Smilies

[GBeam]

I have several issues... I just registered vBulletin and also just installed vbadvanced cmps and also a new style. The creator of the style has been very unhelpful, so I decided to come here.


None of my smilies or thread icon's are showing up.
In IE, I get several random boxes with a red x, indicating a missing image. But in firefox, there aren't images there or a red x box.
I have a random white space on the right side of my main navigation.


This will do it for now. I have many other issues.

If its a custom style, then im afraid u wont find much help here becos ideally the person who made ur skin wud be best suited for your problems.

- Your smilies and thread icons not showing could be image path error. Select 'style vars' and make sure all paths to images are correct.
- FF doesnt render missing images with X box, if there is an alt tag to an image it will show the text but FF doesnt render missing images with red box.
- Again ask ur style provider, u cant expect much help without demo anyway.

First, right click a broken smiley, and click 'View Image'. It'll then say what the path is meant to be and that a file cannot be loaded/doesn't exist, so either upload the smilies to said location/move them there or change the style var given path.

For two, Firefox doesn't show broken/missing images. I think it's also a config option to do so or not.

Can you for the final question post a link to your forum so I can see the error for myself?

Yeah for some reason they are directing to... "http://rcfootball.net/discussion/images/smilies/cool.gif" instead of "http://rcfootball.net/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif"

How do I find the replacement for this?

Same with post icons and polls I think, maybe another.

[cheat-master30]

Try Styles and Templates > All Style Options, then set the image vars to images/whatever rather than what's already in there. Also, check any replacement variables.

[GBeam]

The image paths? They are all set as "images/smilies" or whatever. And there aren't any replacement values.

[cheat-master30]

Okay, I might have figured it out. Go to Smilies, then Smiley Manager and then edit them. You can set the path for each smiley individually, and your import may have set it to the wrong path! So then, just edit the path for each smiley to where it should be.

Great! You are the best. Thank you so much. :)

One more question. Any idea how to change the color on these outline boxes? http://rcfootball.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4

[cheat-master30]

Do you mean the stuff with join date and what not?

Edit: Add something like this to your default style:

.pbit{
color: [whatever colour id];
}

[GBeam]

Yeah I mean the joindate and stuff.

Where do I put that in the default style?

[cheat-master30]

Styles and Templates > All CSS >Additional CSS definitions box.

[GBeam]

I added it. What did it do?

[cheat-master30]

Should have changed the colour. Try putting this in the headinclude template then:


<style type="text/css">
.pbit{
color: [whatever colour id];
border: [whatever colour];
}
</style>


Also, check if any such code is anywhere in a style or template set to the current colour.
