This part is the reason your fieldset's would look different in IE:

CrystalBlue.css:

.pun DIV>FIELDSET {BORDER-COLOR: #999999}

CrystalBlue_cs.css:

DIV>FIELDSET {

Just remove the ">" character from those lines and it should work itself out smile

Very nice Submerged style and the gallery looks great.
Do you plan to make a gallery mod with all your modifications ?

Thanks smile

I kinda doubt I'll be releasing the gallery modifications as it is now. I'd much prefer to wait for PunBB 1.3 and write an extension from scratch, as there are still many things I'd like to add but which is harder to do seeing as it's based on another mod.

I see. So you'd actually have to release it as a modification.
It'd be great if you'd release it though wink

Well, it could be released as just a style, but there would be places where you couldn't get rounded borders on both the left & right side if I did. The problem is that Paul (he's the one doing the markup, right?) for the most part have used the following format for the headers

<h2><span>text</span></h2>

But there are places where the SPAN tag is missing. This leaves you with just one tag to style, thus causing problems. Of course, if you could live with a fixed-width version of the style, you could make the entire H2 graphics into a single image, rounded on both sides, but I don't really like that as a solution...

Thanks for the comments everyone!

@PSPpimp: I write all my styles in a good text editor, like Ultraedit or Topstyle, and do the graphics in Photoshop. CSS is easy enough to learn, so my suggestion would be to just look at the source code of what others have made & try to learn from it. That's how I got started smile

@elbekko: Releasing it? I hadn't thought of it until now, but I'll consider it. The problem with releasing the Submerged style is that is would require a few minor modifications to PunBB's source code, as there are places where there are some inconsistent use of certain HTML tags. Nothing that a search & replace would fix in a few minutes though, so if I release it I'd just have to write down the line numbers & files to change... Are there others interested in me releasing that skin?

Been a while since I last started a topic here, so I thought it was about time I did so again..

As some of you might remember, I've had a few different PunBB sites over the last few years, and this time it's something new again. I've always been into customizing my desktop, and "post your desktop" threads have always been quite popular over at the forum where I spend much of my time. One of the problems with those threads though was that nobody seemed to keep track of the "clean" versions of peoples wallpapers, so I thought such a site would be a good idea. I had an earlier version running on Gallery2 but as time passed, I found it to be way overkill for my needs. The memory requirements was absurd, and I didn't need most of the features it offered.... So, I modified that gallery mod for PunBB (there's actually quite a lot of tweaks & additions to it), wrote a quick little content converter for the old G2 images, and this is how it turned out. There will still be work done on it, but it serves its purpose quite well as it stands. The forum isn't really that active, but that's to be expected as we do most of our discussions over at the PA forums...

Anyway, here's the link: http://gallery.thesecondscreen.com ... Let me know what you think, as I'm always open for suggestions smile

EDIT: Forgot to mention, i've made 3 different styles for the site so far (well, one is the old one I made for my old website, and another is a reworked version of that one) and I'm working on more as I always find things I dislike about them after I've made them... To check them out, either create an account, or log in with the following info:

CodeXP, it's a very confusing time in the console wars and I do understand what you're saying. I may hold off for a while on getting a new console, my PS2 is doing just fine for now.

Yeah, it really is and with the prices being what they are today, I don't think waiting is a bad idea smile

People say they're going downhill. Their other markets hasn't been very good lately. Maybe they are desperate?

Also remember that despise that insane price, they lose money on every sold unit tongue  (That's not saying they aren't making money from licenses and other stuff, I'm talking hardware)

I would think that the main reason for them loosing money on the PS3 is that they're trying to force a blu-ray player on people. Sure, I can see their reason for doing this as Sony is also making movies and are one of the larger companies behind the format, but for most people today (and even 5 years down the line) this is pretty pointless. Not only do we not know what format will "win" the next-gen DVD wars, but at least in Europe HDTV's are a hard sell as there are *very* few channels broadcasting in those formats, and proper HDTV's are still to expensive. I would have preferred it if they went the same path as Microsoft with their Xbox 360 and sold the player as an addon, thus reducing the price of the console itself.

So I'm starting to lean on waiting for a PS3, surfing the web with Firefox on my LCD TV appeals to me.

You know, you could also be surfing the web with the Wii using its native version of Opera, for almost 1/3 of the price of a PS3. If I ever get a PS3, it will not be until it gets some worthwhile games (it doesn't really have any at this point) and the price drops to the point where us mortal ones can afford one. There's no way in <bleep> I'm paying $600 for a console...ever. For that price, I could just as well buy both a Wii and a Xbox 360...or alternatively build a very nice HTPC. I'm finding if increasingly difficult to justify buying any game or audio related equipment from Sony lately, what with all their insane & arrogant statements/lies.

EDIT: Also, the $600 price isn't really what we'll be paying here in Euro-land either. I just checked Komplett.no, and converting the Norwegian price to green ones would equal over $900 USD

Cool thanks for the help

im going through the page and cleaning it up...I did it a long time ago and havent noticed any trouble with it until now.

I havent found the solution to the problem yet but I'll post once I do find what it was.

That's one of the problems with different browsers, they all handle errors differently. It might be a good idea to use the W3C validator (or a local tool as CSE HTML Validator or Tidy) during development, as if you do it will be easier to spot potential problems early on smile

Ive fixed a few of the problems from your first post

Are you saying here:

You have *many* occurences of non-processed PunBB template tags in your code. Example:
Code:

</pun_footer></pun_main></pun_announcement>

that I don't need to close these...so I can just have <pun_footer> without the second </pun_footer>.

Cheers

Nick

Yeah, as Smartys mentioned, those will be replaced so there's no need to close them. If you look at header.php, you'll see several examples on how this works.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. After looking at that Safari screenshot, I would have to say that it's not adding any line-breaks at all. It's simply missing, or ignoring, the "display: inline" property on your list-items from the CSS.

While I'm not on a Mac, I can only assume that at least some of your errors are occuring due to one of the more or less big errors in your code.

A few examples:

1. This suddently occurs in the middle of your code, and not only on the top as it should be:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

2. Not sure if this could cause problems, but it's usually a bad idea to double-link the same stylesheet as you've done here:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/image_upload.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/image_upload.css" />

3. I'm getting a 404 on this stylesheet:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/hardwired/style.css" />

4. You have *many* occurences of non-processed PunBB template tags in your code. Example:

</pun_footer></pun_main></pun_announcement>

5. You also have dozens of unclosed & invalid tags.


You might want to clean all that up before even attempting to do any further troubleshooting smile

Nice job. Are you going to integrate the "look and feel" of the rest of the site into the forums? Shouldn't be too much problems.

Finally got around to integrating the "look and feel" for the 1.0 release of musikCube. It got to the front page of digg so some nice traffic this weekend (which is why I assume this thread got suddenly bumped from over a year ago).

Some nice improvements to musikCube also, check it out.

I really like musikCube, and have been eagerly awaiting the 1.0 final release. If you ever find the time & resources to implement ReplayGain & improve the unicode support, I'd switch over from foobar2000 in no time smile

You see, PMS mod is disabled for guests (i.e. not visible), thus in the very beginning it checks whether the user is logged in and tells him to do so if not.

if ($pun_user['is_guest'])
    message($lang_common['Login required']);

But, I've searched and didn't find entry 'Login required' in lang\English\common.php (or anywhere else)
I've updated common.php with this entry and forum failed with blank page (it failed to parse common.php to $lang_common I think)

Is it wrong to add lines to lang files?

Now I'm going to add Login  required entry to mod's lang file (pms.php) and refer to that like $lang_pms['Login required'].

Any suggestions?

There's no problem adding new entries to the language files, but you need to make sure that the syntax of the array is correct. To take an example, the default lang/English/common.php ends with this:

'Posted'                =>    'Posted'    // The date/time a topic was started

);

Adding a new line at the end of the array will fail unless you put a comma (,) and the end of the line before it. What it should look like after you've added that line of yours is:

'Posted'                =>    'Posted',    // The date/time a topic was started
'Login required'        =>    'Text to display if not logged in'

);

While I can't really give you any good advice in building this particular server, what I do know is that SATA drives are actually hot-swappable. Of course, you could also take a look at a SCSI RAID setup, although it will be more expensive and made a whole lot more noise.

You could also have done something like this:

It wouldn't be exactly the same, but you would have clearly separated the topic title & the original posters name, without having to modify any of the source smile

Yes.  The DS is simply amazing and I really did not expect to find such a good offerings of intuitive games from it either, but the DS has really stood up and amazed me.

It's strange really, because I wasn't really interested in the DS at first. It wasn't until I watched a video of Ouendan that I suddenly just had to get one. I've never had a habit of importing games, but this game is the exception. It's just pure concentrated fun on a cartridge. Love it! big_smile

#punviewtopic li#navindex a,
#punpost li#navindex a,
#punedit li#navindex a,
#punuserlist li#navuserlist a,

#punmisc li#navprofile a,
#punadmin li#navadmin a,
#punregister li#navregister a,
#punlogin li#navlogin a {
   /* Add your style here */
}

That will take care of all(?) of PunBB's default pages.

As this mod uses the default extern.php, you'd have to mod that file to do this. I wanted this script to be as easy as possible to implement so I will most likely not add this, but it shouldn't really be that hard to do yourself smile

@buzzworkers: Try re-downloading the script (I've added a working link to the original post again). It sounds as if you got the version released before I fixed a bug with FF.

@jingoglia: I'll have to see about that, but the thing is, this would also require some modifications of the original extern.php, and I don't really want that...
