Helios Multicolor

[bloc]

No, the forum-logo-image option isn't used in this theme. You rather have the htmlbox on top for any images + html code.

So now we have SMF 1.1.1
Will this theme need to be updated, or will it work with SMF 1.1.1

It will work fine with 1.1.1, as that version hasn't any theme changes from 1.1 Final.

Not sure when it started happening, but my board has some issues when using helios.  On every screen except actually reading the thread, there is a border around each board name/description.  When looking at an actual thread, the border is gone.  Thoughts?

Almost forgot, using SMF 1.1.1 with helio multi 1.1 final.

I have had a slight problem. My friend has installed the theme and than installed chat. He asked me to add the tab for the chat. I have tried to do that as was suggested in one fo the topics and as I have done for my theme (different one), but it did not work. Is there some special way to do that? And how?
Thank You.

[look up]

I really like this theme a lot and I want to continue to use it but it seems to be causing some problems for my users. I have the option to show whos browsing the boards on. When a lot of people are viewing it wraps to another line for me and others but there are a few where the users will stay on one line and stretch the forum so you have to scroll from side to side. Any idea why this would happen for some and not for others. It only happens with this particular theme.

i'm having the same problem as this guy, but i didn't see where his problem was addressed in this thread.  little help?

Could they be using different browsers? I think Internet Explorer and Firefox sometimes treat wrapping differently.

you may be on to something there.  i think i only have that problem at home where i use firefox.

Helios is not really made to use that "showing members" feature, as the layout isn't working its best when stretched out.

I would suggest just turning off that for the moment, or use the "show numbers only" option.

On top of that, IE might also show it a bit differently.

that definitely fixed it.  thanks, bloc.

ok, i found the way to fix this... actually my hosting was enable Safe Mode for PHP. that y the image cant be load and some directory cant be access.

so, i just upload the themes into the Themes directory over FTP and install the themes using path to themes directory (not using package installer). and all the problem fixed...

anyway, is anyone can explain to me what is the purpose to enable the Safe Mode of PHP?

i posted this in another thread and was referred here. i am using the helios 11rc2 version with smf 1.1.2.  everything was great but now that i've installed integrated chat, i'm having some problems.

i need help repairing the index.template.php file because whenever i click to collapse the upper heading, everything disappears except for the message/image i have at the top of the page.i made the theme changes from the .xml file and everything else looks good except whatever's going on with the collapsable header and the news items aren't showing either, now that i think about it.  some of the coding in the .xml file was not in the helios theme template, so when i was supposed to "add" code "before" a string, if the string wasn't in the helios file, i added what was in the default plus the new string from the .xml file.  something's out of sync now and i don't know what it is.

you can view the file here:  http://www.bhonline.org/forums/Themes/helios11rc2/view%20index%20template

there also is no "chat" button but i saw a link earlier in this thread for creating buttons, so i'll check that out.

thanks for any help!

I need to add two more buttons to the menu ...

Can anyone help me with this ?

[1milehi]

i installed the 1.1 final version and the only file in the languages folder is "settings.english."  i was told i should use this version instead of 11rc2, since i'm now using smf 1.1.2, but is it really necessary?  that means i have to manually transfer all the files into the new theme?

you can do this with some editing in the file index.template.php...
just scroll down and seek the code for [Home],[Search],[Help], etc... button... let say u copy the code for showing calendar button, the code migh look like this:

Code Select Expand

// The [calendar]!
        if ($context['allow_calendar'])
                echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/mod/calendar.gif" alt="' . $txt['calendar24'] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt['calendar24']), '</a></td>';

paste the code at where you want the button to be (in the middle of what button, let say in the middle of HELP and SEARCH button or before logout button... you decide it.) then just replace the scripturl (in this case, replace "?action=calendar" (without quote) with the action you want. in this case, i never try with any url/link. just action with internal mod such as gallery, arcade, etc...

then change the "/mod/calendar.gif" with the path of your image button. uh... by the way, look at the second line "allow_calendar". i recently change this to refer to my command, let say arcade, etc.. but you might ignore this.

ok, u can try this... but better u ask Bloc for more and accurate info as this themes is designed by Bloc... hehehe... i just give an idea base on my experience....

ps: i'm not using the additional 4 option for button in the Themes Option.

okay.  forget all of my previous questions - i created a chat button and have it installed.  i installed the 1.1 final version and manually added all the other files to the languages folder, so that fixed a bunch of problems i was having.

now, i'd like to know how/where to change my forum greeting from "hey ____" you have x messages, etc.  i'd like to change it to something more welcoming than "hey."

thanks.

Good Morning everyone, I love this theme. I've added the buttons I need, and I only have one more thing I need to fix. After I installed this theme, TinyPortal no longer seemed to be working, is there way I can fix this, or can someone point me in the right direction? I've seen several sites that are using Helios Theme and TinyPortal (or something similar) so I hope it's an easy fix.

I'm sorta a n00b with this, but I'm in the process of learning basic CSS and PHP. Thanks everyone!

[Aegen]

NM, I got it. lol, I guess it helps if you install the correct version of the theme. I just had to get the version specifically for TinyPortal

[incadudeF]

i want to put a shoutbox on this theme. What is the best way to do it? And which mod works for your  theme?
thanks

[bloc]

Any mod will work..but you need to add the mod's required code to the theme, as all mods really.
