I like it... well done!
It's very noir... and I like it!
Will be adding that one along side Apollo ;)
Great work.
A bit dark for my taste, but a well designed theme. good work
Well done. Don't forget your entry in the themes overview thread:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=15620.0
Very nice and very smooth. I like it. I wonder what that theme would look in a cool Longhorn or XP blue? Hmmm.
-Jazhawk
You mean instead of the brownish, a bluish/greenish hue..?
Creative and Excellent .. well done Bloc
Very nice! Seriously, you did a great job :P
And (ofcourse) a comment:
- The .titlebg and .catbg css properties backgrounds are just too simple :P
You might want to try a somewhat darker gray and perhaps some other gradients or perhaps something matching with the other graphics in the theme.
Exellent job!
Fantastic theme! Great work!

Sat
Wasn't there a thumbnail in it..? *checking*
Yes there was,
It was the default SMF one,
S I just cut a piece out of the theme, and removed the text ;)
And i added link color fades,
hope u dun mind? :-[
Not at all. ;) And thanks for the tip about the thumbnail. I will change it.
Link color fades..you use Javascript then..?
Yup,
Really easy adaptable external js, that automatically replaces text links =D
real neat tho,
still like the theme!
Yes, I visited your site and it does suit the theme.. ;) Great effect for such a dark theme really. And really nice to see my other theme there too. :)
apollo was urs right? (from the top of my head), looksgood too!
And the colors do fit the theme dun they ;)
Have them in every theme, with all diff colors =D
have a lot of those, Expecting a lot of users after the 11th of october, therefor adding a lot of functions/layout options ;)
so thx again,

...except for the smf install in the phpbb2 folder :P yukkk! :D
*crawls in with abucket of shame hanging around his neck*
yeah i know, I left a few links on another board in SK (StarKingdoms),
Back then it was phpbb2, then I saw this bb and I completaly freaked out as this one is much better...
ah no need for excuses, it looks really shamefull on a great bb...
soory :-[
Maybe redirect from the phpBB folder to a SMF folder with this tool (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=10844.0)?

Tru tru, tho I already installed it back then, I could mask the adress bar ;)
tho then I'd have to do that after each refresh which is a server blowing option ;)
thx neway,
Sat
I added a thumbnail as well. no big deal :P
Altho you deny users to change theme's ;)
so u dun need a thumbnail :P
jus messin =D

Umm... :-[
I don't exactly get what you mean :-[
What I meant to say is I could mask the adress bar by filling it with an other web adress each page, but this takes a refresh on almost every action, so this would be a nuisiance if I have a lot of users on my web,
and since al my pages are situated in phpbb2 folder now i can't just make a new folder and replace evrything just like that =S
Hi Satsume :)
Well i had exactly the same problematic szenario with a wrong SMF folder (i used 2 dirs 1st smf and phpBB2 -test install then i kept it liek this a while :) ). Well its not big deal to fix it!
Mybe this topic helps
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=16166.0
I fixed it with checking all LINKAGE inside the admin area.
Also i had to manuel update my SQL.
Todo so make a backup of your existing database and then open it with some editor.
Now 1st check if their after you changed the directorys inside the admin area still wrong (old) pathing.
Search for eg. phpBB
Now when their still pathing to the old directory replace all wrong pathing with the new.
eg. replace: phpBB with SMF -> save new and copy/past inside eg phpMyAdmin as sql query. Before this u must drop all bbs related tables...so keep the backup - just incase :)
cheers
You can move your forum from one folder to another. I have never done this myself but I'm certain it's possible and shouldn't be all that hard. I'll tell you what I think you should do.
First upload the file "repair_settings.php" (link to download page (http://www.simplemachines.org/download.php?converters)) to your /phpbb/ directory. Then create another folder named /phpbbtmp/ (or anything else). Download this tool (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=10844.0) and open redirect-settings.php with notepad. At the bottom you can find a the text "$forumurl = '';" . Replace this line with "$forumurl = 'http://mt.mxhost.net/SK/forum/';".
Now you need to upload these redirection files to the directory /phpbbtmp/. You're getting close to the end now.
Open your ftp program and rename "phpbb" to "forum" and rename "phpbbtmp" to "phpbb" and then open your browser, go to http://mt.mxhost.net/SK/forum/repair_settings.php and run it...
Wow this story ended up being a bit too long and I'm not even 100% sure that repair_settings.php will fix it... :D
Ok, updated the file with the right thumbnail. It is the same as the one displayed in the overview of themes in this board...same name too, so it can be just saved over the old one.
Nice work Bloc! I just put up my first SMH board yesterday (oh, the joys of configuring MySQL and PHP on a Win2K server!) and used Helios as my theme .... tweaked the quotation parameters a little and adopted a different smilies set, but so far my viewers really like the look!
http://www.tallguyz.com/smf/index.php
I noticed a small flaw with the news fader color (<div id="smfFadeScroller"...).
You need to change the code inside /SMF/Themes/Helios/BoardIndex.template.php
on line 46 from #000000 -> #FFFFFF (white).
thx + cheers
yep thanks for that robot-caught that as well..
Re: #000000 -> #FFFFFF (white).
Thanks for the bug - I will correct it.
@ Burpee,
thx, it worked,
well partially of course, seeing u'd have to re-install all the themes =S
It sets only the default one in to the new dir...
neway, after a bit o' work i fixed it so thx!
No problem :)
probably the best theam on here well done you deserve a pat on the back
i love it when you get somethink different
Good job.
Planning to enter this?
-[Unknown]
Yes, I think I will. Although I don't reckon it will win, but it would be fun to try. :)
It's great, I've installed it. One problem though, in Firefox the forums stats and the time streches out the table...view this in Firefox (http://forums.tauonline.org/index.php?theme=9) to see what I mean. Also the 'Reply' button under IM view is the defualt one.
Great theme though,
Tau Online
The reply button...that I will have to fix. But in my firefox both my test-forum and yours show up just fine? I use Firefox 0.9.3 though..maybe older versions differ.
Or do you mean the stats/time/login part is a bit wider than the rest? If so, it's intended to be a bit wider.. ;) Sort of "braces" the page under - or so my idea was anyway.

I mean that in 800 by 600, Firefox it streches out the page..If you can try my forum out in 800x600 Firefox, you should see what I mean.
Yes..I am sorry about that. It is the graphics that declares this. Instead of making the layout more complex in wrapping the buttons on low resolutions by more tables, I just declared the row unwrapable. That way it wont push the buttons downward and break the design.
Not a good solution, I know.

Nah it's all right, I'm probably the only person who uses both 800x600 and Firefox on my forums. :)
I like it. Check it out here.

When I read my private messages the Reply graphic is still from the default theme. I cleared caches and all. Kinda weird but dont care much about that.
Great theme. Thanks!
I thought it was just me, when I go to my first discussion area -the forum goes back to the default originla theme. Even still-and it's not my cache either. You using IE?

Make sure you don't have the board set to use its own theme.
-[Unknown]
I really like this theme, and I plan to use a modified version of it (coloured slightly differently to match the site). I've coloured most bits how I want it, however I would really like to be able to add a background colour in the "special header boxes", ie the User Info, News, and the board icon key area (if possible). Currently it can only be the same colour as the background ie black and changing anything in the style.css file doesn't do anything.
It seems that these areas are designed to have a grey rounded border around them but have no background. Is there a way to change it so the background to these boxed in areas could be made a different colour?
Also could someone tell me how I edit the theme to make the user info and news boxes to go side by side sharing 50% of the width each instead of being one under the other.
(I hope I explained that correctly enough for you to understand what I mean!)
This is a nice tutorial for this question:
http://patrick.hardcorecoders.net/tutorials/
Thanks to the author..
That tutorial is excellent, but to answer his question about background - one will have to find in index.template.php the line that begins with : $topbox=
This variable holds the frame aorund the newsbox and userinfo and if you add a bgcolor="yourcolor" in the last <td> of that line, you will change the backgroundcolor in both. BUT there is one problem...the graphics for the frame(and everything else btw) is NOT transparent in order to achieve a smooth transition, so you will have to change the graphics as well if you dont want a abrupt change from your color to black.I designed with black background in mind, and have to change all graphics and a few places the bgcolors in order to get a different background...
Moving the newsbox can be done, but you will have to take out the code for putting a logo on the right, and changing widths in the user-info box as well.
Thank's very much for those replies. I've been using that tutorial, but changing the thing it suggested didn't change what it said it would! However, Bloc's suggestion sounds like just the ticket!
I am aware I'll have to change some of the graphics. At first I was going to change the whole background colour, but it seemed like far too much like hard work to Photoshop all those images! That's why I wanted to give the header boxes a background instead, so I had less to change! I've never done a theme before, or any PHP for that matter, so appologies if these are simple questions to the experts here!
P.S. Great work Bloc, I'm looking forward to seeing your next project ;)
Thank you. :)
My next project is almost ready, and will be less graphic intensive and more "allround" I suppose. ;)
I am enjoying so much the freedom SMF allows in making themes that it is pure fun just setting it up. And of course - without YaBBSE/SMF I would not be into the forum business at all, so this is also a way to give back what the developers have put in of dedication and time making YaBBSE/SMF what it is...
When I was asked to set up a board for a bunch of women :) trying to start a site without the ****** ( excuse my language) that often comes up on similar boards , I tried out several. But fell in love with YaBBSE immediately and never looked back. My poor members had to endure a lot of changes, but never complained - and are now using SMF and its actually increasing the traffic..!
Well it's great that you're feeding such good quality themes into the community! I only wish I had the skills to do them, but sadly when it comes to coding I'm stuck in newbieville!
Any chance of a little sneak peek of your latest work? :D ;)
Sure. :) Will be a few alterations, but mainly this is it.

Ok sorry for being a newbie here I'm sure you're busy and all, however although the first bit was nice and straight forward, I can't get the newsbox thing to work ???
I think I've figured out the area that controls the the position of the news and info boxes, but changing them makes know difference. I must have to change that logo placement thing you mentioned. Would you be so good as to tell me where that is and how I change it? Thanks so much!
Well, it is not that much to change anyway so here goes..! ;)
Find this code in index.template.php :
echo '
</td></tr></table>';
echo '</div>'.$botbox.'</td>';
if((isset($settings['userlogo']) && !empty($settings['userlogo'])) && (isset($settings['userlogospot']) && $settings['userlogospot']=='corner')) echo '<td align="right" valign="top"><a href="index.php"><img border="0" src="'.$settings['userlogo'].'" border="0" alt="logo" /></a></td>';
echo '</tr>';
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '<tr><td style="padding-right: 10px;" width="50%" align="left" valign="bottom">'. $topbox.'<div style="padding: 6px; text-align: center;">'.$context['random_news_line'].'</div>'.$botbox.'</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
..and replace with :
echo '
</td></tr></table>';
echo '</div>'.$botbox.'</td>';
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '<td width="50%" style="padding-right: 10px;" width="50%" align="left" valign="bottom">'. $topbox.'<div style="padding: 6px; text-align: center;">'.$context['random_news_line'].'</div>'.$botbox.'</td>';
echo '</tr></table>';
Hope that helps. :)
hey bloc
a problem arose when i put your theme on my forum
this comes up
"Notice: Undefined index: hello_member in /home/raption/public_html/pbn/SMF/Themes/helios/index.template.php on line 157 raven, you have 0 messages, 0 are new.

thats at the top
could u please help me?
Do you use the latest version of SMF? Helios is done for RC1, not the betas...
Hey, awesome job on this theme Bloc! ^_^ I installed it and it works great right out of the box. My members like it too, but I've found that the theme has limits on the size of the avatars. If the avatar image is wider than about 150px the scrollbar shows up on the bottom of the image. If the image is taller than about 200px, the avatar doesn't show up at all. I know that those seem like large sizes, but I've never wanted to have any restrictions on the images that my members could use .. well within reason of course. ^_^;; Please, any tips on how to cure this would be welcome. Also, I would also like to add by site banner to the top of board index, and I'm afraid that I'll need a little help with that too.
I tested it with a 200x300 avatar on my test-board and I do not have any problems there really...if you mean the userinfo-box. But in the display-view the scrollbar does show up on the bottom , meaning the avatar is bigger than the space allowed for user-info on the left.
This is what you can do:
- open up Display.template.php in your Helios(?) theme folder and find:
// Show information about the poster of this message.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
- take out the style="table-layout: fixed;" bit and the avatar will show up in full.
A banner to the top of the boardindex? If you mean on top of everything - userinfo too - you can just go to the admin section , find "current theme setting" and fill in the "logo" box with a link to the banner (picture), then choose "location of logo" to "top".
Much Thankies Bloc-san! The avatars now all look okay. ^_^ The logo settings thing is something new that I haven't seen before and a nice convenience. Did you come up with that yourself or is it a new feature that came out with RC2?
No, that is my idea..who knows maybe rc2 will have it too :)
And a nice idea it is too ;) Although as a tip for future revisions, it would be nice if you could add HTML code to the logo link from within the Admin area, if I tried to do anything like set size, add a hyperlink, add alt text etc it wouldn't work. In the end I had to do it myself manually within the php file. Maybe something to think about for the future!
I launched my customised version of your theme on my site this weekend, and it's proved to be a resounding sucess. Couldn't of done it without you bud ;D! I also notice that you've taken on the idea of having dual info/news type boxes at the top of the page for your site too! ;)
Yes I have. :)
I have tinkered with the idea of having a box for html-code, especially for the Themis theme - where i wanted to have a sidebar with all your extra buttons,links etc. (in html). But a severe limitation is that the variable that holds that in the database is set to a fixed size...
So it was hopeless to put in more than a couple of links+image tags in there. I assume one must do something with the source files in order for it to accept more characters.
Sigh.... I suppose it could be lengthened....
! The value of theme options and theme settings can now be much longer. (smf_1-0.sql, upgrade.php)
-[Unknown]
:) Excellent. I will certainly put that to good use!
Thanks, dude :D
Exactly what I was looking for. Good work :)
I could get the logo showing when its on the "top" but not when its on the "right top corner"?
Nice skin btw.
ah...sorry. I changed that, but forgot to update the admin section. Currently it will only show logo on top, and the news on the right-top instead.
Will there be an update to the theme that fixes this problem?
BTW Great theme! I customized it a little for my site (mainly I just changed the colors) and it looks GREAT! Thanks Bloc!
http://spawnpoint.servegame.com/spforum/index.php
You're welcome! The color you used is really "spacey".. ;) Gives a special feeling to the site.
I am planning to add RC2 features to the theme - mainly adding "mark unread" button and other small bits, and will update at the same time the admin panel with option of centering left/right/center the logo + once again get the place to put it working right.
I have been busy starting on a new theme, therefore not doing this at once.... ;)
Bloc.. you rock! I had another forum installed and was just about to bring it live... then I saw this ;D
It fits my website as close as one could get without designing it specifically.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I still have some modding to do on the pod graphics so that it mirrors my site, but you got me 90% there!
Thanks again!

very nice work, can't wait for any improvements :)
I love this theme but I get the following error when I try to edit the template or css file
The file you are trying to edit... can't even be found!
Here is link to my board
http://www.thebandalliance.org/smf
Not sure what that can be...I never use the function myself, just use an ordinary text-editor and ftp it up afterwards. :)
But maybe I can help with what you want to do?
Question on Helios...
For some reason, the Helios Theme thinks that the "online" icon is the "YIM" icon
I looked in the code, and the area is calling for YIM... but it's showing the online "face".
Does anyone know what is happening here or where the actual use of the icon is determined?
--Kindred
It fetches the icon from Yahoo..so it must be there the error occurs.
Bloc,
Shouldn't it use the YIM.GIF file I have in my images directory?
Not sure, actually...in my setup, the YIM part of the profile shows online status image - not the icon that look like "Y!". So I am not sure why this is.

I get the exact same error message, and when I asked about it [Unknown] was the only person to answer. He said something like, "it must be something serious, because that error message is rare." (heavily paraphrased) But the long and the short of it is that nobody seems to know why it's happening.
Personally, I think it must be something to do with an incompatibility between RC1 and RC2 (forum versions) - the skin was originally made for RC1. And if you go into the update thingy on your forum, all the Helios templates show up as needing to be upgraded. Trouble is, I don't know if that would screw anything up even worse.
Any ideas, Bloc? Would updating the templates screw up the skin? Thanks :)
BTW, my forum's at http://www.cafedoom.com/forum/index.php? - haven't been able to centre the banner, because I can't access the template. Thanks for the skin tho - I think it's the best one of the lot :)
I really like the design of this theme. I really would like to see this done in light colors. Blues,whites,and grays maybe.

Well, I am going over all my themes for RC2 ASAP, been delaying a bit for the contest :), and will make necessary changes then. Upgrading skins? I think the upgrading only occurs in the default theme..and if you have Helios AS the default(folder called default instead of Helios for instance) the theme will surely break. They are quite different.

Yes, I have been thinking about a "lighter" version. We have to see what I come up with. its just the graphics + some color codes that needs changing after all.. ;)
remember, you NEED to keep the "default" theme folder inviolate...
Well, not quite so bad... but Helios only modifies a few of the *.template.php files. Any files not modifed by (and present) in the Helios directory are looked for in the Default directory.
So, If you want to make Helios your board's only theme...
make sure your default directory remains as it is from base SMF (or modded)
install Helios as a seperate Theme in its own directory
set your board's theme options to use Helios as the default theme and uncheck the box that allows users to change their theme.
Check your mod files to see if they mod any of the *.template.php files in the Helios directory and apply the mods manually to those files.
BTW: I am running RC2 with the Helios theme without any issues....
this is a great theme! I hope to see imprivements for the future
Where i can find a helius(black theme)botons in Portuguese?help please and regards.
I actually have replaced the standard Helios buttons with buttons form Andrea's simple-black set...
(http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=6981.0)
They are slightly smaller (height) than the standard Helio set, but with a black background, it's not obvious... and I like the icons and colours.
I believe she has that one translated into a dozen languages....
<edit> but no portuguese... hmmm... maybe if you translated the text, she would make a copy for you?

Check the style.css file for :
/* Normal, standard links. */
a:link
{
color: #e0ffe0;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:visited
{
color: #e0e0ff;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
color: #fff080;
text-decoration: none;
}
Just change all the color-defs to the same value(your preferred one)in this section and links will be the same whether normal, visited or hover(if you wish).
For text colors all over..there are a few, but start with the "body" section and see how far you get:
/* By default (td, body..) use Tahoma in black. */
body, td
{
color: white;
font-size: small;
font-family: verdana, helvetica, serif;
}
Glad you like the theme. :)
excellent! got that sorted - now when i try to put a logo in the top right it doesnt show - but if i put it top left it shows :S is it a dimensions thing?
No, its a "bug" sort of... ;) It will soon be corrected together with some other enhancements. The code for it to show on the right is missing ( the newsbox is there instead now ), but the option is still active. I will put in the choice of putting it right, and at the same time pushing the newsbox under userbox/newsbox to make room.
Or perhaps some other setup, have quite decided yet....
oh right that explains it! thank you :D

As I don't speak english a lot :-\ i'll just say: your theme is splendid!!!! I'm waiting after graphics in french if you can because i'd like to use your theme for a forum for artists (I'm actually working on it for one of my friends, an artist) and a lot of them are quite lost with informatique
thank you very much really
En français: merci beaucoup pour ce thème splendide que j'aimerais utiliser pour un forum (actuellement en construction) destiné à des artistes amateurs. Comme beaucoup d'entre eux ne sont pas trop familiarisés ni avec l'informatique, ni avec l'anglais (encore moins que moi lol) s'il était possible d'avoir les images en français...ce serait bien! Merci beaucoup et encore bravo pour ce très beau thème
amicalement Pimprelune
I am working on a french button set ( several languages in fact ), and will have it ready soon. :)
Update on the theme. Fixed the corner/top logo thing, updated for RC2 and several language-sets are now available for download.
See first post for details.
cool :) do i just upload it over the old one? i've modified the text colors and the on/off images - will this affect them?
øhmmm de knapper bloc hehe hvad fanden er suar (Reply)
der skulle nok stå svar igen eller svar suar er ikke dansk ved jeg da :P

Yes, try to backup at least your style.css,and on.gif, on2.gif and off.gif first. Better yet - the whole theme and then just update with the new files...after that you can overwrite the style.css and images again with your own.

(sukk) Det står faktisk "svar" - det er skrift-typen som er slik. Det er tatt fra den danske oversettelsen - og den er vel ikke feil?
For others that are curious - the font used in this is a bit special, sometimes a "v" looks like "u". ;)
I have to admit I love this theme best of all! Saaaweet! :D
Awesome work Bloc!
I just wanted to say this is a great theme. I have the shoutbox installed and to show you how I accomodated it see the attached image. A little shorter than I would like it but I can live with it until my portal of choice is ready and I can just add it to a block ;D
If anyone wants my modded template file let me know and I will get it to you. Again great work everyone at my site likes this one best so far!
(http://www.bedgar.com/images/helious_shout.jpg)
One thing about this layout I like is when that topbar is minimized so is the shoutbox.
;D It looks great! I assume you have placed it in the theme files? If you want it taller, you *could* put your code inside a <div> or a <table> tag..specifying the height there. But I agreed that shoutbox in a block is better.
As for blocks and portals, I am doing a small portal of my own...tightly integrated with the themes and SMF, but its early stages yet. I just dont want 2 systems on my forum/website, so I am doing it as a mod within SMF.
Anyway, just ask if your are stuck on something in the theme - maybe I can help out. :)
You know the buttons you've used for it? Like the bit saying 'Home' etc.? Well, do you have any blank ones (or any chance you'd submit it to the button generator)? As I'd want to be able to have a button labelled 'Affiliates', one labelled 'Arcade' etc.
The font I use is a bit esoteric...but just post your requests here, and I will make them.
First off:
(http://www.bloczone.net/files/helios/buttons/affiliates.gif) (http://www.bloczone.net/files/helios/buttons/arcade.gif)
If you want icons, let me know. :)
Yeah with themes for YaBB I was much more confortable working with them. My PHP is lacking at best. I am good with html and I know the PHP basics. I can look through a file and kinda tell what is going on but in the end, I can only get things to work by trying 50 of my "theories" :P I mean at one point on my page when you minimized the header the entire page with the exception of the topbox where you put your banner would minimize lol. In the end I finally managed to get it to work :D
Anyways good job once again I will let you know if I need buttons ;D
If you found YaBB's template easier... use it ;).
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=16842.0
I still would say the more advanced ones, like Helios, impossible with the YaBB method... are better.

"topbar" added. Put in your own HTML code at the very top of the page.
Where can I find Topbar at ?? To add HTML to?
Look in your admin section , under "current theme settings".

It is indeed easier but it also sucks way more than a cool theme like this :) it just means I have to rely more on people to make cool themes lol
Well honestly I myself at one time preferred the a yabb version better, although after a few months on here, I have LEARNED SO Much about PHP / HTML and sites. I would not trade this experience for anything. I read today someplace about unknown talking about learning from building this forum, well he is right, SMF brings the webmaster into the development of the forum and the theme. The easy way isn't always the best way. This is a powerful forum, at version 1.0, I dare to imagine version 6.0 or later.
with that said, do what I did, change into comfy cloths, some coke, and read, read, read, post, post, post. You will not find a better support staff anywhere.
Now, why I am here, Helios (Green), I hope this is the right topic. I was wondering if Version 1.0 will have the News in the header like the brown one? Or can I make that change myself?
Also my button request: Staff, Tournaments, DanceLogs, Chatrooms, Arcades, Machines, & other
no, hurry, when you get the time... :) Thanks a Bunch....

Um, not quite sure what you mean by news on top? The newsbox is either to the right of the userbox or underneath it..I think in both RC1 and RC2 versions. But is it your wish to have it on top instead of the current setup?
Well what I said and I what I was meaning were both unclear... lol I ment on the right of the user box. Although, after I posted I had a second thought, I know scary, but I put the logo there instead. So I am back to being happy :)
Thanks :)
:) :)
Having another critical problem, I went to alter my menu and wait for the images, although somewhere there is a restriction on the width of the menu? I added some buttons and Poof logout vanished.
Any work around? Also, thinking about maybe building a slightly diffrent menu bar that is kinda detached from the flow for larger menus. Maybe I should just eliminate some button links. lol
Yes, this one is rather limiting...maybe take away altogether the bar under the main buttons will help. That way buttons can just flow on 2 lines if need be.
I thought about that, although I really do not want to take away from your theme that way. I was looking at all the images used to build the the theme and thinking of a way to put something together and would stay in the spirit and look of the original theme.
Although I was going ask you and Babylonking if I could merge the Topleft box a little. I love is PM message handling. :D I won't with eather of you have a problem with it.
Thanks :)
Adjust as you wish. :)
Thanks... although, I am trying to stay with what you made. Hence the reason I downloaded it, I like it. Although, I am going to have to remove the Menu table for now and use just a row of buttons.
Not sure how to do this, looking into it now.
Again, Thanks for the Theme, Love it, Memebers Love it, and easy to work with.
There any chance you will be doing this in any other color sets? Maybe something just a bit litter, maybe in blues or greys?

I HAVE done a "silvery" version , but wasn't quite happy with it...I might try a couple of ideas though. It would just mean the graphics , nothing else - as in Helios Green. ;)
Great! :)
Can't Wait!
Wouldn't that mean I would just have to copy the green into another directory, and upload the new image folder? That would be sooo sweet. I have made several changes to the the code to customize it, and would be way to GREAT to just upload a graphics folder. :)
Yes, it means that. You would just have to replace the single "pod" folder inside "images" - so your buttons, code and mods stay intact.
Hi,
I'm from The Netherlands and i've downloaded the Dutch language pack for my forum.
But there are many wrong words in the Language pack
I've updated / changed the whole language pack, so every word is now spelled correctly,
and I've used a new font
(http://www.sharewarez.nl/forum/Themes/helios/images/dutch/new_topic.gif)
(http://www.sharewarez.nl/forum/Themes/helios/images/dutch/new_poll.gif)
Download Updated Language Pack (http://www.sharewarez.nl/dutch.zip)
Greetz,
R3Mo
Thank you...but I assumed the dutch buttons in the default theme was correct? I took the text-strings from that theme.
If the default theme is wrong you should contact the dutch translator though. In the meantime I think I will just keep the strings which is official at this stage.
You can do that,
but I can guarantee you you've made a few mis-types at the new buttons..
Example;
(http://www.sharewarez.nl/wrongbuttons/admin_move.gif)
Has to be "verplaats" instead of "veerplats"
(http://www.sharewarez.nl/wrongbuttons/admin_remove_poll.gif)
Has to be "Poll verwijderen" instead of "poll verwijder"
(http://www.sharewarez.nl/wrongbuttons/go_up.gif)
Has to be "omhoog" instead of "omhuug"
(http://www.sharewarez.nl/wrongbuttons/new_topic.gif)
Has to be "nieuw bericht" instead of "nieuew bericht"
Dutch is really a hard language to learn for foreign people, but i'm born here, so trust me, they really are wrong ;D
For example;
(http://www.sharewarez.nl/wrongbuttons/admin_remove_poll.gif)
Like I said, it has to be "Poll Verwijderen" but "Verwijder Poll" is good too, but "Poll Verwijder" isn't
Grtz
Remo
I am almost sure that the buttons were translated by someone who was a native-speaker of Dutch and lived in the Netherlands.
Are you sure this couldn't be a different accent/style or something? Similar to Berliner German...
-[Unknown]
No, I'm sorry
Please believe me,
there isn't a accent in The Netherlands that I don't know!
And even if it was an accent, why should you use an accent instead of the real dutch translation?
The translation i've made is 100% dutch, without mistypes!
I think the translator of your version of the dutch language pack has done it with a translation website, or something like that.
Dutch is a very hard language, and there isn't a common place for a word in a sentence, like I mentioned in my 2nd post.
Trust me, I wouldn't create a new translation just for fun ;)
Remo
Ok, but then who IS the official translator for the dutch language - if there is one(maybe even make you it? ;) ) And maybe its time to update both themes here too... :)
Well, I have no idea who made the first (official) translation..
I would love to help you with the translation, cause I know a lot of dutch people would appreciate a good one!
Greetz
Remo
I can surely update the themes I made.. :) but for default theme I think you maybe have to talk to Andrea about it.
It would benefit everyone if the translation is correct - and new themes/buttons would not have to be updated again at some point.
Well, I'm sure Compuart (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=27) has been staring at those buttons long enough to notice any errors... and I'm certain he knows Dutch well....
-[Unknown]
I will explain it to Compuart in dutch,
and i'm positive that he has never seen these buttons before, because they really aren't right..
@Compuart
Het gaat over de spelling op de knoppen van het Nederlandse language pack op het Helios theme..
Ik weet niet of je al eens op de spelling van de officiele buttons hebt gelet, maar ik heb er toch vrij veel fouten uitgehaald,
maar volgens mij geloven [unknown] en Bloc dat niet ???
Zou jij ze ff van de spelfouten op de hoogte willen stellen??
Alvast bedankt ;D
Remo
Hengelo (ov)
I'm pretty sure there are no spelling errors in the default theme, but the buttons differ from the default theme and therefor do contain some small errors.

Yep, R3Mo is right. This is how the text labels currently are stored in the language file
$txt[132] = 'Verplaats onderwerp'; (button text can also be 'Verplaats bericht')
$txt['poll_remove'] = 'Verwijder poll';
$txt['topbottom4'] = 'Omhoog';
$txt[33] = 'Begin een nieuw onderwerp'; (but the button text should be 'nieuw onderwerp')
$txt['poll_remove'] = 'Verwijder poll';
:P
Pfff, I'm glad to hear my Dutch is still up-to-date ;D
Corrections is on the way. :)

As promised, heres a "silver" version of Helios. Its just graphics, so just upload the folder "pod" into your own folder named "pod" - in themes/helios(?)/images/ and overwrite the existing files there.
Download: http://www.bloczone.net/files/helios/helios-silver-pod.zip
(http://www.bloczone.net/files/helios/helios-silver.jpg)
AWSOME! :) Installing it now! :) THANKS!
BTW, I love it! :)
Edit:
Done. Looks great.
I get this error after installing the Helios theme on RC2
Notice: Undefined index: Notice: hello_member in /home2/www/jrbk/dsmf/Themes/helios/index.template.php on line 161 JrBK, you have 0 messages, 0 are new.
JrBK is my username
How do I ge that Notice line to disapear? Thanks
I love the silver...
If your forum is this one - http://www.jrbk.net/dsmf/ - I would suggest you update the forum to RC2 - the latest. The errors is caused by missing language strings...Helios is designed for RC2 and use additional strings that do not exist in Beta 5 version.
Very nice modification with the silver, Bloc!
I do still stand by my comments in the first post I made though... maybe I'll try and bend it to the way I want it some day, because converting your silver theme into gold would make it fit into my site very well... :)
Thanx. :) A gold version? Sure. It basically is similar to the silver, only a different hue. That could be done.
Added another graphic to use - Gold - , along with links to both Silver and Green versions.
See first post for details.
These are very SAAAWEEET!!! Love em all! Go Helios!
I downloaded it and added a new theme. However, the problem is the files I extracted from the Gold zip I downloaded is the normal default color. I have green and silver in too and they both work fine. I checked the files i extracted and sure enough none of them are gold. Anyone else have this problem?
Filename is helios-gold-pod.zip
Thanks.'
<EDIT>
I wanted to also note that the thumbnail for each color has not been updated, is the file there and I am not seeing?
</EDIT>
Firstly - I am sorry the Gold file was wrong. There was a mix-up of files, but it should be right now.
Secondly - no, thumbnails for gold/silver isnt there..they should be in the "images" folder and the archives only contain the pod folder inside "images". But you could perhaps use the images from the first post? Just rename them and put them in right folders..
uh it me, or are the files messed up within the zips? *confused* uploaded green pod to my forum but it ended up blue...
*grins* Now this where not only a suprice to the forum users but for me as well. ;D
*blush*...ok, then, now the confusion is complete :D
I have checked all archives now and they should be right this time (....)
hehehe thanks Bloc I will check it when I get home ;)
Wonderful theme I must say, but it is not XHTML transitional. Some minor thing are forgotten, like not closing a <span> at one point, incorrect number's of </td> and </tr>'s and other things. Not terribly hard to fix, and I have done most myself, but it needs to be fixed in the main skin.
Yes, I know. It has been on my todo-list for a while...just not on the top of it. :)
When I made the theme, i wasn't so aware of XHTML and I have kind of postponed it. But right now I have more time again, so I will take a look at it.
Quote from: OvermindDL1 on December 05, 2004, 01:47:07 PM
Not terribly hard to fix, and I have done most myself, but it needs to be fixed in the main skin.
So you mean you have already fixed most of these things? Which version have you done this with? If it's the latest, Bloc will probably appreciate seeing those files.
I would...but its not important anymore. ;) The theme validates now. Archives are updated with the changes.
Yes, it was the latest version, but as its done, consider it gone and a new version downloaded. :)
:) There are some new images for the php, mysql, and validation links...if you want to use them : http://www.bloczone.net - on the bottom of the screen.
In the download color scheme is there an image for the shrink buttons? (silver, gold, etc...)
Quote from: Springer on December 11, 2004, 05:45:59 PM

I second that. Just installed it and my upshrink button is the default.
It really isn't hard to make so here you go:
Green Upshrink Buttons w/ Green Thumnail (http://files.bedgar.com/green.zip)
Gold Upshrink Buttons w/ Gold Thumnail (http://files.bedgar.com/gold.zip)
Silver Upshrink Buttons w/ Silver Thumnail (http://files.bedgar.com/silver.zip)
Just for kicks I added a thumbnail, take from the first post by suggestion from Bloc. ;) Enjoy!
Thank you, Mad. I did not think of the upshrink button.
I love the layout of this theme. I just cant use it cause they are to dark. Would be great to have this layout in a light color. Blues, grays, etc. Maybe even a XP lookalike.
I have played with it..but it just doesn't look that good in light color - at least as it is now. Now, Apollo is similar, I might try something between the two of them.
Quote from: Bloc on December 15, 2004, 02:05:29 PM
Thank you, Mad. I did not think of the upshrink button.
No worries :) it really took about 5 minutes ;)
If you want to just add them to your files let me know and I will remove the links :)
Thank you..I will add the files to the first post. Best to keep them separate, since the original files just has the "pod" folder. Upshrink and thumbnail should instead go in the images folder.
I can't seem to get my "News" to show ??????
Does it work on other themes then...? or is it just Helios?
Great Theme Bloc, I have been using it for awhile now and love it. I now trying to integrate a chatroom into my forum and was wondering if you could possibly create a "chatroom" button for the menu which matches the theme. I just plain suck at making graphics and have had no success at making one look like the rest.
Thanks,
Nick
If you just need the button :

Exceptional work Bloc, no doubt one of the best themes I've ever seen.
Small request; can you gen me up a button that says "Gallery" when you get a free minute?
Thanks much!
Hi There,

I have made a button-generator for Helios and Apollo/Mercury themes.
See it at http://www.vennekroken.net/bloc/helios.php
I installed the theme on my server but it didn't work. It has a bunch of letters all over the forum saying "gfx"
Check that your path to images for the theme is correct. The "gfx" is just the alternative texts when images are missing - which they will be then.
Bloc,
The button generator accepts my text in the text box and icon, but I click render and nothing happens.... (except the hit counter goes up)
Is that freely useable for a theme im making and if so i will put your name on the little bit at the bottom and a link to your site. :) Or is it not.

My forum is doing the same exact thing since I updated the theme and to smf RC2 it can be seen here:
http://www.ohioglockers.com I also liked the news box when it was below the user info box instead of to the right of it. Now its possible for the news box to seriously outgrow the info box on its left and look kinda funny.
BTW, Thanks Bloc for the image creator.

Yes..I am working on that. Its IE that behaves strangely - dont update the image. Just refresh the page and the image appears. Or better yet use Mozilla.
I know SMF has some work-around this, but I havent found out exactly how yet.

I will look into this. Others have reported it too, so I might do something different with it.
Speaking about the button generator, when I type in a C into it it looks very much like a O. The S looks like a 8.
Example:
The letters typed in on this image are C and S: (http://www.virtuadarkness.host-dot.com/images/personal/C%20and%20S.gif)
Other then that, very nice button generator! :)
By the way, It only does this for the Helios set, the Apollo set works fine. :)
Yes, its the font-type I am afraid. A bit special that one, but I kind of like it.
BTW, the thing with IE not updating should now work. I ended up adding a querystring to the image - which force IE to get the new generated image.
Bloc maybe your a great person to ask, im making a theme (or a few) but how do i change the white bits that the text goes in, in the CSS, you know like the posting box and log in stuff.

the posting box gets its background from "input, textarea, button" style defined in style.css.
Try to make a new class for "textarea" alone and remove it from the above style - then change the background-color.
For the login-box - the one on top? - look at "headerbodies" and "headertitles".

Same here IE 6. Before to generate a button I would have to refresh the page. Now I can use the render button like it's supposed to be.

As in above the "X" is an "H".

Xt.
Changed..along with the v, which looked like an u. ;)
I know I'm late to this party, just wanted to add my thanks Bloc.
Helios is perfect for my site.

8) Great Template
I got a question though..........as it is right now......the PMs get displayed with the most resent at the bttom of the page, is there a way to reverse that ???? So the most resent is at the top????
That should be possible to set in your profile - under "look and layout preferences". It isn't spesific for Helios.
Great theme... I like dark themes...
Bloc, have you by chance created a theme for Mambo that matches Helios?
well me a noobie
n found this helios theme abs. stunning !!!1 :D :D
Hi, Bloc :) I've been using your Helios template for a while now (just added the new skins too - great stuff).
Anyway, I've been trying to integrate the forum with my website by bringing buttons in from it and adding them to the main template, but I keep getting parse errors and a white screen. On vBulletin, it was easy to add buttons, but it's giving me a real headache trying to do it on SMF.
Just wondering if you, or anybody else here, could give me a few pointers about where to add the button fields, whether I need to use any special tags to keep the PHP happy, and also where and how to paste the preload javascript - I put it in the head, but it didn't seem to like it.
Many thanks for any help :)
Anybody? :D

No, not yet. I might try that...I am already looking at doing Helios for Coppermine, and could have a look at Mambo as well. ;)

First off, you have to put those in a echo statement - like echo 'your code above';
In other words your code inside single quotes.
But - as your code already include single quotes, you have to make them NOT end the statement, but rather be "escaped". That is, before all YOUR single quotes put a \

You could possibly leave out single quotes in your javascript alltogether...but check first on that one. ;)
Thanks, Bloc - I'll try it, but it doesn't seem to matter what I add to the template, I still get a parse error. For example, I added
<span></span>
with an echo, yesterday, and it still threw up an error. Tried it without an echo, moved it around, tried all sorts of things, and it always failed. I think there's something wrong with my forum that's causing the trouble, but I don't know enough to find out what it is. The only thing I can think of is the write permissions on the server - for the default templates it's 755, but on the Helios themes it's 777 - and it refuses to change when I edit the permissions. It says it's changed, but when I check its back to how it was. :-\
Where should I be adding the button code? Before or after the body tag?
echo '
document.getElementById("upshrink").src = smf_images_url + (mode ? "/upshrink2.gif" : "/upshrink.gif");
document.getElementById("upshrinkHeader").style.display = mode ? "none" : "";
current_header = mode;
}

Thanks for the help :)
No, not after the body tag...if you dont want them on top of the page that is. (and really not very elegant either.. ;) ) It depends on where you want them...but if next to the other main buttons, you will have to find the function "template_menu".
I tried it in a few different places, and I've finally got them to show where I want them!!! :D Right under the banner, above the pods.

The images show in the buttons alright, but the rollover effect doesn't work. I guess I can live with it like that (hell, I'm happy just to get them to show at all) but if you can see anything obviously wrong that's stopping it working, I'd appreciate a nod in the right direction.
Thanks very much for the help - I was about ready to quit. ::) (Still can't edit the template from within the forum - have to edit it directly, BTW - weird)
Edit: It looks like the button field is in the wrong place in the code I've posted, but it still shows up - I'll have another go at it tomorrow :)
Hi Blunt,
For editing online ( within the forum ) you must de Index-template.php chmodden to 777 than you can edit him online..
Greetings Martin
Also a few changes in admin.template.php is needed - I am not sure what version of Helios you are using.
Otherwise....
For rollovers you make want to look at this:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=21501.0
Martin - I do change the permissions on the server, but they won't change to 777 - just stay at 755. Funny part is, I can edit the two that read 755 from within the forum software, but not the four Helios skins, which are set at 777. All I get is a message saying the index template "can't even be found."
@Bloc - I downloaded and installed the version that is on the front page of this thread (RC2) yesterday, or the day before, and I've been using it as a test theme, so that the rest of the forum doesn't mess up every time I do. But at the top of the index template, I notice that it still reads RC1 in the blurb. Could it be that you've mixed up the downloads on the server, or is it the right one for RC2, and you didn't edit the blurb?
Thanks for the link to rollovers - I'll take a look at that now :)
No, the RC1 there is just something I left behind. The files are changed to RC2 where need be.
The error "cant even be found" is most likely the themes.template.php. I will look at it now.
UPDATE:
No, the themes.template.php is correct too. This is strange. What path do you use for the theme? does it have any spaces in the folder name?

1st: v many thanks for this beautiful theme.
As you see, the new gallery button is misaligned.
Here is the code:
// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.
echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a></td>';
echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/help.gif" alt="' . $txt[119] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[119]), '</a></td>';
// How about the [gallery] button?
echo '<a href="http://alone.esolutionswork.com/gallery/">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/gallery.gif" alt="' . $txt[801] . '" style="margin 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[801]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];
I'd most apreciate advice on making the new button fit.
Thank you!
Put a <td> in front of it and a </td> behind it, and it will line up like the rest. If you look at the other buttons, you will notice a <td> just before <a href... in those. ;)
(http://alone.esolutionswork.com/images/query1.jpg)
How right you are :)
Many thanks - *most* appreciated!
You're welcome. I noticed the "upshrink" image is the wrong color..there is correct colored of those in this thread courtesy of Mad :

Nope, it's "/home2/blunted/public_html/forum/Themes/"
I've got a funny feeling that when I delete the Helios default theme, and switch over to using the four fresh installs, the problem might just go away - or the whole lot will collapse :o
There is something strange going on though - if I choose to use the default SMF theme, and then go to edit the Helios template, I can get to it fine - I just can't do it from within the Helios skin. How strange is that? ::)
Strange. :) How about the "helios" folder? does it have a name with spaces?
Nope - it's simply called 'helios'. Weird, huh? :)
[Question]
Are you going to update the Helios theme for v1.0 final release?
I have not yet upgraded, but I saw messages form a couple of people that indicate some errors in their theme files after upgrading from RC2...
That is the plan yes. Just installed it myself - Helios work fine as it is though.
I upgraded to 1.0 Final using Helios as my main theme on one forum without any issues.
Same here. Only problem I ran into was I forgot to disable the ultimate shoutbox mod and the upgrade reset the skin to the classic! OH NO!!! :P
You could always restore the back up you made before the change and do it again.
[QUESTION]
How do you enable the forum news box at the top of the page after using the Helios Skin?
When is helios going to be updated for SMF 1.0??
i think he should make a helios with red in it. like the helios green, except red. that would look cool

[QUESTION]

From a user's point of view, you click on the arrow next to the 'home' button, at the top of the forum. From an admin POV, you can get to it from within the main admin c/p, where it says 'edit news'.

Soon. Right now I am doing other things first, among them getting the portal mod to beta.
But as I said , it does work with SMF v1.0....nothing drastic has changed in the templates.
It works fine with 1.0 Final.

I made a red-looking version of the green one - more plastic-like. See if you like it. ;)
Also made a more neutral blue-grey version is available - less "chrome" in it.
See first post for downloads.
(http://www.bloczone.net/files/helios/helios-red.jpg) (http://www.bloczone.net/files/helios/helios-bluegrey.jpg)
If I use the MkPortal version can I still use the pods and are there pods for MkPortal?
Yes. The graphic files is the same, the MKportal version of Helios just places things a bit different.
I like the theme, and it installed fine on v1.0, except for a couple of errors...
A site error log:
[Sat Jan 1 18:09:56 2005] [error] File does not exist: /www/htdocs/forum_smf/Themes/helios/images/pod/catbg2.gif
And in the current theme's settings I get this when trying to Modify the index template:
An Error Has Occurred!
The file you are trying to edit... can't even be found!
I will look into it.
I have one fix, for the Helios for MkPortal. The google image you use doesn't have a transparent background and so it looks weird. I have attached a google logo with a transparent background.
But following up to my previous question, how do I use the pods for the MkPortal theme, not the Mkportal+SMF theme but the one used only by MkPortal.
Sorry forgot the image: http://www.google.com/intl/en/logos/Logo_25blk.gif
Update: Helios is now for SMF v1.0 . Adjusted some of the new things(last post icon most importantly) and updated the admin error thing.
- To update just download the archive in first post again and overwrite the helios theme folder with it.
theantidote:
You mean the Helios MKPortal template...that one I haven't converted. The graphics there is smaller , it is to be used in the side-blocks mostly anyway.
So no, you can't directly use the extra color-versions here for that.
Ah, the google image. Thanks. :)
I havent got around to adjusting it, though I have seen it for some time now. ;)
Thank you for the update Bloc. :)
I am happy thay I can now use the last post feature on the Helios theme. :) I also like how each category has the topics|posts|last post header next to each one of them now. And it saves time being able to edit the style.css in the admin panel now. ;)
Great job, thanks.
Weird,
I thought the problem that I was having was because of not using the updated theme but after updating it, it's still there. The problem is that the grandient for my first category doesn't appear. The grandient for the second category appears, and the one for the third doesn't again. check it out for yourself.
http://www.thekissarmy.com/forums/
actually that link won't show anything since those are member only categories, but here is a screen shot
http://www.thekissarmy.com/tkascshot.JPG
It is doing that for the categories with new posts. Since there is no catbg2.gif image in your helios/images/pods folder it will show that. What I did was took a copy of catbg.gif and renamed it catbg2.gif and uploaded it to helios/images/pods. That will make it use the same category image whether forums in that category have new posts or not. Or in style.css of the helios theme you can change
.catbg2
{
background-image: url(images/pod/catbg2.gif);
to
.catbg2
{
background-image: url(images/pod/catbg.gif);
It appears the Helios theme doesn't have a new posts in category image as far as I can see, just an image for no new posts in a category.
;) got it working...thanks!
I forgot that. I will promptly update with the right image. ;)
I can't get it to work :(
here is a link to my forum (you have to change the theme though): http://s95291230.onlinehome.us/comic/forums/index.php
nevermind, should have read the add-on more carefully ;)
grr...i can't get it to work
http://s95291230.onlinehome.us/comic/forums/index.php
thank you very much for this theme bloc, the red/maroonish one goes great on my forum
Good to hear you like it. :)
I might do a multi-theme with all color-variations - but I am in doubt, should it be adjustable in admin section only , or in profile(letting everyone choose their preference)?
Its working on final. Very nice theme. However, after reading 17 pages of posts, did I miss the method of how to put a picture (Gif) in the main above right area?
Thanks!
There are 2 settings in your admin section - in "current themes settings" :
1. "use a topbar" - above everything. there you have to use html code for a image.
2. "logo" - either on top(under "topbar" though) , or to the right of the userbox. Here you can just put in the path to the image. No html.
Gosh, That worked flawlessly! Thanks.
Bloc,
Since you're the creator, I would like a short Midi to play when viewing the Message index page. bu chance would you know how to do this?
Thanks!
You have to put in the html code for it somewhere in MessageIndex.template.php..try this page for the the actual code: http://www.angelfire.com/fl5/html-tutorial/music.htm
I have not tried though.

I did not think of that. ;) Yes, perhaps thats the best way...allowing admin to choose one way or another.
If there is an interest I might make a template for these graphics - allowing people to make their own variations that fit in the theme code.
To add a logo what do I enter into the field in the current theme settings ...the full path to the image file I want to use ??
Presumably any image file I create just goes in the main image folder ??
Yes, the full path is best. And that means you can just put it anywhere on your server.
Quick question Bloc, or any other Helios users...
Is Helios compatable with SMF 1.0.1?
I'd like to update, but not be the first one to post errors about it here.
Thanks
Keep up the great themes

If it isn't, I have to go mess with the space-time continuum some more. Because nothing changed in 1.0.1 should break this theme ;).

Like [Unknown] and the themes change log say, there is pretty much nothing that should make it not work.... :)
Hi bloc,
I like your helios-theme very much, thx for it! Good work!
I used the helios-theme in my mambo-portal.
But I have one big problem with my mambo-template and the helios theme.
The "mainbody" bgcolor of my mambo-template (AkoDarkGem) is white.
I've choose the white color only for the screenshot to show, it's better to explain.
If I change the bgcolor in my mambo template (index.php) from white to black, it looks correctly.
Picture 1 (white): <td valign="top" bgcolor="#ffffff">
(http://img139.exs.cx/img139/2040/helioswhite8vw.th.png) (http://img139.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img139&image=helioswhite8vw.png)
The only way for correct layout ist to change "bgcolor" to black:
Picture 2: (black) <td valign="top" bgcolor="#000000">
(http://img76.exs.cx/img76/2598/heliosblack5fv.th.png) (http://img76.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img76&image=heliosblack5fv.png)
But I won't use the "black" color in my mambo "mainbody". :(
Is there no other way to change the backgroundcolor?
Have you any ideas, who I can solve this problem?
-leftfield-
(sorry for my bad english...)
This is an issue with the two CSS files...
(I played with this myself, a couple months ago, but I can't remember the xact details of what I changed around)
you need to play around with the definitions in the CSS files regarding the colours of various items. Once you figure out which item controls the background of the mainbody of mambo, you can use an alternate "name" for defining when SMF is loaded...

Hi kindred, thank you for the answer.
Can you make an example for "alternate name", I don't understand exactly what you mean, sorry. :(
By default,
template_css.css for akoDarkGem uses
BODY {
background-color : #000000;
color : #CCCCCC;
}
style.css for Helios uses
/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
background-color: #000000;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 0px;
}
OK.. no conflict there...
Then you get into the parts of akoDarkGem that define the sections, modules, etc...
.sectiontableentry1 {
background-color : #475063;
}
That is the default, light grey (with blue tones) color of the main section of the akoDarkGem web theme...
.sectiontableentry2 {
background-color : #363D4C;
}
This is a darker grey... I'm not sure where this one is used...
So, you can define the class of something (so that it refers back to the CSS file)...
For mosMainBody(), it would seem to use sectiontableentry1... but I'm not willing to spend the time right now to track it any further through the php function calls...
In theory, you can define a class in the start of SMF's index.php (if you're using [unknown]'s version of the bridge) or smf.php (if you're using Orstio's basic version) that would call a different class for loading SMF...
I made my header logo graphic and included a hotspot with a link back to the overall site home page.
However, it links to the forum home page by default.
How can i change this please.
If you use the "logo" box in admin section of Helios it links back to just the forum startpage...
To change that find this in index.template.php in your themes/helios(?) folder :
if((isset($settings['userlogo']) && !empty($settings['userlogo'])) && (isset($settings['userlogospot']) && $settings['userlogospot']=='top'))
echo '<div style="text-align: center; width: 99%"><a href="index.php"><img src="'.$settings['userlogo'].'" border="0" alt="logo" /></a></div>';
and also:
echo '</div>'.$botbox.'</td>';
if((isset($settings['userlogo']) && !empty($settings['userlogo'])) && (isset($settings['userlogospot']) && $settings['userlogospot']=='corner'))
echo '<td style="padding-right: 10px;" width="50%" align="left" valign="bottom"><a href="index.php"><img src="'.$settings['userlogo'].'" border="0" alt="logo" /></a></td>';
The parts in bold is what you need to change to your own path/link.

Hi kindred,
The background-color for mosMainBody() is defined in the "index.php" of akodarkgem-template:
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#2E3440">
<?php if ( mosCountModules ('banner') ) { ?>
<center><?php mosLoadModules( 'banner', -1 ); ?></center>
<?php
} ?>
<!-- TOP Modules -->
<?php if (mosCountModules('top')>0) mosLoadModules ( "top" ); ?>
<!-- Main Content Section -->
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
</td>
And I don't know, how I can change the background-color to "black" when I call the componente "SMF 1.0.1" without losing this nice darker green in the mosMainBody().
:-[
I'm using the "MOS_SMF_BRIDGEv2.11stable".
-leftfield-
Leftfield... this should probably be split and sent over to the mambo forum rather than hijacking Bloc's theme thread...
hmmm... my akodarkgem appears to be different from yours. but then again, I never leave anything the way I got it....
I'd suggest checking with Orstio or [unknown] to be sure, but I think you could parse an IF condition in the template file to check if mainbody was loading com_smf....
Does anyone have a "gallery" nav button for this theme?
Thnx

Edit: removed the link from this thread.
I rather not you distribute a whole theme here.
Please change the archive to just include the "pod" folder and "style.css", since that is whats modified here. There is no need for all the files.
The main files of the theme should only be the most present version, not several versions that eventually others than me will have to update. It will only confuse.

Thank you for this awesome theme. I'm testing red version. Couple of things.
1; how can i add my forum logo to upper right corner
2; Is it possible to request 2 extra buttons in finnish? I would need "chat" and "gsm" buttons.
Those extra button only if it is not too much of a trouble.

You can leave those (alt texts) as they are now, in /default/language/Modifications.finnish.php . Extra buttons you ad in index.template.php.
Thank you, and i found that logo option in admin panel. If bloc has spare time and wants to make those button i would be very gratefull.

If you can, there is a button maker here: http://www.vennekroken.net/bloc/helios.php
I will try it. Thank you. I tried to add my old buttons, but they went into wrong places :(
Ok, now i have new and working buttons, but in wrong places. I will try to see what is wrong, allthougt i complese PHP n00bie.
And also i can get my logo to show up. Only text "logo" show up. Image file name is correct
paste in the section of code... Can't promise anything, but will try to help.
Did you hard code it into the PHP file or did you add it in through the admin section? If you used the Big Box then you need to use HTML code to make it show up. I think with out code it will show as the text of the file name.
If you used the URL box below the big box you would have a image error (red X) box if something was incorrect.
Give me a little more about the problem.
No red X only text "logo" and it acts as a link to my frontpage. I used that small box under HTML box in admin section "current theme settings"
Code for button i added to index.template.php
// How about the [chat] button?
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '<td><a href="http://www.xxonkforia.net/yabbse/index2.php?action=chat" target="blank_">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/chat.gif" alt="' . $txt[801] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[801]), '</a></td>';
// How about the [gsm] button?
echo '<td><a href="http://gsm.xxonkforia.net/" target="blank_">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/mobiili.gif" alt="' . $txt[802] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[802]), '</a></td>';
OK I see we have two problems. Since you used the URL for the logo, did you use http:...../logo.gif the entire url? Also, put the url in your address bar and make sure you can SEE the image. Eliminate any small errors.
Now for the menu buttons, this is the code I use:
// Download Centre
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=download">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/files.gif" alt="' . $txt['chatAlt'] . '" target="_blank" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt['Download']), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];
you will need to make some changes, filename, url, alt text and of course the URL for the button. This should work for you.
The code seems OK....do you have a link to see it in action?
As for the logo, you should only have to insert the path to the image file, no html code there.
But can i use that "scripturl" part? Extra button i have goes to SMF outside things. I got my logo showing up thank you :D
From ($settings onwards i thing we have samekind code now.

The code seems OK....do you have a link to see it in action?
As for the logo, you should only have to insert the path to the image file, no html code there.
Path or URL ?? URL works for me? should it be a path?
By path I did mean the URL, not the absolute path... if thats what you were thinking of.
Villesa, great to hear it got solved. :)
Np Villesa, glad I could help someone for once. :)
yeah, you said path I was confused for a min!
http://smf.oldiesmann.us/index.php?theme=29
I'll add the rest of yours once they're updated for 1.0 :)
Great. ;)
Updated Helios to work with SMF v1.0.1. (some small changes).
The archives in first post has been updated.
Would u Bloc ?
Not currently..I have done a version of it..but it just dont look the same. You see, the graphics in Helios give the illusion of fading into the dark background, and they stand out well because of all the black.
When I do the same with white, its the opposite - it "recedes" instead. If you look at Apollo its really a early stage of Helios, and it just don't give the same impact.
Of course you can filter out all the black background, but then it would look "fake" somehow, because of the graphics also have dark shadows.
But i do have plans for more white/light themes as well as black/dark ones, with graphics in them. ;)
I would like to give my members the option of useing the Helios-bluegrey / Helios-Green/ Helois-Silver color themes. Is there an easy way to install 3 or all five colors and have them have unique names?
I am kinda new. I did create 3 seperate zip files with the correct 'pod' folders, but when I install the theme, they all come out as Helios.
Thanks.
Change the name in the XML before you install the theme...
Or just upload them to different folders, then place the path in the path-to-theme box and press install. They will be called "Helios" all of them, but thats just a name you can change by pressing its name in the overview. The paths will be different.
Thanks Bloc for the answer, and for making an awsome skin! I love the additional color choices.
I was able to rename the different color schemes for this theme by accessing the admin control panel, and under 'Forum Configuration' selecting 'Theme and Layout Settings'.
Then from the box on the right titled 'Theme Settings', I selected the first theme titled 'Helios' and that opened a new screen titled ' Theme Settings' and in the second box I found 'Theme URLs and Configuration' I simply edited the value for 'This theme's name: ' and it worked.
As you may be able to tell, I'm kinda new at this stuff, and it was a biggy for me. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
You're welcome. :)
I really like this theme, and have installed the generic of it.. but before I install any of the colours.. I want to make sure I've done it right.
And I'm not so sure...
www.con-version.org/forum (http://www.con-version.org/forum)
I seem to have been missing the news box... found a code in here to make it side by side.. and that made it show.. but.. they aren't the same height.
Is there a way to force the same height for the Userbox and the Newsbox?
I don't suppose you can whip up some buttons for arcade or shop can you...?
Or just put the link to the template button image or something.
Check my signature for a link to a button-generator for Helios.

Well, you could set the heights to a set value, use inline css in the div's.
But...you say you opened up and changed...there is already an option for setting news either side by side or underneath the userbox, taking into account if you use a logo too. Of course, if you altered some of the code there, it might not work...
I only made one change.. and that was putting the code you posted to someone else.. in order to make it sidexside...
previous to that.. it wasn't showing at all.... if I changed that code back (to the original.. which you've also posted in here, page 5 of thread, 2nd post down).. then I think it would show at all again.. but I'll try..
I think I have it turned it on, it displays in ther SMF default Theme..
I would check it out.. code is not my strong suit.. I can put in what I am told to put in..
There was a period where the positions did'nt work properly , and I posted that fix. But it is in the archive now. So you should just overwrite your index.template.php file with the newest, and see if it shows the way you want it to show.
Its a bit easier for me to show you how to arrange things if you use the same file as I do... ;)
where do I get that file?
Just take it from the archive in first post of this thread. Its always the latest version of the theme there.
I downloaded it again (Though today is the first time I've downloaded it at all).. and uploaded it to the theme folder online.. I haven't made any changes, at all.. it is as you've created it..
And the News is enabled... but it still doesn't show..
http://www.con-version.org/forum
Have you set "location of logo" to "top" and "enable news" in admin section / current theme settings? AND put in some news items in "edit forum news" - also in admin section?
If you check this link, this is what should appear then.. http://www.bloczone.net/smf/index.php?theme=5
Yep... Logo is set to top.. news is enabled.. and it's currently supposed to be informing people of when and where the next meeting is... but it doesn't show...
when I had cut and copied the code you had on pg 5 post 2.. it was showing there.. but it's height was not matching the Userbox Height...
Thanks alot for that it's very useful.
Great theme!
Imo the oustanding theme available for SMF - good work.
I love your theme, but can you update it to 1.0.2 and add it to the portal install???
Retell ;)
You do not need a updated theme, because there are nothing to update in the actual theme. Nothing in the theme files were changed in the update from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2.. :)
As for adding it to the TinyPortal install routine, it will not happen. The mod will just contain support for the default theme. Reasons for this is that not everyone have Helios installed, but they all have the default theme installed. And the helios theme folder could be named something else....making it impossible to actual find it by name on every .
But I am planning to release a special version of Helios to work with the mod. Its essentially just index.template.php that need to be modified a bit.
I remember Helios Prime Planet from Vin Diesel's Riddick movie :P ;)
Thats right..! :) I did not know that. But the name Helios is actually a sun god, same with Apollo. ;)

(For more information: http://www.thechroniclesofriddick.com/)
:P
I liked The chronicles of riddick pitch black better than The chronicles of riddick ;)
arghh i am tryig to get it to work on my own but it wont >:(
i was wondering something....is it also compatible with say the SHOP and ARCADE mods.
I wanna know before i go nuts and start installing mods all over the place with this theme you know.
I am not sure...if they have their own template - no problem. if they modify something in Display view, MessageIndex,index or BoardIndex, you will have to add that to Helios too.
Look at the mods install files, and then apply it to Helios if needed.
thanx very much...it will be useful.
Big thanks for your theme and for Button-generator :)
But can you make support for russian language in Button-generator for Helios?
This one http://www.vennekroken.net/bloc/apollo.php works properly
but that one http://www.vennekroken.net/bloc/helios.php print spaces instead of cyrillic symbols.
The problem is the font I use for Helios ..it does not contain support for cyrillic symbols. But I will add another font that do use them.
EDIT: added a option of using a font that support cyrillic sign/charachters. Let me know if its not working properly.
http://www.vennekroken.net/bloc/helios.php
It's OK! -) Thanks again.
Very COOL!
I haven't been around in a while, but very nice work.
We'll be using them on a support BBS.
hi Bloc,
I've been searching for the Install Instructions on these sets.
Can you point them out for me?
I may not be using the correct search terms.
Thanks
Do you mean how to install the theme..? Or how to use the extra color versions?
Uh... Hi. I've been trying to upload this theme for a while now (silver) and it doesn't work. Am i doing something wrong? Can someone help?
The silver pack is just an update of ONE of the folders of the whole theme. So you need to install the regular theme first, then just replace "pod" folder with the silver pack.
But I have decided to make a Helios with all the color versions in it. Hopefully it will be ready later today.
thanks for the great theme bloc im using silver, and am very happy with the look , also used your button generator to make an arcade button, again great work there, thanks alot...
here is a link to my site incase anyone wants to see a site running with helios silver...
www.crank0r.com
I am using the Helios Red theme on my clan's website ( www.closecombatsquad.com ). I've replaced most of the images I wanted replaced, some of which included the New Post indicator pictures that are displayed to the left of the board. I made it so that boards with old posts said Old and I replaced the on.gif with my own image so that it displayed boards with new posts with the image I made. The Old Posts picture works, although the New Posts picture DOES NOT WORK. I tried replacing on.gif AND on2.gif with my own images but it STILL would not work. Sorry if I confused anyone. Any suggestions?
-Dan The Man
Did you only modify the images, or did you modify some of the code too?
Ermm.. Where is forum news ???
Thank You
To show it, or edit it?
Edit it: admin/edit forum news
Show it: admin/current theme settings/enable news
Helios - placing it: (depends on) admin/current theme settings/location of logo

I have installed this theme and I absolutely love it! However, I'm curious to know how I would place a JPG banner at the very top of my page. It would need to be centered, linkable to our site's homepage, and I would need to know where to place the code in the template. Could someone please help me with this? Thank you!!!
Just go into admin / current themes settings / topbar - and put in any html code you might have. It will appear on top.

Awesome Bloc! Thanks a bunch!
Now I have another question regarding this. Every page looks great on our site EXCEPT when you're in the actual threads themselves. I have attached three screenshots below to hopefully explain what I'm talking about, and have explained in detail further below what help I'm in need of.
Screenshot #1This looks great with no problems whatsoever.

Screenshot #2This looks great with no problems whatsoever.

Screenshot #3Problems here... explained better below.
(http://www.sandtroopers.com/yabbse/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=224.0;id=567;image)
See the difference between your screenshot and mine (#3)? I want mine to look like yours, and I haven't edited the code at all. If need I can email you what I have, but I really want the look to be continuous and flowing throughout all the different pages in the forums. If it's a code issue could you please let me know what I need to change. I do understand that I'm using your Gold version, and I think your screenshot is just the original Helios theme, correct? Maybe that's why their appearance is different?

BTW... this is by far the BEST theme out there! Outstanding work!!! :D

Bloc, they're not showing up because I'm having an attachment problem with my recent upgrade form YabbSE to SMF. I've created a new thread requesting help for this problem here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=29383.msg223900#msg223900).
I can email you the screenshots if you'd like. :-\
That link instead of the picture is a safety precaution in SMF. Doing this will prevent hotlinking pictures from your site. Only members will see them, as it should be.
But just email the pictures to me and i will have a look.

I don't care about the hotlinking of pictures from my site. This is the only feasible way to upload images onto our FTP server, so that I can use those images on our front page. I don't have FTP access here at work. :( Can I make is so that it doesn't protect those images, and instead be a direct link to the GIF or JPG file?

Just emailed you three screenshots Bloc. Thanks! :)
I got them and looked at them...essentially the original is the same as the gold one except for the color of course.
The reason there are no "container" of metal on the actual posts display, is that i wanted them to be as wide as possible. Therefore it was left out there.

Sory, but can you explain me, how to make the forum background color black?
I run SMF with Mambo and Mambo's backgound is much brighter so some parts of forum looks not too nice %)

Take this to the Mambo forum here... this has been answered MANY times.
The short answer is: You have to edit your mambo and SMF CSS files so they do not conflict.

I still don't understand what difference you mean here..the graphics is all that is changed between original Helios and Gold Helios. Is it something different with some color...? or the placement of certain things?
When I replied last time, I assumed you meant that Boardindex looked different than Display(posts display), and explained that difference. But if that is not what you meant, you have to show me more in detail.
Bloc,
I'm sorry if I am confusing you here. The differences between the two screenshots (below) are when you're viewing a thread in the forums. Look closely at the two images. If these aren't good enough, then I'll try to explain them in further detail for you. LMK. Thanks!
(http://www.sandtroopers.com/dustrho/20050303_st_03.jpg)
Hm..that looks like something is missing. Have you tried to manually upload all the template files for helios again? And then upload the "pod" folder from the gold archive to the same folder inside the Themes/Helios(?)/images , overwriting the "pod" folder already there?
From what I can see..it seems like BoardIndex.template.php is not the one from Helios..or that it don't have access to some of the images.
Bloc, that fixed it! You rock dude!!! :D
Now I have another question about something else here. What file needs to be edited in order to an advertisement, special news story, image/photo of the week, in the area (below) that's highlighted in yellow? I've seen other boards use this extra "dead" or wasted space before. Thanks!

I think the problem is that you have a space in your Helios folder name - like "Helios folder". Try to change that to "Helios_folder" and adjust the path in admin section as well.
The image is there, but I think the CSS background style get the path wrong.

If you are going to do put the forum in a table, you will need to look at index.template.php in the forum theme folder - like {forum}/Themes/Helios(?) and possibly style.css.
Basically you can just find the <body> and </body> tags and set a <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: #000000"><tr><td> right after <body>. You may have to edit out the body style in style.css, on margins.

You will need to adjust index.template.php..easiest would be to just find this code:
// Otherwise they're a guest - so politely ask them to register or login.
else
{
echo '
', $txt['welcome_guest'], '<br />
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=login2" method="post" style="margin: 3px 1ex 1px 0; text-align:left;">
<input type="text" name="user" size="10" /> <input type="password" name="passwrd" size="10" />
<select name="cookielength">
<option value="60">', $txt['smf53'], '</option>
<option value="1440">', $txt['smf47'], '</option>
<option value="10080">', $txt['smf48'], '</option>
<option value="302400">', $txt['smf49'], '</option>
<option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['smf50'], '</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />
', $txt['smf52'], '
</form>';
}
echo '
</td></tr></table>';
And then just insert a extra <td>yourhtmlcodehere</td> right between the last </td> and </tr> in that block of code.
Just wanted to tell you that i use red, blue, green, and the standard Helios theme on my forum and my users love em. just wanted to thank you for making a friggin awesome theme! :D
There is an error in the FRENCH version:

Yes, i know some buttons needs..updating. problem I don't speak the languages..other than english and some of the scandinavian ones. ;)
If you have the time to correct them using my button-generator (http://www.vennekroken.net/bloc/helios.php), I will gladly update the files, and add some credits. If its just the one, I will update anyhow though. Just in case there are more errors with the french buttons. ;)
This is an awesome theme! Very in line with the forum I trying to create. Is there a step by step guide for installation geared for a newbie? :)
edit: SMF 1.0.2
Hi dude's ,
Im new here but not new to forum's
I loved this theme first time i seen it ..and still do ... I think Bloc did a great job and will be rewarded in the after life ;)
I have a question thogh ... Will this theme run on version SMF 1.0.2. ???
Im here looking in to this for a friend who needs a revamp , As in grayhawks post i would allso like to know if you have a step by step ???
Feel free to PM me and i would appriciate any help you can give
Again Bloc well done on a job well done ;)
Maddad
ummm.... guys... what's to do step-by-step?
unzip the theme file to your local drive
upload all the files into a directory under smf/themes (i.e. smf/themes/helios)
go to smf admin
choose theme settings
add a theme from a server directory (type in the directory you created and filled)
There... your theme has been added.
Thank you for your reply kindred ;)

Added turkish buttons for Helios, thanks to SekondeR (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=3031) for translating them. :)
See first post for details or go to http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=30254.0

The nicest SMF Theme i ever seen :-*
Could someone make the Membermap Button in German for the Helios-Theme? Would be great!

Seems I am not having such good luck with the forums this week. I have tried every possible way to get the silver pod to work, it will not work. Any ideas?
just load the normal theme
and go to ftp access and /public_html/forum/Themes/helios/images/pod
remove all the images in pod file and upload all the images in silver.zip (http://files.bedgar.com/silver.zip) into /public_html/forum/Themes/helios/images/pod file
Tried it, didn't work :-[
Remember to upload the images from the helios-silver-pod.zip, not just the silver.zip.
The silver.zip only contain a few images that are to be in the /images folder, while all the pod graphics need to be inside /images/pod , overwriting the ones already there.
I can install the generic helios but I get a white screen when trying to install the red or the bluegray. Also, would it be easy to change the color to purple?
The color versions is just graphics...the regualr is the actual theme. Read the first post for how to install it. ;)
To purple? Well, you could just try to make all graphics in the pod folder a purple-like hue, and re-upload. Just experiment with it. ;)
Hi great themes except that when I Enable News no news is showing up in my forum, do you have any ideas?
Nice Work .... Does not come close Bloc....
I think it a great start, for the newbies such as me in the forum setups
I wanted to ask the language-packs are they to be installed in a directory of there own such as german like english...
The other thing you must use another program other than photoshop, I know you can use notepad for PHP but this is very long winded when being exact with graphics can I ask what other appz are used, as I would like to create a theme since yours is very good but a bit dark I think for aquatics.... LOL
Your advise welcome
Many thanks Wayne
No, i use just Photoshop and a text editor. If you look at the code you will see some tricks that php can do. For instance, the looong line of laying out the html of one part of the "pod", is kept in a variable.
That means I can make one variable contain the top-part of the pod and one for the lower part. the first end with a open <td> and the second start with a closed </td>. So i can just type the top-variable+my content+bottom-variable.
And here is the beauty of it, instead of repeating these down the template, I can just name the variable where I need it.
This have to be typed for each new 'somecontent' , right?
echo '<table><tr><td>';
echo 'somecontent';
echo '</td></tr></table>';
echo '<table><tr><td>';
echo 'someothercontent';
echo '</td></tr></table>';
whereas this can just be repeated, and the code is maintained ONE place only:
$starttag= '<table><tr><td>';
$endtag= '</td></tr></table>';
echo $startag . 'somecontent'. $endtag;
echo $startag . 'someothercontent'. $endtag;
echo $startag . 'somethirdcontent'. $endtag;
When there is much html code - like in a graphic/table intensive theme like Helios - you can see the benefits.
Also, i believe strongly in writing up things on paper at first, then in Phtoshop with tables and all. After that then I code it, always using just the text editor, to make sure I have control(and overview) of all the tables etc. I don't want to leave that to a WYSIWYG HTML editor , because it would then be harder to spot mistakes, or make small, but significant changes.
- the german buttons for example will have to be in a folder named "german" inside "images"
Thanks Bloc for that...
Got some things sorted...
Can I be really cheeky and ask for some help with the index.template.php as I would like to be able to place a banner here... as show I just grabed a white one so you can see clearly...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/nokoto/Online_Images/AddingAdd.jpg)
Since this programing of PHP is rather new, I used to the basic HTML ....
I think this would be useful for others may be as well
Many thanks Wayne
Sure. :)
To place a banner there, look for this chunk of code in index.template.php:
// Otherwise they're a guest - so politely ask them to register or login.
else
{
echo '
', $txt['welcome_guest'], '<br />
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=login2" method="post" style="margin: 3px 1ex 1px 0; text-align:left;">
<input type="text" name="user" size="10" /> <input type="password" name="passwrd" size="10" />
<select name="cookielength">
<option value="60">', $txt['smf53'], '</option>
<option value="1440">', $txt['smf47'], '</option>
<option value="10080">', $txt['smf48'], '</option>
<option value="302400">', $txt['smf49'], '</option>
<option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['smf50'], '</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />
', $txt['smf52'], '
</form>';
}
echo '
</td></tr></table>';
If you look ath the last line there (</td></tr></table>) , thats where you make the change. Do something like:
</td><td align="right"><img src="banner.jpg" alt="" /></td></tr></table>
Many thanks bloc I sorted that banner out I tried to do the same for another image in the footer it works but the left part of the pod goes wonky... LOL
And when I put the <td </td> close before and after it vanishes... completely
Whats the reason for this do you know... I hungry the information...
Code Below
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
<tr><img src="pp_donate.gif" alt="">
<td valign="middle" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap;">
', theme_copyright(), '
</td><td align="right"><span class="smalltext">';
// Show the load time?
if ($context['show_load_time'])
echo
$txt['smf301'], $context['load_time'], $txt['smf302'], $context['load_queries'], $txt['smf302b'];
Many thanks Wayne
try to just do like this:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap;">
', theme_copyright(), '
</td><td align="right">

$txt['smf301'], $context['load_time'], $txt['smf302'], $context['load_queries'], $txt['smf302b'];

I don't mind..but isn't that button from this theme? http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=23780.0
If it is, you should at least mention that it comes from Owdy's theme.
Hi Bloc
Yep ok
Sorry I rushed out side as grandfathers car just been broken into... Some damaged the main drivers lock, can be opened with anything screw driver, tin can opener... >:(
The main buttons where from Owdys theme, rules are that they are FREE ONLY IF THERE USED SMF Forums Please respect this...
I have tweeked the buttons to fit in with blocs theme as I feel it complments the theme.
OK Bloc Sorted
Happy days peeps
Wayne
Hi Bloc
That code does the same makes it go wonky
I would it be on the Left as to right if possible, any ideas
Many thanks Wayne
ah yes , there isn't really space under there for it..maybe you could have under the last "pod" graphics?
cool. i just installed it. but onw thing is missing..... when you go and post the special effects and smilies buttons are missing
? .... which version of SMF are you using? And do you have any mods installed?
smf-latest
no mods
The BBC button images should be there. As for the smilies, that is something you set in admin section- not in Helios.
the bbc is not in there. ill take a screenshot twmorrow
screen: http://img163.exs.cx/img163/7696/smf8la.jpg
There's an option in your settings to show/not show the bcc buttons. Are you sure it's enabled?

SMF 1.03 is buggin' about the Display.template.php version. FYI.
What kind of message do you get?

Simply, one file version doesn't match the default theme's...
Screen shot attached
I see. It seems the Display.template version number has changed, I will check what need updating.
bloc... the only change to Display.template.php was a switch:
<search for>
<input type="hidden" name="icon" value="xx" />
<input type="hidden" name="notify" value="', $context['is_marked_notify'] || empty($options['auto_notify']) ? '0' : '1', '" />

<input type="hidden" name="goback" value="', empty($options['return_to_post']) ? '0' : '1', '" />
</replace>
whoah! awesome templates :)
btw... how do you add links to the template ( probably some affilaite links at the bottom/top)
Here is my forums
http://www.thebandalliance.org
I am using Bloc Helios theme...which btw I love thank you very much.
As you can see I have it running with mambo and want to shorten the forums. I want to get ridof stats, and the time..time is redundant since i Have that on the top menu of mambo. I also would like to move where it shows how many private messages to maybe the bottom or something. I really would like to get rid of the header is that possible? Thanks

Yes, its possible. Although some code has to be removed. If you open up index.template.php and remove this:

That will get rid of the whole header. But you probably don't want the upshrink button anymore, so remove this line too:
echo '<td><a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank-upshrink.gif" alt="" style="margin: 0px 0;" /></td>';
You want the PM section available somewhere...present on all pages , or just on the forums start page?
Thanks, i will use these Themes, but are the following Themes also in german possibility?
Green Plastic?
Silver
Gold
Red
Blue-Grey
While these Themes i want to take for Alternative Themes...
Thanks
Yes, you install Helios several times, and then overwrite the "pod" folder with the color version you want in each. The one language + buttons is placed in all the Helios installations.
I love these themes! Thank you for taking the time to do these and sharing them.
The question I have is...
if you go here:
http://www.dirtyjeeps.com/nctuners/forum/ssi_examples.php
and look at the menubar function. It has part of the bar graphic attached to it. How do I get that off of there so I can use the menubar on the main page?
Thank you.
QuoteYou want the PM section available somewhere...present on all pages , or just on the forums start page?
Thanks Bloc! I just woke up so have not had a chance to try it, but yes I still need PM somewhere, i dont know where. I would love in the upper right next to my logo but i doubt that possible because that is part of mambo.
Davy...
Why do you need PM somewhere??
If you ar eon Mambo, then PMs are listed in the login form... alternatively or additionally, you can add a link in the usermenu to index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=##&action=pm

Hi kindred, thanks for reply.
I dont have mambo and SMF bridged, in fact at this point users dont even login to mambo at all i disabled that feature only because I dont know if i really have a need at this point. I do have coppermine and smf bridged though. That really came in handy.
I will try that other option...thanks
This is a great theme!

It's very simple. All you need to do is download the red pod package. Extract the files and upload them to your /Themes/helios/images/pod directory. It's something someone could do for you in just a few minutes, but it would require access to your server.

You should already have all the necessary images inside the "red" archive. Maybe you missed some when uploading? They need to overwrite current ones.
Also, check that you are using the latest version of Helios , there were some changes quite a while back.

I am getting it. :)
I see how everything works now. Some of the images uploaded wrong. ;) I almost have it.
Got it. :) -I think- lol
I really love this theme and have found that I can do a lot with it. I thought about adding a banner inside the information box. I've decided to move the news fader to the box. What do I need to do to move the news fader from it's own seperate box to the right side of this one.
(http://carmenrasmusen.com/images/forum_03.png)
As I mentioned in the PM, its hard to move the actual newsfader up there, since its only present in the boards index, whereas that portion you display is present in all pages.
Ok... I want to be able to upload the themes so that people can choose which colour they want to use.
How do I do that?
Easiest would be to simply upload - not use "browse" in admin section - the Helios theme to 3-4 different folders, named Helis_red, Helios_green etc. (don't use spaces).
Then upload the "pod" folder from the color variations and replacing the "pod" folder in each of these Helios folders...and simply install them all by writing in the path in the admin section and presing "install".
A bit cumbersome, but there you have it.
Hrmmm - looking at the 'pod' folder, the default one has like 62 picutres. But uploading the contents of 'helios-pod-red' will mean it has 91 files.
What's those extra image files for exactly?
Also, there is another 'zip' file inside this one that have about 60 files in it.
EDIT: Don't worry, looks like the ZIP was just zipped up an extra time. It's the only one that has the extra zip in it.
I will check it.

Hi
I am trying to reduce the width of the Helios theme, so that it fits with the widlth that I have for the rest of my website. Where do I go to reduce the width to 760px? Thanks
Easiest way is to find this code:
<body>';
And replace with:
<body><div style="width: 760px;">';
and finding this:
echo '
</body>
</html>';
replacing with:
echo '</div>
</body>
</html>';
Hi
I would like to get SMF, using the Helios theme, centered but cannot figure out how. Here is the website. http://www.tagderry.com/youth/home.shtml If you click on Forum (up top) it will load the SMF with Helios theme. Any help would be appreciated.
Try removing all the "align=center" in the first divs..they center the content rather it seems.
Have you tried setting align="center" in JUST the first <table> tag, leaving the aforementioned divs free of any alignment?
Hi Bloc,
Thanks for the reply. I am not sure... I would assume that you are referring to index.template.php??? I have tried a few different things in between the <body> tags, but my knowledge of php code is limited. I did find a message on the smf forum that talked about it but it didn't seem to provide a solution. You can find it here. http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=33355.0 What was suggested is to create a table to surround the entire forum with align="center". Each time I do though it returns the follow error message. I have tried changing things around in addition to adding the '; after the html commands.
Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/helios/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.
You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.
I have even tried to tell the style sheet to center the body but I am not sure what the code is that would give it that command. I feel like I have done all that I know to do. If you haven't checked it out yet you can see it here. http://www.tagderry.com/youth/smf/index.php
Bloc, any suggestions would be helpful

Basically you need to add both a containing <div> right after the <body> tag, and THEN a <table> tag with align="center" after that. Then it will be centered. The key here is to have something aligned, it must be relative to a container.
I have attached the modified file here, in case you need it. Just rename it to index.template.php.

This is a theme called Helios for those interested. :) It's probably not everyones's cup of tea, but I enjoyed making it tremendously - and hopefully others will find a use for it. There is a test-forum at http://www.bloczone.net/smf where the theme can be seen in full effect.
Add-ons:
If you want a different look on the theme, just download one of these alternative sets and upload its content in the ..themes/helios(?)/images/pod/ folder, overwriting the original files.

Installing is explained elsewhere in this board but if you have any problems , just ask and I will try to help.
As with my other theme, the option of adding a logo ( picture ) is in the admin section ("current themes settings"), along with choosing where to put it. If you don't want to use it, leave the textfield blank. Graphics are free to use as long as they stay within a SMF forum.
Any comments are welcome.

How do you gather all the zip files together so you can install everything at one time, not sure. You know the additional upshrink buttons and all. Or will the admin panel know what to do with those files, and if this is so what and where do you find that on your admin pane.? ;)

Unfortunately, that must be done manually. Extract the theme and it's modifications and combine them. Once combined, re-zip the files (with NO subfolder) and upload the Zip file through your Admin panel.

Helios is now updated to a multi-color theme, changing to all the color variations in easy to click buttons on top. Also added adjustable width and centering the theme. Plus easier addition of extra buttons.
Take a look at first post for details.
I just installed the new multitheme, and it doesn't work properly - it appears that the grapics are linked in my numbered directories, but the actual directories seem to have color names . . . I am just figuring this out now . . . but otherwise this is a really nice looking theme.
Will this be updated for use with TP?

uhm..that sounds strange..it should search for the theme folder/pod/colorname..not any numbers.

my test forum

user name and pass will pm to you
this is my favorite theme, i had it installed on my forum before, but the server went down and it got deleted, great work there, love it
Never use Usavio. Trust me.
i figured that out know lol
Im not sure if this has been posted, I read a few pages and got tired of reading.
In IE6 if I goto my forums I can see all the graphics. When I click on the color chooser everything immediately goes to "x"s. If I close the browser and reopen it the images come back. In Firefox they all work fine.
This is on two forums:
http://www.nctuners.com/forum/
http://www.dirtyjeeps.com/forum/
ANY help would be appreciated!
Thank You.
In my Cpanel I checked my error log. It saying that images in /home/nctuners/public_html/forum/Themes/helios_multi/images/pod/ are not there. For instance:

I go look under /public_html/forum/Themes/helios_multi/images/pod/ to see whats there. I have the color named folders but no graphics at all. So its looking for the graphics under /pod/ but not under /pod/green/ or /pod/blue/, etc....
What do I do? I love this theme and spent alot of time today customizing it.
hm..it sounds like the color choice somehow get lost. It should not..but a quick solution is to simply copy whats in one of the color pods into the regular pod directory, so you have a fallback.
I will check to see if I can duplicate this on my site.
It does seem to be a problem with IE..I will find a solution and update/post when i have it.
Thanks for the quick respons Bloc. Ill copy the files like you said for now.
Ok, I found the bug - and a solution. It seems that IE don't send values in submit buttons that are of the type "image" - which i use. FF does not mind though.
So i have adjusted it to use the normal on Firefox, but rather colored submit buttons on IE instead. It should now search the right folder for its files.
You can either uplaod the whole archive again, or just exchange the index.tempalte.php file attached. The change made are this:
Find this:
<input style="border: solid 1px #808080;" type="image" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/thumbs/brown.jpg" value="brown" name="options[theme_color]" onclick="this.form.submit();">
<input style="border: solid 1px #808080;" type="image" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/thumbs/red.jpg" value="red" name="options[theme_color]" onclick="this.form.submit();">
<input style="border: solid 1px #808080;" type="image" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/thumbs/golden.jpg" value="golden" name="options[theme_color]" onclick="this.form.submit();">
<input style="border: solid 1px #808080;" type="image" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/thumbs/green.jpg" value="green" name="options[theme_color]" onclick="this.form.submit();">
<input style="border: solid 1px #808080;" type="image" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/thumbs/blue.jpg" value="blue" name="options[theme_color]" onclick="this.form.submit();">
<input style="border: solid 1px #808080;" type="image" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/thumbs/silver.jpg" value="silver" name="options[theme_color]" onclick="this.form.submit();">
And exchange with this:

Try my button-generator at http://www.bloczone.net/button-generator/helios.php
Thats a nice button generator there Bloc. Margera1987 who is my friend has already gotten a button, might have done it when I wasnt paying attention. :p
What is wrong when go to forum i switches to old original theme? It should be multi-helios! Using finnish language...all other seems to work with theme but immediately when try to choose some forum and enter, it change to SMF original theme. I have set multi-helios to default theme.
I found the reason, skip this question ;D
What font are you using? I need to make buttons for it (shop, games, and chat)
Buttons? the font used is axaxax.ttf. A bit obscure, and I had to modify it abit because it rendered a couple of letters too close to each other...
But as mentioned in an earlier post, a generetor is here:
http://www.bloczone.net/button-generator/helios.php
I will try to add some icons that more resemble these things you want, but for now you can at least get the texts/button.

just change direction to be from right to left
I will make un update. I think there already is a option in default theme for this, so I can just check that variable in the theme.
raedzaro, does this look alright?
what should I put so I can embbed the "Ultimate Shoutbox" on the right side?
You mean to have it in a separate "bar" next to the forum?

too my question..
On my board, im running 1.0.3, with the Helio Multi theme. Im pretty good with the straight HTML, and Adobe.. I just need some assistance with the code in making a RADIO button for the Shoutcast MOD within the theme. I need some assistance with which file would i be modifying, where, and best way of going about it.

try to look for this code in index.template.php:
echo '</td>
</tr></table>';
// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
And add an extra <td> there, like this:
echo '</td>
<td valign="top" width="{your-width}">{the-code-for-the-shoutbox-here}</td>

// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!

Hiyas Peeps...Bloc this is an awesome theme thanx ...fits our site perfect... www.crazyfirst.com is a gamers site... I am curious if I can add a button to open a program called teamspeak ... can be found at www.goteamspeak.com , it is a realtime audio chat program we use when playing as a team online, I would like to be able to have this button open the program on each person computer as it is resident on the users pc, but I am not sure what to point the button to or if its possible... and if it can tell the program to connect to our personal ip once it opens? any words of wisdom? thanks all for the great support and work here!
How to insert a button is of course something i can help with, but how to make that connect to something on your computer...I really don't know much about. Java maybe?

If you mean to make a MKPortal specific theme of Helios, its not planned I am afraid. But don't the "SMF theme" option in previous MKPortal exists anymore? It should at least make the theme work?
Yeah it works but doesnt look as good, here you can look at it on my site http://jdog.x10hosting.com

Sorry for that but I will correct the wrong images and update the style
Thanks for the note
Block, Can you tell me how you got the headers that grey color in MKportal. Headers I mean like where it says Lates news, Main Menu, Personal Menu. The Multi theme just leaves them black. Here is my site if you want to take a look http://jdog.x10hosting.com If you could help me, that would be great :)
Last I looked into it it just took a class from style.css in the Helios theme folder to render them..I am not sure if it still does that, but in any case it was the catbg or titlebg classes that were used.
And I see they are using that now.. ;)
I've edited the Integrated Chat mod to make it install to the Helios theme. Enjoy :).

Hey, I love the theme, it will probably be the only theme I use until I am able to get a custom skin.
I was toying with the coding a little, trying to get my ads to show up in the header area, but I was unable to, I kept recieving parse errors. As you can prbably tell, I do not know much about PHP.
I was wondering if someone could either tell me, or just zip an edited file, how to place and iframe in the PHP so it would show up where I want it, as shown in the attached picture. I want the ads to show up on every page, so I am guessing the changes would be made to index.template.php.
Thank you very much,

Are you using rotating ads?
If you want a static one you can goto Admin>Current Theme's Settings - then put the URL of the ad in the
Logo : field.

If the logo field will accept an iframe, I can do that, otherwise not. And yes they are rotating.
I have a banner rotation setup with this theme. All I did was add banners to the forum News.

-Dan The Man
Hey, I am going to just use the top block for now, until I can figure out how to put the ads there. Good suggestions though!
What's the easiest way to mod this template to work with the arcade??
In the latest Helios version, for the button - use one of the "custom-button" options to simply link to the arcade page. For display in posts you need to change Display.template.php with required code. I think thats it.

Great work, but it still renders some gaps in the graphics. There seem to be missing background images as well.
Dunno if this has been mentioned here yet, but the German language files don't reflect these changes in Admin-->Current Theme's Settings:
(Proposed translation in "")
- Forum width:
"Forumbreite:"
- Use either numbers(pixels) or a percent, like "700" or "85%"
"Verwende entweder Pixelanzahl oder Prozentangaben, wie "700" bzw. "85%""
- Default theme color:
"Standard Forumfarbe:"
("Original, Rot, Grün, Silber, Blau, Gold")
- Turn off the color chooser!
"Schalte die Forumfarbwahl aus!"
- Use button 1
"Verwende Button 1"
- Path:
"Dateipfad:"
- Just use the filename, and be sure to put the image in "Helios_Multi/images/"
"Einfach den Dateinamen angeben und die Bilddatei in "Helios_Multi/images/" ablegen"
- Link:
"Auszuführender Link:"
- Show for members only?
"Nur für Mitglieder sichtbar?"

Here's a patch for the issue addressed above. It's really needed since nothing showed up for all the points described above. (Not even the English texts.)
So extract the file "Settings.german.php" from this archive (http://www.schwarzsilber.de/apix/Settings.german.zip) to:
Themes\helios_multi\languages\
I couldn't change the colors' names but I guess that's okay.
Kolya
Don't know if this has been said but in a post the paths of forum are alll bunched like the table disappears and it is all cramped...

Do you have a example?..I am not sure what you mean.
Serious problem: When clicking the upshrink button the whole forum disappears and can't be restored without deleting the SMF-cookies.
I cannot access my (Admin-)account at the moment as the faulty cookies are reset as soon as I do.
I tested with different browsers - same thing.
http://www.strangebedfellows.schwarzsilber.de/index.php
Any tips/ideas?
Kolya
You are better off adjsuting the code first, to get in at least.
Just go into index.template.php and find id="upshrinkHeader" in there.
Then the next words are something like "empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;". Set this to ....display: auto;
I don't why this has happened, but you probably have edited it such that the rest of table is "hidden" when upshrinked. Thats what the id="upshrinkHeader" will do. So you need to check if thats set on something not closed for example. Use the original Helios as a reference.
First of all: This is NOT a problem related to ORIGINAL Helios multi.
Don't worry anyone. :)
The problem is obviously related to that permanent Users-Online-Display at the top, you built for me.
I haven't changed the file myself. I'm not much of a PHP-Coder... :-[
Since it worked before, that hack might be incompatible to the latest upgrade to SMF 1.05 somehow.
I tried setting it to auto, as you said and could get in. But it only worked so far.
Clicking the button still made the forum vanish. A simple reload brought it back though.
Currently I have reverted to the original index.template.php of Helios Multi, which works fine as I said.
Hopefully you can have a look at the file to reintegrate that hack sometime, as I really liked it, but it's not urgent of course. Anyway thank you for your help. :)

That's great! How about the MultiColor Helios with TinyPortal? Is that available yet?
It will be shortly. ;)
Accessing any topic after updating to the premodded version only gives me this error:
2: file_exists() [<a href='http://www.php.net/function.file-exists'>function.file-exists</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/Arcade.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/htdocs/kolya/)
File: /www/htdocs/kolya/Themes/helios/Display.template.php (eval?)
Line: 317
Either my path is wrong or that's a bug...checking...
Well it seems like it's looking for a file (Arcade.php) that would be part of a mod I guess (SMF Arcade 1.0.3). Does that mean I have to install every mod that Helios is premodded for?
I would consider this a bug since I never had the Arcade installed nor did I change the files of Helios_Multi_Premodded in any way.
The titlebar of "UsersOnlineToday" uses the titlebg.gif whereas all the other stats (Members, Forum Stats, etc) use catbg.gif in their title.... Is this information more important than the others?
Possibly the colorchoice could load different css-files matching the themecolor?
For a start one could create the css oneself as long as the choice loads them.
Kolya
hm..it seems the file_exists() function is not allowed on every server. I will change this. Def. a bug. ;)
"useronlinetoday" should have the same as the others..thank you for posting it, I will correct that too.
Nice to see you're checking here and working on it! Thank you Bloc! (http://www.strangebedfellows.schwarzsilber.de/Smileys/sbf/thumb.gif)

Bloc:
How do I get the donate and download mods to work with this theme? The buttons won't add on. Thanks for any help.
JTG
How does the mods modify default theme?
You need to do that manually to the Helios theme files too. But if its just adding buttons with links you are thinking of, there are 3 extra button-"spots" in "current theme settings" of Helios that you can use.
The pre-modded version of Helios is updated. It doesn't use file_exists function to check if mods are installed anymore, just variables.
Helios Multi is now updated to be used with SMF 1.1beta3. Note that download versions for BOTH 1.0.5 and 1.1beta3 exists and that the pre-modded version of Helios is ONLY for 1.0.5.
See first post for details.
Hey Bloc:
I'm using Helios Multi 11 with the new version of smf 1.1 beta 3. I can't seem to find the drop down menu to change the template color. Is it available on this version? Thanks.
JTG
Its not using a drop down..just press the little colored boxes in top right corner.
I do not have multiple color boxes to change the colors. I downloaded the one for 1.1 beta 3. :(
I used Helios Multi 11, running v1.0.5, no color choices for me. Also, I get this error when trying to post an event in the calendar,
" 2: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
File: /home/seammer/public_html/forum/Themes/HeliosMulti/Calendar.template.php (eval?)
Line: 130"
Could you please tell me how to change the name that is listed for the Forum? I have it set on the Site name, but wish to change it.
pierse:
After going through the archive it seems I made a mix-up of some files..so I went over them again and updated them. I suggest just download the 1.1 version one more time (its updated) , and remove all template files ,and upload the new ones. Be sure to reomove them all, since 2 files should not be there at all.
Or simply uninstall and re-install this new one. Sorry for the confusion there.
seammer:
Don't install the 1.1 version on a 1.0.5 forum. They are different, thats why I have 2 versions. The 1.0.5 version CAN work on 1.1 forum, but not the other way around. Plus of course the error I have corrected, as pierse reported.
Bloc:
Is there a current version of "Users online today" that works with the newest Helios version. After a fresh install of SMF 1.1 beta 3 and helios multi11, I tried to install "Users online today 1.3" but during install I receive two error messages:
Execute Modification Sources/Stats.php Test failed
Execute Modification Themes/default/Stats.template.php Test failed
Any ideas?
Thanks.
JTG
Helios does not use Stats.template.php at all, and the Stats.php is a source file.
Its SMF 1.1 the mod won't install on. Probably because the code has changed, and the package manager can't find the right code to replace.
when using the pod version (i have downloaded the latest one) when trying to change to a different pod colour all the coloured images refuse to load even when I switch back to the original colour..
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Also it says that the theme is for Beta 3 and not beta 3 public...
Its for public beta3 but should work on all 1.1 versions. Do you have a link which I can check upon?
If I attempt to edit the template I get errors like the following:
QuoteAn Error Has Occurred!
Unable to load the 'edit_browse' template.
Using 1.1 beta 3. Any help? Thanks. :)
How would I be able to change the font for the boards to a different font?
Ex. Changing the font for everything to Arial
Try to look in style.css for "body" tag and change "font-family" values to for example Arial.
So for example, it'd be font-family: Arial, Arial, Arial; ?
no.... you'd only call one instance of Arial
It won't be wrong..but there is no need for it. And if someone don't have Arial on their system, its nice to set a second choice like helvetica or sans-serif at least. Although that too won't "break" anything if its missing.
Can someone tell me how to go about making menu buttons that match Bloc's Helios theme? I want to add three buttons but I want them to match the theme. Thanks.

Hello. I have recently installed this forum software and the Helios theme. My users love it to pieces and they have one requested change.
On our old forum http://www.autoservltd.com/sssc the posts are seperated from one another by a space. I provided a link so you could see what I am talking about.
I would like to do this to the Helios theme as well but I have no clue where to even begin.
Any help will be appreciated.
Are some of the descriptions for the check boxes missing in the theme settings???

This is not too hard to make..but it requires adding a little code. Open up Display.template.php and find this:
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr><td class="', $message['alternate'] == 0 ? 'windowbg' : 'windowbg2', '">';
// Show information about the poster of this message.
then just add a break or 2 right before <table> tag , like
...<br /><table width.... If you also want to have slight border around each, I would suggest adding this to the <table> as well:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border: solid 1px #606060;">

(http://www.slowmac.com/settings.jpg)
No, they should be there.
Check that you have a "Themes/Helios(?)/languages/Settings.english.php - and if you do, check that it contains approx. 20+ lines. If not, you need to exchange yours with the one in the archive. All strings are contained there.
Is it possible to remove the login option from the board index? I'm using Mambo right now, and I've found that when users log in from the forum index they are not being bridged to the Mambo user table.
I'd like to keep the user information there once logged in, but I don't want to give the option to log in from there. Can this be done?
Yes, by excahnging the login form with either nothing - or a small message that syas "log in from Mambo" or something. You need to find this code:
// Otherwise they're a guest - so politely ask them to register or login.
else
{
echo '
', $txt['welcome_guest'], '<br />
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=login2" method="post" style="margin: 3px 1ex 1px 0; text-align:left;">
<input type="text" name="user" size="10" /> <input type="password" name="passwrd" size="10" />
<select name="cookielength">
<option value="60">', $txt['smf53'], '</option>
<option value="1440">', $txt['smf47'], '</option>
<option value="10080">', $txt['smf48'], '</option>
<option value="302400">', $txt['smf49'], '</option>
<option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['smf50'], '</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />
', $txt['smf52'], '
</form>';
}
and do something like:
// Otherwise they're a guest - so politely ask them to register or login.
else
{
echo 'Please login from Mambo';
}
That would show user-info once logged in, but not the login form when not logged in.
That's exactly what I wanted to do. Another thing... Am I missing something? Prior to 1.1b3, there was an option to either enable or disable News Fader. I can't find it anywhere. When it was disabled the news box in the helios theme didn't even appear.
To get rid of this box do I need to modify something on the template, or is it an easy setting that I'm missing?
"Enable News?"
"Show news fader on board index"
Both in admin / current theme. first is in all pages, second just on main page(the fading thing).

The mod doesn't change any of the template files - as far as I can see - so it should work fine. BUT - if the mod won't work on SMF 1.1beta3, then you will need to get the mod author to update it.

- Version of Mambo: 4.5.3
- Version of SMF: 1.1.3b (w/SMF bridge v3.19a_stable installed)
- Did someone install this for you/who: No, self-install
- Is this an upgrade/from what to what: N/A
- Is this a conversion/from what to what: N/A
- Have you searched for your problem: Yes. I always search pretty exhaustively before asking.
- State the nature of your problem: See below
- Do you have a test account for us: Unfortunately, since this is a localhost installation for testing before moving to my production server, a test account is not possible at this time.
Well, I had the theme working perfectly on my site. Installed sef404 and, man, it took out my entire site. The addOn works well for a great many, I've found, but I for one will never go near it again. At any rate, I had to dump my entire site and start all over again from scratch. All went well and I'm back up and running. However, now when trying to log in as Admin on the forums (using Helios), I get the following error, which is not directly Helios related, I know. Be that as it may, maybe someone here can shed some light on this since it is SMF 1.1.3b, after all... ;)
I surf to the forum, all well. Try to log in from the top login boxes, or click on the Admin button to log in (haven't gotten far enough to create a regular test user at the moment) and receive the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: md5_hmac() in D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\mambo\forums\Sources\MOS_SMF.php on line 176
Any ideas on how to correct, anyone? I have downloaded the latest update and will install it once I can get to the SMF Admin again.
Great work on this theme, Bloc. It is one of the best looking ones I've run across. I plan to later modify the colors just a little to better fit with my overall site coloration, but other than that I am very happy with it.

it looks like you are missing a button image (mod?) try right clicking and see where it point too - missing graphic?

when i am in looking at a thread i can open up the message window and i can refresh the screen
and the message window is still open. but if im on main page and open the message window, the

(and i hope i made sense)
You are missing a image , Northener. "Blank.gif" in the "images" folder of your Helios theme.
The link you are seing is the key to the automatic upshrink routine. It will remember the state , even if the page isn't refreshed( = goes through the server again). Simply by sending a query through that image.

The file "MOS_SMF.php" is not part of SMF, maybe the Mambo brigde? Anyhow, looks like its messed up somehow. I would suggest starting over with Mambo/brigde/SMF, especially since its a local installation.
sorry but that didnt help??
Check what image is missing then..by looking at its properties, what path its looking for.
i right click on the little images to see the properties and those images are in the right folder
but as shown above the white box with red x shows different properties as shown in the code window.
just so you know i am using IE6 and thats where im getting the error. i opened up the forum with Firefox and the up/down buttons work fine and no mess ups happen.
so what is different that things arent working correctly with IE??
maybe join my forum and see if you have the problem yourself with your browser?
http://www.shadow-clan.com/forums/
i just noticed the difference between the two browsers
IE6 = http://www.shadow-clan.com/forums/
Firefox = http://shadow-clan.com/forums/index.php
i used the URL from firefox in IE and the up/down works fine. so what is the problem with have www in the URL?
I keep getting this error, Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again. , whenever I try to change a user's karma from topic view with this theme, works fine on the default theme, any hints to why this would happen.
Edit:
Hmm looks like I found the problem:
Code in Helios Display.template.php:
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=modifykarma;sa=applaud;uid=', $message['member']['id'], ';topic=', $context['current_topic'], '.' . $context['start'], ';m=', $message['id'], '">', $modSettings['karmaApplaudLabel'], '</a>

Changed to this:
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=modifykarma;sa=applaud;uid=', $message['member']['id'], ';topic=', $context['current_topic'], '.' . $context['start'], ';m=', $message['id'], ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">', $modSettings['karmaApplaudLabel'], '</a>

Seems seesion id was missing in the lines in the Theme for SMF v1.1beta3.

Ya think? bwahaaa... Sorry, Bloc, just kidding--I simply couldn't stop laughing at the above line. Actually I did start over again and all is right with learning Mambo and SMF again. Re-installation is kind of touchy due to the fact that without a complete and utter dumping of all concerned files, some vestiges of the old configuration remains behind. This time I completely deleted all traces of Mambo, SMF and the bridge from my web server directory hierarchy, cleared cache and cookies, shut down the browser and started as if I'd never installed any of the software before. That was the only approach that finally worked for me, although other's mileage may vary of course.
Now I am furiously rebuilding the site to deploy it on my new ISP's servers middle of next week when my new domain is ready to go. Keep a weather eye on:
blackswanonline.org in the upcoming week (probably nearer next weekend, actually) to see the site in action, replete with Helios_Multi_Blue. Don't suppose you'd turn all those theming talents toward a WoW (Alliance faction) template could you? :P
Cheers!

i just noticed the difference between the two browsers
IE6 = http://www.shadow-clan.com/forums/
Firefox = http://shadow-clan.com/forums/index.php
i used the URL from firefox in IE and the up/down works fine. so what is the problem with have www in the URL?
Depends on how your ISP has it aliased in their DNS settings and lookup records. Some alias so that it works either way. Some alias that the www is required. Ask your ISP what their preference is and go with that unless they will enter it in their lookup and reverse lookup tables to work with or without the www prefix.
Great site, by the way. Little too many graphics gizmos for my taste, but a great design and layout, nonetheless.
Cheers!

Bloc you were such a great help with the break tags I was wondering if you knew of a good place to put google ads on this template. I am using version 1.0.5 of this theme.
I would like them to be toward the bottom of the forum. The top is alright but the side is no good at all.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

All pages would be best. Unless there is a way to turn them off in non-public areas. Then I would want them in all public areas but not in the members only sections of the forum.
Just showing it to guests perhaps could work. Do you got the actual code to display?
No I haven't generated it yet. I am up in the air about the colors I want to use. I want to ads viewable by everyone so just showing it to guests really won't help me any.
Thanks for the thought though. I know the adsense script is in java so i can post some previously used code to give you an idea of what it looks like..
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "removed";
google_alternate_ad_url = "removed";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "000000";
google_color_bg = "262626";
google_color_link = "FFCF90";
google_color_url = "FFCF90";
google_color_text = "FFFFFF";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
What do I remove in index.template.php to get rid of the welcome box (with avatar, total logged in time, new posts, etc), the Stats/Time bar and the navigation menu at the top of the template?
Bloc I searched the heck out of this site and found enough information on the subject to answer my own question.
Thanks for your help thus far but I wanted you to know I have it all sorted out now.
Great Theme BTW!!
Bloc, any chance you could make a Downloads theme button for Helios Multi for the Simple Download Mod? BTW, your theme is awesome.
thanks in advanced.

Im not sure if this has been posted, I read a few pages and got tired of reading.
In IE6 if I goto my forums I can see all the graphics. When I click on the color chooser everything immediately goes to "x"s. If I close the browser and reopen it the images come back. In Firefox they all work fine.
This is on two forums:
http://www.nctuners.com/forum/
http://www.dirtyjeeps.com/forum/
ANY help would be appreciated!
Thank You.
In my Cpanel I checked my error log. It saying that images in /home/nctuners/public_html/forum/Themes/helios_multi/images/pod/ are not there. For instance:

I go look under /public_html/forum/Themes/helios_multi/images/pod/ to see whats there. I have the color named folders but no graphics at all. So its looking for the graphics under /pod/ but not under /pod/green/ or /pod/blue/, etc....
What do I do? I love this theme and spent alot of time today customizing it.
I'm having these errors on my forum in both IE and Firefox. They happen using both the 1.0.5 and mod version of Helios. Know of anything else that could cause this?

:/
I just fresh installed 1.1B3 and I can't seem to get the package uploaded or the theme uploaded. It says that it is either not a valid package or has become corrupted...?
I tried both the .zip and the tarballs with no luck.
Helios must be installed through "admin/themes and layout", not through "packages".
I am getting a lot of issues. I am running 1.05 SMF and the 1.05 version

I am not sure..do you have any mods installed - or used to have it?
I had a couple mods I deleted right away cause i didnt like them.. this seemed to havce started before that though
I can't really see the link to the theme by the errors..they seem to occur in the Sources files. The last one - in theme's BoardIndex.template - might have been carried into the theme.
Have you tried to upgrade the forum? Not update, but upgrade - so you remove any traces of earlier mods/faulty(perhaps) installations?
Nice, thanks
Regards
Is there a "blank page" for this theme I can use ? I'm not really sure how to search for that.
Thanks!
Blank page? What do you mean?
Hi Bloc, you also made a premodded version for 1.05, any chance you could adapt that one for 1.1 Beta 3?
Well, yes..but I don't think all the mods are ready for 1.1 yet? Thats why I wait.
Ah, great! Btw, I'm using your Cerberus theme now, together with Nesianstyles' Simpleportal and I've used your buttongenerator to add a few buttons. Where can I find the lines to add the buttons? Thnx in advance!
Look in index.template.php , under "template_menu()" .All the main buttons is defined there, so you can just duplicate one of them and adjust it to what you need.
I guess a page with the theme code already applied and the center section left open for the addition of information, text, movies, chat boxes, and so on...

Hi!
This the theme Helios Single Color for the SMF 1.1beta3 version?? I see that is the multi color, but I need the single color for this SMF version.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks.
It can be single color quite easily - go to admin/current theme settings and choose "turn off color-chooser" , then choose your color in "Default theme color" listbox above that.
You will then have a single Helios, with the colorversion you like. None of the other color versions will then be fetched at all.
Ok, Thanks. Other problem that I have is that in the stadistics show 0 visitors, 1 users. The user I am, but I know that are more users conected, but the forum don´t show this, the hide option for users is disabled. How can I do to fix it?
Thanks, and sorry again for my english ^^
Thanks a lot.
uhm, the first is number of guests , second members...there is no total visitors number (though it can be made so).
I didn´t refered to that, I mean that this is what shows the forum, but in reality there are many users connected and they are not shown.
??
Thanks.
Thats strange...does it do the same on default theme - or just in Helios?
Also in the default theme, um.. do you know what is the problem?
I am not sure..but it seems something is wrong with the stats part..have you tried to "recount all totals"? (admin/maintenace tools)
Doing this nothing change.. Other solution?
Optimizing - or even repairing the tables(in phpmyadmin) and "clear non important logs" in admin section?
If these also seem to change nothing, try to upgrade the forum again, you may have some faulty files.
This is just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Nothing of this works T.T

hmm..I can't think anything else...if all mysql tables are correct, it should work(unless there is some setting I don't know of). Have you tried aksing about this in the Administration and Functionality (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=11.0) board?
I use themes for specific topics on my site. It seems when I change colors, it just goes back to the board index page, rather then the topic I use the them on. Also in my admin center, I have empty boxes, but nothing else, there is like 5 of them, and check marks, but there is no text next to them to tell me what they are for.
You need to use the theme - set it temporary in your profile - to see all the options in "current theme settings" of Helios. Editing it when inside another theme won't work properly because the template modified by Helios is NOT loaded then...only the current theme's own template(that of course does not have these options).
The color changer always goes back to startpage. If there is another theme selected as the default one, you won't see the difference. I would recommend having just one set color when you are using Helios in a single board.
Thanks Bloc :D
Bloc, just a few questions..how to get the Googlebot mod to show up? And the G-mail mod? And the expirience bar?
YM
I just installed your theme but want to know how to change it to silver, its brown right now, and under CURRENT THEME SETTINGS It says
Edit Theme
Modify the index template. (the main template)
Modify the style.css file. (colors, fonts, etc.)
It told me to make it 777 or writable, i did make it writable in ftp for group, but it still apears, what the heck do I do???

I am not sure..if it are writable, then it might be something else.
But..to change it to silver you could use the settings to turn-off color chooser, and make silver the default color-choice. They should be right under the "edit index.." etc.
yo Bloc dude, can you make me a "Downloads" button to add to the top navigation???
Here is a link to Bloc's button generator:
http://www.bloczone.net/button-generator/helios.php (http://www.bloczone.net/button-generator/helios.php)
The logo option: I'm not quite sure what that is exactly. Is it a logo we can create that goes into the top section where our avatar shows, or something else? Sounds like something I'd like to use, so thought I'd ask. :)
Yes, it is..just enter the path for a picture.

Thanks, Bloc. I'll give it another shot. :) when I make changes to the theme, I notice that it defaults back to the default SMF theme... is it supposed to do that, or is there something in the settings I don't have set right?
Hey, Bloc: I can't seem to get the logo to work, or the top panel to work. I put the url of the logo image in and nothing's showing.
Any ideas? :(
I've installed the theme by uploading all the files to my /Theme/ directory and installed it. I have 2 problems that I need help with.
1. my user info, news box, and key stat boxs are white and at the top still. The text in these boxes is also white.
2. I cannot see the "pod" pictures. They are the round objects that can change color. I would love to see them
any help would be great. I am using version 1.0.5
it also wont let me edit the script via the admin panel. "The file you are trying to edit... can't even be found!"
Thank you

I think you need to put the contents into a folder - Themes/Helios/ - and not just right into Themes/ . That won't work.
I put it into xxx/Themes/theme3 so the location isnt the prob. thanks for the replys
ok NM, very wierd but I got it to work. I installed it like 3 times with no luck. I dont know what I did differently but who cares!! thanks for the awesome template man
Hi Bloc, I've added 3 buttons with the help of your buttongenerator. But they automatically come last in the menu, so how do I change the order of the menubuttons?
Thanks in advance

Its put that way in the template. To change it you would have to shift the various code blocks in template_menu() inside index.template.php. You will see that they start with a comment ( // comment here...) So you could pretty much just move the whole block which seems to belong to a comment - up and down.
Bloc.. I still can't get my banner to install using those blocks for logo, etc. Do I need to set the permissions differently to do this?
No, you should be fine..but the "userlogo" is for path-to-a-picture only, while "topbar" must be html code.
Hmmnn. I tried it both ways and it wont let me do anything. The forum just defaults to the original SMF default theme and that's it. :-\
autumn_whis - what I did was copy my forums banner into /public_html/forums folder. Or into the folder that is where SMF is installed.
Then go to your admin page, click on Current Theme, look for "Theme Options and Preferences" then look for the "Logo" field. Just type in the name of the banner, save the settings and then do a refresh of your forum (hit F5). The banner should appear now.
Hope that helps.
Bloc - is there a PSD file for the 'New Posts' icon? I like the 'glowing' icon, but have trouble at times distinguishing if its a 'New Post' or 'No New Post' icon. Do you its possible to share the PSD file? and I can even share the resulting icon (if i my PS skills are up to editing. we can work via PM if you like).
No..I am afraid I just did those quickly for that occasion...never kept it. The whole design is in PSD of course, but I changed the on-off when doing Helios_multi, just replacing the gifs.
Love the theme!!! I only have one issue...mebbe you can help....
The message icon when looking at the list of posts in a forum is Red X'ing on me in the list. Any idea? The icons are there when you post, and when looking at the post...but not when you look at the list.
http://bigmikewatters.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0 for an example...
Is it a setting I am missing?
Thanks in advance! :)
No permisson to see the board...
My apologies...should be fixed...

I'll try that, Basis! Thanks. 8)
Basis: That didn't work either. :( Whenever i try and make changes in those fields the theme changes from Helios back to the default theme that came with SMF... and the logo never shows up at all. :( :(
I tried putting: nameofimage.jpg in the logo: field, but that didn't take.
Then I tried: nameofboarddirectory/nameofimage.jpg and that didn't take. And each try make the theme default back to the SMF theme that came with the board.
I put the jpg file in the directory where the board is. I didn't put it in themes, or in the Helios folder... just in the board's directory.
Any other ideas?
autumn_whispers2me - im fresh out of ideas... could it be a permission issue? did u upload the themes using the theme package manager or manually?
bloc - no problems with the glowing gif button. i will try to figure a way out.
btw bloc - some of my forum members are reporting they are unable to view the logo banner. while others are able to. i am at a loss to this discrepency. it isn't a permission issue neither is it a ad-blocker issue nor a browser issue (IE, FireFox and other browsers all suffer). Yet I can view it on another version of IE or FireFox. Any ideas or leads?

Are you sure they just don't have their Shrink header button pushed? Ask them if the triangle is up or down. If it's facing down, then they have it Shrunk and should click on it. That's the triangle to the immediate left of the Home button (if you knew this, I apologize in advance for lecturing!).
Hey Bloc - Great work on this theme!!! I've got this theme running on three boards, two at 1.0.5, one at 1.1 beta 3 Public. I was going to PM this to you but thought maybe others might have seen this and have an answer.
My issue is small and simple. On the 1.1 beta 3 version, my avatars are being "scrunched" down. They look like they're about 20pt's short of what they were intended for. For instance, my avatar is 80w x 120 h, and it looks like it's scrunched to 80x100. I've searched all through the AP and can't find any place to adjust avatar settings, and have searched through the files associated with this Theme thinking that possily there's some height restrictions in the Header, but can't find anythere there either.
Weird, but if anyone has any ideas, feel free to share them!

No, this is the easiest..but if you get errors you can rateher upload it to a Helios folder inside Themes and point the second text box to that folder(just add "helios" or what you use to the end of that long path there), then press install.

What version of Helios and SMF? ..and a link would be nice... :)
Quick question, maybe a silly one. If I install the newer version of this very cool theme, will I be able to keep the modifications I've made to it somehow? I've had the last version, but this update sounds to be cooler; more possibilities.
Thanks anyone for any guidance.

Great theme, one problem though, when applaud for karma is clicked I get this error.

You will lose them I am afraid...if you simply overwrite the files. You could compare them though and maybe re-apply..its not that many changes.

Great theme, one problem though, when applaud for karma is clicked I get this error.
An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.
No matter what is done, SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public.
Thanks.
That was an error on my behalf. You need to use the newer Display.template.php from the archive - it has been updated.
Thanks Bloc.
for some reason my top nav bar is off center to the left in my forum
what would be causing that to happen??

I'm sure Bloc will chime in with an easier way to do this, but the way I did it (and you can use temporarily until Bloc tells you a better, more elegant way... ;)) was to go to the table that is set up to hold your menu buttons (on or about line 309 in my editor; I've done some other customization so your line numbers will most likely be +/- 10 or so). Look for the comment:// Show the menu here, according to menu sub template
Turn on the border for that first table <table... border="1">. You can now play with the various left/right-margin settings, width, height, etc. After you get the menu tweaked the way you want it, set border="0" on the table, and wah-lah, centered menu buttons.
Cheers!

Can you give me a link to your forums so I can see what header you're speaking of? Better yet, have you checked under Forum Configuration - Current Theme Settings - and verify if you have a check in the box besides Enable News? Just want to see if you add an announcement in the News section if it appears.

http://shadow-clan.com/forums/
I have changed the way that menu is shown for Helios_multi..so instead of aligning ti the left, its aligned centered in that theme. But you can apply the same in your theme:
This is the code you need to find:
// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
echo '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 20px; background-image: url(' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/pod-midbar.gif);" ><tr>';
echo '<td><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/pod-leftbar.gif" alt="gfx" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></td>';
echo '<td><a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank-upshrink.gif" alt="" style="margin: 0px 0;" /></td>';
template_menu();
echo '</td></tr></table>';
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
And replace with:
// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
echo '<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="text-align: left; margin-left: 20px; background-image: url(' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/'.$options['theme_color'].'/pod-midbar.gif);" ><tr>';
echo '<td style="width: 39%; background-color: black;"> </td><td><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/pod/'.$options['theme_color'].'/pod-leftbar.gif" alt="gfx" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></td>';
echo '<td><a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /></a></td><td><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="width: 2px; height: 20px;margin: 0px 0;" /></td>';
template_menu();
echo '</td><td style="background-color: black;width: 59%;"> </td></tr></table>';
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
As you can see, I just made the table 100 % in width, but added a empty <td> at first and last which together adds up to 99%. The rest will then be pushed against each other, making it centered. :)
NOS.. Yes, the news option is enabled, and it's showing. Is that why the banner wont show? Also, when I try to make changes and add the banner into the "logo" field, or the one above it, the forum theme defaults back to the standard, default theme. I have to go back in and reset it to helios, but the banner still doesn't show.

I think you are using the Helios_multi11 theme on a SMF 1.0.5 version, thats why it won't work. Its meant for SMF 1.1beta3 hence the "11" number in it. ;)
Download the Helios_multi archive instead and try that.
Bloc, You Da Man!! :D :D :D
Oh for heaven's sake. LOL Thanks, Bloc. I thought for sure I'd downloaded the right theme! The theme works, but those features don't.
Okay... gonna fix that now. :P
Northener: ;D
autumn_whispers: its easy to make that mistake...several others have too. ;)
Gee, I should have figured that one out as I did EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!!
Ho hum... ;)
Autumn, just went and visited and it looks great!
One suggestion, that I found with this theme, if you can put some kind of logo in the Current theme settings, under the Topbar, add in a logo and then as long as your users have the header expanded, they can click on that logo to go back to your Forums home page. Just a suggestion, as I have a problem seeking that home button all the time....
LOL I'm SOOOOO excited!!! It worked! Whooo hooooooooo!!!! NOS... glad to know I'm not the only one who did this! hehe And thanks for the kind words, but the credit goes to Bloc for that awesome theme! The banner's mine, but the theme makes the page. ;)
Bloc---you're awesome!!!

Now you're talkin! That banners totally b$#chin!!!
Agreed! That banner is something else..and fits the theme spot on. ;D
Awww, you guys give me way too much credit. You're sweet. :) You know, as a quick FYI, the zombies in that image are made by a friend of mine... he makes them from scratch for his Halloween yard haunt each year ::: amazing! http://www.pumpkinrot.com is his site, and seriously.. be prepared. ;) The first time I saw his new skelly... under the 2005 section, I thought: "anyone missing a relative?" lol he's awesome.
Again, thanks you guys. Those compliments mean a lot coming from you all. :)
PSSST! Bloc! C'mere! I have about a 200% chance of getting my zombie-makin' buddy to give an okay on making a dark theme using his ghoulies. ;) And, the original images are huge, high res... and just ready for hot theme designer to bring them to life.
... that's not a hint or anything. ;D
Indeed. :D They look very real..!
A theme based on these images? ;D I would like a try...if you let me.
Btw, the image you sent, I haven't forgotten it - just been so busy with updating themes and stuff. If you still want to do something with it, I can send you some ideas we can work further on? ( could do this on PM though ;) )
Awesome, Bloc! I'm sure he'll okay it, but I sent an email a little while ago. 8) 8) 8)
Bloc what file does the 1.1 version use for profile.template ??
EDIT: Found it.... ;)
OMG, Gargoyle... that avatar! Dude, that's twisted. lol
I like it!! LOL!!
don't know if it has been already said (I've checked the last pages of this topic ...)
There is some "bugs" in the french version of Helios theme :
first, the home.gif correct spelling is "Accueil" ;)
here is the button : (http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/6920/home8ld.gif)
The second bug is in admin, setting the theme's properties :
English version :
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/2047/heliosadminenglish9ui.th.gif) (http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image=heliosadminenglish9ui.gif)
French version :
(http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/6518/heliosadminfrench4wg.gif)
Something is missing I guess ^^
Here is the translation :
Forum Width = "Largeur du forum"
Use either numbers(pixels) or a percent, like "700" or "85%" = "Utilisez soit un nombre (pixels) soit un pourcentage, comme "700" ou "85%" "
Default theme color: = "Couleur du theme par défaut :"
Use button 1 = "Utiliser le bouton 1"
Path: = "Chemin :"
Just use the filename, and be sure to put the image in "Helios_Multi/images/" = "Utilisez simplement le nom du fichier, et assurez vous de mettre l'image dans "Helios_Multi/images/"
Link: = "Lien :"
Show for members only? = "Montrer uniquement aux membres?"
And the last point :
the "new.gif" image is missing in french... it's not really a problem, 'cause it's replaced by the text version "Nouveau"...
Thanks for this nice theme ;)
EDIT : hmmm... what is button 1, button 2, button 3 ?
I tried to put some links, but never saw results :S
Bloc...

Thansk for the translation, I will add this to the archive.
Button 1-3 are your own links/buttons. But you MUST add a link and a image path to it, otherwise it won't show. Its done like this so you can hide any of them, by just setting them to blank.

Default theme yields same results but I was asked to ask you about it.
Its not theme specific then.
I am not sure what causes this..pictures show either thumbnails or links randomly(seemingly) ...have you checked size of attachment folder? gone over the settings for attachments?
Yes I have done all of that. I agree on the random thing. It picks and chooses which files are good enough for it and which ones are not pretty randomly.
Hey while I have you here how can I change the highlight color on the calendar view? Mine is really off. It's like a light blue color.
Thanks for your time... ;D
The calendar? You need to adjust default theme colors then..since Helios doesn't use its own calendar template. Admin/Calendar/ ..find the colors defined down there.
No I mean the highlight color in the calendar itself...
You know when it highlights the current day when you are viewing the calendar ?
I would think it would be in a .css file or something. Maybe a setting I can edit or add to the helios .css file ?
It's line 37 of Calendar.template.php
For some reason it is hard coded. I know you are not responsible for the code in the default template but do you now how I could go about making it a variable ?
Just curious... ;D
You could just copy the Calendar template over to Helios, adjust it and then that will be used instead of default theme. I haven't included it because it was just one tiny change.

Does that hold true with all of the template files ? If I just place them in the helios directory they become the default ones ?
If so that would make life a bit easier on me...
Thanks for the tip Bloc.
Yes, thats exactly how you create a theme.Copy the ones you want to change, and the rest will just be falling back on default theme.
The benefits are great, because you basically can just alter index.template and style.css, and not worrying about all the other templates - if thats is what you require.
Very cool!
Thanks again for the tip. This forum code is much more powerful and user friendly than I ever thought.
One last thing and I will leave you alone I promise.... ;D What is your avatar ?? I have stared at that thing for a long time and have no idea what I am looking at.
When I check the detailed version checker, for the current themes (helios multi for 1.1), I get this:
QuoteCurrent Templates 1.1 Beta 3 1.1 Beta 3 Public
BoardIndex.template.php 1.1 Beta 3 1.1 Beta 3 Public
Calendar.template.php 1.1 Beta 3 Public 1.1 Beta 3 Public
Display.template.php 1.1 Beta 3 1.1 Beta 3 Public
MessageIndex.template.php 1.1 Beta 3 1.1 Beta 3 Public
Settings.template.php 1.0 1.1 Beta 3 Public
Themes.template.php 1.1 Beta 3 1.1 Beta 3 Public
index.template.php 1.1 Beta 3 1.1 Beta 3 Public
Only calendar.template.php is 1.1 beta 3 public. Since the templates work, can I just change the version thing on the top of the templates?
If you want. Its more internal than anything for Helios. :)
At the top of my forum, it says who the latest member was, how many posts there are, and how many topics there are. But in the spot for how many members there are, it just says Members, and the number is blank.
Any help?
(Link - www.moosetv.net/forum)
Yeah . . . Help would be nice . . .
Your forum stat stuff doesn't look like it's working either...
What version of SMF are you using? Also what version of Helios are you using?
I ran both 1.0.5 and 1.1 and had no problems. But I have read if you have different versions of the theme and SMF stuff won't work right.
Its probably that. Try to download the Helios_multi, not the Helios_multi11 - and see if it changes things.
To be honest:
This is one of the greates Templates I have seen so far.
Thank you for this excellent masterpiece.
Great Job !
I agree totally... it's an awesome theme! But it does help in a huge way to have the right version installed! LOL I had the wrong one installed initially. Boy was I embarrassed! hehe

Moose, your site says' it's running SMf 1.0.5, but you have beta 3 Helios! If you look at the very bottom of your forums main page you see the SMF 1.0.5 tag line. Then if you right click and open up the page source you see this line down maybe line 20ish or so:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://moosetv.net/forum/Themes/helios/style.css?beta3" />
This indicates that you have Helios them for 1.1 Beta 3, and it will never work right. I also fell into this and had to uninstall the Helios theme, and reinstall the one for 1.0.5.
That's what happened to me, too. lol Only I didn't uninstall the theme for beta, just installed the one for 1.0.5 since I'm sure I'll be upgrading at some point. :)
I found a bit of a bug... Not really a bug but a coding improvement for the 1.1 version. The members awaiting approval link does not go where it should go. I changed mine to the following and it works perfectly.
index.template.php lines 223-226
// Are there any members waiting for approval?
if (!empty($context['unapproved_members']))
echo '<br />
', $context['unapproved_members'] == 1 ? $txt['approve_thereis'] : $txt['approve_thereare'], ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=viewmembers;sa=browse;type=approve">', $context['unapproved_members'] == 1 ? $txt['approve_member'] : $context['unapproved_members'] .

I have a stats page for my game server. Where would i put the link so the stats tab in the forums takes you to the stats page?
Excellent theme! I just tried installing it as my site's default and I got this error:
"Sorry, the copyright must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is using an ILLEGAL copy of SMF!"
Other than installing the theme, I have not altered any other files (I wouldn't know how to!)
I'm running SMF 1.0.5 @ http://tasteslikemusic.com/forum/index.php
Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Thanks.

Never owerwrite the default folder..because Helios use a great deal of the templates there for itself. That is - the ones that are not modified. You see, the default folder is a "fallback" for all other themes. Put Helios in a another folder, and allow members to JUST use Helios, if you wish to use just one theme.
The stats tab at top left :) Thanks for the great theme bloc, i really liked it at first and the more i play with it the more i like it. Now i love it, awesome work :D
I just realized i was alittle vague on what i was asking. Is it possible to make that stats graphic at top left clickable. So when members click on it, it takes them to the stats page :) If not than change the stats next to it with a link to the page?
i need to get my error log fixed so i dont have to keep deleting it all the time.
the forum seems to always be running fine now but i have all these errors!
the following are the errors that im getting, and it looks like it might all be related to 'theme_color' ???

Ok i added logo through admin. But now the stats and what not are all bunched up along the left hand side. Can i put the logo above the box that it is currently in so the stats stay normal and the logo is above?
If i have to use html or something could you please post it if its not to much trouble, i have no idea about HTML. Trying to learn but this is all really new to me :)
Have a look at what i mean http://www.the-darksidel2.com/forum/
Unable to load the 'trackIP' template
error occurs when I attempt to track an IP.
Disregard, I found if you copy the profile template file from default to helios, it works aok!
AWESOME THEME!! VERY nice not to have to remod the mods. ;)

Quotetry defining the theme color by changing the theme color... or in the theme settings, save the default settings for the theme color of helios..
i have no clue what you just said or how to go about doing it??
Go into "current theme settings" and set "default color" there once. Press save.
The error should not appear at all really..but this might help, since it then gets "stored".
i opened "current theme settings" and the only thing that shows 'color' is "Modify the style.css file. (colors, fonts, etc.)"
what am i missing? i dont see anything that says 'default color' anywhere on the page?
"Default theme color" - its a listbox a bit down.
here is what i have listed on the Current Theme Settings:
Theme Settings - Helios

ah..you either don't have all the files that Helios needs(Themes.template most likely) or you're using an earlier theme that did not have automatic color changing..or possibly "left-over" files from that is still present...
i checked the file and i do have the Themes.template.php
and no, i dont have the color selector version of helios!
what do i need to do to fix this?
thanks bloc for the help!
Try to upload Helios theme files again, overwriting with the most recent, link is in first post here. Be sure to pick the right version , depending on what SMF version you have. :)
i was afraid you would say that since you had helped me with so many changes on a lot of the template files when i first installed. i had made the changes to so many different things but i guess i will have to re-do it all.
This may have been answered already but, Have you done any work on making the visual warning mod show up on the Helios Multi?
I have it installed and once I switch back to the sm default, everything is visable.
I have some folks that get a little carried away at times and they need to me reminded when they step out of line.
One last thing, This is a great looking theme!
Bob

How Can I Add Google Ads To My Forum, It Has Helios Template, I wanna Add It Above The News Thing, I got The Google Script But I Dont Know HOW Put It On The Helios Template, Thanks I Will Appriciate A Lot.
Thanks Guys
I did a search of this thread but I didn't find what I was looking for. Please forgive me if it has been answered. I want to add a header image to the helios theme, but I cannot find where to do it or how. I have looked in the index-template.php file for headerarea, but there isn't one. Is it in some other file?
Thanks!
>current theme settings > Topbar : (use your own HTML code)
So simple! Thanks!
Heres somthing a little screwy.
I'm using the Helios Multi theme and have flash chat intergrated with it. At the bottom of the page, there is a block showing how many usres are in which room. For the bulk of the users on the board I am told that everything looks fine but have had reports of a blank white box showing up from several users.
Has anyone else seen this problem? If so, what is the fix?

I am not sure what that can be..but since its code meant to fetch data from flashchat, it may be some color: white; defined in there? Could you post that code bit?
One more question: Is there any way to change the button order on the top menu? I want to move the Logout button to after the 3rd user button. I tried just moving
// Otherwise, they might want to [logout]...
else{
echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=logout;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/logout.gif" alt="' . $txt[108] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[108]), '</a></td>';
}
after the third button, but that just caused parse errors.
Try to make it like:
// Otherwise, they might want to [logout]...
if($context['user']['is_logged']){
echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=logout;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/logout.gif" alt="' . $txt[108] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[108]), '</a></td>';
}
Its originally part of an IF statement, thats what the "else" is about. But adding the IF again should solve it.

Bloc,
Tell me what part of what you would like to see.
You can take a look at the site and see if the Helios theme is carrying through for you. Like I said its just a few folks that have made mention of it.
Here's the link to the board: http://www.computermagiconline.com/yabbse/index.php (http://www.computermagiconline.com/yabbse/index.php)
I see a <iframe> tag there..try to put in its style a background-color: #404040, just to be sure.
I love the look of this theme but I seem to be missing some of the pod images.
Not all but only the ones that are background to tables.
http://hearnoevilpodcast.com/FORUMS/index.php (http://hearnoevilpodcast.com/FORUMS/index.php)
You certainly are !
Try re-uploading just the image gifs to your themes\helios folder\images\pod\etc
You are missing the likes of pod-stat-mid.gif, pod-board-midtop.gif
I will try that but they look like they are all there online in their folders.
They are not being picked up though.
It was the same for another bloc theme.
All image file in place and still no workie.
???? any other clues????
I have become a big fan of this theme aside from this small problem I am having.
This is a browser thing..if you have got the latest version of Helios_multi, just upload the preferred color version into the "pod" folder as well , in addition to the color folders. At least then its getting the files, even if a color is not "set".
Thanks for the help with this.
I reloaded all the "red" pod files into the main pod folder but still not visible.
I may have misunderstood.
hm, that is strange. You have selected "red" as default color then? And turned off the color chooser?
I hadn't, but I just did that to no avail.
Yet
ah, by looking at your link I guessing the path where Helios is installed, is the cause. Don't use spaces in the folder for Helios..it will confuse the stylesheet. Exchange it with _ or something, and correct the path in Admin/themes and Settings afterwards.
You are a champion. I thought it looked like a file path problem.
All done and running OK.
I will go through and alter all the settings now.
Thank you very much for that help
WooHoo! This was realy a sweet theme. I am so happy that ther Is ppl like u out here, making stuff that makes the world a better plays to be In ;D :D
Good Work=)
Err... I have a problem...
Okay, I added kirby's theme changer thing here
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34453.0
I added this to the bottom:
// This neat function finds and returns info about all of our themes.
function getThemeData()
{
global $db_prefix, $user_info, $scripturl, $settings, $options, $modSettings;
$themes = array();
// Get all of our themes.
$request = db_query("
SELECT value, ID_THEME
FROM {$db_prefix}themes
WHERE variable = 'name'
AND ID_THEME != $settings[theme_id]" . (empty($modSettings['theme_default']) ? '
AND ID_THEME != 1' : '') . "
ORDER BY value", __FILE__, __LINE__);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
{
$themes[] = array(
'id' => $row['ID_THEME'],
'name' => $row['value'],
);
}
return $themes;
}
and this after the guest login thingy
$themes = getThemeData();
// Super duper theme changer slash! :D
if (!empty($themes))
{
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl ,'" name="themeForm">
<select name="theme" onchange="if (this.selectedIndex > 0 && this.options[this.selectedIndex].value) window.location.href = smf_scripturl + \'?theme=\' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.substr(smf_scripturl.indexOf(\'?\') == -1 ? 0 : 1);">';
foreach($themes as $theme)
echo '
<option value="', $theme['id'] ,'">' .$theme['name'] . '</option>';
echo '
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Change Themes!" />
</form>';
}
This code works on the default theme. How come on helios it just doesn't display anything. If I take out the ! in the empty function, it just displays a drop down box with nothing in it. HELP! Thx in advance
I am not sure..I haven't tested this code at all, but am guessing it has to do with the placement of it. Did you place it right before the ?> in index.tempalte.php? at the very bottom?
yep.
Also, I'm am using ohms theme picker.
I did somthing like this
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
global $boarddir;
require ''.$boarddir.'/Themes/themechanger.php';
}
else
{
$themes = getThemeData();
// Super duper theme changer slash! :D
if (!empty($themes))
{
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl ,'" name="themeForm">
<select name="theme" onchange="if (this.selectedIndex > 0 && this.options[this.selectedIndex].value) window.location.href = smf_scripturl + \'?theme=\' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.substr(smf_scripturl.indexOf(\'?\') == -1 ? 0 : 1);">';
foreach($themes as $theme)
echo '
<option value="', $theme['id'] ,'">' .$theme['name'] . '</option>';
echo '
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Change Themes!" />
</form>';
}
}
Just in case that's the problem. That works for default theme too..
poke?
Can anyone suggest a shoutbox that will work with Helios?
I say, Damn what a sweet looking theme. I get goosbumps all ower ;D
OKay I fixed. instead of // This neat function finds and returns info about all of our themes.
function getThemeData()
{
global $db_prefix, $user_info, $scripturl, $settings, $options, $modSettings;
$themes = array();
// Get all of our themes.

5 by 5 here on a CM 1.1RC1 install (from beta 4) on Helios multi11.
Track IP, Track User were fine, Show Permissions fine, don't know about the PM icons mine worked ... check your install directory?
Install directory? What should I check about it. It worked with 1.0.5 and doesn't with 1.1RC1. Permission are all set to 755. I don't have any idea what else to do.
EDIT UPDATE:
I rechecked all the permissions. There are all 755.
If you upgraded from 1.0.5 to 1.1RC1 then its bound to have problems. But from 1.1beta3, which Helios_multi11 is meant for, may work better.
I haven't got around to updating yet though - for the RC1 version.
Thanks. I installed Helios Multi11 and it works fine. So it must be the older version of Helios.
I can't wait for the RC1 version of Helios_multi to come out. I want to update so badly right now because I'm bored, but Helios_Multi is the only Theme that "flows" with my site. *sits on hands until Bloc finishes* haha I <3 you Bloc. All your work is fantastic!
I am alos awaiting anxiously
The new thread pulsing icons are great, but hard to see. is there any way to lighten them, or change their color?
If you have a program to edit animated gif files, you could lighten them of course.
I did edits to your theme said in the template changes.The only problem was topbottomenable appearing in the error log & a few bits couldn't be changed.

On.gif for new posts and off.gif for no new posts. Also on2.gif is used for new posts in child boards-only.
One more thing. Since I installed SMF 1.1RC1, I get the following error when I click on the "Mark as Read" button:
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.
It was suggested that I follow the instructions here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=50411.0#post_index) and make changes to the templates. Since this is your work, I didn't think I should be messing with it.
I started looking through the changes and everything seemed pretty straight forward, until I reached here on the display.template.php. The instructions say find this:
<div align="', !$context['right_to_left'] ? 'right' : 'left', '" style="margin-bottom: 1ex;">
<form action="', $scripturl, '" method="get" name="jumptoForm">;
<span class="smalltext">' . $txt[160] . ':</span>
<select name="jumpto" id="jumpto" onchange="if (this.selectedIndex > 0 && this.options[this.selectedIndex].value) window.location.href = smf_scripturl + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value.substr(smf_scripturl.indexOf(\'?\') == -1 ? 0 : 1);">
however this is not in the file. So I thought instead of messing it up, I would let you know of the issue.
This is the slickest theme I have seen and and I have examined a lot of themes. My only problem is that I have a support group forum. I fear the black background is a bit inappropriate to the specific forum topic. Would it offend you if I asked how I may turn the background to a deep dark blue? I don't want to give this theme up. If I must, I might try it as is and try to read the reaction.
I commend you for an incredible theme that stands apart from other designs.
Thanks for the invested effort.
SMF 1.1 RC1
All you have to do is change the background color in the styles.css file. Some of the graphics will need to be made transparent, though.
Thats correct..the graphics needs to be made transparent or re-colored. I made it like this to create the smooth gradients.
Bloc,
I know nothing of html so making the graphics transparent is over my head for now. I may try to brighten it up as I learn a bit. If I do I am sure it won't look as good as it does now. I love the actual functionality I wish I could find something even near this slick and functional that was a bit more cheery. For now I need very basic answers to two questions:
How do I make a button image to match you buttons. I want to make 2 buttons to link to other sites.
Also, in the HTML box that places text above the header box, how do I make that text or even and actual link clickable to take me to a site?
Thanks for enduring a newbie that dare mention changing something on an awsome theme.

Pretty neat I would say. Your answer and Bloc's design solved the button problem with style.

I can't imagine this has something to do with Helios..the Manageboards.template is not used in Helios at all. Have you tried it trough default theme..?
No I didn't. I just checked it, and it does it there too. So it must be a bug.

Love the ability to change forum colors at a click, some users like red, and like blue or green and you find yourself flipping a coin.
I think other themes should follow suit as this was a perfct option.
KUDOS EXCELLENT WORK.

I've got it working on the site, but can't seem to put my own logo in it.
If I do it though the ADMIN, and my own HTML, it simpy reverts back to the default theme (plain blue) and still doesn't even show the logo.
I really need to get this thing active ASAP. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks....
There is no Avatar Section in this Theme...When u login you account and if wan to change you avatar you cant see your avatar settings??? WHYYY ?

Make sure you use the right version of Helios...
Helios_multi => SMF 1.0.5
Helios_multi11 => SMF 1.1beta3
Helios_multi11rc1 => SMF 1.1RC1
Using SMF 1.0.5 and Helios_Multi
That is strange..do you by any chance have a link i could look at?
Great theme pal ;)
Awesome Theme by the Way.. My members Love it.. have a couple questions maybe you can help me out.. Ive loaded an image of my forum to show whats its doing.
I used the button generator thing which was awesome by the way I was trying to figure out how to get buttons on therel ol :D
I added the Button information to the Index.template and the buttons are not in the menu there off and to the left.. Its not a big deal the buttons still work fine and dont look bad there but I would like them in the menu bar.
and second if you look at the top of the forum theres two of the colored boarders but there both on the left side. not sure whats going on with that..
Thanks for your help! :)
*Edit ive noticed the color bar is only missing on the "home" page view of the forum. if your in a board or topic the full color bar goes accross the screen.. Thanks in advance

this may be a simple and stupid question but what is the difference between 1.1RC1 and 1.1Beta3

There are lots of updates. SMF 1.1 is supposed to be more bug free..

RC1 or Beta3 ???
LOL!!!!
RC1
Great theme! I'm using it with pleasure on my forum. Bloc, can you write a list of all fonts that you have used in this theme? I would like to make them available for download on my site, for Linux users, so that they can also enjoy Helios Multi in it's best :)
Thanx
The fonts? Just the common ones really..verdana or sans-serif, tahoma, courier for the code quotes etc. They should render fine on all browsers.
The buttons are graphics, so they will show the same on all..if that is what you meant. :) Incidentally that font is called axaxax.ttf.
Bloc, do you know of any mod that will work with Helios that allows right or left side information blocks?
Well..I guess Simple Portal could be something..and of course my own TinyPortal ( http://www.tinyportal.net )
Other than that I don't think there are other mods. Of course you can just go into the template and make the boxes..but a bit hard to update. Unless you just use an included php file. Then you can just update that.
Thanks! Since you are making the TinyPortal, I will probably go with that once you release it. I see that the beta is a closed group.

Thanx for quick reply :) I needed that information since some Linux distributions (like Slackware) do not have True Type fonts included.
BTW, I have changed new_none.gif, new_some.gif, off.gif, on.gif, on2.gif and star.gif images. Is that OK with you to still continue using this theme as Helios Multi? (I guess that is ok, but I thought it wouldn'hurt me to ask you, just in case :))

Keep up the good work! :)
im still waiting on an answer please!
what is the difference between 1.1RC1 and 1.1Beta3
and TtuEd, i dont know where your hosted, but your forum is way slow loading??
The difference is that 1.1B3 will not work properly with SMF 1.1RC1.
Quote
The difference is that 1.1B3 will not work properly with SMF 1.1RC1.
what are you talking about?
arent these two different types of forums?
OK. I'll try again. Although Helios Multi 1.1B3 would work with SMF 1.0.5, it would not work properly with the release of the SMF 1.1RC1. Bloc updated 1.1B3 of Helios to work with SMF 1.1RC1.
1.1B3 => v1.1 Beta 3
1.1RC1 => v1.1 Release Candidate 1
(two versions of SMF- 1.1RC1 is better, ofcourse :))
if RC1 is better, why then, in the mods section is there only mods for Beta3?
I suspect because it is also new.

Local hosting provider. I bought cheep hosting (20euro/year). Would disabling hostname lookups and compressed output in forum options speed it up?

RC1 is better, because it has many bug fixes(from beta3)and is a "release candidate" - meaning its just one or 2 steps from the final version , which is considered as "stable".
As for the theme...you can use the 1.0.5 version of Helios on versions above that, you can use the 1.1beta3 Helios on 1.1RC1 even, but many things will render errors. Like the mark_read buttons...several javascript routines is changed and so on. So its BEST to use the correct Helios version for whatever SMF version you run.
The modsite will be updated with the choice of RC1 soon - its just a display marker to quickly see what the mod support. Many mods are now made for RC1 and state that in the description instead.
Hey
I just wanted to say I really like this theme. The gold color really matches our color scheme well at www.scgarrison.net
Anyway- I'm sure this is not the right forum for my question, but if anyone can point me to where I can learn how to remove the "stats" and or the avatar at the top by the user name that would be great! I don't really like the logged on time, and it makes the top box bigger on some displays.
anyway- thanks again- you theme really stands out from the rest!
-cris
I believe those are checkboxs in ADMIN/Configuration/Features and Options
I may be blind, but all I can find are the check boxes to turn off ALL of the avatars. I just want to get rid of mine, or some of the stats at the top.
In other news, is there a simple way to make the news fader box smaller in height? I found where to do it in index.php and it worked like a charm, but when I swapped out the files, none of the links worked and the (ironically) avatar at the top dissapeared.
thanks again, I just applied the borders around the posts mentioned on page 38 and that is a VERY cool trick!
(http://www.scgarrison.net/smf/Themes/helios_multi/screenshot.png)
my attempts at editing out the code around the days, hours, seconds of login time resulted in disaster :\
-cris
well- what do you know?
Somehow I managed to bumble my way through editing the code again and got the logged-on stats to disappear AND to get the news box smaller.
a little
/* ... */ around the logged-on section got rid of that and I think the top box looks much better now,
and by finding the news fader height in BoardIndex.template.php and changing it to "10" I was able to shrink it considerably. The thing is- I thought I did this earlier and just ended up with a smaller box followed be a ton of broken links...
I don't know. Thanks again, though. Everyone LOVES your theme on our board.

Glad it worked out. :) And btw, using comments like you did is the best way to undo a feature - in case you want it back later on..! ;D

Can you be more specific about which files and where you did this?
Hey Bloc,
I ran across this today:
(http://www.deadboneplatoon.com/smf/errors/smferror_01.gif)
As you can see, the other offline icons are there. The online icon works. But this one specific icon doesn't. It isn't a matter of refreshing the page, either. It looks like buddy_useroff.gif is missing.
Just upload the buddy icon from the smf default theme
ah, the buddies icons... :) I will update the theme with those. But as scs says - just copy them for now.

I must be doing something wrong. None of those changes do anything for me.
you are changing the ones inside the helios theme folder, right?
I did that wrong the first time

Yes. The ones in Helios_multi11_RC1. Does nothing.
totally wierd- I don't know why that is...
I also adjusted the left margin a little in the
Display.template.php file
basically I just changed the 15% and 85% and then the 16% and 85% to 10% and 90% on each of the 2 sets of code below. Does anyone see any problems arising from these 2 changes? Or is there anywhere else I might need to change it too? (look for the arrows)

after the change....
(http://www.scgarrison.net/smf/Themes/helios_multi/screenshot3.png)
everything still OK- or am I in dangerous territory with all of these edits??
-cris
Ok. I figured out how to turn off part of it. The above turns off only time logged in. The avatar and the personal messages are still there.
yeah- just turning off the one thing fixed my alignment issue as shown in the screen caps.
but you could use the same technique to remove it all...
-cris
well, I thought you'd like to know that I have gotten tons of compliments on your theme and someone even said they though it was the best one they've seen on the internet!
anyway, thanks again and after using my "edits" to the code for about a week, I see no real problems except that on smaller displays the avatars have little scroll boxes around them.
I suppose I could fix this be making that poster info box a set pixel width... no to figure out just how to do that....
-cris
Thank you. Best on the net..? wow. :)
The avatars gaining scrollbars can be cured...but that will allow the column to expand for big avatars, it may be not what you want perhaps?
btw. love your avatar. 5th element is one of my favourite movies, right up there with Bladerunner and LOTR. ;D
he heee. :) Thanks, Bloc. It's one of our favorites too. I always think mul-teee-pass in my head when I see that picture.
So if I mod the code to allow for bigger avatars, will that also allow for bigger screen names? I noticed that long screen names just extend past the margin (into the ether apparantly) in my currently modified version. I already set the size limit of avatars to 75x75 to minimize the effect on my top banner picture.
We are also eagerly awaiting the release of tiny portal!
thanks again,
-cris
Yes, it will. in fact, its the value "overflow: hidden;" that makes it like that. take it way, and both avatar and name will show in full.
cool-
thanks, bloc.
-cris
I installed this theme but none of the new toggle functions in the Active Theme section showed up?
Any reason why? The theme seemed to install properly but I can't choose between the different colors and what not?
The toggle functions only work when you're using the theme
The color selector is top right
I sincerely apologize if this has already been brought up. I just went through all 58 pages of this, and after page 30 or so, things started blurring together.
Anyway, the banner for my anime club's forum doesn't fit in the box for the logo. I've since moved it to the header, but it would be quite nice to allow it to be in the box. The other admins think it looks better in there..Except then the user stuff like the avatar gets all bunched up.
Is there a way to wrap that text around? Or should we just make a smaller banner? :)
( Here's an example of what it does- http://jade-angel.net/images/nowraparound.jpg
And off that topic, this is my favorite theme ever. And I've used a lot. :)
Thanks. :)
Unfortunelately its the table used that does this..so you would need to make the banner smaller. Since you are using it on the top now? you could instead render the same metal border around it, that might look better.
Hello, I am a fairly new admin to the SMF forum program, and I must say first that this theme kicks a$$!
I am having trouble trying to find / figure out how to insert my own logo into the top-box (as I have seen others do with some screen-shots). I have looked through a majority of the posts, and I am all confused about what to do. If someone could give me a detailed explanation of how to go about adding my logo, I would be the happiest admin here! Ok...maybe not....but man I would greatly appreciate the knowledge!
Thanks again for a wonderful Theme....now if I can only get it customized how I want..... :P
was wondering if its possible to change the default theme for the multi? I've been lookin' at the php and can't seem to find the place :\
[now that there's a bar @ the top of the screen rather then uploading the various colors]
uhm, not sure what you mean..changing the default color scheme of Helios?
There are 2 settings in "current theme settings" that will help: setting a default color and setting the chooser on/off.
Ok, I don't know if this has been asked yet, I don't want to search through 59 pages (the search feature is down)...
Will there be any updates for RC1? I would like to use this theme, but it doesn't show the buttons for my arcade :( .
Helios_multi is made for several versions of SMF, including 1.1RC1..but the one with bulit-in support for arcade is only at 1.0.5.
Then again ist not difficult to copy over the 2 things to a 1.1RC1 that the arcade mod needs: look after "arcade" in index.template.php and Display.template.php. Then just copy over those 2 code-blocks to the RC1 version in the same spots.
Awesome, thanks. Sounds easy enough. Also, is there a way to set the blue as the default instead of the brown?
Ok, I've looked into the scripts. Is it just the following?
Display.template.php:
Quoteif(@is_array($context['arcade']['champions'][ $message['member']['id'] ])){
foreach($context['arcade']['champions'][ $message['member']['id'] ] as $tmp){
//print_r($tmp);
if($tmp['thumbnail'] != ''){
echo '
<img src="', $tmp['thumbnail'], '" alt="" width="20">',$tmp['name'],' ', $txt['arcade_136'],'<br />';
}
else
echo '
', $tmp['name'], ' ', $txt['arcade_136'],'<br />';
}
}
Index.template.php:
Quote// arcade?
if(isset($modSettings['arcade_version']))
echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/games.gif" alt="' . "Arcade" . '" style="margin: 0;" border="0" /></a></td>';
That's what I copied, but the button isn't showing up.
it needs a button called games.gif placed in images/english folder(for example), do you have that?
The blue version can be permanent by going to "admin / current theme settings" and setting blue as "default" and turning color chooser "off".
Yes, I uploaded the image.
Also, I added a little background image to it so it would fit my site better. The blue could be a little brighter to match, but I like the look. I think it looks good, but the black around the template images kinda ruins it for me. I dunno, take a look and tell me what you think. DRAYSNIRO (http://draysniro)
***UPDATE***
Ok, I've been messing around and searching the files. I thought I had found a problem in the index.template.php file, but I guess I was wrong. I edited the line for the arcade, but it still doesn't work. Here's what it looked like:
Quote// arcade?
if(isset($modSettings['arcade_version']))
echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/games.gif" alt="' . "Arcade" . '" style="margin: 0;" border="0" /></a></td>';
Here's what it looks like now:
Quote// arcade?
if(isset($modSettings['arcade_version']))
echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/games.gif" alt="' . $txt['Arcade'] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt['Arcade']), '</a></td>';
I thought that making it match the other button codes, it would work. As of now, I am completely lost. I don't know what is wrong with it. I have started from scratch with editing and have re-uploaded the image with no success.
I apologize if my questions are getting annoying. I'm teaching my self php and it's frustrating when I can't find what I'm looking for. >:(
The button doesn't show still? Try to remove the line that says:
if(isset($modSettings['arcade_version']))
Well, that worked. What does that line do?
Its supposed to check if arcade is present by checking one of its variables..but I guess those have changed or something. ;)
I just want to use the green one, is there any way I can download just the GREEN one? :)
Thankyou.
Ah..saw your other post first now..yes, you can. Well, not JUST download the green version, but once downloaded the full theme and installed it, go into "admin / current theme settings" and sett "default color" to "green". And finally set "color-chooser" to "off".
That will make it use only the green color.
I have a quick question about the logo. In the setting for logo URL, I set it so that clicking it will return you to the main site home page. The problem is that, it will work one time then it will go back to linking to the forum index. How do I get it to stay the same? (When I go to the settings, it still says it's linked to my home page)
Any ideas?
can anyone tell me if i wanna put google ad rite under the menu how would i do that ?on index.template.php ?

I am bit unsure what you mean...is it the "logo" or the "topbar" you are reffering to?

Try to find template_menu(); and try to add the code under there. You will need to echo it.
Hi sir i did it rite over there u told me to as u can see but its not working

/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.
The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.
The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.
The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.
The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.
The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.
For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:

Try inserting the echoed code like you did :), but right after this line instead:
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
Then it should show up.

Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/helios_multi_premod/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.
You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.

Very Very nice job !!!!!!
Thank you
Beautiful theme.
Congrats.
There is a compatibility problem though with the colors in the calendar.
The forum is all dark so the CSS codes all "links" colors to be very light.
No prob with that.
But in the calendar, the current day is highlighted in "sky blue" making it impossible to read the events which are all links.
I could not find a way to either edit the current day background, or set a specific color for the calendar links.
Can you help ?
I beleive a dark background fo courrent day would do the trick.
Thanks
Its mentioned before..but basically you need to copy over Calendar.template from default theme and then adjust that. I believe its located at:
// If this is today, make it a different color and show a border.
echo '
<td class="windowbg" valign="top" style="', $day['is_today'] ? 'height: 96px; border: 2px outset; background-color: #C1E5FF;' : 'height: 100px;', ' padding: 2px;">';
And just change the #C1E5FF to something darker. ;)
set the default color to green, and turn the color changer off...
how can i take off the blok of the news and of the Stats/Time...
thanks

What version of Helios are you using? Removing this codeblock in my SMF 1.1RC1 works just fine.
1.0.5
The premod-version ..or the regular one?
regular i think

if there is a solution i prefer a version with not so dark colour too..
I will proably add more colors to it..or offer a lighter version at some point, but right now I just don't have the time, sorry.
Hi Bloc - First, I must say that your skills in all this are amazing. I've been impressed with your work with SMF and TP for quite while now.
Here's my issue: Previously I was running SMF 1.0.5, without TP installed. I've got several of your themes installed, and all of them working correctly, with the exception of one. Helios, for quite a while, worked fine. I had multiple versions of it installed, for the different colors. Not too long ago, my favorite, Helios_Red, lost it's header, or topbar, whichever you'd prefer to call it. The other versions/colors remained the same and had no issues.
Now, I'm still running SMF 1.0.5, but I've upgraded to TP, removed the old versions of Helios and other themes, and installed the new TP compatible version of Helios_multi. The topbar/header is still missing. Is there something that I'm missing here? Is there a checkbox or setting that I may have inadvertantly changed to show/hide the topbar/header or is this a deeper problem?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks a bunch..
Thank you. :)
The topbar is left out in TP version..because of the portals "topbar" (not implemented yet). But you can easily add the code to show the topbar again, also in TP.
Is it the Helios_multi_tp version you have installed? ...not any 11 or 11rc1 behind it?
It is the Helios_multi_tp version that I have installled. And no, there's no 11 or 11rc1 code on my board just yet. I've considered upgrading, but everything seems to be running just fine with the version I'm running, so I'm not exactly 'running to the gate' to get the latest rc1 version installed.
Would I be adding code to the BoardIndex.template.php file?
I really do appreciate your assistance in this..
I like the silver one the most! im gonna use it! Thank you! :)

This is SMF board, not a coppermine board.

Since I am using SMF, and, like I said, want to bridge Coppermine with SMF, I don't see where is the problem in my question.
OK, i've found answer on Bloc's website.

We are wanting to add chat to our forum but we are not sure how to make a button. If we use the regular board theme the button is automatically there, however we are using Helios Multi and need some assistance.

The HELIOS theme is VERY cool --- BUT -- is there a way to make the board's main title bigger?
It is so small it gets lost and disappears among all the other text. On my board, it took me a while to find it!
Cheers
Site is at http://www.exoticore.com/smf_105/index.php
If its bigger it will probably break the "bar" it reside in..how about making a bigger logo/name on top instead? The "topbar" option allow you to put any html there.
Bloc...this theme is awesome...I have the Visual Warning v1.27 mod installed and your theme installed great...but I have a couple quick questions:
First...any idea why my home page looks like this?
(http://img7.picsplace.to/img7/5/cut_home_page_helios__Custom_.jpg)
Second...how did you add on all of the stuff in the boxes seen on the left?
That looks great and if it's not too difficult, I would like to do something similar on my site.!
And thanks so much for the premod version, the multi-color choosing, and especially the button generator! I used a gif morph program and I have made several of my most needed buttons that are most frequently used even have blinking icons!
Your theme made setting up my site with SMF v1.05 as a novice to all of this a great experience!
You rock dude!
Keep up the great work!
I think you need to add a name to the forum..in admin/server settings. The the gap will be filled.
The boxes on the left on my site is a mod I am developing called TinyPortal, it will install through package manager as any other mod.
Awesome! Thanks a lot!
I sure appreciate your help Bloc.
I swear...this is the greatest theme ever.
You should be very proud of your work and you obviously have some serious skills.
This is one great professional-looking and well-made theme...that is for sure!

Have you set language to dutch? And uploaded the dutch buttons to a "dutch" folder inside "Helios/images" folder?

<edit> I am currently using the 1.0.5 version
Bloc,
I am using the helios multi theme wrapped with joomla.
Because of this, I ended up remving all the newsbox, etc info at the top of the index.template.php.
In order to make it fit in, I moved the colour boxes FORM into the linktree graphic bar (in boardindex.template.php)
The other theme_colour code, I moved into the <head> section of my overall joomla template...
if(!$context['user']['is_guest'] && isset($_POST['options']['theme_color']))
{
include_once($GLOBALS['sourcedir'] . '/Profile.php');
makeThemeChanges($context['user']['id'], $settings['theme_id']);
$options['theme_color'] = $_POST['options']['theme_color'];
}
else if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
if (isset($_POST['options']['theme_color']))
{
$_SESSION['theme_color'] = $_POST['options']['theme_color'];
$options['theme_color'] = $_SESSION['theme_color'];
}
elseif (isset($_SESSION['theme_color']))
$options['theme_color'] = $_SESSION['theme_color'];
}
if (isset($options['theme_color']))
$mycolor = $options['theme_color'];
else {
// Defaults.
$options['theme_color'] = isset($settings['default_theme_color']) ? $settings['default_theme_color'] : 'brown';
$mycolor=$options['theme_color'];
}
if(isset($settings['color_change_off']) && $settings['color_change_off']==1)
$options['theme_color'] = isset($settings['default_theme_color']) ? $settings['default_theme_color'] : 'brown';
Now, however, I get 8: Undefined index: theme_color errors on EVERY page except boardindex.
I believe these errors ar eonly coming from users who have NOT selected a colour at least once, which (to me) seems to indicate that the default colour choice is not being set somewhere. Any suggestions?
Can someone tell me how to install helios theme?
I uploaded it and installed it and ended up with this:

You can't do it by using the "topbar", if thats what you meant. Rather you need to insert the code(which is explained in the mod's help text) into index.template.php.

When I pull the menu bar through SSI, the forum button is slightly raised above the others. You can see it here http://www.johncarpenterforum.com. Like I said it's not too urgent but if it can be resolved that would be great.

You need to supply a <table><tr> before calling the ssi menu, and a </tr></table> after it. The menu only render <td>button></td>. That might explain the misalignment.

Bloc, Any comment on my issue?
(even a "I have no idea"?)
Great theme :)
Hope someone can point me to the place where I can comment out or remove info center for Helios, thanx

Uhm..it might be that this needs to be placed before any html at all, not in <head> but before even <html> and <doctype>.

Open BoardIndex.template and search for "info center". You get that line in a comment a bit down..all underneath there could then be removed.
hmmmm... I just tried that. It doesn't seem to work...
-edit-
ARGH!
I am an idiot...
I put it back inside function template_init() and it seems to work perfectly now... DOH!

I installed the RC2 update and looks like there are some missing images:
- /images/icons/modify_inline.gif - I found this one in another theme.
- /images/board_select_spot.gif - This one looks like a background on the admin page for board ordering. But it's not referenced as a background. Can't find this one in another theme.
Super theme. I'm just learning all the options that it has.
Thanks,

I had a few snags installing new themes in RC2. I found that re-uploading the files via ftp a couple of times did the trick.
and somehow Helios looks cooler in RC2 than it did in v. 1.0.5
maybe I'm just imagining things?

No you're right. In fact it even looks better from RC1 to RC2 but that's an SMF thing, they changed the layout a little
supergene, the theme is updated now with missing icons.
this theme is causing an error on my boards since I installed it:

From searching I saw that it was like 380 of the theme's index.php file, which is located in this section:
echo '</td></tr></table></div>';
echo '<pre>';
print_r($actionArray);
echo '</pre>';
echo '
The actual line 380 is this one:
print_r($actionArray);
What can be done to fix this?
That was an error - a debug I forgot to remove , I will correct it. Just remove the 3 lines:
echo '<pre>';
print_r($actionArray);
echo '</pre>';
On second glance..which version was this in? Not the RC2 version?
BigGun used the premodded version which i think is for 1.0
Ok, I will check that. Thanks.
yeah, I'm running the premod version on 1.0.5
Okay..I just installed this theme on another board of mine. Soon after installation I began to get "Sorry, unable to connect to the database, it might be busy"...that one. Ick. After a few refreshes it works fine again, but I checked the repair thing.
This is what it said, with Helios as the theme-
http://www.jade-angel.net/images/oookay.png
I use 1.0.5. I downloaded the one that said 1.0.5.
..So is it an issue with the theme (as my trouble didn't start until I installed it) or am I just unlucky?
Hm..it could seem there are some trouble with the 1.0.5 version. But the theme should not have any impact on the database as such. have you tried other themes to compare?
The version numbers you see makes no real difference, its just me not having updated those. The code itself IS 1.0.5 code.
Mate, just like to say thanks again..
he forum goes excellent with my website which is really taking shape..good job fella
Take a look all, inc forum

Great job, Bloc! Forum templar worked instantly unwrapped/bridged to Joomla. Now I need a Joomla template like this ;D
Bloc, I am getting occasional errors in my log:
2: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
File: /SITE/Themes/helios/Calendar.template.php (eval?)
Line: 133
Murgen,
I found that the AkoDarkGem template links nicely to the Helios design... Especially with the merged headers and CSS files.
Thanx for the suggestion. I use JS Lunar Expres for my gamesite. Red is part of our logo. We use the forum unwrapped so the change is not dramatic. And one of the user-defined buttons in Helios routes back to the portal.
Bloc,
I've run into a small snafu with the Helios pre mod running on 1.0.5 of SMF in that the the 'Users viewing this board' section if I have more than 6 or more users it skews the forum and makes it so that you have to scroll in order to see the entire forum. Is there a way to force the 'Users viewing this board' area to a fixed width and force a wrap arround of the names?
Any tips or slaps up side the head would be appreciated.
Thanks
-Goz
Update: It seems to only be when viewed in Mozilla. Any ideas?
Bloc...
I have updated to the 1.1RC2 Helios theme but I cannot edit the topic titles... I double click to edit the topic title and when I click off of it nothing changes... Thought I would let you know... Maybe it's just my board but I thought I would throw it out there.
Make sure you have the latest files - I have updated it, and it will now have a neat icon to press instead of double-click (which i find very strange to use, but thats another story)

Maybe remove any "nowrap" value there..but it will break the graphic layout somewhat i suppose.

I see... Are there any particular files I should update or just all of them ?? I ask because I have some custom code in the template files and I don't want to re-mod them all if I don't have to.. ;D
Thanks for the reply... Oh and I am really looking forward to your RC2 release of TP ..
TP version is coming up shortly... :)
Just replace MessageIndex.template and ftp up any images you don't have already..at least 1-2 related to inline editing.

TP is Bloc's Tiny Portal mod for SMF...

oh okay. i know what it is then ive even tried it its gr8. sorry for the trouble. i just didnt realize it because of the short form - TP :)
Bloc, great theme. One question though.
I'm using this theme for one specific topic of my whole board, which you will see in "Keirans Kustom of the day" board. The problem I have is that one some one would change a color, it will just go back to the index page of the whole board, rather then just back to the forum topic that uses the theme.
I just need to know what file I need to edit to fix this for my site, othewise I'll just use the one color. Thanks for all the hard work. Themes like this are what make this software so cool!
When will helios be updated for 1.0.6?
1.0.5 should still work on 1.0.6
Thats right. 1.0.5 themes work fine on 1.0.6.
loudog, I never implemented remembering where you were when you change colors, but this code:
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl, '" style="text-align: right; margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 2px;" method="post" class="smalltext">
Needs perhaps to be something like:
$querystring=$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl, '?' , $querystring , '" style="text-align: right; margin-right: 30px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-top: 2px;" method="post" class="smalltext">
I haven't tested it though.
I don`t think so !
After updating 1.0.5 --> 1.0.6, the Template seams to be okay, but the Forum is not indicated within the mkPortal M1.0
Even the Banner wasn`t shown too !
The settings mkPortal are correct, I have checked this!

sounds more like mkportal im afraid, I dont think they have a version that works with 1.0.6 just 1.0.5 and 1.1
I thing so, too !
But I hope, Bloc will korrect it or has a good idea ;D
Changing the theme won't help I am afraid - if the forum doesn't work in MKPortal in the first place. I suspect it has something to do with the new patches in 1.0.6 that deals with database/php. The theme system is exactly the same in 1.0.5 and 1.0.6.
OK !
Thanks for the answer :'(
Is there anyone who can help me to make some changes to php ?
Have you edited the subs.php file in your forums sources folder as per the instructions that come with MKPortal? Your original edited subs.php file would have been overwritten by the new one when you updated to 1.0.6. I just installed SMF 1.0.6 with MKPortal 1.0 on my local test server and it all works fine.
[edit] I've just installed Helios Multi for 1.0.5 on it as well and it still works fine.
No, I haven`t !
I have to do....I never thought about that.
OK, I have something to do and give u answer right here ;)
Thanks for the subs.php, but that doesen`t match...there are many fails at all ! :'(
I a newbie (installed two days ago) at SMF (but love it so far www.oldhippie.com/forums) -- but have a lot of experience with vBulletin (www.moparstyle.com) and phpBB (Hacker's Highway!).
I'd like this theme and would like to install it -- but want to verify that I won't have problems installing the .05 version of this theme in .06 -- and verify how I install the theme.
Download and unzip
FTP to a new directory in my themes directory
Admin, Install theme, and browse to it
anything else?
I'm hoping to avoid going through 65 pages of figuring out the answers -- if someone can roll me a bone.
Thanx
BK
That is one way..another is to download the zip, leave it and upload through admin section ("download new theme"), then everything is done for you. But both ways work fine. :)
Too Sweet!
I'm going in!
That was so Kool and easy. My new default theme. You're my new hero (for today).
Thanx
Thanks Bloc waiting RC2 packages...
Hey really like the theme.....very nice flow to it.....like the dark side to it and multible color picker. Just what I was looking for.
I got a question and dont know if it should be asked here....but here it goes. Where the news box set under the logo box (not the fader box) what code would I change to shorten it up and center it? I want to place a shout box next to it also just trying to figure how to place it in and what code to replace. Thanks if anyone can point me in the right direction.
AV
Those things are in index.template.php. Look for "news" and you will find the spot.
Thank for your fast responce. I am looking for where I need to replace the information. in the mod for the shout box looks like this.
Example:
If you want to add the shoutbox to the LEFT of your web page, you could make the following change in index.template.php.
Find:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
and replace with:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr valign="top">
<td width="120">', smfshout(), '</td>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
I dont know what area to replace or what text to paste in....sorry I am very new at this and dont want to mess it up.
Bloc, I talked to you about a month ago about using TP with the pre-mod version of Helios multi for SMF 1.05 with visual warning mod 1.27 installed.
You said you were going to work up a patch and the necessary files and instructions when you got a chance.
Any progress on this yet?
I just thought I would check in to see...
I would really like to put TP on my site...and your pre-mod version sure makes modding and installation easier...thanks again!
Hi,
I really love this one and i would like to use it for my forum. I am totally new at this I just downloaded and installed SMF 1.1RC2 for my forum. Now I would like to install this theme for it. I have downloaded the ZIP file but I really don't know how to installed for my forum. Is there a how to installed instructions for this one?
Thanks.
Ringo
Just go into admin section, find "themes and settings", go to "upload new theme", press "browse", locate the Helios zipfile on your harddisk and press "install". Done. :)
A "success" screen will let you know if it went ok.
Thanks for the information ;)
Thanks 8)
Ok, guys im using SMF 1.0.5
but when I go into the Theme & Layout Settings
there is a section called Install a New Theme
yet above it, it says this: Warning - you cannot create or install a new theme as your themes directory is not currently writable!
1)What should I upload?
- the zip file or do i extract the files and upload the folder in which i extracted the files to the directory /_themes/ in the server
2) How do I install it?
- How do I install it when it displays that warning...
P.S. Great skin...I would really like to have it
Thanks,
Manwho
Manwho
You need to chmod the folder to 777 to allow themes to be uploaded via smf.
hi i am using SMF 1.0.5 and i just patched it to 1.0.6 or w/e and this theme wont upload. It says "The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted." Whats up with that? Thanks in advance. :)
Helios theme are NOT to be installed through package manager. Rather you use the "themes and settings" / "install new theme".
oooooooohhhhhhhhhh lol i knew that 8)
Bloc I had sent you an email. Trying to use the intergrated chat mode 2.6 however with the helios theme 1.1 RC2 it doesnt recognize the buttons nor functions of the chat interface. Please advise...? ::)
Awesome theme :D
Its working like a charm with a few custom edits but I cant seem to get the Logo working. See if you can help me out here, Thanks a lot.
The "logo" option is not used actually..rather you can use the "topbar" option, in where you write the html code for a logo instead. if you need some pointers there, just ask. :)
I am planning to use the topbar function (which I tried and is working perfectly) but if the logo would work my forum would look way better cause that blank black space gets covered up.
Have a nice day.
Edit: Is there a way to use the topbar to display data in that black area towards the top-right of the screen?
Edit 2: I ventured onto your website and I dont think i need anything else now, thanks a lot :D
Shout box mod in helos
Example:
If you want to add the shoutbox to the LEFT of your web page, you could make the following change in index.template.php.
Find:
Code:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
and replace with:
Code:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr valign="top">
<td width="120">', smfshout(), '</td>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
I dont know what area to replace or what text to paste in....sorry I am very new at this and dont want to mess it up.
The code in the index.template.php does not have files that say this.......I dont know what to replace and have messed up my board everytime. I am two weeks into figuring this out really could use some help.
Open Helios's index.template and find this:
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table style="margin-top: 4px;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>';
echo '<td align="left" id="bodyarea" style="padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px;">';
...replace that with this:
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table style="margin-top: 4px;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>';
echo '<td width="120" valign="top">' , smfshout() , '</td>';

install it on the helios theme. it's not like the mod automatically creates a chat button. it only instals on the default theme. try searching. :-\
I first installed in on helios 1.06 and it worked fine. However since upgrading to 1.1 rc2 it doesnt work at all. I even followed the directions of the chat app and changed the default name to the helios folder however i get test errors still.. ??? :-X
Its not the theme's fault, its the mod. Does it say it will work on 1.1RC2?
i installed the package SMFShop and i seem can't find the "shop" button..
although it was really installed but the "shop" button won't appear in the menu.
i have to do this:
http://cdotakus.metacatalyst.org/index.php?action=shop
in order for the SMFShop page to be loaded.
how shall i resolve this problem sir? is there anything that i need to modify within the source code?
Try to use the "custom" buttons for Helios, just input a path to a picture, and the actual link..and it will appear.
Bloc I gotta say I am very happy with this theme and do not want to use another...
However one issue I am having, and one that may have been addressed some where along the 69 pages of posts here...
My total post count on the board index is not adding in the posts from the child boards.
A couple of the boards have multiple child boards and none of these totals appeared on the forum index. I tried to do what was suggested to me from another thread about this and it caused an error. Since I was already having permission problems I simply erased the first SMF instalation and started over again.
Now since you designed this Theme I figure you would be of super help to assist me in solving this issue.
Its actually a setting in the admin section of SMF, not in the theme. Try "admin / boards / settings / Count child's posts in parent's totals".
This is for SMF1.1.x however, its not present in the 1.0.x.
OK, what does one need to do in order to solve this issue in the 1.0 version?
You can't do it easily...it was a feature of 1.1 but it might be a topic around about it.
Here is a thread that I was given some help about this, but I am not sure this fixes that problem.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=69189.msg475899#msg475899 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=69189.msg475899#msg475899)
When I tried to do that I messed up something royaly and the forum crashed indefinately.
If you, or anybody else would take a look at this or possibly assist me I would REALLY appreciate it as this is somewhat annoying...
It would seem it just displays in the template the topics and posts number for each child board too..nice. :)
the reason you can't find the code there is probably because Helios has a slightly different BaordIndex.template..but its quite possible to find the code anyway.
But...is displaying the posts/topics next to each childboard really what you want? In SMF1.1 its rather calculated into the parent board number of topics/posts - which is more logical? I think also can be done in the template - with a bit of code change. ;)
OK sorry Bloc, I am a bit lost so bare with me..
What I meant is when a member posts in one of the child boards the post/topic count, from the child board itself does not add into or appear with the post/topic count on the board index.
It seems as if there is a "glitch" in it somewhere because sometimes the title of the post will appear on the index as the last post, then other times it will not.
http://mnrat.com/boards/index.php (http://mnrat.com/boards/index.php)
If you look there you will see I have some forums with multiple child boards, in which none of the topic/post counts are appearing on the board index.
Bloc I understand you may be a busy person, but I honestly do not feel comfortable making these code changes that may be needed. I messed up once and lost everything. If you would be willing to help me out I would appreciate it.
Brilliant!!!
But I'm missing icons (folder color excetera). Any place I can download them? Or did I miss something...?
thanks bloc,
got it already. it's a nice theme. keep up the good work!
where i can get a spoiler mod for your theme bloc? it's seems that the spoiler mods available are older versions and are not compatible with your theme, which has a higher version of course. ;D
Any plans to add support for the EXIF 1.1 mod to this theme? I use this theme on my SMF 1.0.6 forum and would love to implement the EXIF mod. The mod works great with the default SMF theme.

If its exists a spoiler mod, most likley they will change something in the source files..if they are meant to work on 1.1RC2 for example, the Helios version will also work fine with them.
But If I assumed wrong, I will need more info/links. ;)

It seems it adjusts the Display.template...you can mod Helios Display.template with that too, but since many users will not use that mod, it won't be a default feature in Helios, no.

I got it! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Bloc. I just found the line of code it added to the default theme and pasted it into the display.template for the Helios theme.
By the way, this theme is awesome!

how do i change the background color of the Forums?

(http://www.jkl4life.com/images/grey.png)
also when i try to change the theme to red, and turn off the color changer in "Current Theme's Settings" i click save. And it switches the theme back to the original SMF default theme. . . any idea why?
Yes, its the titlebg class I think.
If you are taken back to default theme, you are most likely using wrong version of Helios for your forum. What SMF version do you use?
1.1RC2 is the version im using..
and windowbg does not change that grey area.
Either windowbg or windowbg2. Have you tried both?
I loaded it and was very impressed!! preciate the love! and so does my members!!!
You did an amazing Job....better than i expected...lol though i think the default images for valid HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP and mySQL should be there instead
so, replace them... :)
but im a lameo and dont want to hassle with it and im not going to :p
Anybody know how to change the gray in the following link
http://www.bmw7resource.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=help;page=registering
I have trawled the helios & mkportal style css I thought it was this one but cant seem to change
/* This is the main area of the forum, the part that's gray. */
#bodyarea
{
background-color: #000000;
}
EDIT
OK after much ferkling it seems the action=help colours are hard coded in help.template.php with the exception of the bbc table which is defined in the help.css
See the finished one here

Its not defined by Helios..the help page is just in default theme.
Hi Bloc
It used to be a html in RC1 in Rc2 its an action index.php?action=help that applies styles
And I end up not being able to see some of the text

I've installed your helios multi - here - www.diabolist.org (http://www.diabolist.org)
Se ve asombroso... Looks excelent... you are a genious... XD
Hi i am trying to find out what mod i need for a header page like this one:
http://www.misfitmafia.com/smf/index.php
Im using helios miulti 1.0.6
Can anyone help me? please.
That site is using my portal mod for SMF, called Tinyportal. See http://www.tinyportal.net for details.
Thank you :D
I have installed the Helios / TinyPortal v0.8.6
the tiny portal mod and the upgrade
But i have lost my Total Posts,Total Members,Latest Member stats from the forum (they still show up in the frount page), i cant shrink or expand the header, i cant change my forum banners, one of my banners dosn't show up any more,
and i can't change any settings in theme and layout settings in the admin panel.
When i try to change any of these (settings or banners) it kicks me out to the smf default theme
Apart from these errors it looks great :D
Can you help please?
This skin is absolutely amazing, can you make a brighter one please? I can wait^^.

It sounds like your trouble is due to wrong versions of Helios. .are you sure you use the correct version? There is different versions for SMF, but also TP versions of the same SMF versions. basically a TP version is just a SMF version with added calls to the portal functions. otherwise the theme is the same.

I have no plans for a light version, sorry. This theme was designed as dark, and rely on that for its 3d effect.
Updates/info/downloads are now located at http://themes.simplemachines.org/index.php?lemma=1
Hi!
I'm using this theme in my forum. How I update it? Sorry for my English, I don't know very much.
Thanks
How can I change the default color of this skin? I'd like that everyone has the red theme first when they come to my board.
Forum Cp > configuratio > current theme
Default theme color: Red
Turn off the color chooser! yes
I've had a few problems since upgrading and wondered if you might be able to help me understand what's going on. Helios has been my default template for the past 18 months or so, but I had to upgrade to Multi when I updated the forum software to 1.1 RC2. After installation, the header and footer sub templates don't show up on the index screen, the spellcheck no longer works and there are several other bits and pieces that don't work. I had some trouble during the upgrade of both the forum software and the theme - the host kept cutting the connection to SmartFtp.
What I'm wondering is whether Helios Multi calls templates from other directories to function, such as Babylon, for instance, or is it completely self contained? I suppose what I'm asking is, which templates do you think are corrupt/missing and need replacing, and where are they? Any ideas gratefully accepted.
Thanks :)
Any templates inside Helios is changed versions of the same files inside default theme. So any "wrong" ones should first be checked in Helios, then default. Its only a few that Helios actually change though, the largest number is still in default - which Helios fallback on.
umm, there were Turkish buttons for it weren't there? I can't seem to find them anymore...
They were provided by someone else. I will try find that link again.
Ok, found the turkish buttons and just added it to the themes download, so it will not get lost: http://themes.simplemachines.org/index.php?lemma=1
thanks Bloc! ;)
Thanks for the info, Bloc. I changed a load of the tepmlates in 'default' and that cured a lot of the problems, but I still have the problem of the forum banner appearing in the middle of the wrong box :-\
Any idea what's causing this, please?

Hi Bloc,
thank you i have changed the versions of helios and tp ,they are working great together.
PS:Love the Enterprise theme.
Loving the theme!
Just a silly question - how can the Googlebots and Spiders be visible again, also users online today
You need to add the code manually in BoardIndex.template.php. Check the mod docs for what code is needed.

If you go to Bloc's homepage - he has a button generator! and the theme allows easy and clean button additions.

The you will need to look at the code in index.template and copy one of them, modifying for your own needs.

can you say how to do it
I AM ZERO AT PHP
PLZ HELP
You need to open index.template.php and find this line:
// How about the [search] button?
then, before that line, insert something like:
echo '<td><a href="YOUR_LINK">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/NAME_OF_IMAGE_FILE" alt="JUST_THE_NAME" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : 'JUST_THE_NAME'), '</a></td>';
Just insert the things in uppercase with your actual button info. And if you need more buttons just re-use that code bit as many times you need. Beware that space might be tight though, since it will NOT wrap - its a table with just columns after all. :)
Hello Bloc!
I really love this theme. Thanks a lot for your work.
The only problem that I've got with it is that my users (and I) are unable easely distingish to recognize links in the articles as the colors and style isn't that different from normal text. An example would be a text where it says "Here you can find the newest videos" and only the word "here" is linked to another site.
Do you have a tip what change might make sense? I already thought of changing the links's css styles to bold but I don't want to lose the function in the mains sheme where linked titles of sub-forums with new articles are set in bold and the others in normal.
Thanks a lot,
Sven
Bloc, once again very nice theme - integrates with my forum and my banner perfectly.

Try to open style.css and change the color defined in a:link, a:visited and a:hover. The first is all links, second links you been to, and third hovering over them.

Well yes, I know that, thanks. The problem is that I don't really have an idea of what changes look good as design isn't my favour. And I thought that if you think that other link colors and/or style would look better it would have been integrated in the basic theme so that I just would need to use future versions and others would profit of it as well.
Thanks,
Sven @ fooserama.de
ah, I see. I will look on the colors and maybe saturate them more.

my site is http://www.modifiedsociety.com (http://www.modifiedsociety.com)
forum http://www.modifiedsociety.com/forum (http://www.modifiedsociety.com/forum)
im using the helios multi forum with the morkal portal. I would love to change it tp. how can i replace morkal portal with tp with out wiping any data.
I really like the tiny portal used on http://www.misfitmafia.com/smf/index.php (http://www.misfitmafia.com/smf/index.php)
your help is really appreciated! 8)
I am afraid there is no easy way to convert exisiting data - you will need to copy over every article etc. manually.
Once TP has reached 1.0 and having more modules I will see if converters can be made. Until then, its only possible manually.
I have added a custom logo that is 175 pixels high. This causes the avatar and the stats to the left of it to start too low. What do I need to change in the index.template to make it start at the same height as the logo no matter the size? Here is a screen cap to show what I mean.
Thanks.

How do I center it? I am not fluent in this php code by any stretch. If you can tell me where to add the code I can do it and would be extremely appreciative.

glad i could help
Hey Bloc, great theme as everyone has mentioned. I've read through the first 10 pages or so, and I'm having a hard time seeing at this point, switching between tabbed websites messing with my forum all the while http://forum.mirrorstonemusic.com I noticed a couple of sites that have the menu bar left justified and I would like to do the same. One thing I notice is that the header shrinker icon is different in my version 05.02.2006 vs the other sites I have visited, maybe an older version? Can this be adjusted in the index template file? Sorry if it's been posted earlier in the thread, great reading though!
Yes, it was changed to just a button like the rest. Moving over to left should be easy though, just find this in index.template.php:
echo '<td style="width: 39%; background-color: black;">
and change to:
echo '<td style="background-color: black;">
That should move it left I assume. Let me know if it works.
That certainly did it, and that was the area in the index that I was looking to make changes, just wasn't sure what the changes consisted of. Thanks a million, just a small preference. I noticed earlier in the post that some people were having a hard time finding the font you used to make buttons for the menu, are you still doing custom ones? I need "Mirrorstone Home" (without quotes), "Tour Dates", "Discography" and "Contact". I may have more later, still under development.
Never mind, found the button generator!
Great. :)
Installed TinyPortal so it looks better centered now, but nice to know how to move it around. TP rocks BTW. I've been messing with forum software since about 2001, and it was of course, phpBB back then. I installed the first version of SMF when it came out as well. I'm running a site now that supports cPanel and Fantastico, it's very kewl how easy they've made it to get SMF up and running. My hosting company only supports 1.07 however, so I had to go back and do it the old fashioned way to get the board itself up and running, but loving all the new features!
This is by far, the best template that I've ever seen. Only one question, how do you get those extra side bars on your left? Would that be a mod, and if so, which one?
www.tinyportal.com It has a menu on the right as well, I just chose to hide it. It turns your forum into a functional website as well. Pretty sweet deal and very customizable. One word of caution, I had to tear down SMF 1.07, since I had a lot of trouble getting TP up and running on it, it's possible, but it was easier to simply rip it out and start fresh with 1.1RC2. If you use TP, and are planning on using Helios Multi, make sure to use the TP version of Helios over the SMF Helios. It's all on their download site. Also, you need to sign up for the forum on TP's site in order to see all the downloads available. TP also supports other themes as well. Have fun with it, I am!
i have uploaded the Helios theme but i can not see it on the theme list :(

If you uploaded via FTP, you still need to install it. Go into administration, themes and layout. Give it the path to your theme and install it. You can also upload the zipped theme and install that way too.
While I am considering to upgrade from Helios 1.1 to 1.1rc2 finally, I had hopes that an old problem would have finally been fixed - but it hasn't. Which leads me to the possibility that it might be a mistake on my side.
Following scenario:
I am using helios-german and all checkboxes are severely screwed, as in not having an kind of background or anything. I changed back to english for the snapshot, so you get an idea where it comes from. The problem persists with both the old helios and helios1.1rc2
(http://www.runschke.de/files/helios_multi_checkboxproblem.jpg)
As you can see it is rather hard to pin down the actual location of the checkboxes. If I remember correctly this problem popped up when I switched from Apache1.3 to Apache2.0 a few months ago. Ever since that I wasn't able to fix it, without making manual changes to the css - but I am not really into that css stuff ;)
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sascha
Really strange..which browser did you use for that screenshot?
I'm using Opera 8.54 and since it seems you suspected it to be a browser issue, I tried IE6 and it showed perfect results for the checkboxes - white background with shades at the border it seemed.
Would it be possible for you to check into the reasons why Opera isn't displaying it properly? Maybe IE6 isn't interpreting the CSS like it should, but corrects some kind of missing definition by itself - making it unnoticable for IE users. I really wouldn't make me wonder... as I usually expect Opera to show the real results and IE just making use of some proprietary definitions noone else uses in that way.
Hiya! I upgraded to version 1.1 RC2 and now I see a lot of errors in my log where it cannot find this:
...Themes/helios_multi/images/icons/normal_post_sticky.gif
Does anyone have this image that I can copy and upload? For some reason its not in the 1.1 RC1 nor the upgraded version unless I missed it.
Much appreciated, and looove this template. I've been using it for ages now and its the best IMO. ;D
It should be in the RC2 of Helios? If not, simply copy it from classic theme, I think it was those that was used for it.

I'm using Opera 8.54 and since it seems you suspected it to be a browser issue, I tried IE6 and it showed perfect results for the checkboxes - white background with shades at the border it seemed.
Would it be possible for you to check into the reasons why Opera isn't displaying it properly? Maybe IE6 isn't interpreting the CSS like it should, but corrects some kind of missing definition by itself - making it unnoticable for IE users. I really wouldn't make me wonder... as I usually expect Opera to show the real results and IE just making use of some proprietary definitions noone else uses in that way.
Any insight on this one Bloc? Did you check if you get the same results with Opera? I really hope I'm not alone on fixing this one :(
Thanks in advance,

Just installed SMF via auto-installer & then auto-updated leaving me with SMF 1.07
I want THIS theme! It's perfect. Problem is I see a 1.06 version & a 1.1RC version.
Can I use this theme on 1.07 totally safely?
(not willing to make any modifications to theme or that manual upgrade of the forum to 1.1RC version).

I did the same thing Arma, and it worked fine. The thing that I found was that when I wanted to start using Tiny Portal, they didn't have a 1.07 TP theme, so I went ahead and upgraded to 1.1RC. Actually there are a few more features in 1.1RC, not that I can name them off the top of my head, but it went smoothly. I was even able to maintain all the posts and members without much trouble, but make sure to back up your MySQL database if you decide to undertake that route. Just my 2 cents ;)
Just noticed, you used an auto-installer. Did you use Fantastico, or something similar? It's not hard at all to set the board up by hand either, by the way, all you have to do is upload the unzipped files and use the PHP installer, like http://www.mycompany.com/forum/install.php. Make sure to delete the install.php file once you're done, that is, if you decide to go that route. I may be completely wrong about this as well, so please correct me if I'm wrong Bloc, just saying that this was my experience, and what I did to work around it.
Please will people still note that 1.0 stopped template changes at 1.0.4,so Anything from then to 1.0.7 is ok for use.
Thanks for the correction! I did, however, have issues installing TP on 1.07 was my main point, I guess.

I think I'm having a problem related to this. Total Time Logged in stopped increasing and I have feeling there are other problems happening. The only modification to my SMF 1.07 board is Helios Multi 1.06 d/led from the theme page after you guys said it should be fine. This template thing is the only discrepency I could see:
SMF File / Your Version / Current Version
Current Templates / 1.0.1 / 1.0.4
Profile.template.php / 1.0.1 / 1.0.4
Any ideas?
Hi Bloc.
I'm using the helios_multi theme on my board and my members and i really like it a lot. i am having a small problem however. the red and silver versions seem to be missing some graphics or something. all other colors work fine, but when i switch to red or silver much of the board graphics are missing, with only "gfx" tags in their place. i read through this board and didn't notice anyone else having the this problem. i didn't knowif you have a fix for this or if u know what i can do to fix it myself. btw, my board version is 1.1RC2 and i did install the RC2 version of the theme. thanks.
hm, it should work. Have you tried to re-upload everything? to be sure no gfx was left out?
yeah, i've done that 3 times now, but i'll try again and let you know. thanks.
Was the theme installed through admin automatically? or uploaded through ftp and then manually installed?
it was uploaded and manually installed...i uninstalled it, deleted it from my server and my comp, redownloaded, then reuploaded and reinstalled...works great now...and the red is perfect fo my board! thanks Bloc!
:) Great!
Hey, bloc, I use this theme and I love it. Best I have found by far. I have a slight problem. I make little modifications to files all the time just to sort of tweak it out to my specifications so to speak and may have messed up a setting somewhere. Anyway, in my MessageIndex.template.php file there is a spot that by default calls for titlegb in this area in the first picture. But notice also there is a problem with the link itself:
(http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/7830/screencap185uh1.jpg)
I never could figure out how to fix it so I just switched it to catbg2 which doesn't have the problem with the link area. See below.
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/331/screencap186bf6.jpg)
I checked your demo site and it didn't have this problem either so it must have been me. Any idea what I need to change to remove that part behind the link?
Wow, this must be unfixable. :-\
Hello, is there a way to change the childboards in the index page to make them appear in columns instead of separated by commas?
i mean, to make the shildboards look this way:
In columns (http://forum.ragezone.com/#mmorpg-resource)
Thanks in advance ^^
PS: I'm also looking for the helios Multi Font to make some buttons.

bloc has a custom button generator on his site for all his themes.
Hitokiri,
Of course there IS a way... change the layout in boardindex.template.php

Yeah, i know that... and i have tried but without success hehe, that's why i'm asking ^^, thanks anyways...
PS: Still looking for the way to do that...
I am having an issue on RC3, which seems to apply to all of my themes, not just my forum default, which happens to be Helios Multi. My users cannot change avatars. The whole upload process seems to go smoothly, but there is no change to the av. It has been suggested that I re-upload EVERYTHING on the site....there has got to be a better way - I hope. Any suggestions? I first noticed this error within Helios, and some of the other themes have the action working properly...which has me a bit confused, since I imagine that a global error would effect all themes....
~scratching my head~
Hello all!
Can someone help me please?
I can't see online and offline buttons next to the posts and PMs. Why? I already have code from default theme display.template and noting was changed, except adding age and location, but i couldn't see online and offline buttons before modification. Check any topic of my forum at adress www.schoolnparty.com/forum/index.php
Please tell me what should i do!?
Very well made theme Bloc, lovin the red version of Helios. I used to make themes for phpBB, my themes were merely graphical manipulatons of their existing base theme mind, but I have lost faith in that software and am going to look at contributing to SMF by way of themes, if I can.
Could you tell me what I should do about the link at the bottom of the Helios theme being a dead link?
Do you have a new website URL I can replace the dead link with or should I simply change the link to send people here?
Keep up the superb work Bloc, most impressed by your work, if you're curios you can view my phpBB efforts here:

My new SMF site which I'm still setting up is here:
http://icometal.com/ForumInferno/index.php
Most beautiful dark theme I have found! You can also load a header without being a coding genius. I have it up on 2 sites now but I have a problem.
The buttons won't show up. Just get the frame and the little X in the corner. I am a total noob and don't know where to try to fix it at. I do have my own CPanel and file manager so I can get in and fix something if I had a clue what and where. This is the latest version of SMF and I am using the _multi version.
Been going through this forum but it is almost 2AM and there are a zillion pages. Any help appreciated.

A little right click, gives you the answer:

copy the directory: english to english-utf8 and your problem is solved ;)
That didn't work. I looked in some of the files and I see this...
($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/notify.gif" alt="' . $txt[131] . '" border="0" />' : $txt[131]) . '</a
Do I have to put in a URL to all those buttons in the code or something?
(Please don't laugh too hard as I know nothing of code and just look through for something that might be approprate to the problem)
No it's not in the code ....

OK the problem was a path wasn't going right. I showed your post to my host and he got it figured out in no time. He said to send you a thanks besides my own for the hint that helped to figure it out.
He has a lot of clients but Topgunmike spends most of his time, I think, on teamspeak trying to teach me to web. He says if I can learn anyone can. LOL Can't beat that in a host.
Bloc, I wanted to use this but it it doen't work with 1.1.2 :(
Sure it does. Check the download in the themes site of SMF or go to Blocs site at tinyportal.net
Any 1.1 theme should work with 1.1.2 and 1.1.3
mmm, the clickable icon things "home" - "admin" ect.. we're errors. the picture didn't show up.
It worked at first then just quit working.
go to www.Gear-Monkey.com and you'll see what I mean.
Try going into your Admin > Server Settings > Change the default language to English instead of English UTF8. Post back when you've done that and let me know. If that doesn't work, check the paths in the Theme settings. Perhaps post them here if you still need help.

You need to chmod your Settings.php file so it is writable.
How do I use chmod? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=23690.0)
The language file you referenced doesn't have anything to do with it.
Thank YOU so MUCH! Worked like a CHARM!!! I'm so glad I hooked up with SMF. You guys are the greatest!

it worked good all day yesterday and now today I can't log in, log out, post messages, go to admin. Basically my forum is completely shut down. Same thing happens with my members.
I have this error at the bottom of the forum
QuoteHelios /
Fatal error: Call to undefined function tportal_version() in /home/cbeers/public_html/forums/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code on line 440
I did a search on Load.php : eval issues and it appears everyone is saying the same thing. Template incompatibility issues. Can this be right?
Okay, I had like three helios files in my Cpanel > Template folder. and I deleted them all (one was Helios__final11_tp) .
I think the error was that one, as I don't have Tportal.
I uploaded a new Helios_finall11 (not _tp) and it works.
Thx
Nice work SizzleSale. Good to see you figured it out all on your own.
