Title: Welcome jeza!
Post by: Ken on December 16, 2009, 11:37:18 AM
Lets give a large Welcome Aboard to jeza.  :bigthumb:

For those who may not know... Jeza is the on the Support Staff for the SMF Arcade that we use here on the FamilyForum and is the designer of the 'Skin' that we use to dress up the Arcade display with all those extra stats.

We're glad you're here Jeza... Welcome.  :happy:

Hi Ken, I like the smilies
 :bigcheese:

Little bit more work on the skin though, the left and middle headers need setting independantly, they're a bit big. Only noticed here.
 :opps:

Thanks for the welcone and hello to all.

Thanks Jeza.

The skin looks pretty good to me as is... did you look at it in the other forum themes? (there's a theme changer block on the lower left of the forum page)

This current theme will only be up through the Christmas holiday, after that is kind of open at this point, although I'm kind of favoring the WorkDesk2 that you'll find in the changer.

Yep I checked all the themes, some nice ones there.
Its only a slight formatting issue on a couple of them, some display ok.
I should have tested on a load of skins eh, instead of the two three I have.
 :cry2:

Post by: Ken on December 16, 2009, 12:17:55 PM
Yeah, maybe so... but the trouble is that we're all currently making the transition from SMF1x to SMF2x so things can easily get kind of track here and there.

No worries really Jeza, you're lots further ahead than some folks are with their Mods.   :2thumbs:

BTW... if you're needing a testing forum I've got one where the arcade could be set up.

Kind thought Ken and thanks. However Skhilled has kindly provided me with no less than two test sites, he's been a real help and is a dimond geezer.
 :cheers:

May I ask, are the themes here SMF or TP?
Title: Re: Welcome jeza!
Post by: Ken on December 16, 2009, 12:38:14 PM
Aqua and WorkDesk2 are Bloc premium themes and the way he's coding them now they will work with just SMF2RC2, or with SMF/TP... that's easier on him in the long run because he is not having to write two different sets of code for the same theme.

The X-Mas theme that is the current FF default and the SilentWave are both by DzinerStudio, from their free collection. I think these are the only two they have for SMF2RC2 at this time.

Mostly I try to run Bloc's premium themes because I like them and because I know that they will work good with SMF/TP.  :disted:

Hello Les
 :wave:

I met Ken on a battle site, and every time I turned around he was attacking me. There no battle here but I'm keeping me eye on him anyways.
 :yikes:

Ken, skins fixed.
You can leave as is if you're happy or I'll attach the file, up to you.
I will update the package in a bit and am just glad I found the issue.

I'm not taking me chainmail off.....just in case.
 :beg:


The package is updated, I thought there was a problem with the aqua theme, but its just a case of the icons not being moved there phew.
All seems in order now.
 :undecided2:
Title: Re: Welcome jeza!
Post by: Ken on December 16, 2009, 04:09:06 PM
I'll take care of those icons soon.

On the updated skin, should the old one be uninstalled first, or just upload the new one?
Title: Re: Welcome jeza!
Post by: jeza on December 16, 2009, 04:16:15 PM
Yes uninstall the old one first, OR just upload the attached file.
Title: Re: Welcome jeza!
Post by: Ken on December 16, 2009, 04:18:17 PM
OK, the icons for Aqua are copied over.
Title: Re: Welcome jeza!
Post by: Ken on December 16, 2009, 04:25:05 PM
OK... so where do the Jeza.template.php go?  :up2some:

Hang on Ken, if you have removed the skin, you'll need to reinstall.
It was a one OR the other not both.
 :innocent:
Title: Re: Welcome jeza!
Post by: jeza on December 16, 2009, 04:35:39 PM
Ah you've done it.
All looks so much better now.

Thanks for your help on this m8, I apprecieate it.

 :innocent:

Yes, I finally figured that out.  :opps:

I was looking for the Jeza.template.php after uninstalling the skin so the file was missing from the default folder... of course!

Once I realized my mistake I hurried up trying to fix it and post back before you did.  :hah:
Although I did download the new file you posted on SMFArcade it wasn't used, instead the template file was replaced with the one you attached.

And it is for sure a benefit to me because the FF gets a great looking skin out of the deal.  :happy:
