I don't understand things it's telling me to do on this page.

http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/theme/index.html
I've got the template.html right I think. There were no errors in my code.

First the style.css. Here's my code after doing everything it told me to do.

Code: [Select]

And for theme.php upgrading I understand absolutly nothing it says on that page other than steps 1-3.

In the style.css code I've got the vanity code at the end too. Forgot to put that in in previous post.

Code: [Select]

#vanity a {
        display:block;
        width:57px;
        height:20px;
        margin: 3px 20px;
}
#vanity img {border:0}
#v_php {float:left;background-image:url(../../images/powered-php.gif);}
#v_php:hover {background-image:url(../../images/h_powered-php.gif);}
#v_mysql {float:left;background-image:url(../../images/powered-mysql.gif);}
#v_mysql:hover  {background-image:url(../../images/h_powered-mysql.gif);}
#v_xhtml {float:right;background-image:url(../../images/valid-xhtml10.gif);}
#v_xhtml:hover {background-image:url(../../images/h_valid-xhtml10.gif);}
#v_css {float:right;background-image:url(../../images/valid-css.gif);}
#v_css:hover{background-image:url(../../images/h_valid-css.gif);}

where's the link to your coppermine gallery? How should we advice if you don't post it?

[nikole]

Whoops!

http://www.harsh-light.org/adenisof/gallery/

[Joachim Müller]

Your custom theme doesn't work, the tokens {CUSTOM_HEADER}, {SYS_MENU}, {SUB_MENU}, {CUSTOM_FOOTER} and {VANITY} shine through. There's no need to validate the stylesheet yet, you should worry about that later. First, fix the hard errors in your custom theme.

[nikole]

I know those come through but that's what the upgrading thing told me to do but I'll take them out anyway I guess.

[Joachim Müller]

Fix them first anyway before taking care of the stylesheet. The stylesheet is only cosmetics, validating is only optional.

[nikole]

Okay I took them out of the code.

[Joachim Müller]

You mustn't remove the tokens, put them back in and make sure they are parsed as suggested.

[nikole]

But  I don't know where to put them. When I put them in the places the tutorial tells me to they show through.

[Joachim Müller]

you've messed with theme.php incorrectly then, or you haven't updated your cpg1.3.x theme.php as suggested. Put the tokens back into template.html. Then store a backup of your current theme.php. Next, copy the content of themes/classic/theme.php into themes/yourtheme/theme.php (overwriting everything in it). Check that the tokens are parsed then. Next step: edit theme.php if you're not happy with it by copying bits from themes/sample/theme.php that you want to see changed. This is all in the theme upgrade guide, please review it more carefully.

[nikole]

Okay I got it now. I did read that guide though. You explained it easier. The guide just confused me.
