Thank you

Hi carcruisenw,

You should actually ask for support in the mod's support thread for this and without any info (link to mod and link to the problem page on your board) it's hard to even try to see what's going on.

EDIT:
Also .. if I play Sherlock Holmes a bit I notice absolutely no problem on your games quick jump menu

@ carcruisenw,

This YOU? As it is not much help when you can't be bothered to link to a problem....

http://www.carcruisenorthwest.co.uk/forum/index.php

If so - You have other problems as in the picture - As for the "Broken forum Header" - There is a fix posted here somewhere for that. And you have to remove the "LOGO" link and not just delete the logo picture from the header.

Yes still a lot to be done... but trying to fix one section at a time... But the colour of this box is driving me mad haha

EDIT: Just noticed if your not logged in the box if fine, When you log in it changes colour :S

Appears to me to be a MOD problem with css and "Games one hasn't played" etc.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

Guest:

<option value="304">007 Everything or Nothing</option>

User:

<option value="304" style="background-color: rgb(205, 205, 205);">007 Everything or Nothing</option>

<option value="307" style="background-color: rgb(205, 205, 205);">1 in 24 Norm v32</option>

A quick test would be to place this in the arcade.css

Code: [Hide] [Select]

option {

	background-color: #000000;

	color: #0000FF;

	border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;

	font-family: Verdana, "Trebuchet MS", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, sans-serif;

	font-size: 1.1em;

	font-weight: normal;

	padding: 1px;

}

Depends on what you have been doing too!

As you can see in the picture - I can fudge it from here to get some sort of outcome so maybe you need to clean your browser and forum cache's?

Don't know? as I don't do phpbb, but if you give me a download link to the arcade MOD AND zip up a few games for me to get a hold of - I may install it all just for the hell of playing with it.

Nup! I've currently got 1,182 swf games catalogued and indexed that I put together for some "Other" little people to play with, not to mention 1,000 Windows games also.

All I would be doing is installing it all on local host (XAMPP) and let them play with it.

Here's some rough shots of what I mean, so yep! I'm no stranger to games, or HTML - - - - Hehehe!

Thanks!

But without getting too far off topic - I've installed phpBB3 and Black Pearl and fixed up a couple of known problems with Black Pearl.

~~So how about making available the arcade.zip MOD you have, and PM me a link so that I can download it, and hopefully see what is going wrong with the css.~~

Apparently the "Latest" download is available here!

http://www.phpbbarcade.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1

So now we'll see how it goes......

Edit:

Ahem!!

Mate, I think I've got this right - - - -

Quote:
Highlight unplayed games color:

If you specify a color code then this will be the color that un-played games will be highlighted with in the drop down. It must be in hex format. Please note that if you want to have different colors for different style you need to edit arcade_header_body.html for each style. Empty = disabled.

In: arcade_header_body.html for Black Pearl:

Find:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

										<option value="{quick_jump.GAME_ID}"<!-- IF not quick_jump.S_PLAYED_GAME --> style="background-color: #{PLAYED_GAME_COLOUR};"<!-- ENDIF -->>{quick_jump.GAME_NAME}</option>

Replace with:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

										<option value="{quick_jump.GAME_ID}"<!-- IF not quick_jump.S_PLAYED_GAME --> style="background-color: #111111; color: #FFFFFF;"<!-- ENDIF -->>{quick_jump.GAME_NAME}</option>

Change #****** to suit!

Mmmmm!

This may help too?

hello,
I have the same problem as this picture

I tried to read what you said but i don't understand i am running an ordinary phpbb 3.08 forum
please help

Joshua203 [ Mon 28 Feb, 2011 21:21 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl Problems

Hi again TrEmEnDoUs,

If you are running phpbb 3.08 then please also do the style update to 1.6.4 (no matter which MG/Icy style), this will solve this one problem but also a few other minor issues.

keep in mind that a phpbb update usually means at least one style update too (depending on how many styles you have installed and use)

TrEmEnDoUs [ Tue 01 Mar, 2011 11:09 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl Problems

Thanks Joshua,
I downloaded the style few days ago so i think it is the latest version, and by the way how to update the style? or from where i can know which version it is?
I discovered now that the problem only appears when i amnot logging in!

Joshua203 [ Tue 01 Mar, 2011 14:12 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl Problems

The fact that you have this problem tells me you have 1.6.3 or even older because this problem is supposed to be fixed in 1.6.4., I wonder where you downloaded it from?
And yes this problem only shows to logged out users and also depends on some settings in acp to appear or not.

Identifying the version number is a small problem at this point because Mighty Gorgon forgot to change the version number in all included cfg files (this is where you would usually be able to check)

Right now I think the best way to check is look at the tittle of the zip you downloaded or at the "readme.txt" in the included "contrib" folder.

Updating:
If you still have an unmodified Black Pearl then the easiest way to update would be to overwrite all content (and then at least purge the cache!) or remove the old and reinstall the new.

Doing the above will always make you loose all modifications that have been made!!
Updating a modified style is a bit more complicated because you need to start comparing the changed files to save your own modifications, WinMerge is a nice free tool to help you do that.
I think it would be wise to do some reading at phpbb.com to learn about some basic stuff you need to know.

Thanks alot i will remove the old one it is as you said 1.63

Joshua203 [ Wed 02 Mar, 2011 03:38 ]
Post subject: Re: Black Pearl Problems

You're welcome

little tip ... while you're at it.. change the version number to 1.6.4 in all .cfg files of your new installed style to avoid future confusion
