Putting section back in admin

[Deezel]

Hi guys,
I want to add the section attached back into a custom theme. Any one know what i need to add, and what file to add it to?
SMF 2.0 RC4
Thanks in advance.
Deezel.

Thats a fairly easy job, but before giving you the code I would like to know which theme are you using as even after creating the those columns your theme might not be able to utilize them.

[Deezel]

it's called Blue Line... it's a new theme by a friend of mine.
Here is a link to it at my site...... will remove link if not allowed.

So here we go (Make backup of all files listed below before modifying them)

We need these file

Themes\<theme you are using>\index.template.php
Themes\<theme you are using>\Settings.php
Themes\<theme you are using>\css\index.css


Now make these modifications

Themes\<theme you are using>\index.template.php
Find:

Code Select Expand

<div id="bodybg">';
echo '


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

<div id="bodybg">';
echo !empty($settings['forum_width']) ? '
<div id="wrapper" style="width: ' . $settings['forum_width'] . '">' : '', '


Find:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<a href="'.$scripturl.'" title=""><span id="logo"></span></a>';


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

echo '
<span id="logo"><a href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? $context['forum_name'] : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a></span>';




Themes\<theme you are using>\css\index.css

Find:

Code Select Expand

#logo {
position: absolute;
top: 5em;
left: 1em;
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 85px;
cursor: pointer;
background: url(../images/theme/logo.png) no-repeat;
}


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

#logo {
position: absolute;
top: 5em;
left: 1em;
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 85px;
cursor: pointer;
}


Themes\<theme you are using>\Settings.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

array(
'id' => 'smiley_sets_default',
'label' => $txt['smileys_default_set_for_theme'],
'options' => $context['smiley_sets'],
'type' => 'text',
),


Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

array(
'id' => 'header_logo_url',
'label' => $txt['header_logo_url'],
'description' => $txt['header_logo_url_desc'],
'type' => 'text',
),
array(
'id' => 'smiley_sets_default',
'label' => $txt['smileys_default_set_for_theme'],
'options' => $context['smiley_sets'],
'type' => 'text',
),
array(
'id' => 'forum_width',
'label' => $txt['forum_width'],
'description' => $txt['forum_width_desc'],
'type' => 'text',
'size' => 8,
),


There is one more field of site slogan, but your theme don't use it at all (in fact most of themes don't use it). That field is used for smf logo shown on the right side in default curve theme.

Do post your feedback here.

Can you update the link once again?

[Deezel]

PM'd you the link, as this theme is not yet ready and we do not want it out in the public until completed.

[Joker™]

Are you sure that this was the theme you have shown me earlier? As the theme I've seen before was color combination of dark blue and black and this one is having completely opposite color combinations.

See you post

it's called Blue Line... it's a new theme by a friend of mine.

And now the theme link you have given me is have theme with different name.

Can you verify these things first that on which theme you want to work on then only I'll be able to help you properly .

[Deezel]

My apologies mate  . The theme is called Redemption. All the info you gave me earlier works on the first theme i was doing but not on this new one.

Just see the edits and you will make out how to implement these options in other themes also.

[Deezel]

You da man.
Thanks for all your help Joker.

[Deezel]

Okay, say i want to set the forum width as 70% by default, but still leaving the option for admin to change if they want to. Can this be done?

[Joker™]

See this code in your theme index.css

Code Select Expand

div#wrapper
{
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}

in width make it

width: 70%;

[Deezel]

I forgot to thank you once again Joker. You da man!!!!
