Hello. I have recently installed this forum software and the Helios theme. My users love it to pieces and they have one requested change.

On our old forum http://www.autoservltd.com/sssc the posts are seperated from one another by a space. I provided a link so you could see what I am talking about.

I would like to do this to the Helios theme as well but I have no clue where to even begin.

Any help will be appreciated.

Are some of the descriptions for the check boxes missing in the theme settings???

Which version of SMF are you running?  Is your version of the Helios theme compatible with the version of SMF you've currently running?

Can someone tell me how to go about making menu buttons that match Bloc's Helios theme? I want to add three buttons but I want them to match the theme. Thanks.

There is button-generator for Helios over at http://www.bloczone.net/button-generator/helios.php which you can use.

This is not too hard to make..but it requires adding a little code. Open up Display.template.php and find this:
                echo '
                <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
                        <tr><td class="', $message['alternate'] == 0 ? 'windowbg' : 'windowbg2', '">';

                // Show information about the poster of this message.


then just add a break or 2 right before <table> tag , like  ...<br /><table width.... If you also want to have slight border around each, I would suggest adding this to the <table> as well:  <table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border: solid 1px #606060;">

No, they should be there.

Check that you have a "Themes/Helios(?)/languages/Settings.english.php - and if you do, check that it contains approx. 20+ lines. If not, you need to exchange yours with the one in the archive. All strings are contained there.

Is it possible to remove the login option from the board index?  I'm using Mambo right now, and I've found that when users log in from the forum index they are not being bridged to the Mambo user table.

I'd like to keep the user information there once logged in, but I don't want to give the option to log in from there.  Can this be done?

bloc

Yes, by excahnging the login form with either nothing - or a small message that syas "log in from Mambo" or something. You need to find this code:
        // Otherwise they're a guest - so politely ask them to register or login.
        else
        {
                echo '
                                                        ', $txt['welcome_guest'], '<br />


                                                        <form action="', $scripturl, '?action=login2" method="post" style="margin: 3px 1ex 1px 0; text-align:left;">
                                                                <input type="text" name="user" size="10" /> <input type="password" name="passwrd" size="10" />
                                                                <select name="cookielength">
                                                                        <option value="60">', $txt['smf53'], '</option>
                                                                        <option value="1440">', $txt['smf47'], '</option>
                                                                        <option value="10080">', $txt['smf48'], '</option>
                                                                        <option value="302400">', $txt['smf49'], '</option>
                                                                        <option value="-1" selected="selected">', $txt['smf50'], '</option>
                                                                </select>
                                                                <input type="submit" value="', $txt[34], '" /><br />
                                                                ', $txt['smf52'], '
                                                        </form>';
        }


and do something like:
        // Otherwise they're a guest - so politely ask them to register or login.
        else
        {
                echo 'Please login from Mambo';
        }


That would show user-info once logged in, but not the login form when not logged in.

That's exactly what I wanted to do.  Another thing... Am I missing something?  Prior to 1.1b3, there was an option to either enable or disable News Fader.  I can't find it anywhere.  When it was disabled the news box in the helios theme didn't even appear.

To get rid of this box do I need to modify something on the template, or is it an easy setting that I'm missing?

bloc

"Enable News?"
"Show news fader on board index"

Both in admin / current theme. first is in all pages, second just on main page(the fading thing).

Installed Helios in the Mambo I'm testing to move to my production site and it is very well done. Seamless integration and looks great.

The mod doesn't change any of the template files - as far as I can see - so it should work fine. BUT - if the mod won't work on SMF 1.1beta3, then you will need to get the mod author to update it.
