Helios Multicolor

[Bixby]

Hello:

This is a great theme and works well for a community I am developing. I noticed, however, that linked events do not show up when viewing a topic that is linked to the calendar. One of the main purposes of the site is to have a consolidated calendar of events that links to threads for various venues. It is important for contributors (posters) to see the linked event.

Is this something that can be easily accomplished with this theme?

FYI: We are running SMF 1.1.11

Thanks in advance,
Bixby

It should show up if you select events to also show on "boardindex". Do they show on default theme?

[Bixby]

If I toggle between the default SMF Theme and Helios, the main difference is that there is a window in the default theme that appears under the link path showing the section and sub-section where the post is located and above the post window with the REPLY | NOTIFY | etc.

The windows has a title Linked Events and shows the connector from the thread posting to the calendar with an option to edit the calendar event by clicking on the red asterisk. Ie: "* Board Game Night: July 20, 2010"

That window does not appear in the Helios theme. Our website will largely be focused around calendar events, so this is an important window.

Hope that clarifies.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned...

There's an "english" directory, inside "images", that has a load of images from the old SMF v1.1.11 default theme. Or, is it Babylon?

Anyway, does that need to be there?

If it does, I'm assuming it's for compatibility with v1.1.11, yes?

On v2.RC3, I guess I can just delete them.

Can you confirm, please, Bloc?

Hiya Bloc,

I was wondering if you could help me out.   I have been trying to use your themes (which I love) but am having trouble getting sertain things to work on my dev team forums.

As you can see, the Nav Bar is messed up and does not have the normal appearance.   Also, the donations link has disappeared from the base nav. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Flap

Just thought I would give this a gentle nudge to see if there were any developments. We really like the theme and dearly hope the functionality can be included in the theme.

Greetings to all,

Like everyone else I agree the Helios Theme is the far and away the Best. I have a few issues I need help with though.

I am running SMF 1.1.11 with the Helios_Multi, and a handfull of normal add-ons.

I am able to enter the Website name at the top of the page but I am not knowledgable enough to know how to increase the font size or change the color of the text.

What are the exact steps a person needs to follow to change these?

When I attempt to include my logo image on the right hand side of the box that contains your Avatar and "You have messages" on the left side of the box, I am able to produce a little white box with a red X inside but no actual logo image.

What are the exact steps a person needs to follow to correct this?

If I could resolve these two difficulties I would be happy, but if there is an easy way to switch places with the "Avatar/messages" and the logo image I would be even happier.

My fourth question would be what are the exact steps a person would have to perform to change the solid black background into something halfway in between the solid black and the medium grey boxes of the default theme colors or maybe even a deep royal blue?

Thanks

I am able to produce a little white box with a red X inside but no actual logo image.

That suggests that you simply have the path to te logo wrong. If you right-click on the cross and select "Save image address/location/whatever", you'll see what that path should be.

[Mr Nemo]

As best I can tell there are three methods in the "admin mode" on the "current theme" page of helios to display your domain name and or your logo of choice.

Method one is to type your domain name in the box where it says "Topbar" "use your own html code". When I do this all I get is my domain name at the top of my SMF 1.1.11 Helios as if I had typed it there. How does a person increase the font size and change the color of the text in this location?

Method two is to move to the line below the "Topbar" box located at "admin mode" on the "current theme" page and type something into the box to the right of the word "Logo:"

I assume this to be where a person points their logo on their homepage to the right hand side of the top box of SMF 1.1.11 Helios and they do this by right clicking on their homepage logo then copying and pasteing the address of their homepage logo into this box across from the word "Logo:"?

This assumes a person has a published homepage with a published homepage logo, correct? If it does then this temporarily rules me out but I'd like to have something there for now so this moves us on to method three.

Method three, as best I am able to tell, is to have an image [size unknown] located somewhere on the Internet or somewhere on your computer. You then copy and paste the URL location of the desired image into the box located approximately twenty lines below "Logo" to the empty box to the right of where it says "Logo image URL". But I am probably completely wrong about this since I am guessing!

I suppose the fourth method would be to insert an image into method one?

It would be nice to know the answers to these three dilemmas and I believe the answers would be helpful to others besides myself.

Thanks,

I just upgraded to 2.0 and I'm having an issue with some of the buttons.

On your website, you advertise the buttons as being there.

The screencap shows the "home" button there. On my forums, it's just plain text. I have the images in the English folder and I am aware that there were some changes to make it more compatible for multiple languages. I only have English installed, so I would like to know if there is any way I could make the images show up myself (home, help, search, admin, etc).

Thanks.

I'm using 2.0 RC3 on a test site and the same thing happens for me, no buttons, just "links".

Also, when changing colors using the switcher at the top the top of the forum goes all nuts, turns white and stays that way.

Example: http://www.eojmarket.com/sigtest/index.php

Top of the site is all white...

Edit: Part of the bottom to I just noticed...

This theme rocks!!! Finally a theme with color selections. I have 1 issue though: The menu buttons are not showing up for some reason. The links are just showing text. I am using SMF RC3 and cant figure it out. Can someone please give me a hand solving this? Please see the attached pic for reference.

No, I don't.

I say that its kept as close as possible, but buttons were not one of those things. On the 1.1 version its quite another matter of course.

No buttons are used in the SMF 2.0 version, just background graphic and pure text links.

[MoreBloodWine]

What would it take to get the buttons for 2.0 ?

[XtcruleZ]

Oh, if its supposed to be like that that im fine with it...i just figured it was supposed to have them.

[XtcruleZ]

Here is something i cannot figure out....i have 2 websites setup exactly the same way..on my main site, whenever a post is quoted, it looks like this:


On my test site, they look like this:


Strange thing is, they are using the EXACT same css files. Can anyone help me here, i would like the quoted posts to have a different background color like they do on my test site.

[MoreBloodWine]

Are they the same theme versions ?

That said, for arguments sake copy the css from yoru test site to the main site and see if anything changes.

[XtcruleZ]

Ok...i now feel dumb...my test site is RC3 while my live site is still RC2. Thats gotta be it.

I have tried 3 times to get this theme to work and I've just not had any success. I had it on previous SMF installation and not only did it work very well I loved it.  However, it is just not displaying appropriately.  I've got 1.1.11 installed and my issues are as follows:

• No navigation buttons display in the header/upper section of the theme.  AT ALL.  As in no way to navigate around the site, period.  And having checked the properties, followed the path to see if I could adjust it and make it work, there is no indication of why they are not displaying.
• Changing colors does not work.  It says that there is an error in the code of the index file...however, I upon inspecting the index file, there is no indication of what text I should be adding.

Is there something that I can do to fix this?  I am willing to provide screenshots if needed
