So! who's not guilty of doing the same thing.



I'm glad you echoed the procedure because I think Limun needed a little more convincing that it is the preferred way to do it.



@Limun. Now you can rename the title to Sudoku and Config's

Try adding this to the style.cfg after the include line:

$img_fade = '';
$img_fade_nm = '';

Just remember that they are ' '; and not ";

PS: Your first post looks a lot better - But I would have - - - - - - Aw! forget it - Just kidding.

Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
I think you may need to look at adding these two also to the style, particularly if both are going to be applied to your new template. Or you may just want to "Change" and add the 'nav_menu_sep' which I think may be your problem.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
$images['menu_sep'] = $xmas_images . 'menu_sep.gif';

$images['nav_menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.gif';

OMG what we have done of sudoku topic

Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
Don't worry about the sudoku topic, by the time the Mods clean it up; they can make three topics out of it.

Now your problem:

Try this to kill the image vars before the replacement strings are called.


In your style.cfg

Code: [Hide] [Select]
Find:

?>

Before Add:

$images['menu_sep'] = '';
$images['nav_menu_sep'] = '';

$images['menu_sep'] = $xmas_images . 'menu_sep.png';
$images['menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';
$images['nav_menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';


Also, why so much stuff in the style.cfg ? From what I can see and understand what you are trying to do, maybe this is all you need after the include string. I could be wrong, but you don't need to include whole blocks of variables unless they are an array. So you only need to actually include the single lines that you want to change.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
$img_fade = '';
$img_fade_nm = '';

$images['menu_sep'] = '';
$images['nav_menu_sep'] = '';

$images['menu_sep'] = $xmas_images . 'menu_sep.png';
$images['menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';
$images['nav_menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';

// SUDOKU - BEGIN
if (defined('IN_SUDOKU'))
{
$images['sudoku_x'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/sudoku_blank.gif';
$images['sudoku_1'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/1_given.png';
$images['sudoku_2'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/2_given.png';
$images['sudoku_3'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/3_given.png';
$images['sudoku_4'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/4_given.png';
$images['sudoku_5'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/5_given.png';
$images['sudoku_6'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/6_given.png';
$images['sudoku_7'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/7_given.png';
$images['sudoku_8'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/8_given.png';
$images['sudoku_9'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/9_given.png';
$images['sudoku_11'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/11_given.png';
$images['sudoku_12'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/12_given.png';
$images['sudoku_13'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/13_given.png';
$images['sudoku_14'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/14_given.png';
$images['sudoku_15'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/15_given.png';
$images['sudoku_16'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/16_given.png';
$images['sudoku_17'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/17_given.png';
$images['sudoku_18'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/18_given.png';
$images['sudoku_19'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/19_given.png';
$images['sudoku_21'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/1_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_22'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/2_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_23'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/3_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_24'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/4_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_25'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/5_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_26'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/6_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_27'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/7_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_28'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/8_ran.png';
$images['sudoku_29'] = $current_template_images . 'sudoku/9_ran.png';
}
// SUDOKU - END


I also think MG needs to look at why he has one var $images['menu_sep'] trying to do two functions.

Btw, I have found myself at times making changes in a "Backup" theme instead of the working one, and wondering why the hell the changes were not being effected.

It CAN happen!

Lopalong [ Fri 29 May, 2009 01:53 ]
Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
Ok,

There isn't much left that can be causing this.

Delete the menu_sep.gifs in the style image folder and then clear your browser, templates and main cache in IP.

If the images are still there after that, then I would think that they are being called from a different path folder. And if that is the case, then you will probably find that you have a path problem in your style/theme_info.cfg that is calling the wrong "color".

Re forcing the extensions to png the way you have: you could do that by reversing in the theme_info.cfg, the png - gif entries in either or both of the two lines below to suit your theme.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
$images_extension = in_array($color, $png_colors) ? 'png' : 'gif';
$buttons_extension = in_array($color, $png_buttons_colors) ? 'png' : 'gif';



So there should be no need to make this change -

Code: [Hide] [Select]
{
$buttons_extension = 'png';
}

- unless you have such a mixture of buttons / images extensions that you would also need to rearrange the order of them.

Welcome to the club.

Do you want to make a copy of this theme available for me to have a look at, because I would like to know what's causing it.

Maybe also a good idea to cut the first post to a new sudoku thread and rename this one to Config Mysteries!

Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
Thanks, I'll have a look at it sometime today when I've got time to explore it properly.

Update:

Couple of things - Best you forget everything you learned about v27* templates because MG in his wisdom has made a whole lot of changes that wont recognise some of that stuff.

I wasn't going to post the fixes here, but I want MG to explain why the image vars are not being overwritten with new functions after the include line in the style .cfg, and I didn't want to post this twice; here and in the bugs.

Not only that, it gives everyone the chance to see what is basically only required for a stand-alone theme.

First the "RC" theme_info.cfg

Spoiler: [ Show ]


Now the style.cfg (In this case vB_black.cfg - Using .png buttons and images)

Spoiler: [ Show ]


@Limun: You had some extra button padding in the old .cfg, you can modify this line to re-add it.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
$extra_padding = in_array($color, $png_buttons_colors) ? '" style="margin-bottom:2px;' : '';


How to remove the image fade, because it doesn't recognise the $image changes in the style.cfg:

copy common.css to /style/common.css and change the style_xxxxx.css
@import url("../default/common.css"); to @import url("common.css");

Remove from /style/common.css:

Code: [Hide] [Select]
/* IMG Fading - BEGIN */
.imgfade{filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.80; margin-left: 3px;}
.imgfull{filter: alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity: 1; margin-left: 3px;}
.imgfade_nm{filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.80;}
.imgfull_nm{filter: alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity: 1;}
/* IMG Fading - END */


Question for MG: Why is it necessary to re-assign IMG_MENU_SEP as it's currently the only way I can get this image function to change ?

For Limun:

Attached is the modified theme for you to check over and do your thing etc...

Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
seems that u solved menusep headtouch

however
theme_info was my mistake because i made it time ago (since beta relase) and affter i forghetit about ..


regarding png buttons all trick is in to change 'png' : 'gif'; to 'gif' : 'png'; right ?
(didnt know this)


regarding image fade its good to remove it from common.css (i dont know how to explian this...) than i dont need to use anymore this
Code: [Hide] [Select]
$extra_padding = in_array($color, $png_buttons_colors) ? '" style="margin-bottom:2px;' : '';

but what if there gona be chages in main (defaultone) common.css ?


and last one thing;
so this solved menu sep problem ?
Code: [Hide] [Select]
$template->assign_vars(array(
'IMG_MENU_SEP' => $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png',)
);


Thanks a lot for your time and help

Now i have remade all my 3 other styles

Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
You're welcome.

Re this: "but what if there gonna be changes in main (default one) common.css ?"

Yes it could cause some sort of small problems, but at the moment there's no other way to drop the image fade.

Lets wait until MG has a look at the problems here (Posted in Bug Tracker) to see why the VAR changes are not being effected after the include line in the style.cfg; before we do anything more dramatic.



Re the Padding:

Code: [Hide] [Select]
You had this in your old cfg after the include line.

$extra_padding = '" style="margin-left:2px;'; (Which is slightly wrong) ;)

When this option already exists in the style.cfg

$extra_padding = in_array($color, $png_buttons_colors) ? '" style="margin-bottom:2px;' : '';

So just change that to:

$extra_padding = in_array($color, $png_buttons_colors) ? '" style="margin-left:2px;' : '';

or:

$extra_padding = in_array($color, $png_buttons_colors) ? '" style="margin-bottom:2px; margin-left:2px;' : '';

if you have to or want to.


Edit:

The padding changes doesn't work even if I change the "apple" array to vbblack, so I don't know what's happening there.

Just do this until MG can spend some time here.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
Find in the Style.cfg

$extra_padding = in_array($color, $png_buttons_colors) ? '" style="margin-bottom:2px;' : '';

Change to (Your Original String)

$extra_padding = '" style="margin-left:2px;';

Re This:

Mate, there seems to be a problem with the Vars overwriting previous vars unless the default.cfg is in the same folder as the style. And if MG wants to keep the default.cfg in the default folder, he's going to have to come up with some way that the var entries after the include line, actually force the changes to the default config.

I think it's better to shut off and wait until he looks at what the heck is happening here.

That's why I'm waiting for the final release before creating anything - because the RC's still need some testing.

unfortunaly there also missing in nav q links

nomenusep

at the end isnt better to have default.cfg in own style
(thats why i used it in my styles , it made me lot troubles when i didnt used it in my style )

anyway we have to see what MG gona say

regarding you : how are you ?

Hehehehe! Thought you might like a BIGGER one.

Edit:

Limun, do you want to test this with vB_black?

It should fix the img_fade thing, and just add your changed images .png etc here ->

Code: [Hide] [Select]
// Start vB_black specific images

$images['menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';
$images['nav_menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';

there also appaered menu_sep in drop down menu

however i m a bit confused in all that below // SUDOKU - END

thanks


Lopalong [ Sun 31 May, 2009 11:16 ]
Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
All that below // SUDOKU - END re-establishes the template variables and some of them are probably a bit of overkill. But! - - - - the other alternative is to start adding arguments to the default.cfg for each and every variation to the style. And that is not going to be very useful as it would mean altering the default.cfg for any new style that required changes.

Or it would mean selecting different vars to add to the style.cfg (Could get messy)

I also can't see MG varying the default.cfg, because he would have to change all of his styles also to include the vars array in each style.cfg.

Maybe he may decide it's better to have the var array in the style.cfg only, and do it anyway. Who knows?

But at the moment, re-establishing the whole var array in the style.cfg takes the guesswork out of which vars to modify for what changes that need be added to it.

Now we can wait - wait - wait - for MG to decide, and tell us how he intends or would go about overcoming the problem.

PS: When you say Fade is not working, do you mean that fade has been "Killed" or the buttons still have the glow effect.?

I'm a bit lost in this huge topic...

I've spent ten minutes reading it, but I don't know if I have understood what is still open...

Can someone please recap which issues still need to be resolved?

Which vars should you need to overlay?

If you just need to overlay menu_sep, you can just add menu_sep template declaration at the end of your cfg file.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
include(IP_ROOT_PATH . 'templates/default/default.cfg');

$images['menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';
$images['nav_menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';

$template->assign_vars(array(
'IMG_MENU_SEP' => $images['menu_sep'],
'IMG_NAV_MENU_SEP' => '<img src="' . $images['nav_menu_sep'] . '" alt="" title="" />',
)
);

You caused it!

We already worked that out, but isn't that a BIG ask for a novice theme maker, to start adding vars to re-echo the changes to the strings ?

Only a suggestion, but would it not be easier to split the vars array from the default.cfg and do something like this ?

Code: [Hide] [Select]
include(IP_ROOT_PATH . 'templates/default/default.cfg');

// Start Put any forced changes to the default.cfg here.

$images['menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';
$images['nav_menu_sep'] = $current_template_buttons . 'menu_sep.png';

// END Put any forced changes to the default.cfg here.

include(IP_ROOT_PATH . 'templates/default/default_vars.cfg');


Else I'll simply remove all of the unwanted vars from the example I did, and we'll have to use that as the base for modded theme vars for all the images that theme makers may want to change.

I honestly don't think that most theme-makers are also programmers, so we'll give them the easiest way to do it, without having to work out what var belongs to what image etc..

Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
I don't think so many designers will need to change the default.cfg... and most important... you can also decide to don't use default.cfg at all!!!

I have created a default one for my templates... but it is just a default one!

You can add all the vars you need in your CFG and avoid to use the INCLUDE.

Unfortunately making complex themes requires some extra editing in CFG... you cannot avoid that.

Lopalong [ Mon 01 Jun, 2009 00:47 ]
Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles
Didn't know you posted ahead of me Limun.

@ MG

The only concern with not using and including the default/default.cfg is that should you make any important changes to the default.cfg in the way of upgrades etc, then those upgrades would not be accessible to any style that bypasses the default/default.cfg.



Ok, so anyone wanting to change image.ext etc, is going to have to learn how to re-define the strings and add them and the vars to the style.cfg. And that's no problem - So long as everyone knows that and does it the same way, then it wont become a headache for those trying to help.



@Limun - Why did you have to make those images .png ?

first i learned more than few things in this topic from you ,thats why i created .pngs
(i like png ... they are more confortable than .gif and we are in 21 century also ... sites are going on transparency ,quality ecc and with .gif you cant take out so much )

anyway your last cfg is working so i will probably use it .... but dunno what i will do if some other things came out ... this is only reason why i wont default.cfg


Lopalong [ Mon 01 Jun, 2009 01:39 ]
Post subject: Re: Sudoku Images For Dark Styles


For myself, I intend to remove all the things that will never change from the last config I posted and use that. Because I don't want to be in the position of having to upgrade the /style/(style.cfg and moved default.cfg) if and when MG ever adds another MOD that requires a block of images or anything else that may be added to the /default/default.cfg.

Because as far as the end-user of the style is concerned, having to modify the /default/default.cfg for all unmodified styles, and then having to modify the default.cfg that has / may have been added to the modified style - - is all too much.
