[Acedeal]

Forum software updated to 3.5.x from 3.0.8
Lot of new features;

little bug => click on portal and it brings you here: http://../index.php

[Warcuddle]

yep thats what i get to :D

[-=DoW=- The Fan]

So how do I go about changing (designing) styles??

[-=DoW=- Boomer]

Nice one Tommy For a minute then I thought we might be going back to you know were :lol:

[Acedeal]

New warcraft style added for you WoW fans
bottom of forums should be a pull down to change the styles..

[Warcuddle]

nice done...

[-=DoW=- GOPfan]

Wow Ace. You continue to amaze me with your SKILLS! This looks really great!!

[-=DoW=- halfdolla]

it switch styles on the first page but when you go to the threads it goes back to default, so prolly will change when Ace finds the one he wants!!

by the way Ace i thought the wow style was pretty cool!! gj and thanks for your hard work

[Acedeal]

by the way Ace i thought the wow style was pretty cool!! gj and thanks for your hard work
reason it changes back and forth is;
the different forums had aao style/ and a aao/wow modifyed style.
those styles don't exist anymore so it falls back to a default syyle.

[CrazySnyper]

Wow! That WoW style is beautifully done! Nice work!

[Acedeal]

Who wants to work on the images on the top and bottom-
that bar that goes accross the top looks lame, it should curve or at least stop instead of doing the full width of the forums.

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

Can I suggest a lighter colored text? Or shall I go experiment myself? ;) I don't wanna be steppin on your toes. :)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

BTW I have the official Warcraft font - Folkard - if anyone wishes I can send it to them.

[Acedeal]

what color you want--
ffffff <-white
or a variation of white--

feel free to play :)

just remeber the settings-
need me to walk ya though changing them?

[Acedeal]

BTW I have the official Warcraft font - Folkard - if anyone wishes I can send it to them.

I thought that Alliance Regular SWFTE was the font ?
It is free on http://www.elefuns.com/ and is called Alliance Regular SWFTE. You just need to register to download it.

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

From what I've read I thought it was Folkard. Been awhile and I can't remember where I read that but it looks right.

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

WoW page example

[-=DoW=- The Fan]

I would like to have a go at designing color schemes and stuff. Where do I get the templates, and what program should I use.

I have Photoshop CS

[CrazySnyper]

One little thing I just noticed, no big deal, but down at the very bottom where you have the "this stuff belongs to Blizard" disclaimer, in front of each little copyright sign there is one of those funny "A"s with a little arrow over top.

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

fixed for the nitpickers :)

[-=DoW=- SledgeHammer]

Smokie, you last line in your sig is yellow and difficult to read when using the WoW template. Being that is is the most truth in your sig, I figured you'd want it seen. Not to notpick, but...

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

better?
:)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

workin on theme colors still, recommendations?

I believe the Silvermoon server is in California so it should be PST. I live here in Nor. Cal. and the server time always matches my local time.

[Acedeal]

I believe the Silvermoon server is in California so it should be PST. I live here in Nor. Cal. and the server time always matches my local time.

Updated Server times-
Also, 2 WoW type themes-
Warcraft1 is the one smokie is working on which is a lighter version
WoW is the one I am working on which is a darker version
Also,
Darkness theme installed, which is the one most of us are used to.
The theme called dark will be switched to the AAO headers

So pick your themes and let me/smokie know what needs to be added fixed, changed. Just be sure and let us know the theme name-
thanks!

[-=DoW=- Hean]

The WOW themes looks very nice. Can the AAO section have something similar? And who can do it.....I can't sry...

[-=DoW=- SledgeHammer]

Ace, your theme that you're woking on now, WoW; has no "portal" link at the top. I need my portal button! How will I get home without my portal button!!??

[-=DoW=- The_Ultim8]

Ace, can you add another WoW styled template which i can be supervising getting changed into AAO style?

[Tatmtt2120]

I agree with Sledge, I need a portal button. I use it all the time to check to see who is on TS or the forums.

so is the time wrong in the WoW theme?

if 1900 GMT it's 2100 CET ?

==
Portal / forum link added to WoW theme

==
Search by days / hrs added to the new post thing-

===
Portal thing added to all templates--

Just FYI, we're not wroking on the defaul template so don't expect that one to be updated anytime soon :)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

WoW server time and PST is correct

[-=DoW=- SledgeHammer]

Ummm, spellcheck!!!!

Smokie, you should know better... leaving me to my own vises when it comes to spelling could get ugly!

[Acedeal]

WoW server time and PST is correct
thanks!

Smokie, if you want to change the colors of the text in the posts, and just the text of the post-
go to templates,
all style options
all the way towards the bottm, I added some new css stuff
just the postbit from;

.postbody { font-size : 12px; line-height: 18px}
to

.postbody { font-size : 12px; color : #928f6c line-height: 18px}

then go to the template,
change the postbit_legacy template
change this line

<!-- message -->
<div> id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
<!-- / message -->
to

<!-- message -->
<div class="postbody" id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]
</div>
<!-- / message -->

the postbody css will now control just the text in the post instead of the entire forums..
by default I think it uses that tinyfont or whatever that css was called--

[Acedeal]

Ace, can you add another WoW styled template which i can be supervising getting changed into AAO style?

how ya going to edit it?
you would have to do it offline, then save me a xxxx_template.xml file
with the correct paths, names etc in it..

[Acedeal]

Also,
you guys need to update your profiles with your skype info, and any other missing info-
thanks!

[-=DoW=- mark 3031]

i got lost in this post... i got the part that the forums changed. i figured that out by myself.

am i suppose to do fancy stuff now when i post?

[Acedeal]

Ummm, spellcheck!!!!

Smokie, you should know better... leaving me to my own vises when it comes to spelling could get ugly!

it's got some built in POS spell checker for IE users only-
I'll be deleting that POS and installing a real spell checker later tonight-

[-=DoW=- Boomer]

so is the time wrong in the WoW theme?
shows +2 from Gtm time
if 1900 GMT it's 2100 CET ?

The GMT is not wrong that is gmt
But we are now plus + 1 hr

It would make it easier if you did put the uk clock forward.
So if we post a match by that clock then the guys states side can forget about the plus one stuff..

just a thought

I don't have a clue what you are talking about-- :)
I'm working on the WoW template-
Is that time in the WoW template correct-
if not, give me the exact + or - from GMT that you are--
If GMT is wrong, then give me the correct Time :)

All I know is I am -6 from GMT--then -5 during DST I think it is--

[CrazySnyper]

You could put up Alaska time :). After all theres more square miles of US land in the Alaska time zone than any other Im guessing (I should look that up).

[Acedeal]

Smokie,
Spell checker backend installed-
need you to edit your template, so that it is accessible to the minions..

You need to make edits to;
each template where you would like to add a Spell checker, do the following edits (Example: editpost, newreply, newthread, etc.)

A. Find:

</head>
Add before:

<script src="vbspell.js"></script>

make sure it's the </head>

B. Find: (anywhere in the body of the template-- 99.9% of the time it's at the top)

$navbar
Add after:

<form name="spell_form" id="spell_form" method="POST" target="spellWindow" action="vbspell.php">
<input type="hidden" name="spell_formname" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="spell_fieldname" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="spellstring" value="">
</form>
C. Find the submit and preview buttons:

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" value="$vbphrase[save_changes]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="$vbphrase[preview_changes]" accesskey="p" tabindex="1" />
Add below:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />


now the fun part :)
Other templates:

Optional: Other Templates that contain edit boxes are:
USERCP_SHELL
Just add A before the </head section
and
B after the $navbar. Required for pm_newpm and modifysignature.
editpost

Calendar Templates: calendar_edit
do A and B but for C
look for

<input type="reset" class="button" value="$vbphrase[reset_fields]" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" />
and after add

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />

New Posting Templates: newreply, newthread

Quick reply: . Put change A and B in showthread, as the rest, and use this for step C:
find

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="this.form.clickedelm.value = this.value" />


New Posting Templates: newreply, newthread

Quick reply: . Put change A and B in showthread, as the rest, and use this for step C:
find

<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" accesskey="x" title="(Alt + X)" name="preview" tabindex="3" id="qr_preview" onclick="this.form.clickedelm.value = this.value" />
add after
<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('qrform', '$editorid', '2');" />

For quick edit in postbit_quickedit, use this for step C (A and B are in showthread):
find

<input type="button" class="button" tabindex="1" accesskey="p" value="$vbphrase[go_advanced]" id="{$editorid}_adv" />
After add this:

<input type="button" class="button" value="Spell Check" onClick="spellCheck('vbform', '$editorid', '2');" />



Let me know if you get lost :)

Don't know if somebody told you yet, but in Europe we do have summer and winter time. Summertime last from last weekend in March to last weekend in September. Wintertime in CET is GMT +1 hour and summertime is GMT +2 hour. Grate Britain is running in winter GMT +/- 0 and in summer GMT +1.

[-=DoW=- Boomer]

so is the time wrong in the WoW theme?
shows +2 from Gtm time

Very sorry to confuse you Ace I was just pointing out the fact that it is now
GMT + 1 we are now in summer time,And I thought that if you where to put
the UK clock forward 1hr it may save a lot of confusion with the guys in
the US..

Sorry if Im in the wrong section of the forums

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

Land of the gits? lol

[-=DoW=- Boomer]

I just want gmt forward 1hr is all :(

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

Boomer he wants a name for it. GMT doesn't go forward. He wants a name for the timezone.

If nothing else Ace just name it UK Time and make it GMT+1.

[-=DoW=- Hean]

Boomer he wants a name for it. GMT doesn't go forward. He wants a name for the timezone.

If nothing else Ace just name it UK Time and make it GMT+1.

In the Danish Army we called GMT ZULU time. That means GB is ALPHA Time, CET = BRAVO, Eastern Europe = Charlie etc etc etc.
Does that help...........?

[-=DoW=- resqman]

God y'all are confusing me now

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

hey,
do you do the name of the thing on alla, or the item number?

smokie--
here's how to make this work for your template--

edit template-
Paste the following two lines into the bottom of your headinclude-template

<link rel="stylesheet" href="itemstats/templates/itemstats.css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="itemstats/overlib/overlib.js"><!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup --></script>

Then;
Go to your replacement variable manager.
Add a new variable replacement, and in the "Search for text" field, put:


http://wow.allakhazam.com /templates/wow (http://wow.allakhazam.com)
In the "Replace with text" field, put:
notice above there is a space added due to it getting stripped out-
remove the space after the .com /template/wow

that's it--

[Enigma Boots]</span> (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21344)

seems when you edit a post it messes up the links to the item..
[Enigma Boots] (http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=21344)

[-=DoW=- SmokieRat]

Think it has to do with the way it handles links. IE; edit a post with a picture and you see the picture and not the pictures link.

[-=DoW=- SledgeHammer]

When I tried to post a [code] with a [img] INSIDE of the [code], it read the [img] as well and grabbed the image and shoved it in the small [code] box. I'm sure this makes perfect sense, reading it back now...:__bash:

[Acedeal]

can not hardly read the item descp in the warcraft1 template.
seems to be missing the dark backgrounds-

[CrazySnyper]

Wow, I couldnt figure out what you guys were going on about until just now (assuming you were talking about the cool little item description thing where you put the mouse over the link right?).

Anway, it looks good to me on both warcraft1 and WoW. That is way cool, I wish I were that smart :)
