Hi everyone,
Oh my gosh -- so many kind souls! Thank you Niecher, your 2nd set of files is very close. Feel better soon, Phill
Attached is a screenshot of Niecher's 2nd set of files installed into my theme, including some colored rectangles to help illustrate certain areas.
For Andre, when I said it looked like I wasn't logged in, please see the green and yellow rectangles. It's the forum part of the theme that looks like I'm not logged in. And which of course I realize that's probably because Niecher and Phill Luckhurst, neither one could actually be logged into the forum when they picked up the source code.
I'm not clear if those parts can ever be made to be functional? By functional, I mean that if a member is logged in, can it be made to look like the member is logged in when they are, and look like they're not logged in when they aren't. If so, I'm guessing you'll need the source code from a logged in state? Or maybe there will be a way for me to copy the changes Niecher made into the proper "logged in" codes?
For the pink rectangle. I noticed that Niecher had actually changed the blue tone of most of the dark blue bars to match my forum colors, which is something that I hoped to do later, when I have a better understanding of the various codes. However, (in the pink rectangle) the bar with the dropdown menus (from classic_w_drop) and all the buttons, are still in the original tone of blue. If you tell me where it is, I can probably change that myself. Or if it's easier for someone to just make a new file....well, I would appreciate whatever is easiest for you.
The only other area that seems "off" is the amount of space (#f6f6f6) between the coppermine part and the forum part, which I've indicated with dashed lines. The area between the blue dashed line and black dashed line seems to wide, to me. I'm guessing it's a combination of padding from coppermine and padding from the forum (portal). If that space could be cut in half (roughly) I think that would do the trick. But I don't know where to look or exactly what to change. If it turns out to be too much work to change that though, I could probably live with it
And 1 last question. If we can get my forum's theme to work for Coppermine, like Niecher's files show, I won't need A) the gallery name and description or B) the link back to the forum, which in the classic_w_drop is in the Albums dropdown. So those can be changed in the same way they were created, i.e. Coppermine's Config page, correct?
Thank you all so very much!
