BlackRainV.2

[Crip]

What SMF version?

[ddabcd277]

1.1.13

[Crip]

You can adjust the / left / Top menu tbs in the style.css , screen Res. has to do with how they Align , also different browsers show the Alignment differently...

That was simple. Thanks.

Figured Out: Is there any way to widen the theme or whatever to utilize that "dead space" on the left and right of the site ?

Ps; How would one replace the Black Rain image at the top with say a site banner ?

Edit: Aside from the above, how do I disable the shrinking of the news fader ?

[Crip]

Did you figure it out??

Hello,

Need a lil help with your theme, I would like the profile bit to the left of the posts to be bigger than it currently is and make the post area smaller, if this is possible can you tell me how to do it.

Cheers Arran

P.s. Im new to this SMF stuff XD

I don't know how I missed the reply but I got everything figured out with the exception to how to stop the fader from being shrinkable.

Hi Crip,

Your Black Rain V2 is a favorite with the members of my small music recording forum. Following directions elsewhere on this site, I've managed to install 3 additional buttons 'Forum', 'Chat' and 'Music', between the 'Home' and 'Help' buttons. The Chat and Music buttons open in new windows via 'Target' option; the 'Forum' button is in anticipation of installing a Portal one day and having a way to bring up the SMF forums.

The buttons work fine on my test site, with one minor problem, the alignment of the Home button is now off. I tried to post a cropped screen shot of the button alignment, but I can't post images here, yet. Basically, the Home button is about half its height above the rest of the buttons - as if it is aligning to the top of the graphic and the rest are aligning to the middle?

I'm afraid the extent of my programming skills are to follow line by line instructions  and I can't figure out how to realign them.

I'm running SMF 1.1.13, with the Stop Spammer, Not Captcha, Aeva Lite, httpBL (Honeypot), Ignore Another Uer and Flashchat Integration mods.

Thanks in advance for helping an old guy out, Crip!

.. i have saw that before on 1.1 -- you MUST make sure you have all your :. <li> < span></ span> </li> in the correct spot -- those Span tags keeps the Tabs in-line..

Thanks. Spent a few minutes staring at it this morning and finally spotted the problem. I had copied the code for creating the 'Home' button to make the 'Forum' button, changing the text to Forum and adding an ?action=forum command ... in doing so, I didn't notice the UL tag, so basically I had a 2nd, unclosed UL tag embedded within the strip of menu buttons that caused the offset. Getting rid of the second UL tag has the buttons lining up nicely.

Again, thanks for a nice theme, Crip.

Hello Crip,

I absolutely love this theme as it is highly consistent with the subject matter of the board. My only question, for now, is one asked earlier but I think he figured it out so I didn't get to see the answer. So...

...How would one replace the Black Rain image at the top with say a site banner ?

The easiest way, is to replace the myslogan.jpg file with your own in the Themes/BlackRainV2/images/ directory.

It's a 430x88 jpg file, easily loaded into your paint/photo program and modified with your own logo.

[Kaiza Killa]

Thank you very much. The only thing I need to clarify is I've saved the "blackrain" logo to my desktop so that I can just replace it entirely with my own logo but keep it the same size, but how do I get my new banner from my computer onto the forum?

I really like the Filezilla FTP client. It's free, runs on PC, and configures easily with settings your Host provider gives you.

Basically you need the URL of your FTP server. Account login name. Account password. And port.

Or perhaps your Website host has a Control Panel (CPanel) and file manager there, where you can locate the file on your PC in one window, and target directory in another window and then just press a transfer / upload button.

There is a Single <Table> in the {index.template.php} , this is where you can change Logos/Banners

Code Select Expand


<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
         <tr>
   <td align="center"><a href="'.$scripturl.'" title="', $context['forum_name'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/myslogan.jpg" style="margin: 2px;" alt="', $context['forum_name'], '" /></a>
          </td>
   </tr>
     </table>

Thank you both for your help. I am extremely green when it comes to situations such as this so I went with the cPanel method. I was able to change my logo by uploading my image under the same name and clicking "yes" when it asked me if I wanted to overwrite the "myslogan.jpg" that was already there. Again, thank you both for your help.

Edit: Sorry, one final question. I saved the "myslogan.jpg" image and just edited it with what I wanted under the assumption that I had to work with the same size. The banner is quite small though and if I wanted a larger banner, would it accomodate for a larger "myslogan.jpg" image?

Yes , i have saw BRv2 with some huge logo/banners => in "height" => as far as "Width'' , just adjust your overall theme Width until it fits..
