Alienation

[3nd3r]

Only two files in .../public_html/Themes/alienation11final/languages :

Modifications.english.php
Settings.english.php

So, I've copied this two, rename and translate them, then this folder shows this four files:

Modifications.english.php
Modifications.spanish.php
Settings.english.php
Settings.spanish.php

And both problems are solved! 
Thank you!

Problem is back again?¿?
I've refreshed cache in my browser... Problem still there... 

Any idea?

Thank you

P.D.: I'll post this problem on General Support / Administration and functionality with a link to this one.

I'm wondering... I've seeing your TP and looks very 'tasteful' 

What if I install this (yours) Mod+Theme (TP+alienation) on my forum? Do you think the problem will be solved?

[bloc]

Maybe..but I doubt it. TP only expand SMF, but it doesn't change so many things in it to actually fix things lol.

It might be a problem with SMF version of Alienation. However..that works fine on my demo site for SMF themes only: http://www.tinyportal.net/demo/index.php?demo=alienation

[3nd3r]

I see. Thanks for answer.
I'm wondering if it could be a question about language pack... Anything about missing '.gif' s...
I'm going to see... If I copy from one place to another... 

If not solved, I will do a complete backup of entire site + SQL db, and try to install TP...
Any advice about this? Have I got to do anything more special before installing TP?

[bloc]

No, if you can install mods through package manager, its a simple as install it through there and then install Alienation TP theme (just as other normal SMF themes) - if you want to use that theme.

One thing though..try to install TP as the first mod..it tends to compete with other mods on certain changes, and it seems it works best by installing that first.

[3nd3r]

At last my main problem is solved!:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=129739.msg906205#msg906205

So, I'm going to try TP...
Well, just for resume: I've got a SMF 1.1.1 forum, spanish language pack and Alienation Theme. When I'll go to install TP, the work to do is:
- Install TP Mod
- Install Alienation TP Theme
- Install spanish language pack

My question is if I would pass through any of this steps... ¿Will I need to install Alienation Theme or spanish pack again, just after installing TP Mod, or I won't?

[bloc]

No, you don't need to. Alienation TP is exactly like normal Alienation, just with a few more images and extra php calls to display the panels. Otherwise its a regular SMF theme.

[3nd3r]

Ok. Thank you.
I will try.

Got a Q.
Can i block the left header for my forum users?

Cause a want my forum to be wraped and i need to save as much space as posible.

[bloc]

Its designed to let each user wrap it for themselves - it contains after all the user links etc.

Got an issue that was posted on before but I didn't see a solution. I've got the same issue with a hole in the top banner and the right logo misplaced at the top (Link here: http://freelancersallianceonlinegaming.com/forums/index.php?board=84.0) we would like to use this theme for our Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3 game) section in our forums but I would like to get this bug resolved, any help would be greatly appreciated

I also have the dreaded "hole in the banner".

It doesn't hurt anything (I've been running Alienation as the default theme since forever) but it is darned annoying to look at.

I also saw the symptom on one of bloc's forum pages...let me see if I can find it...brb.

I can't see a hole...

[oaqm]

I can't see a hole...

And I'm not surprised. That's what makes this such a fun issue. Some see it, some do not. Some browsers see it, some do not. One admin is running IE 7, (version 7.0.5700.6) he can't see the hole, another one is running IE 7 (version 7.0.5730.11) and he does see it. So far, everyone running Firefox 2.0.0.3 seems to be "hole-free", but it wouldn't stun me if the next person to comment could see the hole with FF.

Here is a screen shot of the TinyPortal link I included above, the browser is IE 7.0.5730.11, said screen shot taken at 08:37 Eastern time.

I don't know if this'll help you, with this. But, it worked, for me. Even with Alienation.

We have clickable links, in our banner. Each time they wanted to change the links, it meant changing the banner code on each and every theme.

To get around this, I created "banner.php" with just the code for the banner. It looks like this (With the forum url changed and all the links removed. Obviously, you'd need to change "http://mysite.co.uk/Banner.png" to whatever you need.):

REMEMBER TO KEEP A BACKUP COPY OF EACH FILE THAT YOU ALTER, JUST IN CASE!

Code Select Expand

<center><img src="http://mysite.co.uk/Banner.png" usemap="#Banner" alt="" style="border-style:none" /></center>
<map id="Banner" name="Banner">
</map>


That code I called "Banner.php" and it's stored in public_html.

Then, at the top of every index.template, I added the following, right after "<?php" and before "// Version: 1.1.2; index"

Code Select Expand

require 'banner.php';

So the top looks like this:

Code Select Expand


<?php

require 'banner.php';

// Version: 1.1.2; index

I wonder if this would help, in your situation.

Maybe the size of the banner is crucial, I don't know. For reference, mine's 800x170 pixels in size.

You might need to go to the settings for each theme and remove any code, there, which might mean that you'll have two banners, or something.

[oaqm]

I will give that a shot. Basically, it appears that you are using the banner.php as a "band-aid" to cover a hole that may or may not be there?

Thanks for your suggestion!

[kat]

Pleasure, mate!

I know precious little about php, to be honest. I just found some code that worked and butchered it, to suit.

So much better than changing the index.template in all themes, though. I have quite a few on my forum...

I have the same problem, I truely believe it is in the length or size of the logo you add. When I tried to add a whole line  of logo,
ex: "Disciples of Apacolypse" I got the hole.  When I just use a small png logo it has no hole.  I must have to do with the paramaters in the header.  Unfortunatly I can't code php, so I Don't know how to fix.  But I have played with various lengths and the longer the script the bigger the hole. Go figure.
Just my 2 cents worth.

The alienation is one from my favourites
But could someone gives me a hint how I can remove the left panel
It is the index.template.php.
Should look like the default theme.

THANKS
