Code Requests

[Kent Laiton]

Hello, I have a couple of things I'd like to request to use for v5. My forum uses quite a lot of coding and I've been working for days with another member of my forum to make it look good, but I think I need to ask for a bit more help now. There might be more I forgot to include on this list.

V4 Forum: Click
V5 Forum: Click

I hope everything I wrote down is clear enough to understand.

Mini Profile Costum RPG Code
I'm using the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
/* RPG Destiny v1.5 with Edittable Money/Stats by california
©2005 SoCal Codes, http://socal.proboards26.com */

rpgStats = [
// Customize Stats

['Level','.20'],
['Magic','3.5'],
['Spirit Emeralds','5']

// End Customization
]

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.iycatacombs.com/socal/resources/scripts/destiny_1.5.js"></scr'+'ipt>');

// -->
</script> And I'd like to have it work on V5. I heard you can costumize it on mini-profile layouts but I don't know how. Our members collect Spirit Emeralds on the site and it would be bad if we would lose that or have to fill in everything again through another money code.
Category Images Bigger
I'm using the Multicolored Categories code but the images are 30 px in length but to show the full images I need them to be bigger. The way they look now... I don't really like how small they are.
For this I had been thinking of a switch text to image code or anything to make the images appear on their full size.
Changing Colors of Select Boxes and Drop Down Menus in Threads/PMs List
Everything in the red borders I want the colors to be changed.

To make things clear, I want to change the borders of the select boxes to the same dark green as the background has, and the drop down backgrounds to the same green as the Search background. I've tried everything I could in the Style Sheet but I can't find anywhere to change these colors.
BBCode and Style Tags
I know it has been requested a lot before, but if possible it would be great if we could have a code which we can keep using the old table templates with so we don't have to change everything later on.
Avatar/Display Name/PMs appear in Side Table
Simply, I would like the 'Your Profile' Side Table on my v4 forum to appear good on v5 as well. (except for the Switch Account thing since that won't work) If I paste the coding of the Side Table on v5 nothing will appear.

My Forum  

This goes with the ultimate info center. Go to my forum, and scroll down to the info center. Is that good enough? I just did that with a template modification. If that's good enough for you, then I can tell you how to do it.

The table that shows the site updates, I recommend posting here

As for stuff being far more aligned right. It's all equal. Just once you get past the side tables then theres more space to left because thats where the side tables were. ( unless this isnt what you are talking about and I'm just looking at the wrong thing, if I am then please explain further, or possibly screen cap an example)

As for the other stuff, idk. Sorry.

[Kent Laiton]

Yeah that looks good. :] I'd like to see the coding of it.

I'm surprised I haven't noticed that post before, thanks for pointing it out.
About the last thing, I realize maybe I'm just a bit too much of a perfectionist. I just want a bit more space of green next to the categories and such, but it's just a small detail I doubt everyone would notice. So for now I'll scrap it off of the list. But thanks for all the other things, I really appreciate it.

For the info center go to Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates > Home

On that template, find this. Should be on lines 25-98

To add more space to each side of the forum(so you can see more green background on the sides)

Go to Admin Home > Themes > Colors & Styles > Style Sheet

Then scroll the bottom and you should have some CSS that goes something like:


#wrapper {
padding: blah;
margin: blah;
}


If you see that, can you post that bit of CSS here so i can show you what to edit?

[Kent Laiton]

Wow I manage to make the info center look almost the same as on v4, thanks a bunch!
There's however a problem which I had faced before but I can't remember exactly how I had fixed it, but as you can see on the v5 forum a part of the forum itself goes under the side tables.
I found out if you delete <div class="content"> it goes back to normal but then the background color is gone, lol. But I'm trying to fix this problem as I'm typing.

Here's the wrapper:

/* border around forum */
#wrapper {background-color: #2f4d2f; padding: 1em; border: 1px solid #336633; margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em;}


[Shorty]

Oh woops. Did you add in your CSS from your original ultimate info center. I forgot to mention that. Sorry.

[Kent Laiton]

Nope, that code didn't work at all. I had copied your code and changed the things to make it look like how it appears on v4 of my forum. If it helps I can paste it.

[Shorty]

Nah its fine. If you have looking how you want then, we're good.

[Kent Laiton]

Okay... but I still can't really fix the problem with the forum appearing under the sidebars.
Maybe it can be fixed if I change those things in the wrapper? Though I doubt it.

[Kent Laiton]

Bumping this thread since I still have problems. My motivation to keep working is fading a bit but I really want to have everything done before the final release of v5.

[Kent Laiton]

Bump. Need help on the things in the first post.

[Kent Laiton]

Bump.
