Help me code my premades? [updated 5/12]

[Visions]

edit: I still need coding despite any replies you see here!
I'll update this first post if I no longer need a coder.
(Risa is NO LONGER CODING THESE)
So any offer to help would be greatly appreciated.


I've designed a couple of premades for proboards but have no ability to code them. Pretty silly of me really, but I was bored and figured these could be of use if I am lucky enough to find a coder. Information below:

Second:

This one is honestly something special. A completely modular premade. That means that no matter what background the user chooses, it will work. Literally ANY background will work with this premade due to the way it's been designed. At first, it may appear tricky to code, but I assure you it's extremely easy, as I've already done the hard work of slicing all of the semi-transparent bits, and they will appear on a forum exactly as they do in the preview, the transparency will work flawlessly without any need for css to implement those effects.

Below I'm including several previews to give an idea for how diverse the premade can be.

Thank you very much, Risa. c:

Would you like to coordinate coding these via PM, or..?

[Risa]

A PM would be great. Whenever you're ready.

Is there anything specific you need help with for these themes? The reason I ask is because they are pretty simple and you should be able to do it via the tools already at hand in the admin panel. Some of the stuff anyway.

Other stuff, you can do yourself through template modifications, using pre-made templates people have posted on here, PB Support.

For instance, on the first image take a look in the Template Modification board, and look for "Different Header & Content Width" (by pawl). You can then set the footer in Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS to an image. You would then need to make a tiny modification in your templates to adjust the width to be 100% of the screen, but again, that's very simple to do.

The rest of it is just transparency, basically and moving a few things around (such as moving thread # and post # into the same column as last post etc.

For your second, the biggest thing to do is the info center, but again, that's simply moving things around. You can easy add images for your head/side/base using a code that already exists. It's very simple and it's CSS only, by Shrike. Take a look in the Template board for that too.

The only problem I see with the second one is the fact of screen resolutions. Currently your image is to suit a 1920x1280 or similar (or higher), but what about those with smaller? Your boards/categories currently sit comfortably above the water/trees, but for those with smaller resolutions, it would not do this. What if you have more boards and categories? Does it matter if these all show on top of the focus part of the bg, the part acting as a footer?

Hey Stinky,

A big thing stopping me from coding these myself is the fact that I'm already coding my own forum right now, and quite honestly struggling with certain parts of the coding process as it is.

A lot of what you say is true in that most of the coding is just re-arranging things then styling them appropriately, but certain layout modifications become tricky when I'm not fully aware of all of the class ids and such at my disposal.

As far as the second one goes, the whole point is to allow the user to choose their own background, and due to the transparency, it will work no matter what background they choose, dark or light. Putting concern towards which resolutions to support is entirely up to the person choosing their background image. Regardless, the boards and such sitting above the trees/water/etc. was more coincidence than anything else. Even if the boards went through the water/trees/whatever, the template would still look great as a whole, I tested it with quite a few backgrounds in quite a few different positions/resolutions.

So, while I am aware that I could do most of this myself, my css work is really not that great, it's inefficient and messy, and I'd prefer to have someone who knows what they're doing assist me with the coding process. Plus, again, I simply don't have time right now to take on these projects atm.
