Search options (Page 4 of 5)

I edited the above post to say more...

I think it's where i've got my wrapper, perhaps it falls before the #punindex comes in?

Do you mean use CSS to create an "if" condition?

I'm trying to change the header image <div class="headone"> which css defines containing a 250px tall image on every page.

I'd like to keep that on the index, and within a forum, or a topic, exchange it for a 100px image contained as the background of <div class="headtwo">

I didn't think i could do that purely with CSS.

or did you mean use an if somewhere in viewtopic and viewforum?

awesome!

thank you.

here's the final css i used (jicai)

/* For the first post */

div.firstpost h2, 
div.firstpost div.box, div.firstpost div.postright, 
div.firstpost div.postfootright, 
div.firstpost div.postleft, div.firstpost div.postfootleft {
    background-color: #fff
}
div.firstpost div.postright, 
div.firstpost div.postfootright, 
div.firstpost div.postfootleft {
    border-left-color: #fff
}

div.firstpost div.postright {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-right: 25px;
}

div.firstpost div.postfootleft, 
div.firstpost div.postfootright {
padding-bottom: 10px;
}

/* End first post style */

Intersting...

Ok, i see the equasion already there in viewtopic.php:

<?php if (($post_count + $start_from) == 1) echo ' firstpost'; ?>

dunnoe how i missed this before (well, yeah i do...)

The classes involved are:
firstpost

blockpost
h2
conr
box
inbox
postleft
usertitle
postavatar
postright
h3
postmsg
postsignature
hr
clearer
postfootleft
postfootright

div
dl
dt
dd

a simple change to the tags i want to change (adding .firstpost) should do it?

could it really be as simple as that?

heh...

yeah, good call.

My votes:

WordPress, Punbb, and something very simple like Folderblog, or SPG for the gallery.

Because the first hurdle here is integration of front and back end?

All CSS and a little php.

something complex like Gallery, or Coppemine would demand a secondary backend, whereas SPG etc, only require a first time setup, styling, and then uploading.

WP could easily be modified to upload those images (by type) into the new locations for gallery output.

If you would like to style your feeds like mine

I wrote up a little tutorial on how to do it here

: )

I've been thinking about this for a long time.

Gamerz (from the WP forums) was talking about getting something like this working for phpbb a while back but his example link was broken, and nothing ever came of it.

Also, Matt, from WP developed bbPress, and writes a little in the dev list about how integrating the two should be easy to do.

imagine a WP post, and a bbPress series of responses? heavy...

As for punnbb:

My thoughts have been that it would be best to first create a uniformed look and feel.

either get punbb to look like your WP install
or your wordpress install to look like your bunbb design.

op ed:
(this is important for continuity... if you want to use one or the other as the "front end" of your site then it is essential. usually, in communities, when people find your message board, they just directly link there, and never read your pages or news sections again.)

once you have them looking very much the same, the easiest thing to do would be to disable comments on WordPres, and altar the "comments" link globally, and individually in WP.

modfy the link to either load the board inline below the post, or as a popup.

The tricky part is to get the number of replies between the two applications. but, punnbb has a superb rss addition that alexking (also a wordpress benefactor) developed.

possible you could maintain those counts on your main site with a feed.

i am not proficient in php to otherwise determine how you could hard code a function to go see how many replies there have been, and then output the number on the wordpress page.

(however, that code would end this issue, and solved the problem completely!)

dunnoe if my reply is even helpful...

good luck.

I updated to 1.2.5 manually, and then re applied the changes for this mod and it's working perfectly now.

I've installed this, and it's great.

One question:
When a user enters a comment the page is reloaded to the top of the page.
Any way to have only the chatbox itself reload?
