Helios Multicolor

[ScottDB]

Thanks for the response. Since I have posted this I have upgraded to 2.0 rc1.2. Is the helios theme compatible with this version. Thought I saw that it wasn't just thought I would make sure while I was here. Really liked the theme and would like to have it back on my site.

[Kindred]

last I heard, Helios is not yet compatible with 2.0

[bloc]

No, its not I am afraid.

Since the code is so old and using only tables I plan will re-write it and include it into a theme system I am working on.

[Antechinus]

It would render a lot faster with a bit of rearrangement and a few sprites. This new theme system sounds interesting, by the way. Feel free to drag me in if I can help in any way.

Exactly Helios is one such theme that could benefit from sprites.

Could you please help me out?

Hi Bloc,

First, I and everyone registering at my site love the Helios template. They love that everyone has the same thing but with color choices.

Anyways, my problem is that I have uploaded AjaxChat intergration 3.2.1 and the SMF Media Gallery 2.0. The buttons show up find in the Babylon default theme, but I have no idea how to add the buttons on Helios. I have been searching through help forums all day, trying to find the answer, and reading php tutorials but  I simply do not know how to add these buttons.

Could you help me, maybe point me in the right direction?

Try the link from page 3
I think where you add the image is in the "current theme" in your admin panel.

Awsome theme.  I need to create a couple of new buttons but not sure what font you used for the buttons.

Hi!
I installed this beautiful theme and everything works great in all browsers except for IE6. Sees only the flash banner and a black background.

Solved.
Settings of the current theme / topbar/ changed HTML code:

<div align="center"> <object classid = "clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase = "hxxp: download.macromedia.com [nofollow] / pub / shockwave / cabs / flash / swflash.cab [nofollow] # version = 7,0,19,0 [nonactive] "width =" 970 "height =" 270 "title =" animated ">
        <param name="movie" value="p.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <embed src = "p.swf" quality = "high" pluginspage = "hxxp: www.macromedia.com [nofollow] / go / getflashplayer [nonactive]" type = "application / x-shockwave-flash" width = "970" height = "270"> </ embed>

Bold part of the code is left.

Hi there

I'm using SMF 1.1.10 and Helios Multi (on red, doubt that matters though)

I have tried to install 2 mods that don't seem to want to install 100%
The first one:

Tiny Portal
"Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that"
The fault:
7.     Execute Modification     ./index.php     Test failed

2nd one:
Simple Awards System (I have posted in this mod as well for help)
"Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommende.. bla bla bla"
The problem is on:
3.     Execute Modification     ./Themes/default/Display.template.php     Test failed

Any ideas?  I have seen a site using Helios as well as Tiny Portal (or something similar, presuming its TP).

Any help please?

[Kindred]

on 1.1.x, with **ANY** theme other than the default, you will have to manually install mods.
mods only install into the default theme.
Also, a failure just means that another mod has alreayd modified that code, so you will have to manually install that portion.

[Beadan]

Thanks Kindred... I'll have a look.

Love this theme.  At the top box (under the color chooser) there is a large black space.  I want to put a logo in there.  How do I do that?  I tried putting my logo URL in the option section where is says to put logo url, but nothing happens...not sure where or what that logo is referring to.  Any help?  Thank you!

EDIT:  Figured it out.  There are two places that ask for logo.  the one on top works

[bloc]

This was left out from Helios..but the option is still in the settings template. I figured as you could use HTML textfields that might be better than a single logo link.

[Road Rash Jr.]

Hey Bloc are you going to do this theme to work with SMF 2.0 RC2 ?
I like the looks

[Road Rash Jr.]

Thanks, any time line on a release?

[bloc]

I hope to have Helios out before Christmas, as one of several themes to be updated. The reason it takes so long, is that I won't do just simple conversions - many of my older themes are heavily table-based, and won't transfer well using the default theme in SMF 2.0 RC2.

So they are total rewrites, but with just minor changes in graphics.

Though I haven't decided quite yet, I like to also release them as mods, installed through package manager into the Themes directory. It will allow people to update Helios just by checking the added package server.

Sounds good.

Thanks for any help.
