Ok, to save MG some time explaining this annoying situation and to inform anyone interested...

Your best bet would be to use 1.6.5 until a completely new version is released!!

1.6.6 may be validated but misses a correct readme file and has a small error added back by phpbb (wich is now again pending for a fix.)

Update:

Mighty Gorgon has updated both styles to version 1.6.7 to match phpbb 3.0.9 (see post 1 in this thread)

Thanks a lot MG

Update:

Mighty Gorgon has updated both styles again, this time to version 1.6.8 to match phpbb 3.0.10 (see post 1 in this thread)

Thanks MG

It might be worth adding this

Traditional Chinese buttonset for Black Pearl phpBB3 (contains 13 translated buttons and some default English)

(as far as I know we don't have this yet)

You're welcome TheSteffen, I just bumped into it.
Keep in mind this is for phpbb and they do have the translation

I have to update this style, how can I reuse all of the color information from my current 3.0.9 style with a fresh 3.0.10 style?
Which files do I need to copy over? Were these copied files changed between 3.0.9 and 3.0.10?

Want and need: Please make this style a template of one of the defaults like a lot of the other styles please.
Having to go through all of my mods over and over again in your style is getting very obnoxious.
I'd like to be able to merge changes and be done with upgrades, rather than spend 90% of my time working on changes in your style

Thanks.

This would all depend on how and where you changed the colours really (images, html files, stylesheet, ColourizeIt).

changed files between those version should be:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

	# editor.js

	# memberlist_body.html

	# memberlist_view.html

	# posting_buttons.html

	# ucp_main_front.html

	# ucp_pm_viewmessage_print.html

What you are asking is quite impossible, if it would be the same as one of the 2 default styles it would look the same too, on top of that ...your added modifications will also cause conflicts (not only for the styles you use but also for language and phpbb).

Sure you could try auto merging it all but that is always a big risk.
You could add old and new style to the update pack for each style I guess but your modifications could still cause trouble.

The only way to safely update the way you suggest is by keeping everything default.

Thanks for the reply but I dont think you understand what I mean.
There are many styles out there now using subsilver2 and prosilver as a base.
Its called cloning, and they use the base code and modify off of that.

See the link below for more details.

http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/how...w-phpbb3-style/

This could save people a lot of time and energy including you developers.

Joshua203 [ Thu 28 Jun, 2012 11:52 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

I thought you knew these two styles were SubSilver2 based since you have at least one official mod added

Are you reading what I'm typing? Or are you just volleying posts back and forth?
Im trying to save you time and energy here.
I do not see anything like:

inherit_from = prosilver
or
inherit_from = subsilver2

in your template.cfg.
They may be subsilver based, but your code is completely separate.
This is not that new, maybe this article can illustrate better what I mean.

Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

No I am not volleying and yes i am reading (good enough to notice this is the first time you mention inheriting

)

I am trying to avoid a big discussion in this thread though.

The reason I think you want it to inherit could be worked around like I mentioned in my first reply.. add rainbow pearl to the update pack.

Personally I've never questioned why it is n't inheriting because I like it that way (I have no default style installed or activated, why would I have to if nobody will be using it?)

I also question if it would be so easy to install and keep track of a mod on files that are in two different template folders.

Updating by hitting a merge button without thouroughly checking what it is going to change exactly isn't a very good idea either imho.

Can you elaborate on this, im not sure what you mean.
Essentially, the end game would be to update the style without having to start from scratch on mods and do everything all over again each time I need to upgrade phpBB.

Joshua203 [ Fri 29 Jun, 2012 08:14 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

If you take a close look at how the content of an update pack looks you'll notice it contains an "old" and a "new" folder that contain only the changed files (keep in mind a style author could have changed more, so you need to check the codechanges in the docs readme file).
I guess (but not advice) you could add those files from the new and old style in there and they would be checked like the default styles.

What I do advice you to use is WinMerge (google for it, it's free), this allows you to compare and spot the changes in each file and will let you decide how to work arround your modded lines. (you would do this at your own PC so you wouldn't really have the need to announce an outage either

)

If you have more questions about updating please open your own thread for it (or tell me a new title and ask me to split these posts into a new thread), maybe you will even get some more opinions about it

(don't forget we are in a release thread here!)

PS... you could also go for patch files or code changes (read the other tabs here: http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/ )

Joshua203 [ Sat 30 Jun, 2012 12:47 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

A last remark on this "inherit stuff" ...
It's not inheriting because every single table is build differently (probably the reason why you choose the style

)

Mighty Gorgon [ Sat 28 Jul, 2012 10:42 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

I have designed the style based on subSilver, but the real issue is that subSilver tables are differents. And there is no way to have those kind of rounded corners with subSilver current template (unless you are going to rewrite it using HTML 5 and CSS 3 features).

That means that you can use "inheritance", but then you are not going to get properly rounded tables. This is the reason why I didn't enable inheritance.

You can try doing that and displaying the result, if you are satisfied with that, you can leave the option enabled.

As I decided to use Black Pearl theme as our forum main theme, I have translated all Buttons to Estonian.
Unfortunately I wasnt able to get original font, so they are slightly different, but still close enough.

Also I would like to share those to others, but I dont know how...

i think the best way to do this is that you put all buttons in zip file and upload here in new topic
you can use add attachment below

Joshua203 [ Fri 25 Jan, 2013 15:51 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

please try to add a text file with all button tranlsations clearly typed (like "quote_button.png = Quote"), so we can copy text easilly when we add the correct font.

Etz [ Fri 25 Jan, 2013 18:50 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

Ok, as you will recreate those with original font, you have less work than I had.
As some of those arent translatable to estonian and we use same terminology.

For example IP is IP, Jabber is Jabber, etc.

I had to redo all, as I didnt have correct Font, so I used Trebuchet MS to match the theme...

Mighty Gorgon [ Wed 06 Feb, 2013 10:08 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

Thanks for sharing these buttons.

As soon as Steffen has some free time I'm sure he will re-do the buttons with the right font (Bank Gothic if I remember correctly!) and I will update the download link for the style.

Thanks!

TheSteffen [ Sun 03 Mar, 2013 20:33 ]

Yes, I will do the buttons...

Hello!

Thank you to the Rainbow Pearl style, i love it ^^

But i have few problems: how can i delete the contacts from the profile? I need only e-mail and PM, and i don't need MSNM/WLM, YIM, AIM, ICQ, Jabber.
I deleted these from the styles/rainbowpearl/template/ucp_profile_profile_info.html, and /memberlist_view.html and memberlist_search.html files, and I can't see these in the User Control Panel, but they are still on the profile
And how can i make custom profile fields to the left side, under the contacts?

Like this:

Can you help me?

(Sorry for my english :$ )

Mighty Gorgon [ Sun 05 Jan, 2014 21:21 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

Hi ChiChi777, the file you need to edit is the following:

styles/rainbow_pearl/template/ucp_profile_profile_info.html

You have to remove IM links there and then you can move "Custom Profile Fields" where you like.

The block for "Custom Profile Fields" is the following:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<!-- BEGIN profile_fields -->

	<tr>

		<td class="row1" width="35%">

			<b class="genmed">{profile_fields.LANG_NAME}: </b>

			<!-- IF profile_fields.S_REQUIRED --><b>*</b><!-- ENDIF -->

			<!-- IF profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN --><br /><span class="gensmall">{profile_fields.LANG_EXPLAIN}</span><!-- ENDIF -->

		</td>

		<td class="row2">{profile_fields.FIELD}<!-- IF profile_fields.ERROR --><br /><span class="gensmall error">{profile_fields.ERROR}</span><!-- ENDIF --></td>

	</tr>

<!-- END profile_fields -->

Make sure you move the block with the table, since it is a table row.

ChiChi777 [ Sun 12 Jan, 2014 15:29 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

Thx :)

I don't know why, but it doesn't work :( The contacts are still on the profile. And I can't make custome profile fields in the user control panel to the left side :(

Mighty Gorgon [ Mon 13 Jan, 2014 10:34 ]
Post subject: Re: [STYLE] - Black Pearl And Rainbow Pearl

Did you refresh the cache?

Regarding moving the custom profile fields, you need to move the whole block onto the other table. For doing that you need to know some basics of html which I would expect you to know... otherwise it will be very tough to reach your goal properly.

Currently I think I'll drop support for phpBB 3 styles and mod completely.

I have no plan in upgrading those styles, since I really lack of free time.

I'm sorry.
