Upgrading from an older version of my style.

Overwrite the "yourforum.com/simpleblue" directory with the one in the 3.8.3 zip.
Upload the Language XML (THIS IS NEEDED FOR PARTS OF THE SKIN WHICH ARE CUSTOM CODED TO WORK)
Upload the Style XML and click "Allow overwrite"

If you are unsure, drop me a PM and I shall install the style for a very reasonable price.
************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Editting the Dynamic News Content Block

Go to the style manager, and then navbar template, and at the bottom of the navbar template, there is the sidebar blocks. Find and edit the:

PHP Code:


			
fcontent[0]="<b>Congratulations</b><br>Your new skin has been installed. <a href='http://parlancia.com'>Click here to visit authors site</a>";

fcontent[1]="This code is editable via your NavBar template.";

fcontent[2]="News could be put here, refer to the skin release thread for more details.</a>";

everything after the =" and before the last ";

************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Editting Content Blocks

Go to the style manager, and then navbar template, and at the bottom of the navbar template, there is the sidebar blocks. Find "" and edit the content, which you should see easily, as it is plain text and not code.

************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Update: 6th July 2009 .

Ironed out more bugs (I dunno how there are so many!)
Fixed Sidebar (I really really hope)
Fixed the "white name in profile"

Hi Mikey,

Can you please let me know where abouts the code is, for controlling the distance (white space) between individual posts, when looking at a thread in your theme.

I'd like to see how the theme would look if the posts were closer together.

Thanks!

mikey1991 · #**105** 08-23-2009, 05:14 PM

Hi Fergal,

This isn't something I've set in the theme itself, I'm not sure why the distance is between posts, but I'll research it.

Cheers,
Mikey

Thanks Mikey, please let me know when you've found it.

I use required custom profile questions at registration time.

In the usercp -> edit your details the names of those questions do not get displayed, just the fields with the answers at the top of the page under the edit password button.

There seems to be missing info or a color mismatch somewhere. This is what I see :

Hi,

Do they show up when highlighted? I currently dont have a version of this style installed on a board, I'll throw one up when I get a minute.

Cheers

popowich · #**109** 08-29-2009, 03:32 PM

No, they do not show up. It's non-existent text, not invisible text.

Thanks for checking!

-Raymond

mikey1991 · #**110** 08-29-2009, 04:26 PM

Hmm, It seems that for the profile fields, it will show the "Description" but not the "Title"... For your custom profile fields you can put something like;

Code:

<strong>Are you a bot?</strong><br />Sorry, we have to ask

in the description box..

I don't know whats causing it, but I'll fix it when I get the chance.

popowich · #**111** 08-29-2009, 04:37 PM

Works for me, many thanks!
