ummm....   what?

These themes are themes for use in SMF only!

They are intended to be combined with the standard (unmodified) 24/7 Portal Mambo template available on mamboforge.
The 24/7 portal template must be acquired and installed on your own... it is not part of these packages.


Oh? So that settles it. I was thinking it works like the Bridge, installing it in both SMF and Mambo. Sorry, next to the bridge, this is the second thing I will have to install to SMF/Mambo. Some more time, I'll achieve some sort of mastery on these 2 products. Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Xenovanis,

thanks for the great theme - they just made my day.

One thing I noticed when using IE 6. the width of SMF component block is 1-2 pixel narrower than the rest of the page (mambo "header" and "footer")   

You can see this on your own test zone!
I can't do screen shots at the moment, just check on the right hand side the jump in the shadow just underneath the date.
Could be my IE....

FF renders this ok.

I'll look into that. I believe it does the same in Firefox, and when I tried to use full widht Mambo 'ate' the lines on the left and right.

xenovanis,

You rock man!  I use the green2 theme.  Is there a chance you will make that theme for smf? 

Maybe I can import them from the template theme?

I am sorry about that I meant

The 247portal-b-green2 theme.  The greens are darker.


xenovanis

Okay, that wouldn't be a problem. I see what I can do.

@xenovanis, can we mod the color schemes ourselves ? or do you want to keep control the template?

I would use "background-position" to shift the green gradient background gif in the CSS , getting a darker green gradient. as for the text, just look at the portal theme CSS for used green....

[edit]: position not offset... doh

I'm not sure what you mean by backgroundpostition and background gif. I'm also not sure what you mean by 'as for the text', as for the text it does already uses the css of the mambo-template...

ok, what I meant is the following.

in your CSS you have

/* The category headers, page indexes, and such things. */
.catbg
{
   font-weight: bold;
   text-transform: uppercase;
   background-color: #0066CC;
   background-image: url(images/catbg.gif);
   color: #ffffff;

the catbd.gif is a colored gradient with diffent colors for the differnt themes / white - color - black.
as the height of the cat headers is smaller than the hight of the gif, only a section is shown if you shift the gif using background position, you can display a darker part of the gradient.

This is used in rhuk planetfall to create the changing manu bullet color hover effect...

a.mainlevel:link, a.mainlevel:visited {
   background: url(../images/menu_bullet.png) no-repeat;
   vertical-align: middle;
   font-size: 11px;
   font-weight: bold;
   color: #ff6600;
   text-align: left;
   padding-left: 15px;
   height: 18px;
   margin-bottom: 1px;
}

a.mainlevel:hover {
   background-position: 0px -20px;
   text-decoration: none;
   color: #ffffff;

When hovering the background picture position is changed - there fore a differt part of the gif displayed....

I used your green theme and changed background picture position and background colors and just added

background-position: 0px -20px; to the catbg definition.

And you are are of course correct, the text colors are taken from template CSS.

(And yes, I know thI have a bug in the tables in my header - hadn't had time to fix it...)

xenovanis

Sure, no problem. You can change it anyway you want.  ;)

Thank you xenovanis,

I downloaded it but my server isn't resolving from the machine I am on so I will upload it later.


xenovanis

I've replaced the downloads in the first post with new packages:

  • /style.css: I forgot to correct the .hr color in style.css  :-[
  • /images/bar.gif: Changed the color of the bars in statistics (grey)
  • /Display.template.php: I noticed that avatars were not loading well in Display.template.php, solved by adding the Display.template.php of the classic theme.

    You can either uninstall the theme and install this one or upload the changed files from the new package to your Themes/Portalxxx directory to overwrite the old ones.
