feel free to add your windowbg styles to the maincolorcss of your choice! The maincolorcss files are loaded after the styles.css. Which means settings in the maincolorcss will overwrite the styles.css settings.

First - this is a beautiful theme and I thank you for such amazing work.

My question is this - I want to add some more buttons to the menu (I have a gallery mod for my members).  I found the section in index.template.php for the menu buttons and added the following:


// the [SMF Gallery] button
   if ($context['allow_smfgallery_view'])
      echo ($current_action == 'gallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '<td class="maintab_off_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? 'active_back' : 'off_back' , '">
               <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">' , $txt['Pics']  , '</a>
            </td>' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $$last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '<td class="maintab_off_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>';

The text for the button doesn't show.  I noticed in all of the other menu buttons you had a number for the $txt.  I'm a bit of a newb at php and websites (though I love SMF - very user friendly to setup), and I was wondering if you could explain how to get the text for the button like the other menu buttons in your template.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

quick addition - with that code, if I chose one of the numbers from your other buttons, such as 331 for Members, the button shows that text and links to the gallery w/out issue.  I just need to know how to make it say "Gallery" or "Pics" in the same manner that the other menu buttons do.

Thanks!

replace ' , $txt['Pics']  , '
with Gallery or whatever

$txt[] are pulled from language files

Code:

' , $txt['Pics']  , '

with
Code:

Gallery

or whatever

$txt[] are pulled from language files

absolutely right!

you could also define the text to load in the language file of the theme.
Themes/wow-dk/languages/Modifications.YOUR_LANGUEGE.php

Modifications.YOUR_LANGUEGE.php = i.e. Modifications.english.php

in your case i.e. add:
$txt['Pics'] = 'Gallery';

Panic - that worked great and fixed the issue I had.  Thank you for the quick response.

My next question is, I want to add a new button to the top menu that takes the user to another web site.  I'd like the button to mimic what is already there.  I have no idea what that code should look like.  It's not a link to another page on my site, but a link to a completely different site.  What would the code have to be in index.template.php to add a menu button that looks just like yours, but links to a different location?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Ok I read it somewhere before but for the life of me cannot find it... all my links after they've been clicked stay white... how can I fix this so even after numerous click they stay the standard orange color... ive seen this fixed on other users forums... can you please tell me where to look exactly and what to change / add... I'm using the default orc look of this theme if that matters...

look into the index.template.php (near bottom) for the tab section ans add:
// the [EXTRA] button
echo '
<td class="maintab_off_first">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_off_back">
<a href="http://www.YOUR_LINK.com">TAB TEXT</a>
</td>
<td class="maintab_off_last">&nbsp;</td>';

Thanks Giddeaon!

blue, purple are the standard colors used for link styles some browsers use by default if no others are defined in the css.

solution:
define a:visited or simply add it to the link definition

I do know some simple coding and one would think I should know this but I dont.. I know youve already done a great deal to help me especially with that mod thing and for that I'm eternally grateful... but if you could please help me with this I'd be even more grateful... no matter what I do I somehow manage to fudge this up even more lol...

Either change the a:visited, a:hover color to match the a:link color, or put all three on one line.

Example:

Quote/* Normal, standard links. */
a:link
{
   color: #1E90FF;
   text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited, a:hover
{
   color: #1E90FF;
   text-decoration: underline;
}

Th that worked like a charm... I checked the example you had and thats a pretty blue but it doesnt go well with the theme so I set it to the default orange color... but I do like that blue color now I'm at a x-roads hehe... but ya that worked just great so thx CT ;-)

This is a great theme!

I was tasked with creating a website and forum for my WoW guild, and this was perfect!

The only problem I am having is with alternating posts! The colors are the same, so it can be difficult to detect when a post comes from the next author.

Here is where I think I need to look:

Quote/* Alternating backgrounds for posts, and several other sections of the forum. */

.windowbg

{

   color: #fff;

   background-color: #101010;

}

.windowbg2

{

   color: #fff;

   background-color: #101010;

}



.windowbg_s

{

   color: #fff;

   background-color: #181818;

}



.windowbg2_s

{

   color: #fff;

   background-color: #181818;

}


I have tried changing

.windowbg

{

   color: #fff;

   background-color: #666666;

}

to

.windowbg

{

   color: #fff;

   background-color: #101010;

}

...but several other areas of the forum also change to #666666, including the odd number posts, which is a desired effect. However, the entire post isn't changed (member name, etc), just the area where they have typed text:



Any ideas on how I can change only the alernating posts colors and nothing else?

I would try to do this myself but I dont know what button generator you used... anyway panic I was wondering if you could please make me a button that fits this theme to say Post Raid... kinda like the Post Event calander button but one that says Post Raid instead of Post Event... Thx... you should still have my email if not lemme know al I will PM it to you... Thx ;-)

Hi,

you are right!  Changing the color of the postings background will also change the colors of other areas.
If you don't want this to happen you need to change some template files.

If you don't care you have two options:
First you could cange "Posters information position" in admin - current theme from default to left.
Now the color of entire post is changed.

Second:
If you want the posters information on top of each post you have to change the following code in the maincolorcss files:

.poster_info
{
color: #fff;
background: #000 url(.././images/poster_info.gif);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

.poster_info2
{
color: #fff;
background: #000 url(.././images/poster_info2.gif);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}

No button generator used...

fire up your Photoshop (or grafic programm of you choice) and change the button. The needed font is available at the dl-page of the theme (in the german buttons package). Don't have time this week, sorry.
