Very nice! ;)

when signed out, login box expands header. anyway to fix so it's same height as when signed in?

Maybe removing login description
Let me see

Diego, don't know if you received my pms?  :-\

in index.css try to find:

div.user
{
float: right;
width: 230px;


and replace it with:

div.user
{
float: right;
min-width: 230px;


?

Worked.
Thanks

-the text for the login box isn't legible, anyway to change that?
-Enotify notifications, when long, expand down under the search box

I don't have this mod installed.

Tnx!

an example of the mod error with theme

just a guess (because I can't get more than one message in ENotify at once):
z-index: 100000;
z-index: 1;

Code (Find) Select Expand

z-index: 100000;

Code (Replace with) Select Expand

z-index: 1;

You probably have just one notification.

what file is that code in?

again index.css :)

worked. tnx :)

Pls how do i fix the link 1 trying to run  out of the forum page? and the home buttons is way too far way, how to close gap?

Also, can changes made [urlhttp://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=494560.0]here[/url] for the info center problem work on this theme too?

I have a simple request, I'd like to stick the box with user name and avatar and such directly under the logo and free up space on the right hand side.

How would I need to edit the files to do this?

Nice and soft theme, like it. To change the blue color to an smoth blue color it was hard to change?? and to include the social butons on top (after menu butons mayde) or on the footer, its hard to change it?

Thanks

how can i add more links on top bar?

I would like to remove the top bar... Ideas?

</ul>', !empty($settings['forum_width']) ? '

echo '

Also, removing it, will cause the link options in the theme admin not work, and you will not see if there are moderation reports and that stuff.

Beautiful theme! Really nice.   I'm not technical, so please reply accordingly.  Any reason why  Advanced Editor wouldn't work with this theme on a brand new SMF 2.0.7 installation?  Advanced Editor works with other themes and with my fall-back choice "My Theme." which is similar to BlueBird. Too bad.  A forum w/out Advanced Editor is pretty much a deal-breaker.  Any suggestions?   Here is my forum (not ready for prime time quite yet)

http://www.ChiangMaiForum.net (http://www.chiangmaiforum.net) .

Thanks for your help.

Maybe some other mod edited the same code, so that's why it's giving you an error.
The best you can do is to ask the author of the mod if he can give you a hand to look at that part.

Sat 26 Apr 2014, 6:33 am

Tks for the reply.  I'll check with the author.  Unlikely that is a mod conflict as this was a brand new installation, and after Simple Portal, Advanced Editor was the first  & only MOD we installed.   

BTW, the link I gave goes to a temporary page.  The actual forum  installation is  http://www.ChiangMaiForum.net/index.php (http://www.chiangmaiforum.net/index.php)

Thanks.

I really like this theme - it's been a long time since I've worked with changing things about in forums. I can't remember how to properly insert links.

Quote<li><a href="', empty($settings['link_top1_url']) ? '' : '' . $settings['link_top1_url'] . '', '">', empty($settings['link_top1']) ? $txt['link_top1'] : $settings['link_top1'], '</a></li>

If I wanted a link called 'Cool Site' (example) and it was going to coolsite.com --- how would I enter that in the above?

You can edit the links in admin > forum config > current theme.

Yes, I understand that, but so far twice I have tried to edit the code I pasted above, and have broken things :)
In the code above, where do I insert the URL and where do I insert the Link title?

Fri 20 Jun 2014, 8:25 am

Moonrise, I don't have much of a skill set, but I think you are looking in the wrong place.

Admin > Themes and Layout > Theme Settings > Bluebird

Click on Bluebird.

I think you are leaving out that last step.  When you click on Themes Settings, you go to a page with a list of the installed themes.  On the left,  the names of the themes are links. It's not obvious that they are links, but they are.   Click on Bluebird, and you go to a page for setting the links which is self-explanatory. See attached.

BTW, that links bar is really cool, but didn't look good with our particular design, so we deleted it.  There is a mod at SMF Hacvks "Menu Editor Pro" which is EXCELLENT and let you do everything in the world with menus and links.

Diego, I really like this theme.  It's a little bit fussy, apparently, to get our header banner right, but worth the effort.  Thanks!  http://www.ChiangMaiForum.net. (http://www.chiangmaiforum.net.)

Hope this helps.

ahh - yes I did look but didn't see anything like that. I ended up uninstalling it because the change I made gave me a parse error for the whole board. Ill try again. Thank you very much for the helpful response.

Admin > Config > Current theme

the theme really beautiful ,i like it!
thank your quick reply,i'm not skilled in coding  :).
And more,
how to make menu bar or navigation bar also to be 960px,i do not want so long.And after  admin login, also make admin/moderate ..words to be  centered?

First... Open index.css and find #submenu and remove the padding: 0 7%;
Then in index.template.php find:
class="dropmenu2 custommenu" id="menu_nav"
Replace with
class="dropmenu2 custommenu" id="menu_nav" style="width: '. $settings['forum_width']. '; margin: 0 auto;"

And find:
class="dropmenu2 sub_menu"
Replace with
class="dropmenu2 sub_menu" style="width: '. $settings['forum_width']. '; margin: 0 auto;"

I hope it works  :P

works sir!
but i do not describe clear,i need left background of menu and header be canceled too ,like image attached.
sorry ask small question.

Ok, revert all the changes, except for the css padding.
Then in index.template.php find:
id="content_mainmenu"
replace with
id="content_mainmenu" style="width: '. $settings['forum_width']. '; margin: 0 auto;"

Find
id="header"
replace with
id="header" style="width: '. $settings['forum_width']. '; margin: 0 auto;"

And again in the css, do exactly the same you did in #submenu, but in .custommenu

Sorry and also remove this ones in index.template.php
';
echo !empty($settings['forum_width']) ? '
<div id="wrapperheader" style="width: ' . $settings['forum_width'] . '">' : '', '
', !empty($settings['forum_width']) ? '
</div>' : '

works sir, great! thank you very much! :D :D

How do i remove this. Login and info after login.

I'm such a sucker because I paid $39 for this theme through Mojo Marketplace when all along it was available for free!

But what I want to know is this. I love the header colour on the default theme, as well as the height. I want to produce the exact same thing but replacing it with my own logo. I was thinking to create a header in canva.com using the same colour background with the website name in white letters. Can you tell me the exact colour code for that dark blue so I can match it exactly? Also, what is the exact size of the header?

This forum is old, so I hope you see this. (Also, in case you haven't guessed, I'm not a techie).

I installed this theme on 2.0.11 , nice clean crisp theme. Nice little options built in well done and thank you.

I need some help here

Okay when starting a topic and then pinned /sticky it that is fine but when you reply its like the ascending/decending isn't working.

like its in decending  (I think) or the other way.. how do I fix this small problem ?

You must have enabled that either in your profile or in theme settings

This is a fantastic theme, can i remove the login block from the upper right corner of the header ??

Sorry didnt see the explanation above,  That works  Great !   and by the way, you do fantastic work, thanks,

Is there a way to change the font color in the nav bar,  i would like the register button to be red to attract more attention.

Having a small issue with this theme. My server log is getting spammed with the following error:

"/usr/local/www/nginx/Themes/BlueBird/images/theme/spritemenu.png" failed (2: No such file or directory)

I checked and there is in fact no spritemenu.png file in any of the directories for this theme. This is getting called from line 1223 of /Themes/BlueBird/css/index.css

background: #FFF url(../images/theme/spritemenu.png) repeat-x top left;

Any idea on how to fix this so it's stop throwing constant errors in the server log?

I know this is an older thread but is this theme no longer supported?

Check the image exists in that directory sometimes it is not uploaded or damaged.

It is compatible up to .14 if you have no problem.


Regards!

I checked before I posted and it's not there. I also checked the contents of a fresh download of the theme and it's not included with the theme.

It's a very nice theme.

Yeah, I noticed it when I was browsing for themes for the 2.0.15 "reincarnation" for my forum (it was offline for a while) and the choice was between this one and CleanTek from Crip (RIP). I chose CleanTek because it wasn't so "modern".

But still, this is great theme, If I'd have to choose once again... I don't know, the scale might tip on BlueBird ;).

Great work Diego Andrés ;).

@Jailer As I mentioned above the subject is compatible, at least in the forums I have used it. Look if there is a registration error, something more appears than uploading the image for that error marking is not uploaded to the hosting or is blocked.


Regards!

Hi Diego. Will this theme be altered/upgraded so I can use it on my SMF 2.1.2 forum?
We would really love it.

I'd say yes, but I'm afraid I don't know when I'd be able to do it.
Maybe at some point next year.

Would be so nice. But I understand that time can be an important issue.  :)

But most of the time it goes well.
