Theme/Coding help... maybe?

[Nightshade]

Hi! 



Now before I go into detail on what I need help with; I want to say I am sorry if what i need help with is in the wrong area for the support boards. I honestly don't know where else to go, so hopefully... someone can point me in the right direction or something >.<;; Well anyway, I have been working on a new site and its a Role-play site. I found a theme that I really like and everything is going fine... I just ran into a problem. Well two.. One; I am just learning about coding on Proboard's and two... its seems like I can't edit the Side-bar that comes with the site. And i really like the side bar that comes with the site! I just... I need help figuring out where I need to go to edit it to fit the sits needs? Like adding small pictures to it for the Admins/Mods on there, and then just text on it... if anyone can tell me step by step how to do so that would be great! Once again I am a beginner when it comes to coding for Proboard's...


Once again, sorry if this is in the wrong area >.<

I assume this theme is from the library? In which case, it'd be best to ask in their thread - if they have one. However, I would assume the coding for it would be found:

Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

When you're there, if you can't see it, one good and easier way to do so, would be to use CTRL+F and search for certain terms used within the coding, such as:
"All request boards are open to members as are the submissions boards, so show us what you're made of!"
or
"Sidebar by Shani of Shine and Kismet of RPGD"

It's possible it could be in the HOME template (Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Home).
I can't see any boards or access any other pages on your forum, as a guest, so I can't actually check.


If you can't find it in either of those, check: Admin > Structure > Headers & Footers
In there try "Global" and if that fails, try "Home" (both located at the top).

I just noticed in the Info and also Credits, it mentions that Welshling created/converted to PBv5, so maybe she can shed some light.

Thank you so much! You helped me find where I needed to go to find it!

Stinky666 thanks <3

Nightshade to edit your sidebar, you need to head over to your forum wrapper template.
Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

lines 68-120 if you need further help. tag me here, or find me at my resource forum.

I just had a couple more questions, and then hopefully I don't have to ask anymore lol. I was wondering if there was a possible way of making the Side-bar on the theme I am using a Scrolling one? If not, I completely understand. Another question. Their are three boxes Chat, Info, Credits. I was wondering if there was a way to place another box on it? If so, how would I be able to do it (Like the code I need?). Once again thank you for helping me Welshling

Nightshade i'm not sure I understand what you're looking for with the sidebar on this theme. You say its scrolling? The only scrollbar I see on your sidebar is attached to your shoutbox.
Do you want your sidebar to have a scrollbar?
Or are you trying to edit the colors of the webkit scrollbar? (this scrollbar is the full height of your screen on the far right hand side of your forum and is also affecting the shoutbox scrollbar colors.)

To add more tabs. Admin > Structure > Layout templates. Forum wrapper.
line 81.
Create an empty line by hitting the enter button then copy and paste the following to create another tab onto the empty line
<li id='tab3' class='clickable1'>NAME OF TAB HERE</li>

I wouldn't add anymore than 4 tabs to this sidebar, because they will line up nicely with 4 but 5 or 6 of them may show underneath the original 3 tabs.

Also don't forget to edit those links in the sidebar to suit your own forum. As below.
<li><a href="your profile link">admin</a></li>
<li><b>OTHER STAFF</b></li>
<li><a href="link">NAME</a></li>
<li><a href="link">NAME</a></li>
<li><a href="link">NAME</a></li>
<li class="sidebar_title">Quick Links</li>

Anything you don't want, simply delete but make sure you don't delete any of the html for the sidebar
