Have you checked that the database settings in config.php are correct?

No, I'm talking about the images that you can find in /img. Cobalt_new.png, Lithium_new.png, Mercury_new.png etc. If you add a new css file you also have to create an image. It's the new post icon that appears on the index page.

Got it. Will do.

I've added a new class to the style files like you recommended. The class is named puntitle and by default looks like this:

.puntitle {
    font-size: 14px;
    font-weight: bold
}

I've also changed the template files so that the title uses this class. The changes are made for PunBB 1.1.

If you have any other good suggestions for the css stuff, I'd be glad to hear it.

Edit: Oh, and by the way. The additions since the last version look good. Perhaps you should mention something about the image that has to be created for styles? About it being a PNG and what size etc.

Glad you like it so far. I just spotted a mistake which I have now corrected. I have just worked out your naming system for styles, better late than never smile

I am a bit confused, what do you mean about the image that has to be created for styles? Are you talking about a guide on how to add graphics as backgrounds etc or do you mean the images I am using for the skinning guide?

So far I can't think of any other changes I would make to the CSS. Of course there is some fancy stuff that could be done like turning the menu into rollover buttons just using CSS (no graphics) but thats more something for individuals to do in their own skins.

Now I had better get on and deal with Part 2 which covers the text elements of the board.

Thanks for the encouragement Arne. I have now finished Part 1 i.e. the part dealing with the table elements apart from a little tidying up. I have updated the uploaded file which is at the same link as before.

BTW. If anybody spots any errors could they please let me know.

Thanks kennel, I will get it done a.s.a.p. Please don't tell me you are going to change the class names in v.1.1 smile

Off topic, this is really a suggestion rather than anything else. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make the board name a separate style. What I have done is to create a class which is .boarditle{} in the stylesheet and then change the relevant part of the main template. Doing it this way means users could for example have a 24px board name in bright organge if they wanted to without messing up anything else.

Hi,

I have started work on a skinning guide. If anybody thinks this is a good idea and/or would find it useful let me know and I will finish it within the next day or two. Its nothing spectucular, I've just taken screen captures of various pages of the board and annotated them with the names of relevant styles in the stylesheet. I am also planning to put in some helpful hints etc.

If anybody wants to take a look at what I have got so far you can download the first couple of pages in .pdf format here

EDIT

Finished it subject to checking.

KokaineWhite, this is what you would expect if you had cookies disabled in your browser or blocked by a security app/popup stopper/add blocker of some kind. I just tried disabling cookies on my machine and I couldn't login to this forum or to the PunBB installation on my local machine.

Just out of curiosity, is there any easy way around this i.e. letting people who are blocking cookies login or would it have to be a rewrite to use sessions instead.

Hi, first of all, thanks for the great forum. I just spent ages ripping the surplus bits out of Invision Board to get it working similar to Punbb. Needless to say I am going to be sticking to Punbb from now on.

My query was this. I have noticed that quotations do not seem to wrap if they contain long lines. The result is you get one row in a topic which is much wider than the others and actually wider than the screen resulting in horizontal scrolling. Is this deliberate to allow for people posting code and other such items where a wrap is undesirable or is it a bug?. An example would be Arne's post today entitled Recent Discussions on Frontpages.
