updating themes to 1.41

[krillmeed]

Is there a list around of what changes need to be made to 1.40 templates to make them compatable to the 1.41 version? I can do the changes myself to save time, but i have no idea what changes need to be made <img>

your best bet is to replace all your files and folders with the integra2 files EXCEPT these:
images folder
theme .cfg
theme .css
overall header
overal footer
index

for these youll have to compare files to be sure youve added everything

here are a few of the additions

theme.css - add:

Code: Select all

/* Mighty Gorgon - Full Album Pack - BEGIN */.forumline_left {     background-color]

for themes that use the up/down images on the ends of the qbar add:

[code]/* Nav bar images */.hdr_left{   background]

[b]theme.cfg[/b] - add:

find

[code]$images['forum_locked'] = "$current_template_images/folder_lock.gif" width="$folderbig_iw" height="$folderbig_ih" class="imgfolder";  [/code]

after, add

[code]$images['folder_posted'] = "$current_template_images/folder_own.gif" width="$folder_iw" height="$folder_ih" class="imgfolder";  [/code]

at the end of the file, add]  // Mighty Gorgon - Full Album Pack - BEGIN$images['icon_left_arrow3'] = "$current_template_images/icon_left_arrow3.gif";$images['icon_right_arrow3'] = "$current_template_images/icon_right_arrow3.gif";$images['no_thumbnail'] = "$current_template_images/nothumbnail.jpg";$images['spacer'] = "$current_template_images/spacer.gif";$images['mini_new_pictures'] = "$current_template_images/icon_minipost_new.gif";$images['mini_all_pic_view_mode'] = "$current_template_images/icon_mini_showall.gif";$images['icon_album'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/icon_album.gif";$images['manage_pic'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/manage_pic.gif";$images['upload_pic'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/upload_pic_2.gif";$images['download_pic'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/download.gif";$images['all_pic_view_mode'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/simple_view.gif";$images['normal_pic_view_mode'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/normal_view.gif";$images['show_all_pics'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/show_all_pics.gif";$images['show_all_ratings'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/show_all_ratings.gif";$images['show_all_comments'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/show_all_comments.gif";$images['orange_dot'] = "$current_template_images/orange_dot.png";$images['blue_dot'] = "$current_template_images/blue_dot.png";$images['green_dot'] = "$current_template_images/green_dot.png";$images['yellow_dot'] = "$current_template_images/yellow_dot.png";// Mighty Gorgon - Full Album Pack - END  //// CBACK CrackerTracker//$images['ctracker_key_icon']    = $current_template_path .

[code]{QMENUS}

after, add

[code]  <BEGIN><br><div><table>     <tr>         <td align="center" style="background-color]

youll also have to add the full album pack buttons

there is alot more. Ill add to this as I remember

[krillmeed]

I have tried a couple, so far so good, too soon to say if i messed it up

Basically it just loads another template made with very minimal pictures or anything that takes an time to load. The files you copied will contain all the necessary files and the code you added was just a link to switch your users to the other "template". You can tell if it is added if you see the LoFi link at the bottom, there are a few other changes you will need to add to templates as well, when I think of them or notice I will help add them here, one thing I noticed on your martial template was you didn't add the "Login Security" button to your menu. You can grab the code from Integra2's overall_header.tpl file.

I've been having to work weird hours which has prevented me from working on any templates the last 3 days but that's about to be over, like I said, when I get more time I will do more templates and add things I notice here

On a similar note, could someone tell me where to find instructions for creating a new integramod theme or editing an existing theme please?

[krillmeed]

Thanks Frost, i noticed now i missed a few things in the templates, i can really sympathise with you guys, its very time consuming, but a learning experience, give me time, i might even have a go at creating a few templates myself

On a similar note, could someone tell me where to find instructions for creating a new integramod theme or editing an existing theme please?

It's suggested that you just edit the default template to suit your needs. The default template was created by HelterSkelter under the same permissions as the original subSilver (I think, might ask him)

So you would just use the clone feature in eXtreme Styles Mod to clone the template, then you would just edit the new template. Delete/replace images, change .css values etc. If this is going to be a big request I can write a full tutorial on how to clone, then edit certain parts etc...

Again, permission is always a very important issue when dealing with other people's works. I don't think anyone minds if you edit their style, but editing and releasing as your own is a different story. Always respect and ask the original author.

I Request a full Guide please =)
everyone should request this!
would be helpful towards the community as well on getting more diffrent looks, and some people become theme developers so all the admins and mods dont have to stress so much on making themes and editing them to work with future releases. Thanks all!!!!! for all your hard work!

[found it]

If you wish to change certain colours for example of integra2 then you just need to edit the css to suit your needs....

If you want a theme that for example has been made for phpBB then there is an incredible amount of work involved depending on the detail of the theme is...

To ask if someone could make a guide would take an incredible amount of time trying to explain all the small details... and then offer continuous support where users do not understand something or find something in the code that is different...

I personally do not see it as being fair just to ask the question can someone make a guide as it is obvious that no one other than someone who makes themes know of the amount of work involved...

Also there is a large number of free themes available for 1.4.0 and even more for 1.4.1 eventually.....

Though you could spend the time looking at how to make them yourself which would save someone a lot of time writing an unlimited guide and full support....

i am slowly learning, and though time consuming, it gives you a sense of pride when it works at the end, not that it always does <img>

[darknights]

i wish i could make a theme, i though this would help me out, i just dont even know where to begin on making a theme....=(

[Helter]

this post is a good starting place to learn template design
http://www.integramod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27

look at the bottom of the first post for the "walk-through of making a new fisubice color"

*Note...This post was made for 140, but the same principles apply to 141

thanks for the reply ill check it out, Thanks so much =)

one thing I noticed on your martial template was you didn't add the "Login Security" button to your menu. You can grab the code from Integra2's overall_header.tpl file.

Frost ref the above I've been all through that file and I cant see anything in there that may be needed to be added to the TPL file. It looks to me that its a QBAR setting that needs adding.

If this is right can some kind soul please advise what it should be?
