Title: SMF Theme shrinks
Post by: bfc on April 01, 2006, 10:57:50 AM
Hi,

I just changed my SMF theme to the "SMF Default Theme". But for some reason it shrinks my entire site including my Joomla theme. The SMF Classic theme works fine. So i'm a bit confused about why this happens.
Anybody have any ideas about why this happens and how it can be fixed?

You can check the problem at www.bluefightingcat.com
When you clikc on "Forum" or "games" the entire site shrinks.

conflicting CSS files... the SMF new default is mostly CSS these days...  and the way you have it set up, the SMF CSS replaces the joomla CSS duplicate entries.

Easiest:
1- use one of the themes specifically designed to be wrapped in joomla

works, but not the most recommended, if anyone ever accesses your froum directly, it will look screwy.
2- modify your SMF's CSS file to remove or merge the duplicates with the joomla CSS

most suggested but most labor intensive:
3- copy the SMF CSS into the joomla CSS. remove/merge duplicates, comment out the lin in SMF and in the bridge code that calls for the SMF CSS file.
