BurkeKnight,

I did a little edit to that button. Here it is lowered a bit.

Perfect!   Thank you.

[Bulakbol]

good work. nice theme

I thank you.

Thank you too BurkeNight.

If you want to change the background color of stickied topics, in MessageIndex.template.php find

<td class="windowbg1" valign="middle" width="42%">

and replace the class="windowbg1" with

Code Select Expand

class="windowbg', $topic['is_sticky'] ? '2' :'1', '"

If you don't mind me doing it, I will attempt to make the buttons wdm2005 asked for. I just don't want to step on anyones toes by doing that.

It may take a day or two, got a busy weekend ahead.

[SA™]

i just installed this them but lacks extra buttons for my packages. i saw x-tra_buttons.zip in the theme link but where should this zip be uploaded? in which file of the theme? i dont have much knowledge about codes and etc. just basic html.

Decompress the package to your PC and then upload the gif files via FTP to shinyblue115/images/english or shinyblue2b3/images/english folder if you are using the one for version 2.0.

[Bulakbol]

For shinyblue2b3 and  PortaMax, in index.template.php, find

Code (line 323 - 327) Select Expand

if (in_array($act, $hide_buttons))
continue;
else
echo '
<a href="', $button['href'], '">', $settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['lang_images_url'] . '/' . $act . '.gif" alt="' . $button['title'] . '" border="0" />' : $button['title'], '</a>', !empty($button['is_last']) ? '' : $context['menu_separator'];

and replace with

Code Select Expand

//-> start change PortaMx
if (in_array($act, $hide_buttons))
continue;
else
echo '
<a href="', $button['href'], '">', ($act{0} != '_' && $settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['lang_images_url'] . '/' . $act . '.gif" alt="' . $button['title'] . '" border="0" />' : $button['title']), '</a>', !empty($button['is_last']) ? '' : $context['menu_separator'];
//-> end change PortaMx */

then decompress the extra button package and add them to shinyblue2b3/images/english folder.

i already done that. so how do i make this buttons appear on top of my page align with other buttons like home, profile, etc.?

[Bulakbol]

@psynx
To add a button, let's say "arcade" button, (line 300 to line 335) add like this

Code Select Expand

// The [arcade]
// if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/arcade.gif" alt="Arcade" border="0" />' : 'Arcade'), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];


To add "Shop" button, change the "arcade" to "shop".

[psynx]

thanks JohnyB. it works ok now.

btw one more thing, how do i let this button open in a new window like 'target=_blank' , u know what i mean? when users click this button, say 'help' button it will open in an another window.

and also, i added nneonne's shout box. the shoutbox just showed up but cannot send messages. i followed nneonne's shoutbox installation instructions to other theme but doesn't work in your index.template. any idea pls? my site is www.mirc-chatters.isgreat.org

[Bulakbol]

Yup, add the target="_blank", like this.

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade" target="_blank">

Sorry, I am not too familiar with that shoutbox. I'll take a look at it when I have time.

[psynx]

nneonneo's shoutbox is working fine now in my site with shinyblue theme.

i am an avid fun of this theme 

[Bulakbol]

Cool. Good to know. Here's some tip.

Tip #1.
To enlarge the category name a bit and change the font face, edit the BoardIndex.template.php and look for

Code Select Expand

echo '
 ', $category['link'], '
replace with

Code Select Expand

echo '<span style="font-size: 18px; margin-left: 2px; font-family: Georgia;">
', $category['link'], '</span>


Tip #2.
To remove your forum name from the linktree, edit Index.template.php and look for

Code Select Expand

foreach ($context['linktree'] as $link_num => $tree)
{
// Show the | | |-[] Folders.
if (!$settings['linktree_inline'])
{
if ($link_num > 0)
echo str_repeat('<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_main.gif" alt="| " border="0" />', $link_num - 1), '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_side.gif" alt="|-" border="0" />';
replace with

foreach ($context['linktree'] as $link_num => $tree)
   if ($tree['name'] != $context['forum_name'])
   {
      // Show the | | |-[] Folders.
      if (!$settings['linktree_inline'])
      {
         if ($link_num > 1)
            echo str_repeat('<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_main.gif" alt="| " border="0" />', $link_num - 2), '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_side.gif" alt="|-" border="0" />';

Changes and additional statement are red in color.
