Post subject: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Due to the recent closure of http://icythemes.com/ip, I lost the documentation to reduce the style of 80%.
Someone has it?
Thank you

What are these MODifications for?

Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
For "Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?"

So when you go to various pages mentioned in the MOD - the layout doesn't break.

That's what it's for!

Hey Lopalong.
This does not look good with resolutions higher than 1024x768 ...
How can I change the percentage (%) by the pixels?
Thank you

Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Here!

#global-wrapper {
width: 90%;
}

change width to 860px; or whatever suits you or the style you are trying to squash etc. And if it's Crystal Styles, you ain't going to be able to squash them very much - But you didn't say what style you were changing.

I disagree. Of course words and images are going to appear smaller because of increased resolution, but most of your users will not have their resolution set above 1024x768.

Take a look at my site with Lopalong's reducing code. Link is in my profile.

If I change to 860px, the right edge of the template away.
sinbordeub2.th

If I write a value of less than 860px, the portal is aligned to the right
alineaderecharq1.th

what happens?
Thanks!

A link to your site Please?

Post the script you have in the overall_footer for the theme you are trying to change.

And DON'T send me to imageshack again - Upload your pics here.

The footer script you have posted does not reflect the changes as required in the instructions.

Thanks! Works Great!

Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Glad you fixed it!

For your sake and others in future, The best way to help solve most problems with themes is:

Post a URL to your site:

Include the theme ID number that you will find in the ACP - Style and Templates > Default Style etc.

It makes it so much easier.!

Just a cosmetic suggestion for all people who want to reduce their template to a fixed width... I would use TWO COLUMNS in home page instead of three...

is that ok ???

my site :- www.uk-alliance.com

oh I am using Blue Pearl Theme as well


Lopalong [ Sun 01 Feb, 2009 22:13 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
From memory - the instructions tell you that you have clean up this block.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
<div align="center">{BOTTOM_HTML_BLOCK}
<span><a name="bottom"></a></span>
</body>
<div align="center">

</div>


You have added mods etc, that are outside of the body, so you need to work out what's best for you. But either way, you need to move </body> to above the </html>

Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
hi again Lopalong, sorry about this nothing seems to work first time for me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

anyway, I followed these instructions that you posted :-

Spoiler: [ Show ]


there doesnt mention anything about cleaning up :-

Spoiler: [ Show ]



anyway I have moved the code to above the body tag

I still have no border at the top or bottom any ideas ?? Chaotic site looks great with the borders


Lopalong [ Mon 02 Feb, 2009 02:23 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Sorry, I thought I had made reference to the the fact that the bottom blocks and body vars needed to be moved.

Chaotic uses a theme created by Limun, so if you want extras added - talk to Limun, because I don't normally work on any theme that someone has added modifications to themselves. And I certainly don't create patches on-the-run for wannabe personal taste changes etc.


n1cks21 [ Mon 02 Feb, 2009 13:29 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
ok.................. I may need to do that or even change to ProSilver IP Blue because I have followed your script but changed the global-wrapper to 924px everything now looks ok however I am having a problem when I post in the forum it doesnt seem to wrap around properly, for example if I create a new message and press and hold down the a key by the time I have "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" it shows it as one big line knocking the rest of the site out of line.

any help would be great


Lopalong [ Mon 02 Feb, 2009 22:36 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Stop holding down the key? No normal word is ever going to be that long, and the editor can't find a space to wrap it.


Chaotic [ Mon 02 Feb, 2009 23:08 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Lopa,

Your reducing code works correctly with the beta? I think n1cks21 is using this on a beta IP. You are the code master so I'm not sure if your code works on the beta or not.


n1cks21 [ Tue 03 Feb, 2009 00:24 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
I am using version 1.2.0.27c , but the a was just an example, I have this problem with some of my smileys also.


Chaotic [ Tue 03 Feb, 2009 01:05 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Oh ok,


Lopalong [ Tue 03 Feb, 2009 07:53 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
@Chaotic:

Thanks but I did check n1cks site and IF he was "Playing" with the beta - "No Comment on what I would have said" if that had been the case

@n1cks: When you reduce the theme width, there is some stuff that is set for the MAX and smilie rows are one of them. IF that's what we are talking about. ?

You can change the smilie columns and rows in the ACP. IF that's what we are talking about ?


Or did I already say that?

Edit:

There were some unwanted carriage returns in the script which I have removed.

The most obvious change is:

height="35px"

Which should have been ->

style="height: 35px;"


n1cks21 [ Tue 03 Feb, 2009 09:52 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
yes the smileys did need changing in the ACP which I did what I mean is when you use smileys in a post ?? but I suppose it's the same answer that you gave me for the a example above, I suppose when you put smiley after smiley after smiley the editor cant find a space to wrap it ???

I do have quite big smileys on my site


Lopalong [ Tue 03 Feb, 2009 11:44 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Smilies can or should be able to be broken with spaces between each one, notwithstanding that at present they probably look something like this:

:asmile::bsmile::csmile: etc. Though it may not be apparent in the editor, that's how they are coming up as described by you?

It means that the url calling the smilies either needs a space before or after the http string that calls them. Not difficult, but means a .php script adjustment.

Post it as a new topic and we'll see if we can thrash it out.

Post some pics too, as it would be helpful.

You could also try adding spaces before and after all the "New" and / or large smilies that you add.

E.g. <space>:mysmilie:<space> If you get what I mean.


n1cks21 [ Tue 03 Feb, 2009 23:38 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Thanks for the reply, I will try your suggestion and put some spaces in before I create a new thread

thanks again


Lopalong [ Thu 05 Feb, 2009 01:36 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
If that don't work, and it probably won't! Try this?

Open: viewtopic_body.tpl

Code: [Hide] [Select]
Find:

{POLL_DISPLAY}
<tr>
<th width="150">{L_AUTHOR}</th>

Replace With:

{POLL_DISPLAY}
<tr>
<th style="width:15%;">{L_AUTHOR}</th>


Find:

<td class="row-post" width="100%" height="100%">
<div class="post-buttons-top post-buttons">
<span class="img-main">{postrow.QUOTE_IMG}</span>


Replace With: (Adjust 800px to suit your style.)

<td class="row-post" style="width:800px; height:100%;">
<div class="post-buttons-top post-buttons" >
<span class="img-main">{postrow.QUOTE_IMG}</span>



It won't fix AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA etc, but it will fix the smilies. And higher resolutions will just have to put up with what they get unless you do fix or have fixed the overall table width with px.


n1cks21 [ Thu 05 Feb, 2009 02:58 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
I have set the global-wrapper to 924px does that fix the overall table width as well ????

I have done the change from above which has fixed the smileys once posted but still shows them as a big long line in the preview window.

Images posted still strech the template, I have tried to limit image sizes via ACP but it doesnt seem to have any effect

thanks for all your help lopalong


Lopalong [ Thu 05 Feb, 2009 05:26 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Yes, You have fixed the overall width.

Open:

posting_preview.tpl

Find:
<td class="row-post" width="100%">

Replace With: (Adjust 800px to suit your theme)

<td class="row-post" style="width:800px; height:100%;">



A link to your "Image" (Pics) problem please.

Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
getting there slowly that worked........ but now, not sure how to explain this, when I type a message in the message box the text/smileys look fine but when I click preview the text/smileys now look fine in the preview window at the top but the text/smileys move into one long line in the message box, I assume I have to put the same fix as above but somewhere in the message box ????

my picture problem is when I post a big image on the forum it stretches the width to show the picture, so I changed it in ACP to use thumbnails so when you click on them they show up as big picture like on this site, however when I post a picture I dont get a thumbnail I get the below :-

www.uk-alliance.comimagesimage
If I click on each one the picture does show, so it does work it just doesnt show a thumbnail


ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I asume it's a file location problem but not sure where to look


Lopalong [ Thu 05 Feb, 2009 23:02 ]
Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
Mate,

You need to work on a theme that you haven't modified, and then add your mods to it one by one to see what is happening.

No doubt there could be other changes made for cosmetic reasons - but I never tested all functions of the reduced theme because no-one was interested in either testing it or providing any feedback at the time it was available. I'll look at it again for the next version of IP, but it's a little late in the process to be bothering with it now.

As for the no thumbnail - it's a php.ini thing, and it has been discussed here several times so please search for that answer.

Post subject: Re: Reducing Theme To 80% By Lopalong?
If you are talking about the posted screen shots way back the start of the thread? No it's not. And I'm not sure if it isn't an FKThemes template, that should be available in the "Downloads" theme section here for IP v27 ONLY - until it's converted to RC1 whatever.

NO!

You would still have to reduce your theme to 80% whatever FIRST - All that adjustment does is stop the editor from "breaking" the template in PM Reply / New; and the Sig after you have reduced it.

Lopalong can help set the theme fk_theme_kids, looks good to enter the website, but when entering the username and password, decentralization, I have the resolution 1024*768 and I would like my website was well http://eligetutheme.es/forum/

The error is http://chatbuenrollito.es/index.php

Username: prueba

password: 123456

we must shift the web to the right to see the blocks, and that's what I want to fix

I have installed the version of Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53

Thank you very much!

At the moment I'm not doing anything with IPv1.3* so you will have to wait unless someone else can help you.

But! Please don't post your requests in more than one thread in future, and particularly not about v1.3 in the "Old" version threads.
