that is a really layout you have.. i don't suppose there's a brief write-up anywhere about the mods/steps you took to get those features and that appearance on your forum?

No, not really...but I'll most likely release the theme when I'm done with it (or at least a similar theme) so when that time comes you could always look at the source files smile The news feature is a combination of the 'news generator plugin' and my own simple .php script.

I'm considering adding more features as well wink

I'm not able to customise too much.
I need a homepage like Gary made (http://dragonfighter.gary13579.info/cms.php)
Unfortunately, this home page was made for 1.2 dev so it's useless to got it.
I need a homepage which uses punbb forum style.

Ludo,

A page like that should be quite easy to make actually... All it would take is create a new .php file for the news page with the classes/tags you need, then create a simple admin plugin to change the settings etc.

I may look into it sometime soon, but I'm not sure that I'll need it if Connorhd releases his "mod" smile

Not a big deal, but I thought it'd be nice to get fixed smile

The help.php files doesn't validate to to an unclosed H4 tag.

Report from w3.org:
Line 110, column 40: end tag for element "h4" which is not open

I certainly didn't go the pretty URL route for search engine reasons, but somewhere in the transition from phpBB and ugly URLs to punBB and pretty URLs, Google started loving our forums. I'll even find our forums in the search results for random personal searches I do, and that never used to happen. I suppose you could also attribute it to the better XHTML markup of the pages, but something tells me page validity can't be weighted that much. Maybe search engines do like the pretty URLs. <shrug>

I'm thinking that reason could be that phpBB uses those horrible session variables in its URL's unlike PunBB..

Thanks,

Its just a modded Main.tpl to match the rest of the site layout.  Now if i can only get it to work and validate with 1.2.x  I will be happy.  I guess I will do the wrap in tables like you did. and of course clean the H-E-double hockey stick out of the code.

Actually, if you're going to continue using a fixed width I'd recommend you to just use CSS. It's actually not that difficult to get working smile

Not at all.  The site I linked you to is rather messy also.  I never got around to cleaning it up, because like 3 days after I finished it, 1.2 came out.

Doh!

I have to say, I quite like your layout smile

CodeXP:  I really like what you have done.  "thinking outside of the box"  budump ump, crash.  wink  I have just one question for you.  fFrst I should start off by telling you that I have a similar layout that was done for 1.1.5.  Actually the only thing that is similar is the rounded corners.  With tables its a piece of cake.  I have been struggling with the conversion of my layout to CSS-P so I can upgrade to 1.2.3.  I have not looked at the source but how did you get the rounded corners to work?

Peace, and TIA

Well, for the outer borders there was no other viable solution other than using tables. Of course, if I decided to use a fixed width it would work just fine with only CSS. Also, if I didn't use the shadow effect, but only a "clean" border it would work just fine as well smile

That being said, all of the inner borders are CSS and it's actually quite easy to do:

Here's the code for the nav bar:

<div class="s_container">
    <div class="left_nav_cap"></div>
        <div class="right_nav_cap"></div>
            <div class="s_nav"><pun_navlinks></div>
</div>

And here's the corresponding CSS:

.s_container{background: url('../img/style/Elegant_blue/center_nav.gif') repeat-x;}
.s_nav{font-weight:bold;font-size:small;white-space:nowrap;height:30px;}
.left_nav_cap{background: url('../img/style/Elegant_blue/left_nav_cap.gif') right no-repeat;height:30px;width:20px;white-space:nowrap;float:left;}
.right_nav_cap{background: url('../img/style/Elegant_blue/right_nav_cap.gif') left no-repeat;width:25px;height:30px;white-space:nowrap;float:right;}

(Hope you don't mind the messy code, I haven't started cleaning it up yet wink)

Hehe wink Wouldn't say that, but the news generator is definatly a very nice thing to have. I've just added a php file to get the news files and wrap it in the forum layout.

I've started adding a few more things to the theme; more specifically I've fixed a couple of IE layout bugs with the rounded borders (it was shifting the bottom part somewhat). Also, I've added classes for the news generator plugin and styled that as well [demo here] smile

Alternatively, you can do use the following code on the class: #punwrap

{margin: 0px auto 0px auto}

That code will always center any DIV element you want it to.. Change the 0px part to anything you want (it just adjusts the distance from the top of the page.

For those of you that thought that the style was to bright...I took the time to create a second version of it smile If want to check it out,
click here and evaluate.

For some reason, I actually like this one better but I'll continue to work on both of them until they're released.

That looks better, can we control that via CSS or do we need to also affect images?

You'll need to change the images as well, but when I release it I'll also release the original layered images so it should only take a few min. to do smile

The reason for this is the crappy PNG support in Internet Explorer sad

Maybe the background color where this is:

Thanks smile Took a while to get everything working as I wanted (damn Internet Explorer and its lack of proper CSS & PNG support mad)..

Lately I've been working on a new PunBB style (I love this stuff big_smile) and I just thought I'd ask what people thought of it. It's not finished yet, but what remains are mainly just a few tweaks here and here...


As with the previous style I posted here, this also uses a few images but the total size of them are just ~5k so it shouldn't slow things down smile

Here's the link: [Style demo]

Updated: The default style on the forum is at the moment a new version of this theme. If you want to change styles, log in with user/pass: test / punbb
