Great style! Just tried it out and it works perfectly with no clutter. Thanks!

[dartho]

Thanks - feedback welcome so I can build on it more!

[Brandon Sheley]

can you add some screen shots ?
I checked the emulator, but would like some images still.

[Derek_Trotter]

Excelent work Dartho! This is it! You can also add to this skin:
1. LOG OUT button
2. Display nick name of the memeber
3. LOG IN text boxes on the top of the page

[dartho]

Thanks Derek - I'll look into those!
Just noticed the New Topic/Thread input screens aren;t too flash - I'll fix that up a bit also.

Loco - Not sure how to screen cap from a mobile phone - I was going to add screen shots, but they would have simply been screen captures of the emulator...

Use Opera Mini Demo.

any chance this could integrate into vbadvanced so those coming to the "front page" could be redirected into the forums so the theme could be applied?

[dartho]

there is probably a better way - say a plugin that checks if the scrip it vbadcanced and send directly to the forums home...

Easier - You could edit the adv_portal template and replace with something like this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

screen shots would be awesome.

[dartho]

Screen shots added - an updated version also uploaded. Now pretty much fully functional and only a fraction of the bandwidth

[RedGTiVR6]

pardon my ignorance - but how do you go about updating styles?

Just upload as normal? I don't see anywhere where you can allow an overwrite...

[dartho]

With styles, you need to go into your AdminCP. From teh menus on the left, select "Styles & Templates" and then teh "Download / Upload Styles" submenu.

Then on the right hand pane, click teh browse button and browse to the XML file. Then (assuming you don;t want/need to change the other default settings - be very careful when changing these!) click the "Import" button at the bottom of the pane.

Looks good to me apart from:

- Logon box would look batter at the top of the screen
- None on the images I have displaying on the main forum are showing up

As per:




Much improved though!

[dartho]

Not really designed with vbadvanced / other portal in mind - only for forums.

That being said, you should be able to fix up the image problem by checking the image paths in the Style manage for this style (copy the paths from your default Style)

To remove the Vbadvanced portal - see post #9 in this thread. ALternatively you could edit the same template and remove the side columns (most people display the important stuff in the centre column anyway.

I've put the login at the bottom - on small screens (say an old nokie) the login filles the whole screen when at the top, also on some much older phones it's not possible to actually
login at all. ALso, sometimes when I check my forum, i don;t want to log in - just check the latest posts and get off again with no one seeing me - so moving it to the bottom seemed best compromise.

That being said - I could post what to cut and paste form $footer template to $header template so you can modify it yourself?

BTW - "Who's Online" is also optomised for teh small screen (with less detail) but there is no menu link to it - just edit your URL and visit "online.php" if you want to get here. WHen I get more fgeatures mobile friendly, I intend on adding a seperate "links" page.
