New theme: comicBook
« on: December 31, 2003, 06:51:41 am »

Hey, everyone. I tried to post this in "Hacks, Mods, Add-ons," but only moderators can post new topics there.

If you have ever seen the comicBook theme for phpBB, and if you think remotely like I do, you know it's pretty cool. Here's a theme for Coppermine that matches it (hopefully pretty well).

"Regular" users can't post on this board (that's what the description says), because we would have a lot of "mod requests" here if we allowed them to start threads. I moved your posting here - comicBook is indeed a really nice theme, although there are some problems with it. Don't get me wrong, I love the theme, but I had to apply some modifications:
  • paths to images and other resources in template.html mustn't link to
    Quote
    /gallery/themes/comicBook/whatever
    (absolute), but to the relative path
    Quote
    themes/comicBook/whatever
    (as you can't predict how people called their coppermine folder and how it's located inside their site structure).
  • Upper-/lower case doesn't make a difference on Windows, but on Lunix! That's why it mustn't be
    Quote
    themes/comicbook/whatever
    , but
    Quote
    themes/comicBook/whatever
    [/list:u]I modified your theme accordingly and put it into our download section as cpg1.2.1theme_comicBook.zip and integrated it into the demo as well.

    Cheers

This is a great theme. My favorite in phpBB & so glad to see it done here.
Many thanks to tqbrady.

I have 1 question...

The tables are made up of an orange bar & a gray bar. The gray bar however should be a grey dotted backgound.
The background img is in the template (background.jpg)

I guess its called from the style.php
There is a style .tableb that seems to call the background.

Everything looks just fine to me. I cant see whats wrong, Im going round in circles!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

use the styleguide theme that comes with cpg1.3.0 or greater and that is available on the demo page as well to find out what style class is responsible for what part of the display. Edit style.css to change the class' properties accordingly.

Not as it comes, that's why it's marked as for 1.2.

But it should be easy to convert to 1.3x.  if you look in the docs folder of your 1.3 download, there is a file theme.htm, which if you open, tells you how to convert 1.2x themes to work with 1.3.
