Breathe [v1.0.5]

Pebbles Dude, I literally just told you: I have not had the time. Do you know when I usually reply to support questions? During down time at work. And what do you think happens when work gets busy...? Do you think I'm going to be here, or doing the job I'm paid to do?

I am and always have been happy to help, which is why I made that final point in the OP, but it has to be done on my time. I have helped you resolve every other issue you've posed in this thread, as you pointed out, and we were cool. But when you come back in here and chide me for not answering quick enough, and accuse me of ignoring you, that doesn't make me happy. That makes me not want to help.

Kami has pretty much summed it up. I should just give you a, "bye, Felicia" after this tantrum, but I'll give you a chance to be cool: be patient, give me a few days, and I'll get you HTML for the .mp3 player from Adoxography. Sound good?

[elli]

Pebbles Okay, here you go. What you'll want to do is go to Admin > Layout Templates > Mini Profile and find this block of code (at least as it appears in the original theme):

{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
  <div class="info $[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]"><span class="field">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]:</span> <span class="value">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span></div>
{/foreach}
You'll be replacing it with this:

{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
   {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] != "Music"}
       <div class="info $[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]"><span class="field">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]:</span> <span class="value">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span></div>
   {else}
       <div class="player" style="height:30px;border:1px solid #b5bac0;">
           <object width="198" height="30" data="https://cldup.com/1gyTt8zrXC.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
           <param value="https://cldup.com/1gyTt8zrXC.swf" name="movie">
           <param value="#e2e6eb" name="bgcolor">
           <param value="mp3=$[user.mini_custom_field.value]&bgcolor=e2e6eb&loadingcolor=b5bac0&buttoncolor=585c61&slidercolor=585c61;" name="FlashVars">
           </object>
       </div>
   {/if}
{/foreach}
And of course, you'll need to follow the steps in the tutorial on Adoxography to change the colors to suit your theme customizations and add this as a custom field -- make sure you call it "Music". If you find yourself having trouble, post your HTML for this layout template and I will correct it. Further, I'm not sure how to remove the Flash play button overlay yet. I'll keep trying to understand where it's coming from.

haxingrulez It's here: Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Stylesheet

.threads table.list > tbody > tr > td > table > tbody > tr > td.title .link {
padding-right: 8px;
font: bold 15px 'Open Sans',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
text-transform: lowercase;
}

Hey Elli!

I'm struggling to try and get hoverable mini-profiles working... All I'd like is when you hover over an image it shows the information underneath on threads/posts. I get it somewhat working as in you can see the cover image just fine, but when you hover over it the information underneath isn't constraining to the box and just looks plain weird, with the profile image pushed off to the side and the post and likes count sliding out. Is there any way to fix this?

[elli]

Madison Maxwell Use position: relative; on the parent element to contain absolutely-positioned child elements.

Hi Elli!

It's me again! I'm not sure what happened, but the header font wrapping (I think) on my forum suddenly broke even though I haven't changed anything, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I noticed that you mentioned in the first post that 'Steelfish Regular' was hosted on your resources, so I'm wondering if something messed up on that end, changing the font. Let me know if you can!

This is your preview:



This is mine:




Edit: Oh whoops, I only just now saw that you made a thread about this! I hope you're able to get all the file work worked out!Save

[elli]

mellotangelo Yeah, broke it all to bits. You can replace the font reference with the new URL:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Steelfish Regular';
  src: url('http://ellimccale.com/projects/proboards/breathe/fonts/steelfish.eot?') format('eot'),
       url('http://ellimccale.com/projects/proboards/breathe/fonts/steelfish.woff') format('woff'),
       url('http://ellimccale.com/projects/proboards/breathe/fonts/steelfish.ttf') format('truetype');
}

Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > "Style Sheet", near the top

Hopefully I can get this fixed soon for everyone else.

Thank you! I just checked and everything seems back to normal as far as I can tell. I really appreciate it!

Hi! I was wondering if there's any way to replace the forum header title (the one above the subheader) with a picture/logo instead of text?

[elli]

baltimore Have a look at page 10 of the readme. The header text is right above the sub-head in the HTML.

[seaturtle]

elli  I'm not sure if you are aware but I found a bug with your theme. The awesome glyphs become broken on the threads list if you click on page 2, 3, 4. They seem to load up whatever has been uploaded as the thread icons in the admin theme settings. Just letting you know, could it be something that can be resolved? Again, I love the theme and really appreciate your generosity 

[elli]

seaturtle I'm aware, thanks for checking. It's just not something that has been a priority to fix.

@synthtec I use $[forum.title] since it's plain text. As for the SVG viewbox, I found the percentages somewhere on StackOverflow, but I don't remember where or why it even works. All I know is that this works to center the text.

[ludachrist]

elli Thanks for this great theme!


I'm having trouble with some of the coding and was wondering if you (or anyone else reading this) could help!

1. I want to have more control over the colors. For example, The background color is the same for the background of the thread posts/content containers and I want it to be a different color. How do I do that?

2. There's a large/random space in between the forum header and the boards info (where the ads should be). I'm not using an adblocker so I don't know what happened.

3. For links text I'm having the same issue as number one - I need more control over colors.

As a side note, has anyone managed to convert this into a responsive design?

Will PM my forum's URL if needed.

I've been experiencing a lot of problems with this theme. The first time I modified it last year everything was fine, but the times I have downloaded the base theme and/or exported and reuploaded the modified version to a new site (with no major changes), things like the notification system (for messages AND regular notifs) don't work among other things.

I'm trying to figure out how to fix it myself since this theme seems to no longer have any support, but the fact that it's incredibly hard to just mod stuff like colors makes this almost seem impossible to the amateur code reader/writer.

Still a great theme...but if anyone wants to start some sort of support group (lol!) for this theme let me know.

[elli]

ludachrist You know that you can edit the colors however you like... right? The options I built into the Visual Editor are meant for a basic setup. They aren't, like... your only outlet for changes. Besides the rest of the Visual Editor, there's an entire stylesheet for you to edit to your heart's content. Colors, that "random space" (which is intentional spacing btw -- there needs to be space between the header and the content), post containers, they can all be changed! The stylesheet is very clearly commented according to which section the styles are meant for -- I put extra care into that. But, I would recommend learning some CSS first.

And as I specifically noted in the OP: I have no plans to make this theme responsive. To my knowledge, only one person has made any kind of responsive theme in all the years v5 has been released. There's no point when ProBoards forces a mobile version.

So, so sorry you're having all these troubles. It's interesting because you're the first person, out of thousands of downloads and very creative modifications, to have such trouble. I downloaded the theme fresh from my server and was able to install and edit it with the Visual Editor, no issue. I also exported it, and re-imported it without any notification system failure. Is it not possible that your exported modifications aren't working because you made an error? You say you're an amateur coder...

Of course, you can always use another theme. Or make one of your own. This is only a premade, after all.
