Yabb SE Next Gen

Support & Comments

Did you like this theme?

For SMF 2.0+ only!
This theme is a contribution to the Classic Yabb SE theme. The theme has been enhanced with new buttons, new images etc, but is still keeping the Yabb SE look.

The theme does not use image buttons, but a mix of buttons and text. This means all languages will work out of the box for this theme.

Most buttons in the theme can be shown in 3 ways - as text buttons, as text and image buttons and finally as just buttons.
You change the look by going to Admin -> Current theme -> "Show buttons as images instead of text:"

If you are adding new buttons via mods or similar, you can add buttonfaces by running the button creation through the template_button_strip() function. You then also need to add the name of the new button in the function.

You are allowed to copy this theme as base for other SMF themes where you want to use borders. You are also allowed to use all images from the theme in other SMF themes.

30th November 2011
+ Added SMF 2.1 style drop down menu

Excellent! -- good work bro'

Linda.V · February 05, 2011, 04:15:22 PM

Yes excellent, also one of my favo themes! Thanks

Akyhne · February 05, 2011, 09:23:05 PM

Thanks! It took quite a while to make this theme. It needed quite a lot of .css changes to make the theme work with borders.

Akyhne · February 08, 2011, 10:35:02 PM

Updated a few images in the theme and finalized the 3 ways to show buttons (see first post).

Very nice!

Thanks for this

mrselnombre · June 12, 2011, 04:33:50 PM

Thank you so much. I love the classic look!

mrselnombre · June 12, 2011, 05:03:46 PM

Is it possible to remove the search from the top, and take the user and related info over to the right? SO it looks even more classic?

Akyhne · June 12, 2011, 07:54:02 PM

Sure, if you have the skills and the time.

I believe one of the customizers is working on a Yabb SE Classic theme that is 100% the old style.

yakyakyak · June 13, 2011, 03:56:39 AM

very nice theme this and from recent work with it and mods in 2.0 edits have proved unnecessary as opposed to other themes alongside that have required many

Akyhne · June 18, 2011, 04:06:11 PM

You're welcome

Brings back the days of YABB SE

(damn I was so young then...)

nightwulf · June 30, 2011, 02:26:54 AM

I'm getting a ton of identical errors:

8: Undefined variable: key
File: /var/www/html/smf/Themes/Yabb_SE_Next_Gen_SMF2/Themes.template.php (pick sub template - eval?)
Line: 709

Any ideas? Any other information I need to provide? Thanks in advance.

Akyhne · June 30, 2011, 05:09:06 AM

Fixed. You don't need to upload the whole theme, just replace the Themes.template.php

nightwulf · June 30, 2011, 01:29:52 PM

That was quick?!

Replaced just Themes.template.php and the error appears to be gone. Thanks very much!

[Lucien] · July 07, 2011, 04:47:17 PM

Great theme

, but is seems that Simpleportal is not working correct, i think it's in the portal.css but i'm not sure..

Akyhne · July 07, 2011, 06:18:04 PM

Link?

Linda.V · September 17, 2011, 01:33:30 PM

Hello Akyhne,

I have Simple Portal on my forum and as you can see on the picture there is something not oké on the leftside on the block. How can I make this please?
I also installed the following but no change.
Copy the included file "portal.css" to "./Themes/yourtheme/css".
Copy the included file "portal_rtl.css" to "./Themes/yourtheme/css".
Copy the included file "portal.js" to "./Themes/yourtheme/scripts".

Akyhne · September 17, 2011, 03:46:24 PM

What snapshot?

Linda.V · September 18, 2011, 04:22:28 AM

Hello Akyhne,

Here the link to my > Testforum

Akyhne · September 18, 2011, 05:28:23 AM

I see your snapshot now. Put this in your index.css file:

Code Select

/* Simple Portal */
h4.catbg span.left, h4.catbg2 span.left, h3.catbg span.left, h3.catbg2 span.left, .table_list tbody.header td span.left, h3.titlebg span.left
{
	background: none !important;
}
div.sp_block, div.sp_content_padding
{
	border-left: 1px solid #6e94b7;
	border-right: 1px solid #6e94b7;
}
#sp_left div.windowbg span.topslice, #sp_right div.windowbg span.topslice, #sp_center  div.windowbg span.topslice,

Linda.V · September 18, 2011, 08:22:25 AM

Yesss... fine now, thx Akyhne

metoyou · October 02, 2011, 01:02:44 AM

I have a problem that i have not found it in Classic Theme 1.1.x

the problem is

if someone makes a post and includes a huge photo in it, there is a scroll bar on the bottom of the image, rather than in the browser. The table doesnt expand, so you have to go to the bottom of the picture to to scroll left and right, which is a bit of an inconvenience.

Could you please help me to solve ?? Sorry about my poor English

vegitaboss · October 02, 2011, 02:23:01 AM

Very good looking one...Thanks

cyclotronic · November 05, 2011, 07:38:41 PM

Great theme. I just upgraded a site from 1.1.X to 2.0.1 and the old Yabb theme totally broke. This is a good upgrade.

However, I think I found a bug. There is a setting for a 'slogan' that if set, is supposed to replace the SMF logo at top-left. When I set it, the text appears to the left of the search box instead.

Also, if you could point me in the direction of which file to edit to remove the quotation-mark image inside quote blocks of text, I'd appreciate it. It would also be nice if this was a setting one could turn on or off with a checkbox.

Akyhne · November 05, 2011, 08:40:49 PM

There could be settings for many things in a theme. Many forum admins are changing the header anyway to suit their needs. We designers can't guess how people want it in advance.

Btw, there will soon be an official Yabb SE (2.0) available. Almost the same as the old Yabb, but with SMF 2 look.

It's a .css thing. Look in index.css for:

Code Select

blockquote.bbc_standard_quote, blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote {
    background: url("../images/theme/quote.png") no-repeat scroll 0.1em 0.1em transparent;

cyclotronic · November 05, 2011, 09:01:53 PM

Thanks! Any thought on that possible bug with the slogan setting?

Akyhne · November 05, 2011, 09:06:18 PM

It's not a bug.

cyclotronic · November 05, 2011, 09:15:01 PM

"Add your own text for a slogan here. It will replace the SMF logo."

I set it to "TEST". A partial screenshot is attached.

Akyhne · November 05, 2011, 09:21:05 PM

That's a standard SMF text. I'm not going to remove it, retranslate it or change the way it works. If you want to build a custom header, do like other people do; change it.
If you need help with it, ask in the G&T board:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=34.0

cyclotronic · November 05, 2011, 09:29:59 PM

OK, then the bug is with the standard text. No big deal, I'll swap out the logo myself. Thanks for your help.

Yesss... I'm looking forward to it and thanks already in advance for the work on it.

Akyhne · November 30, 2011, 04:54:00 PM

This theme has been moved to my own theme site (read first post).

jeanineh · October 29, 2012, 02:15:12 PM

Hi, I just had this installed last night and I would like to change the text color of the categories on the index page. I know you do this in the index.css section but not being familiar with doing this I thought you might give me an idea of just where to look. It would probably take me forever to finally find it. Would appreciate the help.....Thanks

Akyhne · October 29, 2012, 02:53:29 PM

With Firefox and Firebug, it's a simple click to figure out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KdNRZS-uSg

Add something like

Code Select

td.catbg a:link, td.catbg a:visited
{
	color: red;
}

VerlaKay · November 20, 2022, 06:16:45 AM

I have been beating my head on my desktop for over a week now without success, trying to find a way to replace the SMF logo on the top left header of my forum with my creations logo. When I use the Admin area of the theme, my logo is inserted below the header, instead of replacing the SMF logo. (See image below.) I have tried replacing the yabb.smf.logo.png image via SiteGround, but that didn't work either. I am NOT computer savvy and am terrified of breaking my forum if I start mucking around in the codes. Help, please?
