Title: [free] Studio-001, Studio-002 and Studio-003
Post by: Bloc on October 16, 2014, 06:24:34 PM
Just finished 3 variations of a free, modern theme with responsive css that should work better on mobile phones. Check out the full topics at my site for details:

Studio-001 http://blocthemes.net/index.php?topic=33.0
Studio-002 http://blocthemes.net/index.php?topic=34.0
Studio-003 http://blocthemes.net/index.php?topic=35.0


Theme options in all:
- path to your own logo
- upload your own logo and auto-insert it as your new one
- set background picture
- upload new background picture
- change the title headers background. The text color will adjust to light/dark backgrounds automatically
- social network links for Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest
- use your own copyright, and select its position(above or below normal copyright)
- hide the normal theme notice/copyright(it will still show inside the source code, but not on the page)
- shuffle the order of the top sections: the title, menu, news and navigation parts

Demos:
Studio-001 http://www.blocthemes.net/demos/index.php?theme=7
Studio-002 http://www.blocthemes.net/demos/index.php?theme=8
Studio-003 http://www.blocthemes.net/demos/index.php?theme=9

Beware that all themes installs as a mod. This is to make updates easier, in which your own custom changes stand a better chance of being kept when the theme is updated.

Well, I wish I could remove the links to be at least not pointing to wrong links - but the SMF team have in their wisdom removed the option to modify my own posts.

So, game over.

I'm having problems with Studio001 not resizing small enough. It seems like the menu icons won't resize and prevent the theme for looking good on a mobile phone. Any suggestions to fix this issue?

All the icons are defined in style.css. You should be able to change their widths there.

That would mean changing what menu elements are actually shown by SMF. The icons are just CSS replacements for these.

I recomend finding a menu manager mod to reduce the amount of menu items shown.

What *should have* been done by SMF devs a long time ago, was adressing this by splitting up the menu, or supply a simple manager(and of course adressed smartphone use). But theme things like this have never ranked high on their to-do list. Some of my previous themes had managing code - but not these.

You were a dev Bloc and more importantly, a dev solely focused on UI stuff...  so allow me to change your sentence a little bit:

What *should have* been done by US SMF devs a long time ago (by the time I was a dev), was addressing this by splitting up the menu, or supply a simple manager(and of course adressed smartphone use). But  I never actually did any of the things I now rant about LOL.

There you go, a more accurate sentence.

So you like to flame my work on the team(2006-2008) for these things not happening then (one thing was certain, I was probably much nicer at that time lol), despite the fact its been SEVEN years and plenty of other devs have come and gone, that could/should have adressed it??

You just proved my point.

We ALL share our part of the blame here... ALL of us.  You aren't excluded. You were a dev, YOU had the power to change things and you didn't, I just find it pretty hypocrite to rant about something you cold had changed but didn't.

Like I said to you already, been a dev is not always about taking all the glory and get your ass kissed, it also involves taking the blame and accept it. You share the same glory/fault/shame/blame as everyone else who had a dev badge before and after you.

So please do not come here with an attitude trying to blame everyone else. If you were a regular SMF user then yes, we AL devs will take the fault and the regular user will have all the right to complain about it. But you? you WERE a dev... how can you complain about something that you didn't do? and whats worse, trying to blame everyone else but you...  seems not only hypocrite but quite irrational too...

If I ever going to complain about something I will be complaining about myself for not doing it when I had the chance to do so.... but thats just me and my (seems to be) pretty inaccurate sense of duty and responsibility.

Criticizing SMF is fine and dandy but if you are going to do it, do it properly, you were a dev so the first thing you need to do is accepting your part of the responsibility. It seems so easy to blame somebody else is it? well, LEARN to blame yourself first, then you will have all the right to blame whoever you want.

2.1 is open source, rather than sit on your throne and blame everybody else why don't you make things happen? and please, do not come up with the same lame excuses you always use as I addressed all of them already.

You seem to forget that devs cannot do everything they like - in SMF that is - which is why those things were not done on MY time there. And its also one of the reasons I left the team then.

It doesn't matter really..bottom line is: I have every right to write about shortcomings that I see in SMF, and it is my decicon whether I personally will do anything about it. But it does not exclude you, the CURRENT devs, from adressing it. Just as you can totally ignore what i wrote,  but you took the time to form this reply - which tells me that I may right after all. :P

Thank you, Bloccy, for making these themes available recently. I was looking for a great responsive theme to complement a new site design and 001 is perfect.

I've installed Studio001 on a fresh 2.0.9 install with no other mods and I have ten warnings in my error log for every page load. I installed with the Package Manager and don't think I've missed any other steps.

Undefined index: active_button
File: /pathto/smf/Themes/Studio001/index.template.php
Line: 312


Is there a fix possible for this?

And you seem to be stuck in time :P  this is no longer 2006, 2008 or 2010 ;)  I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong please, that, according to the Gregorian calendar, we are currently in year 2015.

But beyond any dates, team has changed and this is something the vast majority of ever resentful ex teamies refuse to even accept... in your minds SMF shall forever be the evil you all must fight!!!!!

BUT BUT BUT I got good news for you Bloc, we aren't evil and you don't have to be in the team in order to add code to SMF!!! yes! thats right, you can now send us code without having to see our evil faces everyday!!! :P Oh!!!! but thats not gonna happen isn't it?  you ARE NOT gonna do it.... you prefer to sit, look pretty and keep on complaining about it....

Thats the thing Bloc, you want to complain BUT you don't want to do anything about it... seems like a pretty comfortable position for you isn't it?  It must be since you have been doing the exact same thing for how long now?

SEVEN years

Thanks Bloc ;)

So, if the team back then didn't allow you to make it happen then do it now! step on! send us a PR, I'm 94,2% sure it will be merged... even if it doens't get merged it can still be used as a mod or custom code for the community to benefit...   Oh!!!! but thats not gonna happen isn't it?  you ARE NOT gonna do it.... you prefer to sit, look pretty there and keep on complaining about it....

You seem to talk about it as if it was something that it absolutely must be done. That's not quite the case, if I felt it is absolutely necessary to do it I would have already done it, same holds true for any other current dev, because, like I said on my previous message, it is my responsibility to work on the things SMF needs...

If you quit after a few "no"s then you didn't really wanted to make this happen did you?  and you really don't want this to happen right now either otherwise you will be working on a PR right now...  so, what do you want then?  Oh thats right, you only want to complain... to sit on your throne and complain, thats your only goal here...

Bottom line is, you have never liked anything that SMF has produced (unless it was you the one who made it of course...)  you will keep doing this, why? I dunno, it seems it has now become something chronical that you must do for some unknown reason.

No Bloc, you aren't right. I responded to your messages because I utterly hate hypocrisy, I utterly dislike people blaming other people while excluding themselves off the responsibility. Thats why I replied and will continue to reply to your rants since every time you rant about something you conveniently left out your part of the responsibility.

Just like it is fair to give you (and any other previous dev) credit for all the stuff you did, it is only fair for you to accept your share of the responsibility in all the fails SMF has had. Like I told you, for the Nth time... you can't just take the good stuff and blame others for the bad stuff. Thats kinda childish if you ask me...


Just look at your excuse:  "You seem to forget that devs cannot do everything they like"  right there you are blaming others!  quite ironic and hilarious :D


Seriously Bloc, I have addressed every single one of your excuses for not contribute and have "completed" every single one of your rants... on all of your topics...  now, you have 2 options:

- Keep on doing this, can't blame you, it is utterly easy to sit on your throne pointing fingers all day long right? But it will result in me quoting my previous messages right after you (because its kinda boring having to address the same things over and over again).

- Let go any resentfulness you still have on SMF and MOVE ON.

- Erase your account and come back in a couple of months with a new one, pretending you didn't read any of this and continue to do the same complains... over and over again... for the Nth time.... for no reason at all...

Your call ;) (but my bet is on the third option)

LOL, the offtopicness :P

So, what would be the best practice for making our current theme (Studio001) actually fit on a smart phone screen. The current them resizes to a certain point, but not enough to fit on a smart phones screen without side scrolling. I'm sure it's because the main menu is too wide and won't resize any further. Does anyone know the best practice for addressing this short coming?

Post by: Kindred on March 23, 2015, 10:45:36 AM
How many extra menu items do you have?   Because it fits just dandy on my phone and tablet screens using the stabdard menu and even with 2 additional icons. ..

Or perhaps you are using a portal which is not optimized?

Title: Re: [free] Studio-001, Studio-002 and Studio-003
Post by: Bloc on March 23, 2015, 02:51:57 PM
The many items menus are pushing things out, try reducing them, like mentioned several times now.

This is another example ( Suki -or "miss sunday" perhaps- watch out, heres another rant :P ) of things in SMF not really tailored for mobiles. The menu should be shortened, split up, managed, whatever..so you could have used theme well on mobiles too. As of now you just have to live with it(or change Subs.php). The theme takes what it is served and try to make the best room out of that. You can change the widths of the icons, replace them too, I did not to preserve the big hit areas.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Please keep in mind that I'm a novice when it comes to customizing SMF. These things may come easy to DEV's, but to me they can be very challenging. I'm sorry if my questions seem redundant.

Post by: Kindred on May 01, 2015, 10:08:24 PM
Hey Bloc,

I am preparing to replace a custom use of the enterprise theme with studio-003

a few things that I noticed:
On all of these themes, there is an issue with your GenericList.template.php
specifically the code that creates the header row gets screwed up if there is no defined style for the row...
(the closing > for the div doesn't get loaded unless there is a style)
I also added the css_table_cell class to the div

I have changed it to:

      echo '
          <div ', empty($col_header['class']) ? 'class="css_table_cell"' : ' class="' . $col_header['class'] . ' css_table_cell"', empty($col_header['style']) ? '>' : ' style="' . $col_header['style'] . '">', empty($col_header['href']) ? '' : '<a href="' . $col_header['href'] . '" rel="nofollow">', empty($col_header['label']) ? '&nbsp;' : $col_header['label'], empty($col_header['href']) ? '' : '</a>', empty($col_header['sort_image']) ? '' : ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/sort_' . $col_header['sort_image'] . '.gif" alt="" />', '</div>';




Now... for customizing studio-003

adding some radius statements, so things get a little less blocky..
I notice multiple layers of colors one, over another over another...   with the curved corners, this becomes a pain in the butt to track down what level is pulling the background which is under the background...

the main menu buttons work fine, up until the Admin button. By the time it gets to the Moderate button, though, the hover effect is WAY off from the text and it just gets worse the further right you go on the menu...
Profile, My Messages, Calendar...  by that point, the hover effect isn't even under the words any more...

In index.template.php, I changed the color selector for the headings from a solid color to gradient
-- replaced the existing code with the following:

<style type="text/css">
.titlebg, .titlebg2, tr.titlebg th, tr.titlebg td, tr.titlebg2 td,
.catbg, .catbg2, tr.catbg td, tr.catbg2 td, tr.catbg th, tr.catbg2 th {
background: ' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . '
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, ' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . ' 0%, #000000 100%);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, ' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . ' 0%, #000000 100%);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, ' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . ' 0%, #000000 100%);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, top, right bottom, color-stop(0, #00004C), color-stop(1, #000000));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, ' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . ' 0%, #000000 100%);
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, ' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . ' 0%, #000000 100%);
}
</style>';

With this, I can select the color in the BAC admin section, and it creates a gradient heading background shading from color to black. :)
IMO, not quite so jarring on the eyes.




So, that's all well and good... some suggestions, some commentary...


Now however, we get to the crux of the matter.
I used the form selection from Enterprise to allow a choice of different color/headers - Enterprise just updated the header image itself -- with studio-003, I set the form to update and use a different CSS file.

Now...   the selector WORKS, but after the choice reloads, it still DISPLAYS the first item in the dropdown - not the one that was selected... I know I am missing something obvious but could you point out or suggest what I need to do to get it to display the actual selection chosen by the user? (it does get recorded in the database/theme table)



Finally...   what icons did you use for the mobile sized version?  I obviously need to get some more icons for the mods that will be getting added and I'd like to use the same designs. :)


thanks and nice work on this!

Is the code taken from Enterprise changed all the way? I mean, this code:

  <option value="" ', (!empty($options['mypic']) && $options['mypic']=='') ? 'selected' : '' ,'>Enterprise</option>

...the "mypic" part should be replaced with what you are using.

Thanks for the comments on this theme, I will certainly take the suggestions into consideration when it/they are updated next.

Post by: Kindred on May 02, 2015, 09:15:35 AM
I left 'mypic' as the variable name (which shouldn't matter (right?) - it's just a variable name -- and the current site, when we upgrade it has people sho have already chosen a setting under that variable)
Title: Re: [free] Studio-001, Studio-002 and Studio-003
Post by: Bloc on May 02, 2015, 04:34:02 PM
As long as "mypic" is used when fetching the colors/stylesheet, then yes, doesn't matter. If it still doesn't work, then maybe something was left out further up?

<li class="first', $childbutton['active_button'] ? ' topactive ' : '', '">
<a href="', $childbutton['href'], '"', isset($childbutton['target']) ? ' target="' . $childbutton['target'] . '"' : '', ' class="', $childbutton['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel">


generates an error on every page load...

8: Undefined index: active_button
File: /....../Themes/Studio003/index.template.php
Line: 344

Yes, an error that should have been corrected. I mistakenly thought loadMenuContext actually put the "active_button" variable/check on all items..but not so. :P

The theme code should rather read this, to accommodate the mistake:

<li class="first', isset($childbutton['active_button']) && $childbutton['active_button'] ? ' topactive ' : '', '">
<a href="', $childbutton['href'], '"', isset($childbutton['target']) ? ' target="' . $childbutton['target'] . '"' : '', ' class="', isset($childbutton['active_button']) && $childbutton['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel">

another tweak...

got rid of the IMAGES for on/off/on2/redir


.on_button{display:block;width:50px;height:50px;border-radius:25px;font-size:20px;color:#fff;line-height:50px;text-align:center;background:linear-gradient(to bottom,' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . ',black)}
.on2_button{display:block;width:50px;height:50px;border-radius:25px;font-size:20px;color:#fff;line-height:50px;text-align:center;background:linear-gradient(to top,' . $settings['header_bgcolor'] . ',black)}
.off_button{display:block;width:50px;height:50px;border-radius:25px;font-size:20px;color:#fff;line-height:50px;text-align:center;background:linear-gradient(to bottom,grey,black)}
.redir_button{display:block;width:50px;height:50px;border-radius:25px;font-size:20px;color:#fff;line-height:50px;text-align:center;background:linear-gradient(to top,grey,black)}


this now creates the circles, but uses the defined heading color for the ON/ON2

and then replace the image echo statements in boardindex (and messageindex) template

echo '
<a href="', ($board['is_redirect'] || $context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '" class="on', $board['new'] ? '' : '2', '_button">&nbsp;</a>';


(with appropriate changes for off and redir)
and removal or comment out of the existing <a... link code

BTW: Figured out the issue with the dorpdown/select...    I had changed the set values for the fields... but negelcted to change the values in the if statement - so it was getting SET to "negotiator" but was CHECKING for "1"

fixed that now...

a few more tweaks to go. :)


You never did answer one question...   what icon set is being used for the main menu?

I don't recall exactly what they were called...but there should be a PSD file to add more to them? In any case,using your own is a simple as making the sprite for them(and adding a few extra css styles of course, they follow the button id's anyway)
Title: Re: [free] Studio-001, Studio-002 and Studio-003
Post by: Kindred on July 31, 2015, 08:22:12 AM
So, I have made additional tweaks

here's the list of updates I have applied

1- corrected the list displays (they are all broken in AlphaCentauri, Studio001, Studio002 and Studio003)
2- replaced the on/on2/off/redir images with divs/spans using a radius. This includes the main "images" for eahc board and the descriptive "images" at the bottom of the board index
3- Added a dropdown to select a theme variation (each variation requires its own CSS at the moment)
4- Made the color selector option (in the BAC section) apply the color to the on/on2/off/redir as well as a few other places
5- made the color choice use a gradient in the headings and "image" replacements
6- fixed some CSS issues that had mods like gallery and wiki dropping the main section below the right/left nav options
7- added about 8 more icons for the mobile version/mods
8- tweaked the newsbox/titlebox
9- tweaked CSS to make a bunch of the sections use radius (rounded corners) rather than abrupt sharp edges.


Now, I am working on making the background image for the newsbox be actually responsive/fluid.

two variations:
test.turtleshellprod.com
los.turtleshellprod.com

:) Glad you took the time to enhance it. Theres alot that can be done to tweak and improve upon it.

Incidentally, much of the concepts in the Studio themes - including the BAC options - have been transformed/moved over into an upcoming project of mine called "alpha-themes", which i will put on github soon. Its a pure theme project, not a mod/theme. My goal is to also add various tweaks for other mods in this theme/repository, for all to use as they need. It will be GLP licenced as i don't want anyone re-selling derivatives of it, but certainly encourage free themes built from it.

You see, the Studio-themes were nice, but I felt I had to rewrite the CSS 100% instead of just tweaking SMF 2.0 styles to meet my goals and plans for it, it gets to a point where you put up your hands and just want to start fresh, start better.But more on that when its live.

Interesting...  I definitely would take a look at that when it is in some sort of ready (or close to ready) state. :)

I'm considering expanding the BAC options to include contrast colors and some other image selection tools.

Yes, adding in color changers can really enhance a theme. Was this for every user? Or just a setting for admin?

Just took a look at your links too, and I have to say they look really great! :) You've done an excellent job in transforming the originals, the rounded look suit them too(I  didn't really go for "curved" in these).

I was planning to add the BAC color edits for the admin...   mostly because the sites that I am currently designing for have a definite color palate that should be adhered to...

but adding a profile option to choose a color combination (like the old Helios theme) is a nice idea for use extended beyond those two sites.

Hey Bloc....   it's working nicely.

Studio-003 has been modified and taken out of my test site to be live at http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum

It's pretty slick and does a nice job on mobile.

I changed a few more things...
theme sub-set changer at the top
accordion/touch-friendly menus for the side-bar in profile and admin
(the menus were getting too long and were pushing down the content a huge amount on mobile)
modified the header image CSS to be a bit more responsive
modified the header usermenu to look nicer with the header image background (and then change as the background shifts with the smaller screens)
had to disable a bunch of the sub-menu actions in the BAC screen since they were generating errors on every load of the BAC page. (local settings for BAC remains - the other screens are removed, since anything that called home was choking)
Some tweaks to the CSS to make the Likes mod play nice.
Some tweaks to the CSS to make the Levertine Gallery mod play nice
rewrote Ultimate profile mod template to use div:table instead of actual tables
modified the subs.php main menu to remove options which are duplicated and move some options to sub-menus.

next up...   re-write boardindex and messageindex to use div:table instead of actual tables...

You are going to need to be a little more specific.
What do you mean by "breaks the login page"?
URL demonstrating the error?

(because I am using these themes on several sites and they work very nicely on mobile devices...)

Hello bloc, thanks for creating this lovely theme, i need help in changing the width of the post page and some other sections of the theme to 100%, so the theme stretches and fits to screen, check the image below

I just noticed it happens mainly when the phone is in Portrait mode if the phone is set to landscape mode and bent, it shows the remaining contents of the login page.

The login page is not behaving responsively.

Code (find the following) Select

@media only screen and (max-width: 800px), only screen and (min-resolution: 300dpi) {
.trigger label { margin-top: -40px; }
.floatleft, .floatright { float: none; }
   

Code (add this, just after) Select

.login dt { text-align: left; }

personally, I think it looks terrible... but (in studio003 - not sure about the others)
#full_content {
    background: #101010 none repeat scroll 0 0;
    border-radius: 1em 1em 0 0;
    clear: both;
    padding: 1em 1.5em;
}

remove the padding.

I reallt recommend that you learn some basic CSS stuff and learn to use firebug in firefox or the webdeveloper tool in firefox (and chrome)
