Topic: Some Oxygen for Coppermine

[Copy&Paste]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to modify the classic theme of Coppermine to match the one in PunBB forum software.
I know it could have been done a lot better (I should be ported to divs to be tableless like punbb), but I was too short of time to do that, and my only objective was to obtain a "similar" look with the forum since the integration betwen coppermine and punbb is officially supported.

If you can improve this theme to look even more similar to original Oxygen punbb theme, please feel free to modify it and share with us smile

Thanks CPG && PunBB, I love you!

(Same topic at Coppermine Forums)

Demo - Download

Edit: added the demo

Re: Some Oxygen for Coppermine

Maybe soon .. we are fed up of the very OLD navigation of CPG which are perfect for NS3 ... but we have now powerful browsers : IE6 / 7, FF, Opera, Safari ...

http://www.sortons.net/photos/ and http://www.sortons.net/forum are the example of this integration 100% tableless.

But look at http://www.photos-concerts.com :  the base is coming from CPG, but it seems CPG is better for the navigation ... test, and you will see smile

When the code will be finished (we work on the admin), we'll do a new system gallery using dhtml, ajax and xhtml.

Wow, Rod, those sites are incredible, high level design... it makes the little effort putted on this theme almost insignificant smile
Btw, as you said, I'll wait to see this changes happen upstream... but I'm happy to hear that this classic web application is moving with the new technologies...

Ok, demo added for the theme, but now I'm embarrassed of showing such an insignificant think...  well, ummm, temporal look-a-like theme until the new times come to CPG.

Regards.

Re: Some Oxygen for Coppermine

have to say i like simkins original attempt, in fact i've used it on a couple of sites already (although i have altered the CSS slightly to alter the colourscheme to match the forum or site theme) - one site i've built, it was requested by the owner to the same design for a standalone coppermine gallery as they liked the layout on one of my own sites. 

my site - with punbb forum click here
Customer site - currently without forum click here

Rod's design looks impressive but doesn't really match the look of the original PunBB
