Theme LongGreen/Red/Orange/Blue/Gray

xenovanis · August 26, 2005, 08:49:03 PM

The Longtheme series can be used wrapped with the sample_long* templates for Mambo.

Click on the thumbnail for a live preview.

Simple black mini buttons by Andrea.

These themes will only work with SMF 1.1 RC2, installation through SMFs thememanager.

Looks real nice and matches the Mambo theme well.

dtm.exe · August 26, 2005, 10:14:24 PM

Well done, great theme

I like the theme. Nice job.

Aravot · August 27, 2005, 04:38:13 AM

Nice, I like the new post icons, can you make it for PortalBlue

xenovanis · August 28, 2005, 05:09:55 PM

Thanks for the nice comments

I've updated the first post with four more colors. Maybe you can use those icons, Avarot.

JayBachatero · August 28, 2005, 08:25:19 PM

Nice. All the colors look hot.

Aravot · August 28, 2005, 09:36:33 PM

Nice work Xenovanis, are those mambo templates available in dynamic width, and how did you make the thumbnail images clickable.

Kindred · August 29, 2005, 07:59:06 AM

thumbnails...

Not for as far as I know.

Hi xenovanis ,
Kudos for all the templates. I just installed the Long Orange. When I display the forum, my forum does not expand all to way to the right column. I checked in mambo cpanel that there are not anything to show with forum in right.

here I have a missing image I think.

One more thing.
I did a view source here:

Is it normal to have an HTML headere again in the middle of the page?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No, it's a template thing. It doesn't hide the right column if there are no modules published. Try this solution:

That is because this theme is not for 1.0.5. For now, it works in 1.1 Beta 3 Public, I need to update them for 1.1 RC1.

Well, that would be the header of the SMF theme. It is in the middle of the page because your forum is wrapped and therefore is "in the middle" of the page. I think Kindred made a post somewhere in this board about what you can safely remove.

erisen · October 23, 2005, 12:20:25 AM

Hey,
About the missing images, I did the following change in the
Display.template.php file:

find:
<td align="left" valign="middle"><a href="', $message['href'], '"><img src="', $message['icon_url'] . '" alt="" border="0" /></a></td>

replace with:

<td align="left" valign="middle"><a href="', $message['href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'].'/post/'.$message['icon'] . '.gif'. '" alt="" border="0" /></a></td>

I realized than, it's pretty much the same thin that other 1.0.5 templates have in the same place. SMF is so much fun to work with

Also, the link you have provided me with, has helped me hide the right column, thank for that.

PopLife · October 23, 2005, 08:22:36 AM

Hi Xenovanis, I really love these themes! How much work would be involved into converting them into stand-alone SMF themes?

xenovanis · October 23, 2005, 09:17:43 AM

Thanks. Well, now it looks like this standalone:

http://testzone.xenovanis.nl/forum/index.php?theme=20

css needs to be adjusted
images need to be adjusted (and I don't have the original images for the catbg)
Layout needs some tweaking, like adding a loginbox etc

Right now I have enough trouble finding time to upgrade my current themes, but if you want to, feel free

McLeod5000 · October 24, 2005, 05:15:37 AM

Does anyone has problems displaying this in Opera? In Opera 8.50 everything appears centered. In Firefox everything is shown just fine. Any ideas what I need to do?

hxxp:img456.imageshack.us/my.php?image=centered1ih.jpg [nonactive]

I know this is caused by the Mambo template, but I didn't know where else I could have asked.

BTW: This is SMF 1.1 RC1.

TheAnt · November 19, 2005, 05:50:11 AM

Hi

I think this is a simple, clean, very nice theme. With a little css changing I'm going to use the LongGreen one for my next site hxxp:www.alleradici.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,35/ [nonactive]. Just a question, ho can I add the login form? without it is useless for me.

Thanks a lot
A.

Kindred · November 19, 2005, 07:15:13 AM

what do you mean, add the login form?

if you mean the login module... then just publish it in mambo...

TheAnt · November 19, 2005, 07:18:11 AM

O no, in the longgreen theme there is not the form to login

Kindred · November 19, 2005, 07:24:32 AM

again.... I'm not sure what you are talking about?

You mean there is not a MENU ITEM in the SMF menu that links to the login form?

Remember, this theme is intended to be used while wrapped in mambo... which means the mod_smf_login should always be available and no additional forms are needed.

TheAnt · November 19, 2005, 07:31:29 AM

Yes, I know. Silply I want the forum login form too because I want to use the joomla layout without any module, so I can use the entire width.

You can also try refreshing this page.

nonz · January 02, 2006, 06:52:17 PM

This theme is real nice.
I tried this theme with the new 1.1 RC2, and when I get to topic index in the board there is a problem.
it's like I'm getting a diffrenet theme.
it doesn't happen in the 1.1RC1
is there a way to fix this ?

I've noticed the same thing happened to the Portalgreen line themes

thanks

inon

xenovanis · January 02, 2006, 06:59:04 PM

Yeah, that's probably because I haven't updated it for 1.1RC2 yet.

nonz · January 09, 2006, 03:52:28 AM

Does anyone know when or if there will be a RC2 version for this theme ?

xenovanis · January 10, 2006, 03:23:06 PM

Updated for 1.1 RC2, see first post for download link. Please let me know if anything fails, as I had no possibility to test them properly.

nonz · January 10, 2006, 05:30:48 PM

Thanks, I will

nonz · January 11, 2006, 08:14:32 PM

Hi,

I started to Test the RC2 version of this theme, and I found a problem on the topic index (right after I enter a board).
I'll be happy to provide screenshots if you'll need any.

inon

Kindred · January 12, 2006, 01:42:30 AM

well, if not screenshots, a description of the problem! saying "I found a problem" is useless... saying, "I found a problem and this is what it is..." is useful.

nonz · January 12, 2006, 10:54:58 AM

I know, I know - you're right, I wasn't clear enough (or at all).
the problem I found is in the layout of the theme in the Topic list of a board.

here is the screenshot

inon

Kindred · January 12, 2006, 12:55:23 PM

hmmm... what's wrong with this? it looks fine to me.

nonz · January 12, 2006, 05:10:49 PM

The problem is in the display of the header in this area
the area marked in the following screenshot:

should be be with green backround and white fonts as in the rest of the theme.
and the other display differences in the lower part

for example here is the previous version on the SMF1.1RC1 version.

inon

cylonite · February 25, 2006, 12:15:52 AM

^^ i too have the same problem. Both with the long green and portal green themes for SMF 1.1rc2. When you click on a forum, the top and bottom images go away, leaving only the bare part of the forum.
once you click the topic link, they appear back again.
could you please solve this problem. cos these are simply great themes

Want a link to look at?

I just updated to Joomla 1.08 and SMF 1.1RC2 - now see what happened to my template:

Whats wrong here? I am a little bit stucked here.

I just realized that my template was a 1.1 beta 3 template. Now i updated to longgray 1.1 RC2 - but no luck. The template still looks weird. Any help?
Thnx.

Noonz,

QuoteThe problem is in the display of the header in this area
the area marked in the following screenshot:

Not 100% sure but it sure looks like something's wrong with the css in your new RC2 templatecss. Check for differences with the RC1.

I am having the same problem with another theme (or template) I have. I'll check and let you know, eventually.

phil_roy · March 22, 2006, 07:33:22 AM

Hi all,

Just about to migrate a site from Joomla/phpBB to SMF and the altered templates are just great.

Just wondered, the altered templates means I seem to have lost the links "Show unread posts since last visit." and "Show new replies to your posts." which I know I will use myself constantly. Is there any way to add them back in?...I'm fairly sure it's not something I've switched off, but happy to be corrected.

I think what I want to do is have those two links appear at the top of the board and have tracked down where I need to put the code...in the "BoardIndex.template.php" file and in the code (about line 12) where it says...

Quote<td valign="bottom">', theme_linktree(), '</td>

I want the links to be to the right of that....but what file has the code in that I need to put in there?

Phil

Kindred · March 22, 2006, 08:27:43 AM

1- those links exist in the smf-joomla login module (mod_smf_login)
2- why would you add them into the linktree function??? just add them before or after the call to linktree.

something like this might work...
<td valign="bottom">', theme_linktree(), '</td><td align="right">SHOW LINKS HERE</td>

phil_roy · March 22, 2006, 02:23:55 PM

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed (I wasn't wanting to add them as a function). I've hacked the login module for it to be a horizontal login and dropped that code, so forgot that it included the necessary coding...I'll go back to the original module and nab the code.

Phil

MadPax · March 22, 2006, 10:41:14 PM

Dang!

This thing is Killing me!

Noonz's problem is somewhere in the display.template.php I guess because that's where the Pages: [xx] appear.

But that's only true for when you're already reading the topic. If you are looking at the the boards' post listing the pages: part of the header is coded in another part of the script or even file and I can't find it Dang dang dang!

Already took care of the background problem though. It was indeed a css thing .catbg3 was being used from the default template. The long xxx templates' css must have this style defined as well.

Hope this helps

MadPax · March 23, 2006, 12:31:10 AM

Hello Xenovanis are you there?

MadPax · April 23, 2006, 07:53:05 AM

OK stay tuned I got this almost nailed down. It's got to do with messageindex.template.php.

MadPax · April 24, 2006, 07:37:23 AM

Done!

Here it is.

You must have a template specific message.template.php for your smf topics list to look ok. I've made the necessary alterations for the template to show ok but I do not have upload permissions here.

What shall I do to give other users the possibility to check this out?

I am trying to add a link to the menu (home, search, logout, i.e.) for my shop. I thought this was gonna be an easy task since I didn't need to add a button but everytime I make a change to the index.template I get a parse error.

Can anyone tell me what code I need to add to the template and where to add a link to the shop. Thanks in advance.

Bogie · June 08, 2006, 01:37:01 AM

I continued to research after posting this thread and although nothing really fit my theme that I found, with a little experimentation I found the correct way to do it. This is for anyone using the LongBlue theme that has the same question I did.

Here's the modifications I made to index.template.php to add [shop] and [bank] links:

Quote// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.

echo '

<a href="', $scripturl, '">',$txt[103],'</a>
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">',$txt[119],'</a>';

// How about the [search] button?
if ($context['allow_search'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">',$txt[182],'</a>';

// Is the user allowed to administrate at all? ([admin])
if ($context['allow_admin'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=admin">',$txt[2],'</a>';

// Edit Profile... [profile]
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile">',$txt[467],'</a>';

// How about the [bank] button?
      echo '
                        <a href="http://www.congressionalsimulation.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&?action=shop;do=bank">', (Bank), '</a>';

// How about the [shop] button?
      echo '
                        <a href="http://www.congressionalsimulation.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&action=shop">', (Shop), '</a>';

// The [calendar]!
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar">',$txt['calendar24'],'</a>';

// If the user is a guest, show [login] and [register] buttons.
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">',$txt[97],'</a>';
}
// Otherwise, they might want to [logout]...
else
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=logout;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">', $txt[108], '</a>';

Hope this helps someone else.

Kindred · June 08, 2006, 02:46:58 AM

No wonder you were getting parse errors.... you actually will continue to get them with the code that you just pasted.... if not parse errors, worse ones down the road.

this should actually be:

Code Select


      // How about the [bank] button?
              echo '
                        <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop;do=bank">', $txt[bank], '</a>';                       
                                
        // How about the [shop] button?
              echo '
                        <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop">', $txt[shop], '</a>';

where you have added the $txt[bank] and $txt[shop] definitions into modifications.english.php

or, if you really want to hard code the text:

Code Select


      // How about the [bank] button?
              echo '
                        <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop;do=bank"> (BANK) </a>';                       
                                
        // How about the [shop] button?
              echo '
                        <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop"> (SHOP) </a>';

Would anyone have these themes available to download for RC2?
Specifically, longblue

Main site doesn't seem to be up/exist anymore :/

pyko · October 17, 2006, 08:26:59 PM

hmm, i've updated my smf to 1.1RC3 - and then realised that my longBlue is still 1.1RC2 - is that alright? everything seems to still work.

Or is there an update for 1.1RC3?
thanks!

mpetrie · December 25, 2006, 11:25:27 AM

I'm now on SMF 1.1.1 and the theme still works, but with an unwanted space between each board title bar and the list of boards in the group. I guess this is a problem with either the css with the updated board index template.

Xenovanis, are you going to do an "official" SMF 1.1.x and Joomla 1.0.xx (as of today 1.0.12) update to the themes?

OK, update. I've fixed the unwanted spaces. I'd post a picture here, but there's no option to do so. However, if you see a gap above the grey bands that group each set of boards and the boards from the previous group; or above the key for posts read and unread icons, or between that and the Info Centre, the fix is to remove two <br /> tags:

To fix gaps above board titles find the following code and remove the <br /> in the last line. Do not delete the '; following the <br />:

Code Select


                                if (!empty($board['last_post']['id']))

                                        echo '
                        ', $board['last_post']['time'], '<br />
                        ', $board['last_post']['link'], ' <br />
                        ', $txt[525], ' ', $board['last_post']['member']['link'];

                                echo '
                </td>
        </tr>';
                        }
                }

                echo '
</table></div>
<br />';

To fix gap above Info Centre find this code block and remove the <br /> on the third line:

Code Select


        // Here's where the "Info Center" starts...
        echo '
<br />
<div class="tborder"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
        <tr class="catbg">
                <td align="center" colspan="2">', $txt[685], '</td>
        </tr>';
