This should be fine. 

Code Select Expand


// [SMF Media Gallery]
                  if (allowedTo('mgallery_access'))
         echo'
                         <li>
                         <a' , $current_action == 'mgallery'  ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=mgallery">
     <span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">' , $txt['mgallery_gallery'] , '</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>
</li>';

It is! Absolutely great! No need for an extra box in TP anymore. 

Thanks so much for your help and again for this adorable theme!

*does the happy dance*

Hi.
Will this theme work well with the new version 2.0? if it does not work with the version 2 ... will you publish an updated new version?
Thanks.

Best Regards

[Antechinus]

No it has only been made for 1.1.x. I may make a version for 2.0 but I haven't had time yet. Alternatively, I may release the variations as single themes for 2.0.

I want to add a couple of links to the navigation bar and I'm totally lost.  I did a search, but the response was so esoteric my eyes glazed over.

I want to add a label/link that directs people back to the main website and one that directs them to a photo gallery.

How do I word it, and where do I put it in which file?

I *love* the Outline theme, and was excited to see this new version.

I do have one criticism:  I own a wide-screen monitor.  This new theme really fills the space.
HOWEVER:  it is hard to read across such a wide area.  I may revert to the original Outline theme . . . at least I could alter it.

What version of smf are you using?

Have you tried to ask at the theme''s support topic?

[Dianne1]

I'm using version 1.1.8
I tried going to another theme support forum (child board?) but couldn't find a "new topic" button anywhere.  So, I posted here.

the theme support for Outline Omega is here

You can set a maximum width in the style.css. Change it to whatever you like. Note that this will not work for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 as they are stupid browsers. I think it might work with IE8 but I haven't tested it. Of course it works with any decent browser.

Code Select Expand

#wrapper {
width: 90%;
min-width: 900px;
             max-width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}


If you let me know which gallery you are using (including a link to the mod thread) and which site you wish to link to I'll give you button codes for them.

[Dianne1]

I'm stunned by your offer of assistance.  Thank you so much.

I have no idea what you mean by "mod thread".  Forgive my ignorance.  I'm not a newbie, but I'm not well versed, either.

The links I need in the navigation area is right after the "home" tab, one which says "website" and goes to http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/

and directly after that, a tab which says "gallery" and goes to:
http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/gallery

I think Outline is one of the most versatile themes I have seen.  I've used it for several websites, redoing graphics and css styles to fit the theme of their site.  I've tried others, but this has its own look and feel that doesn't remind everyone they're in a message board circa 1998.

One thing I noticed about this updated version:  when using the "Outline" theme in OutlineOmega_115, when you try to use news fader, the site switches to another theme (blue Azure?).  I gave up trying to have a news fader using Outline.

[Antechinus]

You probably still have the blue one set as the default option. Check under Admin >> Current Theme. You can set any one of the eleven options as the default.

For the buttons:

Code Select Expand

                             echo '
                   <li>
<a' , $current_action=='home' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">Site Name Here</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>   
         </li>';
                                                 echo '
     <li>
<a' , $current_action=='home' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="http://www.jamersonparkhoa.org/gallery">
<span class="menu-left"></span>
<span class="menu-mid">Gallery</span>
<span class="menu-right"></span>
</a>   
         </li>';

Those will display to guests and logged in members. If you want to restrict who they display to that's easy enough.

ETA: Actually I should update the menus for that theme. I could do much better coding these days.

[Dianne1]

I pasted the code in two different areas after this comment:


// Show the start of the tab section.


It's not working.  <sigh>

I do have my default set as Outline, not Azure.

And despite the trials, I love this theme and thank you for all your hard work.

[Dianne1]

Well, okay.  What happened, I discovered, was it became a "tab" inside the "home" tab.

So, I changed the code a bit (used it from another older Outline version on another site) and got links within the home tab.  That's good enough.

Thanks for your efforts!

[Antechinus]

You must have pasted the code in the wrong place. If you want separate tabs attach your index.template.php here and I'll sort them for you.

ETA: The news fader thing is funny because I use this theme as site default (set to Outline too) and it's fine with the news fader.

[Antechinus]

Hang on, when you say you have "your default" set to Outline do you mean site default or your personal default? This is what the admin page should look like.

[Dianne1]

I'm humbled by your eagerness to help.  I tried attaching the index.template.php but got a server error.  It's ok.  People can click on the "Home" tab and see the links, now.  That's really all I need. 

Thank you for your screen shot.  I was unaware.  I fixed it and now have a news fader.  Thank you so very much.

[Antechinus]

Well it's my theme and they get grumpy if I release the thing and don't support it.
The drop menus aren't functional in IE6 if that bothers you. I've learned more about coding since I released this theme and will be recoding the menus shortly so that they will work in IE6. I'll clean them up for faster loading while I'm at it.

ETA: I'm going to merge this thread with the support thread for the theme.

[LinkinParkBoy]

And for SMf 2.0? Pls

Yep. On its way, but there's a bit of work involved in it. I'll be starting on it soon.
