Re: Minima look for PunBB

hcgtv - In the end it was all worth it. But, as with my other projects - It's a work in progress. I hope to keep all my templates updated for each version of punBB to ensure maximum compatibility.

So, what that means is that any time anyone has any comments, suggestions, or the like - I'm always open. wink

Also, I set up that donations thing that you suggested.

I'm working on this finishing up this template: http://singapore.sourceforge.net/cvsdem … emplate=Y!

Just need to incorporate the same header, play with navigation and decide how to handle the full size image page.

erissiva, I created the Nucleus skins site: http://skins.nucleuscms.org - brought all the old skins up to current specs and created some of my own. Started with 5 skins, we now have 24 and counting. For me it was also worth it, I gained knowledge and gave back to the community in the process.

Re: Minima look for PunBB

hcgtv - Impressive! What I've been doing recently is trying to spread themes along sBLOG, Singapore, and punBB so that people can get a matching site. Currently I'm looking into a different gallery system for programming reasons - I just don't think I'm ready to take the step up to CMS yet. wink
I'm an adherent of the KISS method.

Re: Minima look for PunBB

What's a pity all people like these sort of gallery ... I click, and I click, and I click ... fed up with clicking !!! DHTML Tree would be perfect to browse a gallery (and 100% degradable)

But great stuff, however.

I agree - like I said: "Currently I'm looking into a different gallery system for programming reasons ". The reason you list is one of them.

Re: Minima look for PunBB

hcgtv - Thanks for pointing me in the direction of snif. After looking around the code and CSS, it took a bit to get it looking anything like my site, but now I have a preliminary downloads section for my site.

Wheeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There are a few modifications that need to be made (aka - integration with my site...Links and the such), but over time it will happen.

Great, it is a rather easy script to mod, it's all in one file anyway.

One thing I did was take out all the translation lines and just left english so the file was smaller to deal with.

Also check out the toc.php file in the downloads section of snif, I use that also.

Yes, we hear you.

But a gallery still needs the basic core functions, upload an image, resize it to a thumbnail, etc. From there, how you handle the display is up to the author of the gallery. Hopefully, as time progresses and new ways of doing things in browsers comes out, we can arrive at our Dream Gallery.

Also keep in mind that handling a 100 image gallery is way different than handling a gallery of 100,000 images. I'm heading towards the 100,000 image direction, this will involve a tree like structure with search capabilities.

I actually took out more than that... *lol*
Whiddled it down to around 46 kb...I could prob. get it smaller in time, but I don't wanna screw it up for the time being.


I've been looking at that toc.php script, and I don't really understand the usefulness of it except to display the contents of every folder in one place...But, that could be really confusing.

Re: Minima look for PunBB

You guys have no idea how good it feels to be away from the forums for a few days and then come back to topics such as this one. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside smile

Re: Minima look for PunBB

Quick question on this style.

I'd like to move the breadcrumbs left to line up with the text of the post, similar to how Oxygen is. I have been looking at the CSS files but I've having a dumb day today, because I can't figure out where to change this.

Wrapping is evident on this page: http://hcgtv.net/viewtopic.php?id=1168

Thanks.

Re: Minima look for PunBB

Hi,

Similar question as above, I'm a bit confused on how breadcrumbs are controlled:

This is the code from this link: http://hcgtv.net/viewtopic.php?id=1168

<div class="linkst">
    <div class="inbox">
        <p class="pagelink conl">Pages: <strong>1</strong></p>
        <p class="postlink conr"><a href="post.php?tid=1168">Post reply</a></p>
        <ul><li><a href="index.php">Forum</a></li><li> » <a href="viewforum.php?id=4">News</a></li><li> » Iran's president linked to 1979 hostage crisis</li></ul>

        <div class="clearer"></div>
    </div>
</div>

<div class="postlinksb">
    <div class="inbox">
        <p class="postlink conr"><a href="post.php?tid=1168">Post reply</a></p>
        <p class="pagelink conl">Pages: <strong>1</strong></p>
        <ul><li><a href="index.php">Forum</a></li><li> » <a href="viewforum.php?id=4">News</a></li><li> » Iran's president linked to 1979 hostage crisis</li></ul>

        <div class="clearer"></div>
    </div>
</div>

On the top, the breadcrumbs follow conr and on the bottom they follow conl. I still can't figure out how to make them line up with the beginning of the post, slide left, so I can prevent them from wrapping.

Thanks, that's all I left on to do on this style.

Re: Minima look for PunBB

In the base file

/* 5.3 Keep breadcrumbs from shifting to the right when wrapping */

.linkst UL, linksb UL, .postlinksb UL {MARGIN-LEFT: 18em}

The left margin should be the same size as the width of the left column of posts or slightly wider if you want it to line up with the post text rather than the edge of the post. In your case try setting it to 14em or 14.6em. You will also have to adjust the widths of conl in item 5.2 to 14em to match the left column of the post. This might cause a potential problem in that it might not provide sufficient room for the page numbers. Personally with that style I would have put the breadcrumbs somewhere else.

EDIT: the note in the stylesheet is wrong, it should say "shifting to the left".

Man, I played with that so many times but nothing happened.

Now, that was the trick, that did it.

Seems to be fine, this topic is the largest with 28 pages: http://hcgtv.net/viewtopic.php?id=1059

Thanks Paul, I'm done styling the forum now.

Re: Minima look for PunBB

I think you need to remove <pun_desc> from the template. You are obviously not replacing it so it is throwing up a validation error as an unrecognised tag.

Yeah, I commented out the line in header.php, forgot about main.tpl.

It validates now, I'm slowly getting the hang of it smile

Re: Minima look for PunBB

pen, by all means, the more people using it, the more it gets refined. 1.0 is the original and 1.1 is the version I'm currently running on my site.

Connor, yeah I noticed that but I can live with it. It's the only post that generates that many pages, so 99% of the time it looks fine.
