Really nice theme, but it won't let me change the logo for some reason. I 'upload' it, but it doesn't change.

That's because it's not uploaded into the "logo" section. This is because some people would still want to use a banner for this theme, so I added the logo into the Layout Templates. It's easy to edit though:

Admin > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

On line 17 you should see:

<a href="/"><img src="exdat.net/Ninja-Logo.png" title="$[forum.name]" width="150" height="123"></a>


Simply change my link that I have made bold and blue, to your custom link. If you don't keep your width and height the same, it will mes up so i should suggest definitely keeping the same width, which can be seen above (150px) but height can be changed to anything for your logo. Be sure to edit the height if yours is taller than 123px

Thanks for the amazing theme! But I'm trying to edit the image and my line 17 is <h2 id="banner"> so not really sure on how to add my own image

That's on a default theme.
Make sure near the top left, where it says "Current Theme" you have the Blue Ninja Theme selected from the dropdown.

I know it's called the blue theme. But what would be the easiest way to change all those blue elements to a different color?

The easiest way would be to go into the Style Sheet, as well as the Templates and find the following colours and replace them with your own:

#2a333c
#414852
#87d6db

The best thing to do, would be to grab ALL the style sheet CSS, paste it into a text document, such as Notepad, and then use CTRL+H to replace words. In the "Find" put in one of the above hex codes, then in the "Replace" enter your new colour. Then click "Replace All".

You'll need to do this 3 times, for the above 3 colours. Then, you'll also need to go into each individual Layout Template, such as Home, Forum Wrapper, Mini Profile, etc and do the exact same process.

Hi TinMachine. Glad you like the theme.

SHOUTBOX:

This can be a simple fix, but then if you use the plugin for sound for the shoutbox, it won't display on the shoutbox correctly. If you don't use the plugin, that will be no problem at all and you can ignore

Go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet

On line 1350, you should see:

.shoutbox_form { background: @shoutbox_reply_background; border: @shoutbox_reply_border; .rounded-corners(@shoutbox_reply_border_radius); padding: 10px; height: 135px; }

Change the height from 135px to 95px.

HIDDEN POSTS:

I hadn't even thought about these, I truly hadn't. I will take a look at this and fix it. My apologies.

NAV BAR LINKS:

This all depends upon where exactly you want these links to display?
If you look at lines 19-39 in the Forum Wrapper, you will see that each Nav Link starts with:

<li><a href="URL">Link Name</a></li>

As it stands, they are in a specific order, which is the first 4 are what guests can see (as well as members and staff). After that, it's links for Staff only - which as it stands is only the Admin link - then finally, after that it has Members Links (which staff can also see), followed by the Participated at the very bottom.

So long as you follow the above, using the <li> etc method, it'll be all fine.

If you need help with adding the links, then don't hesitate to ask.
Just let me know where exactly they want to be and I will tell you exactly how to add them

Thanks, shoutbox fixed.

The links I've figured out mostly. However I can't get the slots/chatroom or new posts to work.

discussiontime.freeforums.net/

I also can't find quick reply?

Could you copy and paste me your Forum Wrapper so I can see what you have done with/for the links you are having troubles with? Make sure when you paste it to me, you have those links included, so I can see it in action and not working

For the Quick Reply, at the bottom of every page in threads, there is a bar (as with all pages).
Inside a thread you will see there are 6 button: Top, Bottom, New Threads, New Posts, Shoutbox, Quick Reply

Clicking on Shoutbox or Quick Reply, will open up a new popup/drop-down.
The reason I did it like this was so you don't have to scroll to the bottom of a page to make a reply to the thread.

Your Slots link is a capital 'S', but in the coding you put it a a small one. Try changing it to a capital, see if that helps.

For the New Posts, you need to use the following url: posts/recent

After doing the above two, does the chatroom link still not work?


Edit:
Just to say, New Posts isn't needed, because it's on every page at the very bottom on the bottom bar, along with New Threads and other stuff.

Yeah, I only initially added those to the nav bar on the default theme because there are some members who aren't that savvy with the forum and couldn't find their way around it. Will edit once sorted the links out.

ETA: all fixed now, thanks

Ok brilliant. Now it's just this hidden posts issue.
I can't for the life of me figure it out. I just don't understand how/why the mini profile hides, but the rest doesn't. I've tried so much moving around of stuff.

Hopefully someone better at coding can figure this out for me, cos I am at a complete loss, yet I think it's something simple (David Clark or Brian or Peter (just wanna tag anyone that may be nice to help sorry lol) ?? Will love you guys so much if you can tell me what I have done wrong <3)

I can take a closer look later today.

Is there a test forum using the theme where you've set up the hidden post so I can observe the issue, Stinky666?

Love the theme, Stinky666. Is there anyway to change the blue ninja logo .. to our own forum logo? Thanks!

Change the red link to your own.
NOTE: the logo size is 150px (width) by 123px (height). I would recommend keeping the same width but you can have the height as anything you prefer.
