Pirates

Gobo · January 11, 2007, 08:17:28 PM

A theme inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean and centered around it.

Demo Can Be Seen Here
The zip file contains the PSD for 2 sizes of headers: normal and wide. Also the font used is included in the zip file.

This theme was designed using SMF 1.1.1 default template and has been tested on IE7, FF2, and Opera 9 on the Windows Platform using a screen res of 1024 x 786, therefore optimal viewing res is the same.

This is a graphically heavy theme and my first one ever. I hope anyone who uses it likes it.

Just a small note:

The theme uses a fixed background, if you feel it is a bit 'jerky' you can easily set the background to moving by editing this line in the index.temlate.php file

Code Select


<body style="background-attachment: fixed; background-image: url(\''.$settings['images_url'].'/sea_back.jpg\');">

Replace with:

Code Select


<body style="background-image: url(\''.$settings['images_url'].'/sea_back.jpg\');">

And that will make the theme more fluid

enjoy

For people already using this theme - I over looked a small thing in the theme

Please fix it by uploading the style.css file attached to the theme folder

And the image attached to the /images/ folder

Thanks

Download these 2 files
Style.css (right click and save as)
Catbg2 Image (right click and save as)

i get the copyright problems....is there a code i need to get rid of the saying about copyright on the bottom?

Thanks

branded · January 13, 2007, 02:27:38 AM

Sorry, the copyright must be in the template.
Please notify this forum's administrator that this site is using an ILLEGAL copy of SMF!

thats what it say's on the bottom

Gobo · January 13, 2007, 05:02:59 AM

Please make sure of a few things...

1. That your forum version is 1.1.1, since this theme ws designed only for that version of SMF

2. Open you index.template.php file and make sure this part is there ', theme_copyright(), '

3. Check in the languages folder for file Index.English.php to make sure you have these parts in there:

Code Select


global $forum_copyright, $forum_version, $webmaster_email;

and

Code Select


$forum_copyright = '<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/" title="Simple Machines Forum" target="_blank">Powered by ' . $forum_version . '</a> | 
<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/about/copyright.php" title="Free Forum Software" target="_blank">SMF &copy; 2006, Simple Machines LLC</a>';

Also you can try to reupload JUST the index.template.php and Languages folder to the Pirates theme folder and see if that fixes it.

Hey Thank you very much for your theme ... coz my site is Pirates site... this is very suitable for my site http://da-pirates.com , but i have one problem, when i select option in current theme "Hide post group titles for grouped members?
Enabling this will not display a members post group title on the message view if they are assigned to a non-post based group." it still showing for membergroups as Newbie.. etc ... plz fix this problem .. ty once again

Thanks for letting me know - ill check it out and get back to u later today :up:

Gobo · January 14, 2007, 08:27:23 AM

I had a look and compared the default template to the pirates template

There is a slight modification I did which may have caused that...

To fix it, please open up Display.template.php file of the pirates theme and find:

Code Select


			// Show the member's primary group (like 'Administrator') if they have one.
			if (isset($message['member']['group']) && $message['member']['group'] != '')
				echo '
								', $message['member']['group'], '<br />';

			// Show the post group if and only if they have no other group or the option is on, and they are in a post group.
			if ((empty($settings['hide_post_group']) || $message['member']['group'] == '') && $message['member']['post_group'] != '')
			echo '
								', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';
				echo '
								', $message['member']['post_group'], '<br />';

Replace it with:

Code Select


		// Show the member's primary group (like 'Administrator') if they have one.
		if (isset($message['member']['group']) && $message['member']['group'] != '')
			echo '
								', $message['member']['group'], '<br />';

			// Show the post group if and only if they have no other group or the option is on, and they are in a post group.
			if ((empty($settings['hide_post_group']) || $message['member']['group'] == '') && $message['member']['post_group'] != '')
				echo '
								', $message['member']['post_group'], '<br />';
			echo '
								', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';
