Sonorus Theme Help

[Skytreader]

I am not used to the new Proboards layout as I left it for quite some time. I'm really struggling here and I feel like it should be obvious.

I can't find where to edit the information tab or the dashboard tab - the things in them. IE: Updates, Events, all the links under info, the welcome area, Box Title, Site Name @ Owner, Of the Month, and the image icons. 

Also, how to get rid of the chat box thing at the bottom if it is allowed?

Please help. I'm getting frustrated. 8(

Thanks!

Hello! I have been in your shoes before, and only after using many different themes (and finding corresponding theme set-up guides by the creators) I have the basic grasp on how to edit most pre-made themes (like the one you are using).

For most edits in the Banner and in the Footer, you can find the related code in the Forum Wrapper Layout Template. Here are the directions: Admin>Themes>Layout Template>Forum Wrapper. From there, here are the Line #s for the information you are looking for!

Title: Line 99
Sub-Title: Line 102
Navigation Links: Line 140
Site Credit: Line 177
Welcome Title: Line 183
Welcome Message: Line 188
Staff: Line 192
Extra Box: Line 233
Awards: Line 242
Update: Line 338
Events: Line 352

To Delete the Chatbox Area (which you may do), select Lines 431-445, and then delete. If you want to have a chatbox again, then you will need to use the same code, if not, then problem solved.

Now here is the fun part, as I have been looking through the code, if you want to change/add images for the above sections, you will need to go into the Style Sheet (Admin>Themes>Advanced Styles & CSS>Style Sheet) to edit that. I'll leave the sections below for where the most areas for editing are!

All Images: Line 1-22

The theme creator was pretty clever and left all images in the top section, so that is the only part that needs to be changed and it gets cycled through the rest of the code.

Hopefully this works, if not then just post back here and someone can help!

Thank you so much, I knew I was overthinking it!

I have another question with this theme. I'm not sure how to utilize the mini-profile. If you go to a post on my forum, there is a blank spot (where I assume another avatar goes) and when you hover, it shoes the avatar.

I looked at the mini-profile code & it seems like there are other things in it that I am not finding, such as "gender identity" and "sexual orientation". It says they are custom profile fields, but when I go to look at them on my forum, there isn't anything new, just what I've added in the past.

Here is a post to show you what I mean: estrellaerrante.boards.net/thread/21/astrology-geeks

Thanks to anyone who can help!

You have to add the profile fields yourself to get them to show, exactly as they are titled in the template.

So if the template says the custom field is called This Is A Custom Field, you need to add a new custom field called This Is A Custom Field (with proper capitalisation and spacing to match the name in the template).

The blank spot for the "big" avatar is also a custom field, so you'd have to find what that's called too.

Is there any way to just remove the big avatar?

how do I make profile images stay without having to hover over them?

There is, but I can't say what it is. I'll be real honest with you, the best person to help with this theme is the creator. While we can download the theme to our test sites and whatnot, it will take us far longer to figure it out than the theme creator.

This theme was apparently from an Adoxography user. You may want to look there (just google "Adoxography" and "ProBoards") to see if the creator is still around, or barring that, someone more familiar with this theme.

That's not to say you won't get help here, but it may not be quick in coming.
