KnekZ Blue For 1.3
-----------------------------------
Hi everyone!

I'm uploading my template again since it works with 1.3 and the old topic was moved. 

This file has the different backgrounds for the left and right column headers and should have improved ads and blocks positioning. I still need to do something with the drop down menu and the UPI2DB but if you don't use them it should be fine. I'm also uploading a PSD file (and a font) with the buttons for the main actions for the forum in case you need them in another language (sorry if the PSD is a little messy  :oops: ).

Here are some screenshots:

rember to upload it in BINARY mod of your client

Your themes have one form error and numerous warnings for missing div's tr's and tables etc.

May not sound like much, but if and when one goes to add mods or other markup to the themes, the misconfiguration is more than likely to create unwanted problems.

I also don't understand why you needed to rename files, or include the default.cfg in your themes as the latter removes the global attribute of the default.cfg, and all .cfg additions and changes if necessary could have been added or included into the style.cfg.

You also need to re-work the cms blocks to be compatible with the default layout of IP themes, rather than suggest that advert blocks be compromised - Because that's what Icy Phoenix is all about.

There is absolutely no difference between a monitor and a TV irrespective of its size, resolution or whether it is progressive or interlaced.

The screen only mimics the digital input that the markup provides. :P

The biggest problem is that people add "fixed width" in amongst "variable width" when creating themes or any other html markup.

Consider - If it's fluid width then use %'s, if not then use fixed px, as combing the both does create the problems you highlighted.

In other words - It's the programmer - not the monitor.

Hell! I use a 40 inch "TV" at times on unreal resolutions, and if it "Breaks" - It's usually not the "TV's" problem. ;)

Hi Lopalong!

You got me there lol. Since I've been editing the template to be as tableless as posible many files still have table tags that are made for tables that don't exist anymore. That will take quite a while to fix but you're right, it must be done. I also get the form error when validating but I haven't looked where it is and thus not fixed it. I also know the ads must be compatible and I've been working on it. really.

Why did I copy the cfg? Don't know it was just new to me and decided to copy all important things to a new folder  :oops:

 [quote user="Lopalong" post="42074"]In other words - It's the programmer - not the monitor.[/quote]
I know, I never said otherwise, I just pointed out you have to keep that in mind.

OK so I still have much to repair (also the black theme has lots of white remainings).

Thank you for the advise Lopalong  :mrgreen: I think you're the first one to see those errors (or at least the first one to tell me)


Edit:

I need help with this:

Here is an error I get at the validator, which is repeatet for every attribute in the marquee. What is the simplest solution? Change the document type? Thanks
[spoiler]Line 270, Column 13: Attribute "id" exists, but can not be used for this element.

<marquee id="recent_topics" behavior="scroll" direction="up" height="200" scroll

You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the FAQ item on valid flash.

You wont get it to validate because it's not recognised as legitimate WC3 markup.

http://www.htmlref.com/reference/appa/tag_marquee.htm

[quote]This is primarily a Microsoft-specific element, although a few other browsers, notably MSNTV and later Netscape and Mozilla versions, support it to some degree.[/quote]

And you'll get some other things that enhance IP script but don't validate either. ;)

Table-less, Mmmm! 

You're going to find that one hell of a workout with nested templates etc, and not only that, mods and extras would have to re-written just for one theme, and certainly not something I would be interested in doing.

Consider also that some .php core files contain markup as well.

But! if it keeps you happy - Keep doing it.  :mricy:

Re: KnekZ Blue For 1.3
-----------------------------------
Only thing you can do is use a JavaScript to emulate marquee.

You can use JQuery, or Scriptaculous or MooFX... there are many (most of them already included in Icy Phoenix)... I think also HighSlide is capable of some sort of marquee.

You just need to choose one and apply the required code.

I will also convert the current scrolling blocks one day... but since MARQUEE (even if not valid W3C) is working with all main browsers it's not on my priority list. I just avoid using marquee on my sites. :wink:

(And this is the reason I have created a flash block!)

I agree with leaving it as it is since it works with many browsers. Even though it doesn't validate I think it's better than JavaScript or Flash.

Could you make compatible with internet explorer 6?

I am not agree with this. The users have not why to adjust to your forum, you must ajust to your users. The users are the boss. A good template must be readable for the most comon explorers...

The users used a lot ie:
Visit that use Internet Explorer in my forum	Visits: 49.292

7.0	22.364 	45,37% 	
 	
6.0	13.577 	27,54%

This meaning that 13.577 visits use ie6. If you use this template, you lost 13.577.

May be ie6 is a crap, but is very used by the users yet.

[quote user="portalpez" post="42771"]May be ie6 is a crap, but is very used by the users yet.[/quote]

Yes! and I would suggest that most of those users don't have licensed Operating Systems and are NOT entitled to anything other than IE6 when it comes to Windows.

And if that [b]IS[/b] the case - then it's time for them to realise that antiquated software is no longer supported, and why should programmers cater for it. ?

Anyone with licensed versions of Windows would automatically upgrade to later versions of IE, so what you are suggesting only indicates one should also cater for pirated Operating Systems.

Time to move on my friend, those days are dead and gone..  :lcop:

[b]Edit:[/b]

Maybe [b][i]"Pirated Operating Systems" [/i][/b]is a bit strong - Let's just call it Windows Operating Systems that [b]DON'T[/b] validate, and are therefore not entitled to be upgraded.  :shock:

[quote user="portalpez" post="42771"]
If you use this template, you lost 13.577.[/quote]

Even MG and Icy Phoenix v.1.3.0.* no longer support IE6 - If you feel you need to use this template for the benefit of your Members / Visitors - You could always try to [b][u]downgrade[/u][/b] it to IE6 yourself. Else advise them to use FF or Opera etc. But then again - They would probably have to find an "Old" version of those too. :roll:

Hello Lopalong,

Like i said the user is the boss. If a user has i6, (licensed or not licensed operating system) and the user charge your page and see that the charge is bad, the user go away. If you think that the user going to update, you are wrong.

I work in informatic services, and i have seen a lot of users(with licensed o.s.) that have ie6, because he know it well and like it, and this users dont like it ie7 or firefox...etc.

I am attempt to trasmit that the users are very tradicional and the freaks are we... :mrgreen: 

A lot of home people not understand this things, and dont go to update...althoug you put a link to update like this:

From 13 january of 2009 to 13 august:

Internet explorer 6.0  Visits: 108.130  30,33%
Internet explorer 5.5  230  0,06% -----------> yes, it is dead.

108.130 users is no problem of users, is a big problem for a webmaster, because a webmaster that use a template not compatible with ie6, lost this users.

Dead? I am sure that still is alive.


But i understand, that the today code is imcompatible with the yesterday code.

No Spydie, you got me wrong. Both styles can be run simultaneusly. I just said if you were to install Dark you had to replace the blue images. That's not importnat anymore since both topics have the same file with both templates updated. Unfortunately I don't know why but I can't see any screenshot, text whatsoever explaining the problem with two templates installed. 

About IE6....what can I say. I only know of 3 computers that still use it and they were all in my school. I tried to make it Ie6 compatible but it's support for CSS is so poor I got tired of it and IE8 came out so I thought no one would use less than 7 anymore.

I'm sorry Portalpez but I think this style won't be the best for your site if almost 50% of your visits are with IE6. I think those statistics are very strange but what can I do. 

Search Google for "project no Ie6 support". You will get things like this:
[url=http://mashable.com/2009/08/04/ie6-no-more/]http://mashable.com/2009/08/04/ie6-no-more/
I'm sorry but it's true, IE6 is an old story.

[quote user="spydie" post="42748"]That´s why.

ElPulgas said strictly [b][u]not[/u][/b] to install both themes together. or one or the other.

I think he explained that in Knekz dark. They are not compatible with each other.

Uninstall both themes .

Delet the one you don´t want to use from your site and install the other one new.

Yes, please. Do you get a blank page? Did you install it just for your account or for everyone? Such kind of things would be good. Oh and also a link if you can. I hope we  can fix it.

I already saw the page in IE6. It's a mess just like in the screenshot you send me. I'll have a look at the things I changed and check what is causing the problem.

Well I can see it working on FF 3.5 and IE7. The only problem is the side navigation. It doesn't show right. But besides that big issue the site works fine. You use the CMS for the menu, right? Because I still have to edit the dyn menu block.

That would change the color of many links including the breadcrumbs I think. That's a good temporary fix  :) but the tpl still needs to be edited like the nav_links to use spans with the right classes. Since your site has quite a lot of people you might want to change it like Lopalong suggests until I upload the other file.

No problem. Though I doubt it's perfect. It's wrapped in another box so it looks very strange. One possible solution would be to remove the outer wrapper to make it look like the default menu. But that's not the best since it would reduce the editable capabilities of the dyn menu. I think I'll have to change it so the inner titles don't have a box. Another thing that needs to be tested is ads. I think they'd have the same problem  :( . Oh and don't forget to undo what you changed in the css because users won't see the links under the breadcrumbs (like new messages, mark all read, etc).

I'm uploading a new version for you and others who use dyn menu to try out  :mrgreen:

Possibly because it still had some table structure.

You would have to cater for IE6 by integrating something like the following.

[code linenumbers=false]	<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->

IE 7 & 8 Markup?

	<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table><![endif]-->[/code]

And do consider that if you make anything backward compatible with IE6, you will be plagued with requests to fix everything else that doesn't work with it. ;)

Lol that's really possible.

About tables; No, the table markup of the index had already been removed and it looked somewhat good. Using conditionals is really boring and I don't intend to do it. If I get it to work on IE6 editing only CSS and HTML it's ok  :P .

Well there are always upgrades to be done. I already fixed the flash news block to fit the template. The error on registration seems to be a temporary bug and is ok now. But there are some errors on the album, The PM system needs some tweaks and so on....

To change the logo replace root\templates\knekz\images\blue\sitelogo.png with your image. I hope .png is ok for you.
To change the position edit knekz_blue.css. Look for.sitelogo{position:absolute;left:0;top:5px;}

I don´t know this style, but can you try to change this:
OPEN [b]templates/knekz/knekz_blue.css[/b]
FIND
[codeblock].post-author
{
text-align: center;
width: 175px;
float: right;
}[/codeblock]
REPLACE WITH
[codeblock].post-author
{
text-align: center;
width: 175px;
float: left;
}[/codeblock]

MAybe this is all, but I am not quite sure.
Try it.

Off topic... but I love what you did to the center portal block Lord1, it may not so practical but it at least made me say "huh?¿?"  :lol:

PS.. about those header pics ... it could be so that if you make the left and right block wider that the pic would show 100% in stead of just a piece

but in all fairness if you look at the screenshots in post one .... it looks the same as what you call a bug  :wink:
