Link to the theme (https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?theme=114)
Alienation is a dark theme with some heavyily inspired industrial elements. Complete with custom icons and html fields to insert your own html code. It has a sidepanel with user-details,search and stats + possible to hide away on a per-user-basis.
Graphics are free to use within the context of a SMF forum.
Demo site:

Strange..it should really just repeat the graphic there.
make sure all the files uploaded properly too.
@Bloc any fix for this problem?

Do you have a link by any chance? A screenshot doesn't help much, since it seems ok on my local test-site.

It seems that this theme not works whit Mkportal?
The Forum is to wide it use A scroll in 1024X768 and the theme at the test site don`t have a scroll.

I think this theme only works with eather pure SMF 1.1rc2 or SMF 1.1rc2 and TP installed.
I also had a small gap in the center after the logo... but i think it has got something to do with screen resolution... i dont get it in my low res home pc ...
I need some help or the direction to where i can find a solution... for using google ad mod with alienation.... i am no good in php or modyfying templates... just learnt some basics here... please help.... this theme is awesome... neither u get the techi feel nor you get the space feel totally... its a fusion between art and tech... though i am new at smf, i have seen enough themes and i am good with psd/imageready... it appealing enough even to a girl like me as also my friends....
hats off to bloc .... :)
We have reported this issue to Bloc on TinyPortal, and he will have a look at it :)
I have this same issue. Has there been a resolution?
Issue is moot now, as I have removed the middle and right logos and put a Google AdSense banner in its place. Looks great! :)
Anyone else having problems getting Grudge's shoutbox to work, with this brilliant theme?
I get the box to shout in and the box, where the word "Shout" should be.
Actually shouting doesn't work, though.
Any ideas, or do you need more information?
In case anyone else wonders, we got the shoutbox working by opening modifications.english.php in the alienation/langagues theme and copy the couple of txt lines, there are four that tend to look like this:
$txt['alien_pm']='* PM:';
$txt['alien_unread']='* Show unread posts';
$txt['alien_replies']='* Show replies';
$txt['alien_own']='* Show your posts';
Go to the default theme, and find modifications.english.php and add those four lines to the bottom, just before the "?>".
Then delete that file from the theme.
That'll fix it!
With thanks to Lisa at http://www.totaltwaddle.co.uk/board/index.php for sorting it, for me!
Updated to work with SMF 1.1 Final.
New demo at: http://www.tinyportal.net/demo/index.php?demo=alienation
YAY!
Ta, mate!
Nice theme, but I've got this error (as I saw in error log) when a user clicks on 'balloons' to see new posts:

Also, got this one when clicked same baloon as admin:

I think both are related... If they don't, tell me.
There are some language strings that Alienation theme uses for itself. Look in the Languages folder inside Alienation theme and copy any xxx.english.php to xxx.yourlanguage.php + translate of course.
The last error is not related. I am not sure what that can be.
Only two files in .../public_html/Themes/alienation11final/languages :
Modifications.english.php
Settings.english.php
So, I've copied this two, rename and translate them, then this folder shows this four files:
Modifications.english.php
Modifications.spanish.php
Settings.english.php
Settings.spanish.php
And both problems are solved! :D :D ;D
Thank you!
Problem is back again?¿?
I've refreshed cache in my browser... Problem still there... ???
Any idea?
Thank you
P.D.: I'll post this problem on General Support / Administration and functionality with a link to this one.
Here's this post: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=139774.msg891935#msg891935 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=139774.msg891935#msg891935)
I'm wondering... I've seeing your TP and looks very 'tasteful' :D
What if I install this (yours) Mod+Theme (TP+alienation) on my forum? Do you think the problem will be solved?
Maybe..but I doubt it. TP only expand SMF, but it doesn't change so many things in it to actually fix things lol. :)
It might be a problem with SMF version of Alienation. However..that works fine on my demo site for SMF themes only: http://www.tinyportal.net/demo/index.php?demo=alienation
I see. Thanks for answer.
I'm wondering if it could be a question about language pack... Anything about missing '.gif' s...
I'm going to see... If I copy from one place to another... :-\
If not solved, I will do a complete backup of entire site + SQL db, and try to install TP...
Any advice about this? Have I got to do anything more special before installing TP?
No, if you can install mods through package manager, its a simple as install it through there and then install Alienation TP theme (just as other normal SMF themes) - if you want to use that theme.
One thing though..try to install TP as the first mod..it tends to compete with other mods on certain changes, and it seems it works best by installing that first.
At last my main problem is solved!:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=129739.msg906205#msg906205
So, I'm going to try TP...
Well, just for resume: I've got a SMF 1.1.1 forum, spanish language pack and Alienation Theme. When I'll go to install TP, the work to do is:
- Install TP Mod
- Install Alienation TP Theme
- Install spanish language pack
My question is if I would pass through any of this steps... ¿Will I need to install Alienation Theme or spanish pack again, just after installing TP Mod, or I won't?
No, you don't need to. Alienation TP is exactly like normal Alienation, just with a few more images and extra php calls to display the panels. Otherwise its a regular SMF theme.
Ok. Thank you.
I will try.
Got a Q.
Can i block the left header for my forum users?
Cause a want my forum to be wraped and i need to save as much space as posible.
thnx.
Its designed to let each user wrap it for themselves - it contains after all the user links etc.
Got an issue that was posted on before but I didn't see a solution. I've got the same issue with a hole in the top banner and the right logo misplaced at the top (Link here: http://freelancersallianceonlinegaming.com/forums/index.php?board=84.0) we would like to use this theme for our Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3 game) section in our forums but I would like to get this bug resolved, any help would be greatly appreciated
I also have the dreaded "hole in the banner".
http://www.spydernation.com/backup/
It doesn't hurt anything (I've been running Alienation as the default theme since forever) but it is darned annoying to look at.
I also saw the symptom on one of bloc's forum pages...let me see if I can find it...brb.

I can't see a hole...
Quote from: kat on April 27, 2007, 06:16:26 AM
I can't see a hole...
And I'm not surprised. That's what makes this such a fun issue. Some see it, some do not. Some browsers see it, some do not. One admin is running IE 7, (version 7.0.5700.6) he can't see the hole, another one is running IE 7 (version 7.0.5730.11) and he does see it. So far, everyone running Firefox 2.0.0.3 seems to be "hole-free", but it wouldn't stun me if the next person to comment could see the hole with FF.
Here is a screen shot of the TinyPortal link I included above, the browser is IE 7.0.5730.11, said screen shot taken at 08:37 Eastern time.
(http://www.spydernation.com/images/black_rectangle_2.JPG)
I don't know if this'll help you, with this. But, it worked, for me. Even with Alienation.
We have clickable links, in our banner. Each time they wanted to change the links, it meant changing the banner code on each and every theme.
To get around this, I created "banner.php" with just the code for the banner. It looks like this (With the forum url changed and all the links removed. Obviously, you'd need to change "http://mysite.co.uk/Banner.png" to whatever you need.):
REMEMBER TO KEEP A BACKUP COPY OF EACH FILE THAT YOU ALTER, JUST IN CASE!
<center><img src="http://mysite.co.uk/Banner.png" usemap="#Banner" alt="" style="border-style:none" /></center>
<map id="Banner" name="Banner">
</map>
That code I called "Banner.php" and it's stored in public_html.
Then, at the top of every index.template, I added the following, right after "<?php" and before "// Version: 1.1.2; index"
require 'banner.php';
So the top looks like this:
<?php
require 'banner.php';
// Version: 1.1.2; index
I wonder if this would help, in your situation.
Maybe the size of the banner is crucial, I don't know. For reference, mine's 800x170 pixels in size.
You might need to go to the settings for each theme and remove any code, there, which might mean that you'll have two banners, or something.
I will give that a shot. Basically, it appears that you are using the banner.php as a "band-aid" to cover a hole that may or may not be there?
Thanks for your suggestion!
Pleasure, mate!
I know precious little about php, to be honest. I just found some code that worked and butchered it, to suit.
So much better than changing the index.template in all themes, though. I have quite a few on my forum...
I have the same problem, I truely believe it is in the length or size of the logo you add. When I tried to add a whole line of logo,
ex: "Disciples of Apacolypse" I got the hole. When I just use a small png logo it has no hole. I must have to do with the paramaters in the header. Unfortunatly I can't code php, so I Don't know how to fix. But I have played with various lengths and the longer the script the bigger the hole. Go figure.
Just my 2 cents worth.
The Omen
The alienation is one from my favourites :D :D
But could someone gives me a hint how I can remove the left panel ???
It is the index.template.php.
Should look like the default theme.
THANKS :-*
There's a button, above "Home" that says "User".
Try clicking it and seeing what happens...
Thanks Kat for the hint :D :D
Did not see this button. Was tooooooooooooooo dark, lolllll.
No sweat, mate.
We all need a few pointers, occasionally.
Especially me!!
Im kinda new here, so could u answer this question?
Ive installed the css, in it, but the problem is , im not seing the rest of the theme(navigator, some background)
well, did you install the whole theme ? or just parts of it?
Hello :)
I really like this theme a lot! I am using SMF 1.1.3, and MKPortal 1.1.1. Everything looks great, and seems to be functioning perfectly, but I have a small request, if I may :)
With MKPortal wrapping the forum, it looks odd having the header and search functions droppping down vertically. Would it be possible to change the code a bit so that it drops down horizontally?
Here is a link to the forum I'm working on:
http://idf.raivensnest.net/forum/index.php (http://idf.raivensnest.net/forum/index.php)
As you can see, with it vertical it doesn't really suit how MKPortal wraps the forum. If you could help by letting me know what code to edit, I'd really appreciate that :)

Anybody else having trouble with the "Edit Smileys" tab?
Even on a fresh install of the skin I have never had this option available. The other tabs in this section work, it's just this one.
Every time I need to edit the smileys I need to switch to the default skin.

I was looking at your site and noticed this theme and went to smf to see about it and download and it says its only compat with 1.1 or 1.1.2
when you going to convert this to V.1.1.4
???
its a sweet lookin theme for sure :)
Although its not marked as such, it does work fine on 1.1.4 as well.

Thx's Broc
First let me start like this.. THIS THEME KICKS ASS.. way to go man :)
but one error so far since i installed. I notice the same issue with the top image missing in the middle like a couple people posted one page back. It only is missing or has a table screwed up in IE. I use FF and it seems to be fine. Theres a big black spot though on IE7 & IE6 when you enter any of the topics but it is fine on the main page. I left your copyright / made by: text at the bottom but i removed the logoright.jpg image and it makes the gap even bigger than with the image in there of course but. Is there a fix for this issue yet.??
I even tried to add table there and also run the middle image all the way over to the right and no luck.
Can you please help with this so that it looks complete on IE and FF. ??
Thanks
Hi
Bloc i also just noticed there are not any unread post links like below:
Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.
Not at all anywhere unless i missed something or i went blind..lol
uhm is there suppose to be those link as it should be ?? or are they some where else or how can i fix this and get those links back ??
as they are real important to me and my members and all.
and i am also getting all kind of errors in my error records..
like every time i move through my site..
I am getting these:
8: Undefined index: alien_own
File:/public_html/tutorials/Themes/default/languages/Profile.english-utf8.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 249
on lines 249, 247, 248, 215, and a couple others..
and
8: Undefined index: alien_pm
File: /public_html/tutorials/Themes/alienation11final/Display.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 215
8: Undefined index: alien_replies
File: /public_html/tutorials/Themes/default/Admin.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 248
and also a bunch of these:
Unable to load the 'ThemeStrings.english-utf8' language file.
i noticed this checking on a couple guest IP's and when i did a check it shows below there errors they and and thats what made me look at my log
what should i do about all these errors ??
thats only 2 pages worth and all the same thing but flipping around from one to the other error..
i have about 150 pages of errors already since this install.. happens like every minute or like i said every time i move around site it seems.. I do not visually see the errors except sometimes certain images not loading but or they take a reload for them to show but other than that i do not see these errors with my eyes but only in the logs that i have noticed so far. I dont know..
What can i do to fix this ???
PS~
i did not even look through all the error's but..
looks like i might already have to take this theme off, I dont want to, i really like this theme but, kind of is looking that way unless there is some help out there for this.
and also some of this
8: Undefined index: alien_own
File: /public_html/tutorials/Themes/alienation11final/MessageIndex.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 249
and just to let you know about the above stuff here, I reinstalled my old theme i had up and rechecked for errors and came up with none.
error log is not showing anything under my old theme, nothing new is coming up at all.
This is language errors..and it explains why you don't have "show replies.." links..because i made them shorter in this theme and put the short versions in language strings. Are you using english utf8 btw?
I'm getting a stack of the same errors but on a different theme. Presumably the cause is the same so it's not exactly off topic. We're running English because I was told to. I don't know the difference between that and English UTF-8.
You are indeed in need of a utf-8 file..please try to rename the "Themestrings.english.php" file inside "Themes/Alienation/languages" to "ThemeStrings.english-utf8.php".

YOU ROCK Bloc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol :)
Ok i got that part fixed,
thanks man.. didn't even think about that.
but what about now with the top image missing in the middle of the header on IE (only is missing once inside a topic) ??
thanks again man..
PS~
this theme ROCKSSSS.. thanks for making it and offering it out :)
IE6 or 7?
Quote from: Bloc on January 01, 2008, 11:49:17 AM
IE6 or 7?
Both,
and i take that back when i said it was only once inside a topic that it was missing, it is also missing and changes that image gap when you add your own site name image logo instead of text site name (even though its the same size as set text for that area )
need or want a screen shot ??
or do you know what i am talking about already (since it has already been posted here from others also ) ??
so to clear that up above:
It shows a empty black gap at the top section with no images on IE 6 and 7 once your inside a topic or category
and / or
it also does it but changes the gap size when you add a name logo, instead of text and then it even shows the black empty gap on the index page at top also like it does when your inside a topic or category.
hi do we have a TP version for this?
http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item507
Try that
got it thanks ;)
Any body come up with an issue to my above problem yet ??

nice theme. is there a way to remove the sidebar completely? and not by having the user "clicke the hide arrow". is there a way to 100% remove this bar from the theme?
Love the theme, can the header be enlarged and can a different picture be used?

Not without removing a lot of code I am afraid. The user/stats parts are all added in permanently.

You should be able to exchange the logo a least, with a link to a image. Check out "current theme settings".
