Ahaa! Thats great! Thanks.

I was confiused by the install directory.
So what you are saying is that those modules that not have other than english lang.files will not get destroyed in the strings?

Thanks again.

Firstly I would like to appologise, several of you have mentioned using PM instead of a live forum and you are right. My diplomacy could have been better.
I am not here seeking attention. I came here with a legitimate dispute, seeking a solution and for this I got insults, requests to prove my claim, swearing and other abuse.

What I do find disturbing is the complete lack of guilt and the arrogence from several of the posts. This person thinks she has done nothing wrong.

She wrote on her own forum:
Actually.... I never downloaded any theme. So i guess it can't actually be called a "convert".
The site i looked at had no "credit" displayed -
FYI, i dont download themes when i make them..., i look at them then and try to adapt them to a xoop based theme.
To be bound to his/her agreement, wouldnt i have had to found the package somewhere and agree to it?
And as far as the credit... i gave as much credit as i knew. I specifically indicated the names of the themes - that was as much as i knew.

That's ok, after reading that little temper tamptrum he threw, I'm just changing them so it wont be a convert anymore..... sheesh


It is irrelivent which theme(s), artwork or who made them that are being discussed. She deliberately saw something she liked and did her best to copy it. As I have said, by looking at the screenshots, it is more than the logo. There are other graphics used/copied/duplicated etc in those themes. There is no mention in her post advertising the themes that she saw them someplace else.

Many of you think my claims are stupid.
what would you think if you had duplicated a load of Disney artwork and they had you in court in under an hour? Would that be okay? Would you insult them? Would you think their claims were stupid? Or is that okay because they are a large corporation and I am just a crappy web designer?

As I have said on two occasions, I have no problem with people converting themes, providing they inform us. We request this for numerous reasons including;
1. It might already be in progress by someone else.
2. We can provide original files to help the creation.
3. Quality control - Bad work reflects on us.

As someone said Copyright enfringements are the way of life on the "WEB"
That may be true but it doesn't mean its legal or acceptable, and why should it be?

The simple solution to all this is to make your own original themes, not see something you like and copy/duplicate/steal it. If you want to do proper conversions then contact me and I will be happy to help you in anyway I can.

punivers:

Your image shows a right column with a background color we'll call X. This same color is defined as the background color for your right blocks.

In your theme.html file, you'll see that the right column is built using a TD tag labeled "rightcolumn".

Open your style.css file and look for the options related to this selector. You'll see there are four:

td#rightcolumn
td#rightcolumn th
td#rightcolumn div.blockTitle
td#rightcolumn div.blockContent

In the first one you'll have the background color for the whole column. In the last one, the one for the block. If you want these colors to be different, just change their values in the CSS file.

Don't forget to clear your cache and delete the files under templates_c to see the changes you've made.

Cheers.

Guerlot:

Go to System Admin > Preferences > General Settings. Then look for an option labeled "Default Comment Display Mode" and set it to Flat. Click on "Go!" to save your new setting. That's it.

Cheers.

navin:

You can try this. Make sure your custom block is defined as HTML code. Wrap all your content within a styled div tag, like this:

<div style="background-color: #123456">
Here goes your content
</div>

Just replace the color code for the one you want.

Cheers.

Xurumo:

There's no particular difficulty in doing this. You should have a folder named with the new language and containing the files with the necessary language constants. Copy that folder under the languages folder in your XOOPS root directory. That'll be enough to show in your admin side the language in your language selector; that'll also be enough for the global and general constants to appear in your new language.

You have to make sure that the modules also have, in their own language folder, a folder for your new language with the necessary files. Otherwise, you'll have the module's strings in english and the rest in your language.

Cheers.

marcdg:

Open your file theme.html. There's you'll find, just after the body tag, a table that holds the logo and has a place for a banner. The table reads:

Quote:

<table width="700" cellspacing="0">
<!--DWLayoutTable-->
<tr id="header">
<td width="702" height="62" valign="top"><a href=<{$xoops_url}> /><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>logo.gif" width="700" height="56" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
<tr id="header">
<td height="45">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>


There are several problems with this table, beginning with a fixed width and with the fact that it has two rows with the same id.

Change this code to:
Quote:

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0">
<!--DWLayoutTable-->
<tr id="header">
<td width="100%" height="62" valign="top"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href=<{$xoops_url}> /><img src"<{$xoops_imageurl}>logo.gif" width="700" height="56" alt="" /></a></div></td>
</tr>
</table>


This might do the trick.

Cheers
