Fairly complex, with a tabbed sidebar, hover mini profile, as well as many complete template remodels.

LOVE STRUCK

•••••

Love Struck is the first pre-made theme I will be releasing. In it's past life it was actually a horrendous attempt at a summer theme with bright colors that assaulted the eyes. It took a few late nights, and a couple profane words, to strip it of all the things that made it ugly, and rebuild it from the ground up. I tried to get everything on this theme just right, so I hope everything looks good and everyone finds it aesthetically pleasing. This theme features a tabbed sidebar, hover mini profiles, as well as numerous template remodels.

the guidelines

• 01. There are many credits included in this theme, however the only one that is visible to the public is the one at the bottom of every page. It is non intrusive, so please be kind and do not remove it, or any of the other credits located within the layout templates.
• 02. This theme is not to be used as a base to create your own theme. Of course, you may edit colors and fonts to better suit your site, but no major editing should be done to the overall design of the theme. It is a pre-made theme, and it is intended to be used as is, with potential for minor edits.
• 03. No reposting of this theme for download is allowed by anyone other than myself on designated sites. If you see this theme for download anywhere other than Adoxography, Proboards Support, or the Proboards Theme Library, please notify me immediately.
• 04. Do not simply download my theme if you see a particular code or remodel you like and want to add it to your site. I often release my eligible remodels used in themes separately on Adoxography, and if I have not done so, simply send me a PM and ask about it. I will most likely give you the code if you just ask! Do not steal!
• 05. Lastly, if you would like something edited, need help, or have an issue, post in this thread or shoot me a PM. I am happy to implement minor edits, but I will not completely rewrite a large amount of content to suit your needs. Once again, this is a pre-made theme, so it is highly unlikely I will spend the time to completely redesign something for a single person.

SETUP GUIDE

When asking for support, provide a forum link, otherwise your request will be ignored.

the basics

• There are two avatars for each member when using this theme. The standard Proboards 150x150 avatar image seen around the forum, which is edited via the Avatar tab in edit profile, and a larger 200x350 image only seen in the mini profile, which is edited via a custom field on the Personal tab of edit profile.
  • To edit the default avatar, go to Admin Home > Themes > Theme Settings > Default Theme Avatar and link/upload a new 150x150 image.
  • To edit the default for the 200x350 image, go to Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates > Mini Profile, find line 14, and replace http://placehold.it/200x350 with a link your own image.
• The fixed sidebar can be found by navigating to Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper. The sidebar starts on line 83, alternatively look for the credit to guide you. All content can be edited there, but the styling for the sidebar is found on the CSS Sheet.
• If you wish to change the background image(the black texture) in the board list, go to Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates > Board > Board List, find line 8 and replace http://storage.proboards.com/5462442/i/ZyZbndcMuEi8PymFSa5o.png with a link to your own image.
• The logo/banner image is edited via the Visual Editor (Admin Home > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Visual Editor) Go to Forum > Header (Top) > Forum Banner > Banner Image. I have set it to a 400px height but you may choose any height you'd like. The default dimensions are 1030x400.
• For the chatbox, located on line 99 of the Forum Wrapper template, I recommend dimensions of 230x345 for the main, and 230x75 for the form. The heights can be adjusted, but make sure you don't make it too long, because the chatbox will be cut off for smaller screen resolutions.
• The pink background behind the boards/banner etc can be edited via #wrapper near the bottom of the CSS stylesheet.

the styles

• Most styles located in the style sheet. (Admin Home > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet) If it is not in the style sheet, it is in the layout template itself, or is edited via the Visual Editor.
• Mini Profiles: line 1739
• Sidebar: line 1555
• Board List: line 1690
• Info Center: line 1814

the custom fields

This theme was designed for a roleplay forum, so the custom fields pertain to a roleplay related info. Please refer to this image for the exact settings.

the monetary plugin

This theme does not support the monetary plug in when downloaded. For those who use it, your wallet values will show up in the mini profile if you follow this simple step:

[/code]

and replace it with this:
<span class="money_symbol"></span><span class="money_amount"></span>

If you try to upload the theme it comes up with an error stating it cannot find the item?

I'm sorry about this, Nickel. It appears that the theme still hasn't been accepted to the library just yet. I'm assuming the staff have just had a busy day. However, I've decided to provide an alternate download link in the meantime.

[Nickel]

Thanks so much Alisha <3

UPDATE

Love Struck has now been accepted into the Proboards Theme Library and can be downloaded. Please rate and review!

Hi, Im working on customizing the skin slowly here, so I may have several questions down the road. My biggest one is the large avatars. Do I as the admin have to edit everyone's? Thanks! starwarsrevival.freeforums.net/

[Alisha]

I received a pm about this as well, so I'll tag you both here.

wanderingjedi and Spaghetti Monster,

If you read the guide, I listed that the 200x350 avatar is edited via a custom field.

• There are two avatars for each member when using this theme. The standard Proboards 150x150 avatar image seen around the forum, which is edited via the Avatar tab in edit profile, and a larger 200x350 image only seen in the mini profile, which is edited via a custom field on the Personal tab of edit profile.
  • To edit the default avatar, go to Admin Home > Themes > Theme Settings > Default Theme Avatar and link/upload a new 150x150 image.
  • To edit the default for the 200x350 image, go to Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates > Mini Profile, find line 14, and replace http://placehold.it/200x350 with a link your own image.

the custom fields

This theme was designed for a roleplay forum, so the custom fields pertain to a roleplay related info. These are required.

I actually figured this out! ^^ Thankies! one other thing, i can't seem to find in the code the place to change the main 'pinky' color for the forum. I was also looking into making the side bar black background instead of that white. Thanks so much again <3

You're welcome! A side note, each member should be able to edit the large avatar when you put the custom field in.

You'd have to be more specific on which pink you're talking about for me to help you. Also, my theme is not viewable for guests on the forum you linked me. Make sure it is the default theme so I can help you easily. For the sidebar background, go to the stylesheet, and find line 1555, where the sidebar styles start. The background color is the "background: #f7f7f7;"(line 1558) in the "#sidebar" class.

[wanderingjedi]

Okay, that's great to know. I'll make it visable now;I was kind of holding back until the kinks were worked out. But I'll do it now. I'll take a look into those two variables as soon as I unlock it for you to see. ^.^

[wanderingjedi]

Okies, feel free to 'poke' around. hehe. pretty much that rose color that's there in any way shape or form. :3 It's not that I dont' like it, but it doesn't quite..Fit with the theme. XD And once more, thanks so much for all your help!

[Slayer]

Heya, im trying to get the custom Fields for the mini profiles to appear in the personal tab and i can't work out what im meant to be editing in order for the fields to appear?
