Shine - Professional style in black/yellow

Shine, one of my more popular themes, has been upgraded, and re-designed a bit, for 3.7.2. Shine offers you -

1. A built-in left side column
2. separated forum categories
3. Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional

LIVE DEMO

Installation Instructions -

1. Click on the "Install" button on the right of this post, then download the zip file to your computer and extract it (I put it on my desktop, it's easier to remember where I put it!).
2. Open your ftp client to your server. Go to your forum's images folder, open it, and create a styles folder.
3. Next, upload the Shine folder via FTP to your server, into the styles folder, so that your image path is images/styles/shine/buttons, for example.
4. After you've uploaded the folder, open your admin control panel on your forum, and import the xml file, by going to Styles & Templates > Download / Upload styles > Import Style XML File.
5. Click on the Browse button, locate the xml file for shine, and double-click it, so it loads in that box, then hit the Import button.

The left-side column is located in the forumhome template. Scroll down to $navbar, and just under that you'll see the commenting for the side column. The title goes in the title block, of course, and your code goes where you see Enter your code, text, image here. NOTE, this side column is for forumhome only. It will not work on every page, and I don't plan to make one that does.

You'll find a blank logo in PNG format, for easy customizing.


Enjoy!

Very strange. I looked at it on both my forums after re-importing the xml, and it works fine.


Check your forumdisplay template and forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost templates and be sure that this code is there. It is there in the xml, I just looked.

<td class="thead" width="3%">&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="thead" width="65%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
      <td class="thead" width="20%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
      <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
      <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
      <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
      <td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
      </if>

If this is correct in both templates, try clearing your browser cache, and emptying your temp files.

Hi

Here's the code in the template :

Forumdisplay :

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>
</thead>
$forumbits
</table>

Forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost :

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="35">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="120">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

Should I replace that with the one you give above ?

Thank's

[Ohiosweetheart]

Yes definitely replace it, in both templates.

replace this part only (it is identical in both templates) -

       <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
      <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
      <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
      <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
      <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">
      <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
      </if>

with this -

 
      <td class="thead" width="3%">&nbsp;</td>
      <td class="thead" width="65%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
      <td class="thead" width="20%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
      <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
      <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
      <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
      <td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
      </if>

I checked the xml in this download zip and the correct code is there.

Nice skin, downloaded to try out on my forum, thanks!

Plan to use it since I really love it although I have a quick simple question. For some reason the whos_online gif isn't showing up for a couple hacks that would normally use it. I know this is most likely a really easy fix and I've done it before but right this second I can't figure out how to fix the issue. Any help?

yes but the error still there.

strange .......... for now i uninstall this, until further checking

nice skin though

just a thought, is it possible to make it fixed rather than fluid ?

[Ohiosweetheart]

Sorry it's not working for you. I've tried to duplicate the problem and can't, so I don't know what else to do.

You would have to make it fixed.

I believe that the whos_online image for this theme is saved in .png format, rather than gif. Just looked better.

I know which hacks you're talking about. I've had to open the xml file, locate the image, and change it from .gif to .png. for it to show up. You'll need to do the same.
