Title: Squared Left Headers
Post by: FrizzleFried on May 22, 2012, 02:43:57 PM
I have a couple of mods that I've installed that were obviously written before the curve theme was default.   One of them (Chess) uses header bars that have a rounded right side but the left side is squared off.  I've seen this on the Quiz mod as well if I remember right. 

Can someone give insight on how to fix the header so it shows up with rounded corners on both left and right?

The second question/issue is related.  The Tags mod currently uses squared headers...  both left and right... any insight on how to use the 2.0.2 style headers in place of the current ones?

Any help is much appreciated.  THANKS!

Hi FrizzleFried,

Is there a template file for the Chess mod? If so, can you attach it into your next post?

Attached...

I am not sure if the CHAT template includes a header bar or not.

I was sort of hoping someone would say:

"Yeah,  look for "XXXXX" and replace it with "YYYYY"... but it's never that easy, eh?

I first need to investigate the problem before I can fix it heh.

Does this fix it?

Sure does... except for the CHESS BOARD screen... which I assume uses the attached template instead perhaps?

Care to give me the code that was changed so i can do so other places by chance or was it too complicated?

THANKS!

Well, the code varies from piece to piece and there are quite a few of them, that's why I can't post it right now. I'll take a look at the other pieces later.

That file is all XML generation. Doesn't help me, sorry.

Then the original template file I sent you must include the lines that are still squared...

Every page other than the board page itself is perfect.  The image I posted showing the squared image in the original post is the one that is still squared.

Thanks for the help thus far.  Worst case I'll poke around and see if I can see the edits you made to see if I can reproduce for the two spots that still need them.

It appears line 327 in the chess template is where the code that needs modification begins.  I tried copying your code (using <div>) and I could round the left header but it went across the screen and the left header went below it.  I tried adjusting the width but failed.

I am but a hack... so I figured I'd shoot you the info I have and go from there.
