Blue Ninja theme help

[User 180565 is taking donation]

I installed Stinky666 Blue Ninja theme on my forum and a couple things are bugging me, firstly when you make a thread with longer characters is it possible to adjust it so it's pushed to the left?

I mean so the thread title is above the word by




Secondly, how do I add another link to the menu section and from there I'd like to add a thread with custom fields, but that may be for another topic?

And thirdly when a user visits the domain I'd like to land it onto a thread by default, how can I do this?

Bump?

Yup

Apologies User 180565 is taking donation, I rarely come on here these days.
I'm unsure exactly by what you mean for your first question, do you mean the follow?


The top one, the bottom two are default. Is the top one how you want it?

For the second question, to add a custom menu link, go to Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper.
Now depending on who you want to allow to seethis new link, will determine where exactly you place it. You have 3 options: Everyone (includes guests), Staff Only, or Members Only (includes staff).

If it's for everyone to see, simple place it on a new line after line 22. Copy exactly what I have done, and use <li><a href="LINK">MENU NAME</a></li>

If you want it so staff only can see it, place it after line 25, doing the same as above.

For members only, place it after line 41.

For your third question, is this for when someone has just registered, or for everyone ? If it's for new members, this can be done by going to Admin > Forum Settings > Login & Registration. Look at the bottom where it says After Registration Page

Yes thats correct for the first one, thanks for getting back to me, by custom fields I mean I'd like to add a layout template for the thread posting page.

So this is how I'd like it to be set up. On the Side menu there'd be a extra link added that says Post new topic for example, then when you click that link you'll get a custom posting page.

Sorry if this is confusing, I'm never good at explaining myself.

If you do what I said above for the menu link, and for the URL, use something like the following:
/thread/new/82
That link for example, on here would create a new thread in this board (Themes).
If you wanted to make a new one for General Talk, you'd use: /thread/new/33
(changing the ID. To get the ID, simply go into the board, and then in your address bar, it's right there

I'm actually not sure how you would make custom fields, but I think there is a mod or plugin for it already. If not, then it'd be best to ask for a new one from someone that knows what they are doing.

Sure, thanks for letting me now I'll give it a shot later today.
