Post Missing "New Topic" 
 
Ok, before I ask I want to qualify myself and say that I am very very green to phpBB but I am trying to learn and yes I have searched for a solution to my problem and have yet to find one.

I have setup my site, logged in as a testaccount and opened a forum but there is no "New Topic" or "New Post" button or link in my forum. By default new users should get rights to post new topics shouldn't they or do I have to flip a switch to activate new posts?

Thanks

Rick

This time I guess it was more than just a feeling Spydie   ..I will move and try a sensible reply


Hi joerides,

First of all please post questions about phpbb in the correct section (where your post is now), thanks in advance  

Second .. what is your default installed language of your board or the the language you set in your profile, can you maybe post a link to your board or set it in your profile here?
Also what style are we talking about?

Greetings,
...Joshua203

Sorry, I should have said, green to both phpBB and IcyPhoenix but trying to learn I promise. I'm running (trying to run) IcyPhoenix with hInfinity Dark style.

English is the default language and the url is h**p://***.joeridesforum.com/icyphoenix

I've made a few mods but nothing siginificant (I thought) that would block permissions. I promise I'm trying to figure this out and not installing it and then coming here to the forum to be spoon fed every step of the way. With that said, where do I find the setting to change the background to say another image of my choosing?  

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

to change you´re background image you should go to

templates/your_style/style.css

find something like

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
body {
    background: #ffffff;
    /*background: #ffffff url('images/ice/bg_body.gif') top left repeat-x;*/
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 0;
    padding: 0px 10px 0px;
}


change to

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
body {
    //background: #ffffff;
    background: #transparent url('images/your_style/background.gif') top left repeat-x;
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 0;
    padding: 0px 10px 0px;
}


for example.

If you want to use an image that covers the hole site background in one go,

change top left repeat-x; to top left no-repeat;

On your button problem... I would start by checking if this path exists:

prosilver_ip/images/dark/lang_english

and that this language folder actually contains the images

hm.

just installed hinfinity on localhost, and I see all bottons.

I checked on you´re site, and it look´s like it´s not rendering the button, nor the link.

funny thing is, the code is there, maybe you go to ACP- Templates and clear the template cache. afterwards compile all.

Well, cleared and recompiled cache and also verified folder path and contents of folder. Everything looks good. I tried to lock/unlock a forum to see if I could fake it out but no luck there either. Any other ideas before I wipe it out and re-install?

All I can think of is.. try another style (in example default style) and see what happens there, but i noticed Spydie has regged himself at your board so you may want to await his reply (because he's one of the experts ...not me    )

all i can think of is, something wrong in viewforum.tpl

code apears in Firebug, even if it´s shadowed

maybe you touched something , you should´nt have touched

Well, it's definitely something in the style. I switched back to the default style and the "New Post" button is there and functional. Not sure what I broke and how so I guess I will scratch it all and start over.

well if default looks fine then you could just remove and reinstall the style only i guess

also a hint on this style you want ... if you change the background colour or pic keep in mind that the corners will start to show because they are black (meaning round corners will look not so round anymore   )

this is , because someone likes to create rounded corners with backgrounds.

I usualy use only transparent or moz
