Link to the theme

Deep Red

Another Colour By Request - Enjoy

The layout is of a fluid design with a minimum width of 1100px and a maximum of 1600px.

The Theme  contains features such as:-

* A fully centered menu which will automatically adjust with the width of the forum.
* Clean and sharp font which contrasts with the background for easy reading.
* Dropdown menus are Disabled buy default but can be easily turn on by one simple edit.
* Updated main page layout, with high lighted Categories.

So Enjoy, there will be more colour variations in the future.

Shortie.

To turn on the dropdown menus

Find the following in style.css

Code Select Expand


#center-menu {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
overflow: hidden;
}


And Replace with the following

Code Select Expand


#center-menu {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}

Have it as my default theme on my forum:
http://forum.kcmartz.com

Thing is, I have a mod, Hack's Park Shoutbox, and am wondering if it is compatible..

EDIT: http://www.kcmartz.com/
I don't have forum.kcmartz.com, I removed it!

Love the theme! 

Installed on SMF 2.0 RC 1-1 and I am having problems with my custom logo. It does not display when adding the logo URL in the Admin>Theme Settings area.

Can you tell me what files to edit to display the logo?

Thanks in advance.

Kind of scary :/

Kind of scary :/

   Why?

[Shortie]

Hi Ya

I have just tried this and all seems okay

so a couple of questions (Don't Shoot the messenger )

1. are you using a full url http: // somewhere / directory / logo.png

2. if you type the logo address in to the address bar of your browser does it display

3. Does the forum name get displayed

let me know how you get on

I had to get rid of it, because of bug in 2.0RC1-1, ppl could not register, now im down to 1.1.9., but when 2.0 is 100% DONE; I will re-add it!

[Shortie]

No Prob

You can get round the issue if you wanted to my sites are RC1-1

[Cyber_Angel]

Seems it was an issue with my host and not the theme.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer...

I just tryed adding a new nav bar button

Code Select Expand

$buttons = array(
'home' => array(
'title' => $txt['home'],
'href' => 'http://guildforums.netne.net',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
'forum' => array(
'title' => $txt['forum'],
'href' => 'http://guildforums.netne.net/Support/index.php',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

but now where it should say Forum its just a small blank box



am i doing somthing wrong do i need to edit a file from you skin please help

[Shortie]

If you are adding this in subs.php then the $txt['forum'] does not contain a value - I would check your default modifications.english.php or index.english.php (I think that is the file off the top of my head) they should be in the languages folder of the default theme and see if it is defined as that is where it is obtained from

If you are using Simple Portal the code should be something like the following as an example

Code Select Expand

$buttons = array(
'home' => array(
'title' => $txt['home'],
'href' => $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 3 ? $modSettings['sp_standalone_url'] : $scripturl,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
'forum' => array(
'title' => empty($txt['sp-forum']) ? 'Forum' : $txt['sp-forum'],
'href' => $scripturl . ($modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 1 ? '?action=forum' : ''),
'show' => in_array($modSettings['sp_portal_mode'], array(1, 3)),
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),


I hope this helps and let me know how you get on

Shortie

P.S. the theme pulls all this info from the default core theme so if it works in default then it should work in the Deep Red Theme

[Atty]

i looked in both of those files mentioned but neather contain any $button info

i got the subs bit thanks to this topic
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php/?topic=261880.0

the only place i can find some sort of button info is in  index.template but that make no sence to me at all

[Shortie]

The button info in the index.template file id only there to build the unordered list which creates the menu strip the content of the menu detail is taken from the area in subs as mentioned in you link so if the menu is corectly generated in the default theme then it will be generated correctly in DEEP RED so there should be no need to change the deep red theme index.template file if you are adding extra menu options

If you pop over to GraphicsMayhem.com and click the link there to the Demo site you can see it all in operation if you select the DRed theme this is purely a theme install after the site had be built so no modes to any of the theme files as this just gives me a sanity check that all is okay

If you are still having problems post here or at graphicsmayhem and I will look further into it but this weekend is a little busy for me but will have more time next week

all the best

I am getting webserver errors on this theme. Its looking for an image named "subsection.png" and the path its looking for is:

Themes/Deep_Red_2009_v1-3/images/theme-images/subsection.png

There is no image in that folder with that name. However, there IS a file called subsection.GIF in the Admin folder. Do I need to move that image to the theme-images folder and rename it or is there another image I need?

Thanks
