EG you are missing a theme_info.xml, and your zip file has extra folders that are empty ;)

OK, Im going to be thick here... Ive searched the forum, and even tho Ive found a few theme_info.xml completed, and references everywhere saying ALL themes should haev one, nowhere can I find exactly what details are needed in it.

And, ive double and triple checked the zip file and am a bit confused why you say there are extra empty folders :-\

Lorelei, the theme isnt loading properly for you because somehow youre doubling up the path to the theme.  (forum/Themes/Imladris) is there twice...

EG - check out the one that's included in the default theme for info about theme_info.xml

Basically, you add in information about the theme, such as the author (you), the name of a thumbnail to use as a preview for that image and some details describing what the theme is about...

Miraenda - yes, I have considered that. It's really just a matter of finding the time to play with some ideas. I am planning to put something like that in there soon, but want to have SMF figure out where you're currently at and send you back there (for the most part), which takes a little bit of extra coding. I am working on it though.

But it appears all white with no graphics...

There's none in the default theme; check the classic theme.

You need to double-check things... You left some code in index.template.php from a certain llamas mod, which was generating all kinds of "undefined index" errors...

good looking theme I modded it a little for my site.

In the process or modding it I noticed about 10 hard links to your site pulling images off it instead of the theme directory.  Most of those are in the CSS file but a few are in the main php file.  You might want to change those unless you want others using your site bandwidth :)

EG

thanks for pointing those things out!

still new to making the themes available to anyone .. not just our forum

Hadnt realised that url(images/ works just as well as url(http://www  LOL!  something new Ive learnt!

boy this thing is a great learning experience!

ive uploaded a fresh zip file now

Zip file is corrupt.. Error! 

Pathfinder

Could be caused by and out-of-date WinZip version for either the packing or unpacking.

I love this theme, it's great :)  But I can't download it.  The zip says it's corrupted, that's after it stalled out a bunch of times :(


xenovanis

Try WinAce, I could open the package with it.  ;)

I've been playing around with this template, trying to get a feel for them in general.  I'm such a n00b when it comes to template tweaking.. however, I've come across a bit of a problem.

Generally I use Firefox for my browsing pleasure.. but I was double checking things in IE for compatibility.. and there seems to be an alignment issue with IE.

The information boxes [user info, news box, key stats] seem to be swung to the left in IE, whereas in Firefox, they're nicely centered.

Like I said I have been playing with the code.. modifying, customising.. whatever, but I don't recall changing anything that should affect that.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

PS - ..my apologies if this is in the wrong spot. :-\

EG

I beleive that is a general problem with IE and the boxes placement.

Somewhere on here theres a topic about that exactly.

Sinnerella

I shall try to find it then, thanks for helping out. :D

What be up with the red X's on the post screen? Can they be fixed? looks like missing BBC buttons, however they all seem to be there.

EG

if you right click on the x, can you tell me what it's looking for ???

I dont have that problem my end :-\
