Title: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve RC3)
Post by: stikkki on January 02, 2010, 04:14:08 PM

Call of Duty - Curve 2.0RC3

Black/Grey/green theme based on Call Of Duty - Modern Warfare 2

DEMO (http://www.eotsdzine.com/DEMO/index.php?theme=4)

NOTE: THIS THEME ISNT A COLOR VARIATION IT CONTAINS EDITS TO SOME FILES THAT COULD REQUIRE SOME MODS NEEDING  A MANUAL EDIT(S)  - PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE INSTALLING

Static drop down menu that as the name says stays static - positioned at the top of the screen below browser tabs
Header rearranged and large logo added into header
Smaller logo added to top of header (this can be chaged by uploading image named smflogo.png to theme image folder
Res 1024 and above
Tested in: FF3.5.5, IE8, Chrome 3.0.195.33, Safari 4.0.4, Opera 9.64

Theme Updated to 2.0RC3

Changes:

- Theme Widened
- Menu Widened
- Seperated Redirect text from the redirects figure to balance layout better
- Added a higher main_block.png image - adding things like shoutbox's and adverts to curve themes can cause upper_section (header) image to "break", this extra 200px height helps prevent that
- Edited a couple of $txt strings to shorten some unecessarily lengthy button/link text

Ok, found a little bug, nothing huge...

It is discolored by the registration bar
See screenshot.

This might be because of the mod "Registration Read" that I installed...

Also, caps on detection mod does not want to install with package manager due to errors in index - I know you made a disclaimer, just letting other people know...

Post by: bullbreedluverz on January 02, 2010, 06:55:12 PM
that problem can be fixed by

find in index.css

/* Buttons should be styled a bit differently, in order to make them look more button'ish. */
.button_submit, .button_reset
{
background: #cde7ff url(../images/theme/submit_bg.png) no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
cursor: pointer;
font-weight: normal;
}
input:hover, textarea:hover, button:hover, select:hover
{
border: solid 1px #454545;
}
.button_submit:hover, .button_reset:hover
{
border: 1px solid #aaa;
background: url(../images/theme/submit_bg.png) no-repeat 0 -218px #cde7ff;
}



replace with
/* Buttons should be styled a bit differently, in order to make them look more button'ish. */
.button_submit, .button_reset
{
background: #5B5C5E url(../images/theme/submit_bg.png) no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
cursor: pointer;
font-weight: normal;
}
input:hover, textarea:hover, button:hover, select:hover
{
border: solid 1px #454545;
}
.button_submit:hover, .button_reset:hover
{
border: 1px solid #aaa;
background: url(../images/theme/submit_bg.png) no-repeat 0 -218px #5B5C5E;
}


i will update the package in the morning to rectify this minor issue that only seems to occur when a minimum age is set in registration settings
Title: Re: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve)
Post by: bullbreedluverz on January 03, 2010, 09:14:42 AM
package updated to include the above edit

i have also been asked for an alternative image to the "Modern Warfare 2" but with the number 2 removed from the logo so ive attatched .png (this can be uploaded to the themes image folder as it is)

and

.psp & .psd format logo

these are layered images which can be edited and will need saving as .png to be added to the theme

Awesome! Thank you for your hard work. Keep it up and if you need any help, I would be glad to "give back" to you by helping any way I could.

EDIT: Attached the favicon I found on the internet. Maybe someone else would like to use it.

Can you check the Package manager in Admin..
The Buttons are there but they have no descriptions and only appear when u hover the cursor over them...I'll grab a screenie asap and post back...
Title: Re: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve)
Post by: bullbreedluverz on January 05, 2010, 05:25:24 PM
hi, the package manager button text isnt controlled by the theme, that will be called from the Default themes language files and the theme doesnt contain the a language file so it's called form the default theme.

I tried this and didn't like it because the too banner dent show up, so I removed it and installed Warcraft theme(I love it!)

I have a few questions:

I deleted the theme, but it is still in the server. Should I delete it by FTP?

I noticed that the theme changes a lot of files. Since I removed it, will I still have to manually add some mods?

Thanks you, for suppport.

Love the Warecraft theme! Default as of now.

hi, im unsure as to why the banner didnt show up, you should of posted here after you saw the problem and i would of had a look at it for you

if you want to remove it from your server just do as you said and delete it via FTP

once a theme is removed it has no relevance to mods, although clearly the world of warcraft theme has file edits that may require some mods being manually added to that theme

Dammit! But I still love it. I think that this theme is too slim >___< one one of the big reason I removed it.

But I like WoW theme and I plan to keep it.

attatched is the header image in layered format so you can edit any part of it

just upload it after you have edited it to the themes image folder

Ok, I got one and have one question....style related...

how do I get rid of the avatar from showing where it does in this screenshot?

Thanks!
Title: Re: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve)
Post by: bullbreedluverz on February 01, 2010, 07:01:26 AM
find in index.template.php


echo '
<li class="avatar">', $context['user']['avatar']['image'], '</li>


simply delete that and the avatar will no longer display in the header

Ok. That worked...sorta...

What i ended up doing is
Find:</li>';

echo '
<li class="avatar">', $context['user']['avatar']['image'], '</li>
</ul>';

Replace with </li></ul>';

by doing that I put the </ul>'; right after the </li>'; and it got rid of the '; that was between the two.

Does that make sense?

yeah soz, i hadnt long woke up and i just looked at source code for the theme

it should been like you said

find

</li>';

         echo '
               <li class="avatar">', $context['user']['avatar']['image'], '</li>
            </ul>';


replace with

</li></ul>';

Got another question for you...

I have SMF Treasury 2.04 (despite the fact it say 2.03) installed. I also have it displaying in a simpleportal block. The old problem has come back to haunt me...where there is a scroll bar on the side but the bar is full...
Screenshot attached

EDIT: In SS there is a big space after the title and the words, that is because there is blinking text there and the screenshot was on the wrong second...if it make any difference..
Title: Re: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve)
Post by: bullbreedluverz on February 23, 2010, 08:46:36 AM
i dont know any specific reason why the theme would cause a scroll bar to appear like that but as the treasury block as far as i know isnt a default SP block and youve more than likely created a custom php block to display the treasury then it maybe something in the code you have used that is causing the scrollbar to appear
Title: Re: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve)
Post by: MordyT on February 23, 2010, 01:28:15 PM
You are right.
Here is the code I put into the php block if it would help:

global $sourcedir, $settings;
include("$sourcedir/DonationBlock.php");


But from what I read here (http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=3531.0), it happens universally, so I will ask for help there...
Title: Re: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve)
Post by: bullbreedluverz on February 23, 2010, 03:02:20 PM
sorry im not much of a coder so that doesnt mean anything to me and you will be best off asking on the simpleportal site if thats where you got the code from

Do you have FTP access to try something?

Is it upload to the root folder? I need to run it and set the default theme back to default - provided that you still have that installed...
if not, what is the filepath to a working theme

Theme has been remade but will need to be approved first which seems to be taking about a week or so at the moment so just keep an eye out on this section of the site for "2.0 Call Of Duty C.O.D." being added.

I made the original theme and it would been too simple and lazy just to update to 2.0, times have changed and so has the theme - the theme hasn't just been updated to 2.0 it has had changes made to the original files -

Recent Posts layout changed to div table

BoardIndex.template.php redesigned

MessagIndex.template.php redesigned

Post.template.php redesigned

New Images

Hover effects

Custom icon sets

Demo can bee seen here http://www.petchatforum.net/smf/index.php?theme=16

I have to ask...
When I updated from RC3 to 2.0 Gold, it kept the old theme featured here in play. Seems like it works fine. What issues will I run into by keeping the old one as well?
Title: Re: Eots Dzine - Call Of Duty (Curve RC3)
Post by: MrGrumpy on June 24, 2011, 03:47:37 PM
To be honest I don't really know.

I wouldn't expect any major issues but once you have been using it for a bit and explored more of the site/theme there will probably be the odd thing come up due to any coding changes between RC3 and 2.0 that weren't noticeable on initial checking of it on your site but they should be easy enough to sort.
