I would like to take my upgraded 8.0 site (once I finish) and make it black... having said that if there are any black skins out there that people are sharing please let me know... if not are there any of you who have made icons that go with a black skin that you would be willing to share? That's really the only piece that I cannot do, the icons for the site.
Thanks, ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

Ok, I was able to use some images/icons for my black theme from some WWF 7.x templates. Now I have a design question. I have seen where some have modded the navigation links at the top left and made them line up underneath their 'logo' or header image.
I did a quick google to find some examples and here are a couple that I found: http://www.daretcapital.com/daret_forum/default.asp - Example 1 http://forum.deepnetexplorer.com/forum/default.asp - Example 2 Can anyone assist me with where to change the code to do this? Thanks in advance! ToJaRo ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

| I can't remember what file it is off the top of my head, but if you look in the default.asp you will find a couple of include statements in the middle. One is to handle the header image and function links. Inside the file there is a simple table structure. Add a another <td> statment in there and you should be good. |

Thx for the info! Ok, so I have edited the nav buttons asp page by adding the </td> statement in various places and tested in order to attempt to get this to work but to no avail.... Do you happen to know which line would be appropriate? I placed the extra <td> in the 1st section of code on that page (table class="basicTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center"> <tr> <td rowspan="2") and got the bottom line to move but the top line remained in place... any ideas? Again thx for the help! ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

Actually let me correct that.... after removing the td i found that the second line stayed where it was... so i looked around and I had set the <td rowspan to 1 and it was actually what had moved it... What am I doing wrong? ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

OK, I am not sure if I am posting this in the right spot but I really need some assistance... I have beeen trying to figure it out for 4 days and still can't seem to figure it out... another thing I would like to know is how to change the entire forum to stay one static width instead of dynamically changing based on the size of the browser. In HTML using FP or Dreamweaver this is an easy fix but I can't seem to find the code in ASP. I've been using WWF for about a year and plan on purchasing the the forum software but I would like to get all these small kinks worked out before I do... best forum out there IMO. ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

To change the forums width so it stay's fixed... find... (in your css_style/default_style.css file)
Change this to your fixed width for example...
This should work. As for your other question, i use a very modified version of WWF so am unable to look into this for you. ------------- Handyman man? |

Bravo! It worked like a champ! I had to modify the other two table entries just below that statement to get it to work everywhere but I greatly appreciate the help!
Almost there with my V8 upgrade... is there any one out there that can assist me with moving the Navigation text below my image header? ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

WOOHOO - I figured it out!
%>
<table class="basicTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" align="center"> <tr> </td> <td rowspan="2"></td><% I had been placing the </td>before the <td rowspan> and after it but after the <% which was making it null... duh... sorry all the posts re: it... and thanks to swabuei for directing me in the right direction!
I will be making the purchase of WWF over the next few days as my thanks to borg for all his hard work! ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

Ok, another request... 
I have seen other forums that have customized the table_bg_image.gif image and used it instead of just a standard #xxxxxx format for the .tableSubLedger section of their site... I modded the table_bg_image.gif included in the forum_images folder of the site and placed it in the code on the default_style.css sheet but cannot get the image to appear where the color was... instead it defaults back to the background color set in the tableledger section. Any ideas? Another issue I am having is that the header image I created will center in IE but not Firefox or Mozilla... Is there a setting somewhere in ASP that I shoud change since I moved the Nav Icons down below the header image now? ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |
Posted By: ToJaRo

Ok, I can live with the table_bg_image for now until someone can assist with that... but why would IE center the image while Firefox left justifies it...
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

To put nav buttons on one line... Change... (remove code in red)

I played with some of the code in that page and I was able to solve the Firefox left justify problem by adding an <td align="center"> but it moved my nav buttons to the right side of the logo again... if i remove that code it moves the nav buttons to a single line below and left justifies the logo... any ideas on that? ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

The Navigation text is not going under the logo one line below... it starts to the right of the logo and wraps to the line under... and depending on your screen resolution (i have looked at it at 1024x764 and 1280x 1024) more text appears beside the logo the larger the resolution is. ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

ko... in the css/default_style.css I have now set the table width to 850px however in order to make all pages work like I want I have to set the code below to:
.tableBorder, .wwgAdTable{
border: 1px solid #000000; background-color: #000000; width: 850px; } That for some reason changes the size of the small calendars on the calendars page. Everything else lines up. All other pages work fine... What are those small calendars, ie the 2 below the actual month calendar, tied to as far as size in the code above? Is there any way of adding code to remedy this qwerk of mine?
Here is a visual:

Please scroll to the bottom of that page and have a look!

Thats a weird one that I'm in the process of setting up a test forum so i can have a place to try suggestions and test mods, i used to have one for my V.7 forum but so far haven't for V.8. When i set it up i'lll have a play around and see if can re-create your problem. ------------- Handyman man? |

Just an FYI.... The calendar size issue has been corrected with the release of 8.02 yesterday. I just went thru the change log of the new version and found where Borg has corrected this.
Many, many thanks Borg!!! ------------- ToJaRo http://www.thesoupbone.com - The SoupBone Community |

Do you think you could offer those icons as a download for other people? I'm not sure if you made them, but WebWiz lacks decent icons and I'm trying to build up a decent graphic-list for WebWiz. Anyway, looks nice. |

Example 2 can be achived by editing includes/header.asp includes/footer.asp includes/navigation_inc.asp (or exact i dont think) for example you edit header.asp file and put the following at the end:
then at the end of the Navigation_inc.asp (not exact) file enter the following to the bottom
now in the footer put the following
and your done - obviously you have to refine this a lot more to suit your needs, but thats just cosmetics the basic structure is there i'll try and refine this more tomorrow. you'll also want to remove the logo from the Admin area (via the Forum Configuration) page. ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |
