Sunset

Link to the theme


Sunset theme with some SEO features such as site name and page name in the meta title and H1 tags on the header image, message preview with mouse over effect on topic links... H1 tags can be replaced by your own logo in the admin section, the same way you do with the default theme.

nice work , good theme

[Minare]

I can't see header on demo, I hope the problem is because of me ( via mozilla )

[chadon]

It works fine on my computers with Mozilla Firefox. Did you try to refresh the page?
Thanks Fussilet for the compliments

[TosTos]

Very nice, different design.

For those of us with a tight resolution the border is quite large.  If you login is there an option to change the border size?

[chadon]

 If you are talking about the border of the header image, I am afraid you can't change the size of the border as it is part of the image and not an html code. You can modify the image or replace it with one of your own but it has nothing to do with the code. Can you tell me what resolution you have? I tried different ones but didn't see much difference with the borders.

1400*1050

Thanks for the heads up.  It is really pretty.

I like the style of the theme but i have my own banner and would liket to withdraw the top part is it possible ?

[chadon]

I am not sure what you mean but if you would like to replace the image in the header by your own image, the easiest way would be to name your banner titlebg.jpg and overwrite the file in the image folder of the theme.
You can also have your own banner placed on the top of the header image by accessing the Sunset theme settings from your SMF admin panel.

If I didn't answer your question let me know and if you speak French, feel free to send me a PM.

I am not sure what you mean but if you would like to replace the image in the header by your own image, the easiest way would be to name your bannier titlebg.jpg and overwrite the file in the image folder of the theme.

I already place the image , on top of the screen my banner as come and right under the sunset image did come ... and i am not very well know with modification of site... Just to give you an idea it took me about 6 months to find how to replace the website banner on the default board... To add a theme and do modification it will probly take me another 6 months ... I need exact informations on how to do it ... my site is same since i bought it and till i get all the way to do it i guess it will stay this way... Sad because it need a relooking on it....  ... more then 5 years the same way

Hi all love the theme and have it on 2 forums but im very new at running these forums I have figured out how to change the header myself but my problem is the type I call forum type that is in the banner I would like to remove that type from both sides as the type on the right side should all be down in the forum info center and I have had people complain that there is no login spot without clicking on login. But how can I turn off the type

Mairead Carlin Fan Forum - Administration Center ok I figured out how to stop the forum name but this is still there
- Server Settings it shows where you are in the forum any way of stopping that

Hi

This topic is for the Sunset theme for SMF 1.X.X. Did you install the right theme for your 2.0.7 forum? Here is the right one for SMF 2:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=618

When you say logo, you mean the sunset image in the header? If you overwrite the image with a new one, it should have changed. Did you find the right one? It's located here: Themes/sunset/images/titlebg.jpg

Same for you, I hope you are using 2.0 Sunset for SMF 2. I have not used or updated this one for years and my memory is not that great.

I am not sure what you are asking, maybe you can give me more details but the forum name displayed on your forum can be deleted in the index.template.php of the theme's folder.

For the one in the header image you have to find and remove this code:

Code Select Expand

<h1>', $context['page_title'] != "$context[forum_name] - Index" ? "$context[forum_name] - " : '', $context['page_title'], '</h1>

For the one at the bottom of the pages you have to find and delete this code:

Code Select Expand

<a href="' . $scripturl . '">', $context['page_title'] != "$context[forum_name] - Index" ? "$context[forum_name] <br> " : '', $context['page_title'], '</a>

and replace:

Code Select Expand

- Theme by
by

Code Select Expand

Theme by

For the login fields, they should be at the bottom of the pages. Don't you have them?

thanks for the reply go and look at the forum the top banner or header. I have removed the sunset titlebg and put my own in and have a problem with all the forum type that is up in the header
http://www.maireadcarlinfanforum.com/

Yes im using sunset-2-0-1-5 it works well and I love it as it is one of a few that you can put your own banner at the top of the forum which is great I am using it on 2 forums now and both are for singers so it is nice to be able to use our own header that one of our graphic artists make up. Maybe you could make up a new file that don't have the type in the top header that would be a great big help as I am ****** for coding

Thanks
Glen

Hi I tried to remove the type in the titlebg on the left side but it failed and this is what I got when I removed the code you said to remove

I give up

Hi,
Here is the file without the H1 tag in the header. I tested it on a forum and it works fine. Let me know if you have any problem.

[gaswigg]

it worked great thanks so much this is a great theme just need that whole top header to be clean would make life so much easier even with the other type that's up there for the forum if that could be moved else wheres so that header would be free of anything would make it so much easier to build graphic's for a forum if you didn't have to go around stuff or make your graphic's dark in that area or so on if you know what I mean. That is just a food for thought for your next theme. There are a lot of us out there that build these forums for singers and like to use our own Graphic's and such but there are not a lot of theme's that allow it.

Thanks again
Glen
