Could you direct me to the right section in the style.css sheet (or other file) to change the font color in the header? I.E. where is says "Welcome, guest login, etc.
Hi Justjim and thank you for the compliment.
Near the end of the style.css file you will see the code needed for everything in the header under ".top".
Hi! this is by far the best template i have found so far.. could yo please help me change the background color and add a repeating image instead. i am refering to the background image of all the pages which is currently black. And also where the link to the sunset image is located for when i want to change it.
Hi Eafshar, thank you for the compliment.
To modify the background you can modify the style.css file located in the sunset folder.
You will have to replace name-of-image.jpg by the name of the file by the one you want to use and upload this file in the /themes/sunset/images folder of your forum.
I haven't tested the codes I'm giving you so if you have any trouble, let me know and I will look deeper into this.
deleted the .topr background as i wanted to have the same background as the rest of the site.
check hxxp:consciousnesscentre.ca/forum/ [nonactive] . please direct me as to where the width of the top banner is controled. Thank you!
The width of the banner can be changed in index.template.php file.
i actually want to change the height (sorry for saying width, i wasn't thinking) and make the top banner narrower. i tried to reduce the value for height from 261 but it didnt work.
There is no value set for the height of the image, the 261 value is the height of the header.
I just wanted to say thanks for this theme. You did an awesome job on it and I think it will fit my site well.
I have a question for you. When I put my logo on it, I had a hard time reading the text. Well I edited it and changed the font color and made the font bigger. Now I want to shorten some of the text, since it is bigger, so it looks better. I got everything pretty much cut down to size but I am having a hard time with the part that tells you if you have PM's. I want to change where it says,"Hey, User , you have 9 messages, 0 are new" to "Hey User , you have 0 new messages". I edited the index.template.php file and got it down to where it now says, "Hey, User , you have 0 are new". My problem is that all the test is stored in global variables and I don't know where to find them at. The variable for "Hey," is $txt['hello_member'] and the variable for "are new" I think is stored in $txt['newmessages0'] and/or $txt['newmessages1'].
Just as an update. I found what variable said what, and just replaced them with what I wanted.
Thanks again for the theme, it is very nice.
Hopefully this is the right place to ask a question, I see it's been a couple of years since anyone has posted here.
Is this something you can tell me how to do? I'm not a coder, but can fumble my way around enough to get by.
chewing through the leather straps.
You will also need to change the white background #FFFFFF with the color of your choice.
Okay, thanks, I didn't know if there was someplace other than the style sheet that I needed to change. I didn't want to end up with pesky missing image symbols. I will give that a try this week and if I run into problems I'll definitely give you a shout.
Oops, I guess we misunderstood each other.
I would like to not have images for the main navigation links: the links for home, help, search, log in, register (see attachment).
I just want them to be text links. Is there a way I can do that? If the change will affect all the other links throughout the forum, that's fine too.
Ho, I see. Like with any other theme, you will have to go in the admin section in "themes and layout" and "theme settings", click on the Sunset 2.0 name and uncheck the "Show buttons as images instead of text" box.
That simple, huh? There's so much to know about SMF. Thanks so much for the speedy reply!
Hi, I am sorry but it has been years since I used this theme or updated it and it seems that the mod you are talking about is the same. You should probably get rid if the theme or the mod or both.
As for PHP 7.0 I have not tried it but I doubt it would be a problem. If the theme doesn't work, it would rather come from its html code with newer browsers than its php code with newer php versions.
