearlight' => 'Clearlight',
'KindaBlue' => 'KindaBlue',
'MidnightSun' => 'MidnightSun',
'Mircalla' => 'Mircalla',
'Outline' => 'Outline',
'Outrageous' => 'Outrageous',
'SilverMist' => 'SilverMist',
'Skyline' => 'Skyline',
'Ultraviolet' => 'Ultraviolet',
'Verdigris' => 'Verdigris',
),
),
ETA: Note that this is for adding or removing theme variants. If the mod itself requires extra code you'd best ask the person who made it. For instance I suspect you'll have to change some of the code in index.template.php. The name="options[theme_color]" code may not be appropriate. As I'm not familiar with the mod itself I can't advise you on that.
Anyway, for people who do want to add an extra variant to the theme you'll also need a named css file for it (IE: style_newvariantname.css) and an images folder with the same name.
Hi,
from reading in "SMF Support 1" board, are you saying the drop menus on that theme has now changed and been improved?
if so can i update or find out what i need to do for edits?
Thank you,
Mathew
I haven't updated the 1.1.6 theme yet because I've been working on converting it for SMF 2, which quite frankly involves just a bit of work and all. ;)
At the moment the SMF 2 theme is my priority because really SMF 2 is going to be the next big thing. It is so much more advanced than 1.1.x and I'll be changing over very soon.
Currently I'm tossing up on whether or not it's worth redoing the 1.1.x version of the theme. I'm inclined not to, but I may do it after the SMF 2 version is thoroughly sorted. It would complicate the support process for me though because then I'd have two separate 1.1.x themes to support. The difference is largely aesthetic, in that with the newer menu system the currently selected tab stays highlighted like a normal SMF menu. So IMO it looks nicer but in terms of actual functionality there is no real difference.
Please Help :'(
I have two friends,
one uses XP and IE7 and they also use FireFox (all latest versions), when they hover mouse over menu tabs no drop menus shows in both browsers.
Now my other friend uses XP and Slim Browser she is also having same problem. (she has latest version of slim browser)
I find it strange thou as i have Vista and tested IE7, FireFox and Slim Browser and no problems on my computer.
I am concerned maybe this is happening to most of my visitors and could be causing people not to register etc.
What can i do as people are not able to see the drop menus?
I will pay if it means altering the code to a better more supported drop menu system.
Thank you,
Mathew
I have no idea what their problem is, because the theme was designed and tested on XP with Firefox 3, IE 6 and 7, Safari and Opera. The only thing I can think of is that they never clean out their cache and cookies. Some people are like that. In that case since you have been altering the code fairly frequently their old cache could be messing up the display for them.
Have you asked them about this? If they're the sort of people who don't even know where to find and clear their cache this is the most likely explanation.
Ask them. If they haven't been clearing their browser tell them how to do it. See if that helps. Don't forget the hard refresh.
Instructions for the javascript preload code are in this post. (http://www.dzinerstudio.com/index.php?topic=2189.msg16827#msg16827)
Note that the script will only preload images if you get the paths to them correct. So as an example if you wanted to preload the drop menu images for the Azure Silk variant in Omega you'd need to add these to the array:
"/images/AzureSilk/submenu_top.png",
"/images/AzureSilk/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/AzureSilk/submenu_bottom.png"
Also note that you should only preload the images you need to. Don't get carried away trying to preload every image on your site, because nothing else will render until they have loaded. Some small menu images don't slow things up noticeably.
Thanks,
Just two things,
I have all the themes that come with outline omega enabled so people can choose between them, will it be ok to add all the drop menus for each theme to the script? or am i asking for trouble?
also do i just add it to custom theme index.template.php only?
Thanks,
Mathew
Also where it says find:
echo '
</head>
<body>';
}
that is not in my custom theme index.template.php,
Yes you just add it to the index.template.
Because there are so many images in total in Omega I'd start by just loading all the submenu_bg images. That will at least give the background to the drop menu text instantly, which is what is really required. The fancy rounded bits will sort themselves out while the menus are being used.
Of course you can add all the others as well if you like. Given that they're only very small images I wouldn't think they'd have much of an effect on your load time but I haven't done any testing on that.
ETA: Just add it before the </head> tag. You'll also need to add the required '; after the existing </script> or the echo' for the new code will cause a parse error. Do it like this:
echo '
document.getElementById("upshrink_ic").src = smf_images_url + ' . '"/'. $settings['theme_main_color'] . '" + (mode ? "/expand.gif" : "/collapse.gif");
document.getElementById("upshrinkHeaderIC").style.display = mode ? "none" : "";
current_header_ic = mode;
}
// ]]></script>';
echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
var PreloadImages = new Array(
"/images/submenu_top.png",
"/images/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/submenu_bottom.png"
);
var myImages = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < PreloadImages.length; i++)
{
myImages[i] = new Image();
myImages[i].src = "'. $settings['theme_url'] .'" + PreloadImages[i];
}
// ]]></script>';
echo'
</head>
<body>
If you dont mind will you add the script for me in my file and i then just go ahead and edit the urls for the images?
dont want to mess it up.
Cannot attach file but you can download it here: and then once edited attach it to your post for me please.
LINK TO DOWNLOAD (http://www.yuntaa.com/FileManager/DownloadAuthentication.aspx?download=&ContentID=5A81EFC4F0BA3EBDE04400144FB7B71E)
Thanks
Mathew
Done.
Thank you,
Just one more thing, sorry.
where it says for example in code:
"/images/submenu_top.png",
the location to the submenu images on my site is:
/Themes/OutlineOmega_115/images/theme_name/
do i need to add for example before the image name: /Themes/OutlineOmega_115/images/theme_name/ ???
so example:
the outline theme would show in code script as:
/Themes/OutlineOmega_115/images/outline/submenu_top.png
Thank you,
Mathew
The code is not theme specific. IOW, it can be added to any theme as is since it automatically calls the theme url.
You only need to start with images/ etc. With Omega I did use capital letters to name the variants so make sure you include the initial capital. For example: images/Outline/submenu_top.png
I used the capital because that's what I was taught to use for proper nouns. This all-lower-case stuff gives me the irrits. :P
LOL, i like things with capitals
Well this is what i done:
"/images/Outline/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/Clearlight/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/KindaBlue/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/MidnightSun/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/Mircalla/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/Outrageous/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/SilverMist/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/Skyline/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/Ultraviolet/submenu_bg.png",
"/images/Verdigris/submenu_bg.png",
Will you now please visit my website, clear cache etc before hand and tell me if you think it loads slower/maybe to slow ???
I notice a slight holdback but seems fine, just thought i would ask as server is UK, so people from other countrys maybe even slower.
Oh before you say it i left out the "AzureSilk" and i did not list them alphabetical order :P
Thank you,
Mathew
Hey you can't do that. If you leave out Azure Silk and don't get them in alphabetical order your server will crash. Seriously.
Yeah ok. I made that bit up. Seems to load fine. The images are only circa 200 bytes each so the total for the ten of them is only 2kB all up. That's about the same as one of the header corner images. IOW, it's negligible. Frankly you could put all the drop menu images in the array but it depends how long a list you want to deal with. Just putting in the backgrounds will deal with the worst of it. Up to you.
Great, thanks for checking. Just got worried it may have taken a longtime to load, that why i thought ask you as you not in UK where server is located.
I did actually first type in all of them in the list all the submenu ones but decided not to and just go for the main submenu_bg.png
I will leave it as it is.
Kindest Regards, Always
Mathew
Hi,
I went over and sorted my friends computer and i formatted her computer. Every browser now shows the drop menus fine but IE6 does not.
Are you aware that IE6 is not compatible with the outline omega theme? basically for some reason drop menus does not show in IE6, IE6 is also not compatible with PNG lol
considering it is a Microsoft browser I thought IE6 would have been compatible.
Mathew
Of course I'm aware of that. I clearly stated that in the OP of this thread and in the resources page that is linked from the theme's footer. Here's a quote from resources.html:
QuoteImportant information.
Please note that if you are concerned about members using Internet Explorer 6 it is suggested that you leave all critical functions in the standard toolbar and only use the drop menus for accessories.
Due to the css-based nature of these menus they will not display in obsolete browsers. However they will happily bypass script blockers and in a decent browser will be fully functional with javascript disabled.
Also note that due to the use of png transparencies the AzureSilk, Mircalla and Skyline options will not be suitable for IE6. If anyone wishes to use AzureSlk, Mircalla or Skyline it is their responsibility to ensure their browser is up to date.
Support for IE6 is provided by the other eight options. Like many modern themes this theme does not support IE5. I hope you enjoy using this theme as much as I do, and thanks again to everyone who provided resources.
I am not the slightest bit interested in anyone who is too stubborn to upgrade from IE6 when there are better alternatives available, even from Microsoft, and they're all free. There is simply no reasonable excuse for it. IE6 always causes problems for anyone involved in site design and/or administration. It's a piece of crap. Don't encourage idiots to use it because they'll only complain at you and make more damned work for you. Give them links to decent browsers.
Just to clarify: it is only png transparencies that IE6 cannot deal with. Opaque png images are no problem.
PNG is not a Microsoft format and Microsoft are wankers in any case. Are you aware that all other browsers apart from any version of IE will show translucency in solid css colours by the simple use of the W3-approved code format opacity: 0.9; ?
You can use any number from 0 to 1.0 and it'll work, except with IE. For IE you need to use Microsoft's idiotically complicated "filter" code, which requires different versions for each version of IE and which will break XHTML validation on your theme. That's how stupid and arrogant Microsoft is. Don't ever encourage anyone to use any version of IE. It totally sux.
Here endeth the lesson. :D
ETA: Here is what I have linked from my front page. I don't give them any room for excuses.

I agree, Microsoft are certainly fools. I am not really bothered as many people are either now using IE7 which is fine or other better browser.
I installed Firefox on her computer and she loves it. Once i told her about all the gadgets and gizmos, themes etc she can install and how much more secure and faster it is she was like a child with a new toy ;D
It is annoying like you said for web designers as i can understand there frustration. Oh well who cares? because I don't, life goes on and so should Microsoft.
Is this theme compatible with Tiny Portal? I was checking there website as allot of people go on about it and i must say i am really thinking of ditching simple portal as tiny portal seems much better, dont meen to be or sound horrible but personal preference for my site.
Mathew
There are versions of the theme available for both TP 0.983 and TPv1.05. Download links are in the OP.
Simple Portal is (or rather originally was) designed as the simplest alternative for people who were more comfortable with that. TP is vastly more capable but also has more things to keep track of. I use 0.983 and have had it for eleven months now. I find it very good and not at all hard to run.
ETA: Oh, and the thread title above every post does mention TP. Just sayin'.
Hi,
I just installed the 'OutlineOmega_115.zip' theme on my SMF 1.1.6 test website, i then installed latest version of Tiny Portal and it works 100% with Tiny Portal.
So i do not have to download the tiny portal compatible outline omega theme :D
Mathew
Yes if you use TPv1.0 it will work with a 1.1.6 version of the theme, except that you will need to manually add the forum button. That's the only difference.

Great! Got to install this baby tonight, i do notice tiny portal is a few seconds longer on loading but it solves many problems i want to rectify. :D
I hope there website tinyportal.net will be backup soon as they been doing server change all day and it still down
Thank you,
Mathew
Hi Guys,
I've got a small problem after installing the theme.
Theme looks great, but I'am keep getting this error:
8: Undefined variable: modSettings
This error comes with:
~forum/Themes/default/Login.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
~forum/Themes/default/Errors.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
~forum/Themes/default/Register.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
And all of the errors refers to line 667.
I believe it refers to line 667 of the index.template.php of the Outline theme.
And on that line is:
<input type="text" name="cookielength" id="cookielength2" size="12" style="margin: 0 0 0 10px;" maxlength="4" value="', $modSettings['cookieTime'], '" /></label>
I added $modsettings to this line (473)
// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modsettings;
// Work out where we currently are.
But no luck.
Could someone please advice how I can clean up this error?
Thanks.
You have either the wrong theme or the wrong template. Line 667 from Omega's index.template is this:
</a>
Hello, great theme! After using the initial Outline - I think my users started to interact the forum a lot!
Now, this OutlineOmega is suuper sweet with the menus.
I have a question: are the templates (.psd or .xcf or etc) for the logos available for download ?
I'd like to have a separate logo (just text to be changed) for each of the available color schemes, because they are best there can be - I can't ever come up with suitable backgrounds matching the existing ones - I'm graphically clueless :)
Thanks!
I haven't made a pack pf psd's yet but I'll knock one up, since I have the psd's themselves. I'll post it up tonight.
For anyone who wants to use just the background and put custom graphics over it the best way is to grab the header-bg images and scale them for width. As standard they're only one or two px wide but any graphics program can stretch them out to your logo width.
@ toobeus4u: the theme doesn't generate that error in standard form. What have you done to it?

Hi,
line 667 of the index.template of Outline is
<input type="text" name="cookielength" id="cookielength2" size="12" style="margin: 0 0 0 10px;" maxlength="4" value="', $modSettings['cookieTime'], '" /></label>
What did I do, if added the Simple Portal Classic code to the theme.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104
That is the only mod so far.
Ask the Simple Portal guys then. It's their mod. Like I said, Line 667 of Outline Omega's index.template.php does not contain the code you posted. I don't know anything about Simple Portal.

ok, thanks for the answer.
I'll install your theme again first.
Thanks
Hi,
How can i make the quote back to default please?
I don't want to sound rude or criticising but i prefer the default quote border etc like this:
QuoteHello I am a Quote ;D
The theme uses a thin red line border and the background of a quote is not much difference to colour background of a normal post/reply.
Thank you,
Mathew
It's in the css files.
/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
.quote {
color: #3A3A3A;
border-top: 1px solid #A90329;
border-left: 1px solid #A90329;
border-bottom: 1px solid #A90329;
}
I didn't set a background so they just show whatever the post background is. If you want an even border you don't need to set it for every side, You can just use this:
/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
.quote {
color: #3A3A3A;
background: #whateveryoulike;
border: 1px solid #A90329;
}
Perfect! Thanks
Mathew
I am trying to get rid of the three text links below the user name on the top banner.
Utilizing the mod: "unread" and "replies" tabs for main menu
I am reposting my post from the mod thread here, perhaps there is a quick and simple solve for this:

Outline Omega uses drop down menus so things look a little different:

Unfortunately this doesn't work and most likely due to my user error, I honestly am not sure how this should be edited.
Could someone help me out with this?
I would like to:
1. add the new selections to the dropdown menu as opposed to adding new buttons
2. remove the text below the user name
Thanks in advance,

RAV TUX: Where do you want my buttons? As main items or "subs" (and subs of what)?
The theme version is: OutlineOmega_115 (1.1)
SMF version: Powered by SMF 1.1.7
mod version: Unread and Replies Tabs in Main Menu 2.0
Subs of main menu: "Home"...first and second position.
search is currently in position one this can be replaced/removed since it is already a main menu item.
Home>
1. Unread Post
2. New Replies to Post
3. View Recent Post
4. View Memberlist
5. Search Memberlist
Also if you could create a sub for message notification (ie. you have 3 messages, 0 are new.)
This would be a great first position sub under the main messages.
Then all the text links under the: Hello username could be removed.
Thanks in advance I appreciate the help.

Reposting the above two quotes here in hopes that the theme mod may know a quick fix for this.
Reference two forums that we use the OutlineOmega Theme in:
http://www.xubuntuforums.org/
http://www.cafelinux.org/forum/
On both of these in some smaller monitors the top banner link to the main forum, squeezes off the 3 user links under the username at the top of the page. That is a bug in the theme at best, I think?...but I would like to remove all three text links and add them to the drop down menus as stated in the quoutes above.
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.
RAV TUX
The theme is designed to be fine on anything down to a 1024 resolution (ie: the standard for web pages these days). If you want it to work on a palaeolithic* 800 or less then yes, you'll need to tweak it a bit.
The standard css allows for banners up to 825px wide, which on a 1024 will not obscure the links at the right hand side. For narrower screens you can use a narrower banner.
Removing the links is very simple. Look for this in your index.template.php:
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '
<b>', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'], '</b><br />';
// Only tell them about their messages if they can read their messages!
if ($context['allow_pm'])
echo $txt[152], ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $context['user']['messages'], ' ', $context['user']['messages'] != 1 ? $txt[153] : $txt[471], '</a>', $txt['newmessages4'], ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'], ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'] == 1 ? $txt['newmessages0'] : $txt['newmessages1'] , '.<br />';
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a><br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a><br />';
}
Change to:
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '
<b>', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'], '</b><br />';
}
As for your extra drop menu links, you have made a trivial error in the syntax.
You need to change this:
echo'
<li><a href="index.php?action=unreadreplies">' , $txt['unreadreplies'] , '</a></li>
to this:
echo'
<li><a href="index.php?action=unreadreplies">' , $txt['unreadreplies'] , '</a></li>';
*means "old stone age" ;)

I haven't made a pack pf psd's yet but I'll knock one up, since I have the psd's themselves. I'll post it up tonight.
For anyone who wants to use just the background and put custom graphics over it the best way is to grab the header-bg images and scale them for width. As standard they're only one or two px wide but any graphics program can stretch them out to your logo width.
I was instrested in the fonts too :) not only the backgrounds (even if I did not said it). Maybe if you can post the font names used in the logos it should be enough (I never used Photoshop, I'm a GIMP beginner but I think I can manage).
Thanks!
Thanks!
Ok, I'll get onto it. There were one or two of the logos that I didn't save complete psd's for (stupid me, should know better) but I have most of them and can probably reconstruct the others with a bit of messing around.

Ask the Simple Portal guys then. It's their mod. Like I said, Line 667 of Outline Omega's index.template.php does not contain the code you posted. I don't know anything about Simple Portal.
ok, thanks for the answer.
I'll install your theme again first.
Thanks
I've installed a fresh theme, with no mods.
Again the error (8: Undefined variable: modSettings), now on line 647, but the code is the same as before:
<input type="text" name="cookielength" id="cookielength2" size="12" style="margin: 0 0 0 10px;" maxlength="4" value="', $modSettings['cookieTime'], '" /></label>
Have you got any idea where I can define the $modsettings?
Few examples of the error again:
public_html/forum/Themes/default/Login.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)

Try this:
// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

Thanks,
I had tried it before, with the portal mod code in the index as well.
Then no luck, I eddited the code an hour ago, so far so good.
Thanks.
Wonderful theme! However, I noticed (and maybe it's just my crazy computer) that the url for the header is "covering" the unread topics, messages and recent replies in the header area. It's this way on my site and when I looked at genieuk's site, too. Can you look into this for me and let me know what I should change?
That will depend on your screen resolution. The standard code provides for a logo up to 825px wide. This will totally fill the header on a 1024 screen but leave the links clear on a 1280. If you want the links clear on a 1024 simply use a narrower logo. There is no need to change the code since any space not filled by the logo image will remain transparent anyway.

Thanks so much! Worked like a charm. Now I'm going to try to follow the instructions on creating another drop down menu. This theme is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
No worries. If you get stuck just post again.
Ok, I am having a few issues. I have Community Blog installed on my forum and I tracked down an issue that I had with the TinyPortal blocks not disappearing in the blog section, even though I have it set to do so. It's a bit of TinyPortal code that I need to add to my index.template.php
I'm having a bit of trouble adding it to the theme, though. This is the bit of code that won't "fit".
';
// TinyPortal
if($context['TPortal']['leftbar'])
echo '<td style="padding-left: 1ex;"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="shrinkHeaderLeftbar(!current_leftbar); return false;"><img id="upshrinkLeftbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_leftbar']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTempLeftbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="margin-right: 0ex;" /></td>';
if($context['TPortal']['rightbar'])
echo '<td style="padding-left: 1ex;"><a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="shrinkHeaderRightbar(!current_rightbar); return false;"><img id="upshrinkRightbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_rightbar']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTempRightbar" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="margin-right: 0ex;" /></td>';
// TinyPortal end
echo '
I believe this is the problem because I was having the same issue with another theme I considered (until I found this one). I manually installed TinyPortal on the index.template and now the issue has gone away. This is the only bit of code that I can't fit on this theme.
Thank you, again.
I have a radical suggestion for you: download the TP-compatible version of the theme.
There's a link to the download in the OP of this thread. Do it. You know you want to. 8)

Oh! I didn't even see that! Thanks! But it's still not working and that bit of code isn't in there. I know it said something about an unexpected table. The other theme had tables so I could add it. Any suggestions on how I could get that bit of code in there?
That bit of code is in there. I run the TP 0.983 version of the theme on a forum I admin and the column collapse code is fully functional. I have even set the column codes, using custom css settings that compensate for different browsers, so that the TP columns sit flush with the forum instead of being stepped. I know that code, kiddo.
If you don't have it you have probably downloaded the version for TP v1.0, which is different.
This is the one you want for TP 0.983: OutlineOmega_TP (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item36)
You can see that version of the theme on the demo/download forum and test the column collapse yourself. It is the default theme there.
Oops, I had that version when it was the 1.0.5 I needed. I think I should take a caffeine break. Thanks again!
TP v1.0 does not require anything to be added to a basic SMF theme apart from the forum button. Everything else is handled by TP v1.0 itself and installs with the portal.
TP 0.983 is different and does require the code you posted to be in the theme template before installing TP.
Actually I'll add those direct download links to the OP and label them clearly to save confusion in future.
Hmm, I added the Blog code to the index.template again and it still won't work. I'm using the right theme now but for some reason, those blocks will not disappear from the blogs and the skin is missing on the blog index page.
Well you'd better have a chat to whoever made that mod because I've never used it. It may not even be meant to do what you want it to do. I really couldn't say.
Ok, I'll look into that with them. This theme for 1.0.5 seems to be a little different, no drop down menu. I would need to edit the index.template as well as the style.css, right?
It runs exactly the same menu as the SMF-only and TP 0.983 versions of the theme.
I'm not sure what I did wrong but this is the way my menu came out.
http://www.happycurls.com
Damn that's pink. 8)
Meh. :P Where is teh head banging against teh wall smiley when I need one? :D
What you have done is to download a much older theme called Outline Multi. This was the ancestor of Omega and no, it does not have drop menus. It also only has eight variations instead of eleven, and it doesn't have teh nifty lighty up effect on the theme change buttons.
You want this one. (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item37)
Good googley moogley!! All I can do is laugh at myself. And I've been modifying each theme as I uploaded it, lol. Thanks for putting up with me. I'm going to have to start fresh in the morning, I can't paste another code tonight. Thanks again!
No worries. Sleep first, coffee in the morning. Never code before coffee. It's lethal. :D
Just in case anyone was wondering I've decided not to release this theme for SMF 2. What I will do instead is to release the eleven variations as individual themes. Doing it as one multi would be too unwieldy because of the way SMF 2 is coded. I can do a better job of the themes by releasing them as singles. Most people have theme change boxes these days anyway.
The themes will still share the same templates, which means if you want install mods you only need to figure out the edits for one of the themes and the same will apply to the others. Like the 1.1.x multi the SMF 2 single themes will come with customised BoardIndex and MessageIndex templates, so some manual editing for mods will be necessary depending on what you want to install.
If anyone is running a forum without a theme change box and wants to be able to change themes like Omega (ie: using clickable buttons above the header) I will provide instructions for setting this up as a custom addition to the themes. ;)
Oops, having another problem. Ad management doesn't want to work with this theme properly. I finally got the top ads to "work" by adding a '; behind the body tag and an echo ' after the code. Then it started looking like this:
(http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/atlantisrising73/ibrokeit.jpg)
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Yeppers, it would do that. The shadow images each side of the header are matched to the body background image. What you've done is push the header down relative to the body by putting your ad block up top. This results in mismatched gradients.
The fix is quite simple: all you have to do is get the body-bg.gif image and add a strip to the top of it. Of course you will need to do this for all variations of the theme that you wish to use as most of them don't use the same body-bg.gif image.
If you have a basic graphics program with a colour picker just grab the hex code for the top pixels of the existing image and make a taller image with that colour as background, then paste the existing image on top of that (aligned at the bottom, of course) and save. You'll probably have to play around a little bit to get the height right but one or two pixels out either way shouldn't be noticeable as the gradient isn't all that steep.
Thanks! I'm off to work now but I'll be playing with this later on tonight!
Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!
Hello
I'm using this style for my forums. I got 2 different color themes, one blue and one red. I'd like to change the name of the themes in the theme changer at the very top of the page. Like, I want to rename "KindaBlue" to e.g "Blue Style".
Is this possible?
Thanks
Sure. They're named in two places. The first one only affects the name shown in your admin centre, but it's a good idea to do this anyway. Saves confusion later on.
Settings.template.php
array(
'id' => 'theme_main_color',
'label' => $txt['theme_main_color'],
'options' => array(
'AzureSilk' => 'AzureSilk',
'Clearlight' => 'Clearlight',
'KindaBlue' => 'KindaBlue',
'MidnightSun' => 'MidnightSun',
'Mircalla' => 'Mircalla',
'Outline' => 'Outline',
'Outrageous' => 'Outrageous',
'SilverMist' => 'SilverMist',
'Skyline' => 'Skyline',
'Ultraviolet' => 'Ultraviolet',
'Verdigris' => 'Verdigris',
),
),
Just change the names to whatever you want.
Next is index.template.php
{
if (isset($settings['allow_color_change']) && $settings['allow_color_change'] == 'bars')
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl, '" method="post">
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="AzureSilk" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Clearlight" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="KindaBlue" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="MidnightSun" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Mircalla" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Outline" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Outrageous" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="SilverMist" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Skyline" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Ultraviolet" name="options[theme_color]" />
<input style="cursor: pointer; font-size: 9px;" type="submit" class="changer" value="Verdigris" name="options[theme_color]" />
</form>';
}
Once again you just change them to suit. You will also have to rename the css file for that variation of the theme. So as an example you'd rename style_AzureSilk.css to style_Blue Style.css if you wanted to call it Blue Style.
Lovely, thank you.
Hello again.
I seem to have a problem regarding the renaming of the color changer. Whenever a guest sees my site, it's always white (no images).. hope i made myself clear :S
Have you renamed the stylesheet correctly?
This is a beautiful theme so far.
The only problem is the color change links aren't showing up at all when I try using it.
They're coded to be barely noticeable when your cursor is not over them. I prefer them that way but if you'd like them to be more visible off hover then the css is easy to change.
Oh no, I mean they're not showing up at all. I took a look at the demo to be absolutely sure. The links just aren't there for some reason. :(
Admin >> Current Theme >> Theme Options and Preferences >> Allow color change on home page? >> Select "Show as clickable bars" >> Save.
Oh! Thank you very much! :D
You're welcome. I set it so that showing the links is the default setting but for some reason (don't ask me why) the software requires you to hit "Save" to kickstart the links after installing the theme or else they wont show. Computers. Meh.
Forgive me, I'm REALLY new at this. I love this theme, I am working on setting up a site and I can't figure this part out. When I use the default theme it displays my forum title on the top. When I put in this theme, it displays the name of the theme, instead of the forum title. I'd like it to display the forum title instead of the theme name, and leave everything else as is. I have searched and searched and I must just be missing something, it seems no one else is having this problem. I do have my forum name in the settings, I just can't figure out how to get it to display. Thanks!
That's because this theme doesn't have that feature. A lot of custom themes don't. The idea is that you make your own banner with whatever name you like. Which reminds me: I must upload those psd files for the banners.
Oh, ok. I can get around that, no sweat.
Now I have another small issue though. The view unread posts and view new replies links on the header are not working, they simply redirect me back to the index/home page (the action=unread part does not show up in the address bar). The ones on the footer seem to work, and if I go to another theme the header ones work fine, so I'm thinking it is a problem with this theme. I'm pretty new to coding and couldn't really pinpoint if/where there was a problem. Any thoughts?
They work for me. I run Omega as the site default. I'm not sure why they wouldn't work for you.
I have it set as the default. I have also re-uploaded the original files and the problem still exists. Can you direct me to the section of coding where the commands are and what it should look like?
index.template.php
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '
<b>', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' ', $context['user']['name'], '</b><br />';
// Only tell them about their messages if they can read their messages!
if ($context['allow_pm'])
echo $txt[152], ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $context['user']['messages'], ' ', $context['user']['messages'] != 1 ? $txt[153] : $txt[471], '</a>', $txt['newmessages4'], ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'], ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'] == 1 ? $txt['newmessages0'] : $txt['newmessages1'] , '.<br />';
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unread">', $txt['unread_since_visit'], '</a><br />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a><br />';
}
Hm. Well, the coding seems right but it still doesn't work. I'm still just getting the index page. When i click on messages it sends me to the index page too. Bummer.
Someone else reported that with another theme this morning but these are the only times I've ever heard of this happening. That exact code is in several different themes and seems to work in all of them so at the moment I really don't know what is going on.
ETA: You do realise they'll only work when you are logged in?
Yep. I'm logged in. And I have my other users reporting the same difficulties. And the problem is only the links in the header, and if I switch to the default theme everything works fine. Thanks for your help, I'll keep checking and see if anyone comes up with a reason or solution.
Can you link me to your site with a test account? PM me if you like.
First let me thank you for the awesome theme! It's just gorgeous! 8)
And I wonder, if it's possible to upload the psd-files for the logos, so that I'm able to modify them for my little board? :)
Thanks in advance!
Greets
Neph
Oh yeah, I keep saying I'll do that and then forgetting because of so many other things. I'll try to remember tonight.
That would be awesome! I'll wait patiently.
Thank you! :D
Ok, I remembered. Fancy that. Wonders will never cease. :D
PSD's are here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?action=download;lemma=991;id=8601
I forgot to save two of them (Outrageous and Skyline) but the other nine are in the zip. Enjoy.
Thanks so much! :D
I'll have a look, how to modify the two logos for my little board. Especially the Outrageous seems to become the most favorite design for my female users. ;D
Best wishes
Neph :)
May I ask for help once more?
I set up a testboard with SMF 1.1.8 and TP 0.9.8.
Everything runs fine so far and today I installed the SMF Media Gallery.
I needed a break from translating all the text strings of this mod and thought, that would be a great time to edit the index.template.php as shown on the Download Page of the MG, to get that shiny little "gallery" button.
First problem: I cannot find the string ::)
// the [member] list button
After that I thought it would be great, if the button would be placed before the pm button. 8)
So I copied and pasted the whole code right before here:
// Go to PM center... [pm]
And the whole menu was screwed up. :o
So: where do I have to put that code (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse) and what changes are necessary?
I'm an absolute noob in coding, it's like a book with 7 seals for me. *shamed*
I don't wanna be annoying or sth, but is really nobody here to help me out? :(
Sorry. I've been busy elsewhere. I'm sure you've done what all beginners do with 1.1.x themes. The mods are coded to install on the default theme and if a custom theme uses a different format for the menu you can't just paste the code from the mod installation instructions.
You have to adapt it to call the desired action but in the same format as your custom menu. It's not that hard once you've done a few buttons. If you attach your index.template.php to a post I'll fix it for you.
Hi Antechinus!
Thanks for your reply. I've installed severals mods already and did all manually for the custom themes. Worked out great , but this little button gets me down. ;)
Somehow I'm unable to attach the index.template.php here directly, even in the advanced options. So I hope, it's ok with an upload to mediafire.
Download here (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nn3to2dezgy)
Thank you & best wishes!
Neph
This should be fine. :D
// [SMF Media Gallery]
if (allowedTo('mgallery_access'))
echo'
<li>
<a' , $current_action == 'mgallery' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=mgallery">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt['mgallery_gallery'] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
It is! Absolutely great! No need for an extra box in TP anymore. :D
Thanks so much for your help and again for this adorable theme!
*does the happy dance*
Neph ;)
Hi.
Will this theme work well with the new version 2.0? if it does not work with the version 2 ... will you publish an updated new version?
Thanks.
Best Regards
No it has only been made for 1.1.x. I may make a version for 2.0 but I haven't had time yet. Alternatively, I may release the variations as single themes for 2.0.
I want to add a couple of links to the navigation bar and I'm totally lost. I did a search, but the response was so esoteric my eyes glazed over.
I want to add a label/link that directs people back to the main website and one that directs them to a photo gallery.
How do I word it, and where do I put it in which file?
I *love* the Outline theme, and was excited to see this new version.
I do have one criticism: I own a wide-screen monitor. This new theme really fills the space.
HOWEVER: it is hard to read across such a wide area. I may revert to the original Outline theme . . . at least I could alter it.
What version of smf are you using?
Have you tried to ask at the theme''s support topic?
I'm using version 1.1.8
I tried going to another theme support forum (child board?) but couldn't find a "new topic" button anywhere. So, I posted here.
the theme support for Outline Omega is here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=260814.0)
You can set a maximum width in the style.css. Change it to whatever you like. Note that this will not work for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 as they are stupid browsers. I think it might work with IE8 but I haven't tested it. Of course it works with any decent browser.
#wrapper {
width: 90%;
min-width: 900px;
max-width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}
If you let me know which gallery you are using (including a link to the mod thread) and which site you wish to link to I'll give you button codes for them.
I'm stunned by your offer of assistance. Thank you so much.
I have no idea what you mean by "mod thread". Forgive my ignorance. I'm not a newbie, but I'm not well versed, either.
The links I need in the navigation area is right after the "home" tab, one which says "website" and goes to http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/
and directly after that, a tab which says "gallery" and goes to:
http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/gallery
I think Outline is one of the most versatile themes I have seen. I've used it for several websites, redoing graphics and css styles to fit the theme of their site. I've tried others, but this has its own look and feel that doesn't remind everyone they're in a message board circa 1998.
One thing I noticed about this updated version: when using the "Outline" theme in OutlineOmega_115, when you try to use news fader, the site switches to another theme (blue Azure?). I gave up trying to have a news fader using Outline.
You probably still have the blue one set as the default option. Check under Admin >> Current Theme. You can set any one of the eleven options as the default.
For the buttons:
echo '
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='home' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">Site Name Here</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
echo '
<li>
<a' , $current_action=='home' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/gallery">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">Gallery</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';
Those will display to guests and logged in members. If you want to restrict who they display to that's easy enough.
ETA: Actually I should update the menus for that theme. I could do much better coding these days.
I pasted the code in two different areas after this comment:
// Show the start of the tab section.
It's not working. <sigh>
I do have my default set as Outline, not Azure.
And despite the trials, I love this theme and thank you for all your hard work.
Well, okay. What happened, I discovered, was it became a "tab" inside the "home" tab.
So, I changed the code a bit (used it from another older Outline version on another site) and got links within the home tab. That's good enough.
Thanks for your efforts!
You must have pasted the code in the wrong place. :D If you want separate tabs attach your index.template.php here and I'll sort them for you.
ETA: The news fader thing is funny because I use this theme as site default (set to Outline too) and it's fine with the news fader.
Hang on, when you say you have "your default" set to Outline do you mean site default or your personal default? This is what the admin page should look like.
I'm humbled by your eagerness to help. I tried attaching the index.template.php but got a server error. It's ok. People can click on the "Home" tab and see the links, now. That's really all I need.
Thank you for your screen shot. I was unaware. I fixed it and now have a news fader. Thank you so very much.
Well it's my theme and they get grumpy if I release the thing and don't support it. ;D
The drop menus aren't functional in IE6 if that bothers you. I've learned more about coding since I released this theme and will be recoding the menus shortly so that they will work in IE6. I'll clean them up for faster loading while I'm at it.
ETA: I'm going to merge this thread with the support thread for the theme.
And for SMf 2.0? Pls :(

And for SMf 2.0? Pls :(
Yep. On its way, but there's a bit of work involved in it. I'll be starting on it soon.
Original design.
Hi! Let me say it is really a great set of themes and I really want it to use in the smf I'm using - but I'm stuck with a problem at the moment.
I downloaded and installed this - http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item36 - and as I used it, I realized that there is no option to change the theme to the other great themes that are in the demo link (the buttons located at the topmost to change to other theme).
I apologize in advance if this was already asked and believe me when I say this that I searched about 2 hours now on how to make the buttons show. *bows deeply*
I'm using TinyPortal 1.052 and SMF is 1.1.10 - does it really won't work perfectly, like it was in the demo site, if it is not 115, 116, or 117?
Again, thank you very much again for the superb theme *bows deeply*
Ok, two points. First is that you have the wrong download. That one was made for TP 0.98, which some people (including myself) still use.
If you are running TP v1.0x then you want this download: http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item37
Regarding the changer buttons, for some reason they never get going unless you select to have them displayed (setting on the "Current Theme" page in admin) and then save. They should work without doing this and I have no idea why they don't, but they seem to need this to kickstart them. :)
Ooooooh! *slapface* Damn XD /me hides himself in the corner feeling ashamed XP
Thank you Anthechinus for the help and this really really great theme <333
Thank you for the great theme OutlineOmega!
One problem though...
When logged in there is the text showing in header to the right:
Hello username
you have so many messages, 0 are new.
Show unread posts since last visit
Show new replies to your posts
The links are not working. When clicking comes only to the frontpage.
In the footer, above Active in the last 15 minutes:
The links do work.
I am using SMF 1.1.10 and TinyPortal v0.9.8
Appreciate all help!
Any errors in your error log? The header links should work because they use exactly the same code as the links in the info centre.
No, nothing in the error log...
This demo site is running the TP 0.98 version of the theme (I run that version myself at the moment) and the coding is exactly the same as the coding in the download from the Theme Site.
http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=forum
If you try one of the demo accounts you will see that the header links work as they should. Have you made any changes to the code at all? Did you get the theme from the SMF Theme Site or did you find it somewhere else?
Thanks for your reply :)
But sorry to say the Demo didn't work either...just the same like in my forum.
It does work. I tested it to make sure. ;) The demo accounts don't have access to profile or pm's but they do have access to the unread posts features and they do work.
Right... :D
Not in the 2 browsers I have access to. IE and Netscape. Sorry...
Netscape? Are you serious? Netscape has been extinct for years. Which version of IE are you using and which operating system?
IE 7 and op system XP
Hmm. That's an amusing form of IE stupidity. I hadn't bothered checking those links in IE since they use exactly the same actions as the ones in the info centre. In fact the code is taken straight from the 1.1.x default theme.
No idea what is causing it and to be honest I'm not going to waste my time attempting to figure it out. Every browser worth using reads the links as they should. IE6 and 7 are obsolete and it's a non-critical function that is available elsewhere.
;D Is that something I should tell my 800 + members...hehe...
Well, I will have to look further into it myself then.
Thank you for your time and the theme is great.
Yup, you can tell them that if you like. Feel free to quote me on it. :)
Really, all fanboy stunts aside, IE6 and 7 are rubbish. Really, they are, for several reasons. Anyone with XP or higher can take their pick of several vastly superior browsers and they are all free. Even IE8 is better. You can even run Google Chrome Frame inside IE for a browser that goes like a rocket, has first rate scripting support, but still looks and feels just like IE6 or 7 (apart from the scarily better performance).
By the way, back when I coded this theme I didn't know nearly as much and the drop menus do not work in IE6 or earlier. Fine in all other browsers though. They could be made to work in IE6 but I haven't been too concerned about recoding it. I am thinking of dropping the 1.1.x version of the theme when SMF 2.0 goes final anyway.
Nice theme man!!!

Link to the theme (http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=991)
(http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/area51/index.php/action,download/lemma,991/image,thumb)
A multi theme with eleven variations based (with their permission) on Dziner Studio's classic Outline.
This theme utilises a custom board layout and comes with collapsible news fader and css-based drop menus.
Colour change bars are just above the header and will light up on hover.
By default nested quotes are restricted to three.
The download works with 115, 116 and 117 and Tiny Portal versions are also available.
Live demo of TP 0.983 version here. (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=forum) Download of TP 0.983 version (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item36) and TPv1.05 version (http://www.councilofexmuslims.com/Demos_n_downloads/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item37) available there too.
NOTE: This theme will not be released for SMF 2. More information here. (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=260814.msg1819426#msg1819426)
If anyone who wishes to use this theme is planning on altering the copyright please read this. (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=262536.msg1769116#msg1769116) Thank you.
ETA: Peeps, please note that the drop menus do not display in IE6. There is a warning about this in the Resources link in the theme's footer, but I thought I should mention it here as well. With IE6 you'll get a standard toolbar but that's it. The menus are script-blocker proof though.
Also note that the AzureSilk, Mircalla and Skyline options are not suitable for IE6.
ETA: It's been brought to my attention that when using Arabic the bottom image of the drop menus is misaligned. I assume other RTL languages would have the same problem. The fix is very simple.
Open style.css and go to Line 696. Replace this:
.tabs .btm-bg {
width: 205px;
height: 9px;
overflow: hidden;
clear: both;
}
with this:
.tabs .btm-bg {
width: 205px;
height: 9px;
overflow: hidden;
clear: both;
margin-right: -19px;
}
Thanks to Islam2Hamy for spotting this for me and working out the correct margin setting. :)
gorgeous.

I'm having the same problem. The problem is that all users with a screen resolution width <= 1024 will get the homepage instead of the unread threads. My resolution is >1024 so I don't have the problem. Where or how can I switch off the link behind the logo in the header? That would solve the problem.
SMF 1.1.11
OutlineOmega 1.15 (latest release)
Thanks for any help.

If you resize the browser window to let's say 1024 pix width, you'll see what happens... the unread links will disappear and there's only the link to the homepage...
You can change the width of the logo here:
#logo {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
display: block;
width: 825px;
height: 120px;
cursor: pointer;
}
Thank you. Works fine now.
Hi,
I have a very basic question. I'm trying to install a new logo and the way I'm trying this is by first extracting the zip folder on my home computer, then pasting my new logo in the images/outline folder. Then I zip this folder and upload it to my SMF forum hosted on GoDaddy. I can install/upload the original theme and any other theme and it installs fine. But when I extract and then rezip the template, it won't install properly. Even if I just extract the originally zipped folder and then rezip it and install it, it won't install properly. So something is happening in my extract/zip process. Should I install my logo a different way?
Thanks,
Jim
You are probably trying to zip the entire folder, which means you end up with a folder inside your zip. In other words, the theme itself ends up one layer down from where it should be. This is a fairly common mistake. :)
What you need to do is open the theme folder on desktop and use "select all" to highlight all the files and folders inside, then zip those. However, as long as you have ftp access you don't need to bother with any of this. You can just ftp your new logos into place. This is much more convenient IMO, especially if you decide to change the logo later.
How do I use FTP? / What is FTP? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=480.0)
Nice job Antechinus.
Can you help me fix the transparency of the drop-down menu in SilverMist? I have it installed on my test-forum here: http://screencool.co.uk/forum3/index.php and the background is too transparent. Thanks in advance!
Actually, nevermind that, I figured it out :)
Edit to add:
Ok, I have this error in my log - but it seems to only happen before I log in, because it is associated with my IP address as a guest.
8: Undefined variable: modSettings
File: /home/screenco/public_html/forum3/Themes/default/Login.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 660
So, I looked at line 660 and found modSettings, which is in this area of index.template.php:
<tr><td valign="middle">
<label for="cookielength2"><b>', $txt['minutes'], ':</b>
<input type="text" name="cookielength" id="cookielength2" size="12" style="margin: 0 0 0 10px;" maxlength="4" value="',
$modSettings['cookieTime'], '" /></label>
</td></tr>
I cut it out, saved the changes, and don't seem to be getting the error anymore. This also removed the "minutes" box from the drop-down menu under log-in. Is that going to have any odd effects on people who login using the drop-down, or will it be akin to logging in "forever"? If so, that's fine with me, since they could just click the 'login' main menu if they really want to set an expiration time.
bumpity bump :)
That code is not in the Omega template. Nothing to do with this theme.
Hello!
I am using your theme on my site and loving the drop down menus. However, i am having a similar problem as other members in this thread and I can't figure out how to fix it.
When I click on the 'show new replies to your posts' or 'show recent posts' buttons at the top of the forum, it merely refreshes the forum index page, and doesn't show new replies at all.
I am using Chrome, and Windows 7. The same issue exists in Firefox.
Please help? I'm a bit dumb about coding so I'd love a really simple explanation on how to fix this if possible. Thanks!
Edit: I have made this theme really narrow and changed the logo image slightly. Could this have something to do with it? I'd provide a link but this theme is not currently my default theme so it wouldn't really help anyway.
I can't reproduce that problem on a 1.1.14 test site. Both functions work normally for me, using either an admin account or a standard member account.
Hello Antechinus,
Is it maybe possible to upgrade this nice theme so that it can be used with SMF 2.0?
Greetz, Linda
Yes I'll do it when I have time, but at the moment I don't. Sorry.
