Loving the theme!

Just a silly question - how can the Googlebots and Spiders be visible again, also users online today

You need to add the code manually in BoardIndex.template.php. Check the mod docs for what code is needed.

If you go to Bloc's homepage - he has a button generator!   and the theme allows easy and clean button additions.

The you will need to look at the code in index.template and copy one of them, modifying for your own needs.

You need to open index.template.php and find this line:
        // How about the [search] button?


then, before that line, insert something like:
                echo '<td><a href="YOUR_LINK">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/NAME_OF_IMAGE_FILE" alt="JUST_THE_NAME" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : 'JUST_THE_NAME'), '</a></td>';


Just insert the things in uppercase with your actual button info. And if you need more buttons just re-use that code bit as many times you need. Beware that space might be tight though, since it will NOT wrap - its a table with just columns after all. :)

Hello Bloc!

I really love this theme. Thanks a lot for your work.

The only problem that I've got with it is that my users (and I) are unable easely distingish to recognize links in the articles as the colors and style isn't that different from normal text. An example would be a text where it says "Here you can find the newest videos" and only the word "here" is linked to another site.

Do you have a tip what change might make sense? I already thought of changing the links's css styles to bold but I don't want to lose the function in the mains sheme where linked titles of sub-forums with new articles are set in bold and the others in normal.

Thanks a lot,
Sven

Try to open style.css and change the color defined in a:link, a:visited and a:hover. The first is all links, second links you been to, and third hovering over them.

Well yes, I know that, thanks. The problem is that I don't really have an idea of what changes look good as design isn't my favour. And I thought that if you think that other link colors and/or style would look better it would have been integrated in the basic theme so that I just would need to use future versions and others would profit of it as well.

Thanks,

ah, I see. I will look on the colors and maybe saturate them more.

hey bloc.. i love your work..

my site is http://www.modifiedsociety.com [nofollow]
forum http://www.modifiedsociety.com/forum [nofollow]

im using the helios multi forum with the morkal portal.  I would love to change it tp.  how can i replace morkal portal with tp with out wiping any data. 
I really like the tiny portal used on http://www.misfitmafia.com/smf/index.php [nofollow]

your help is really appreciated! 8)

bloc

I am afraid there is no easy way to convert exisiting data - you will need to copy over every article etc. manually.

Once TP has reached 1.0 and having more modules I will see if converters can be made. Until then, its only possible manually.

I have added a custom logo that is 175 pixels high. This causes the avatar and the stats to the left of it to start too low. What do I need to change in the index.template to make it start at the same height as the logo no matter the size? Here is a screen cap to show what I mean.

Thanks.

the only way ou can sort it is centering the avata and the text vertically or make a smaller logo

How do I center it? I am not fluent in this php code by any stretch. If you can tell me where to add the code I can do it and would be extremely appreciative.
