Just got SMF /TP up and running and I am just realizing how much I don't know,but it is fun. anyway could someone tell me what is wrong with the light grey part of the news block in this forum.It is too wide I think. Thanks.
I see now it is just in IE.
The image is missing for 'TPmodify.gif'.ÂÃ, Or the image was saved without transparency.
In IE it gives the red X image placeholder.
in either case, save this one and upload it to your Themes/amber11rc1/images/ folder.
And yes, your news box is a bit to wide. Text area is wider than the header and the other boxes.

Thanks. So that news box will always be that big?
No, it's a bug in the theme, but I do not have a copy of amber theme, I guess it's in the index.template.php from that theme. the width is probably a typo.
this is the news box:
// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '<br /><div style="padding: 2px 5px 2px 20px;" class="titlebg0"><b>News</b></div>
<div class="windowbg02" style="padding: 10px;">
<div style="width: 170px; height: 50px; overflow: auto; padding: 5px;" class="smalltext">', $context['random_news_line'], '</div></div>';this is the search box:
<div style="margin-top: 20px;">
<div style="padding: 2px 5px 2px 20px;" class="titlebg0"><b>', $txt[182], '</b></div>
<div class="windowbg02" style="padding: 10px;"><input type="text" name="search" value="" style="margin-right: 8px;" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt[182], '" style="margin-top: 5px;width: 8ex;" />
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search;advanced">', $txt['smf298'], '</a>
<input type="hidden" name="advanced" value="0" />';As you can see, the news bow has a fixed width on it. '<div style="width: 170px;'
And the search box and Stats box do not. I think you can delete the height and width statements, but you should wait for more qualified help.
You know that ----for sure!!!! :o superQ out
I uploaded that gif to the folder. What do I have to do with it now to make it appear. It is not there in any browser. The file is there. the right size and all [234]Sorry I am pre-newbescent.
Looks like you are using the amber theme that is not converted for TinyPortal.
First let me say this. When I get an email notifying me of a reply to this topic and I copy and paste the link it routinely does not work. Not just this time. Not complaining just noting.
ÂÃ, Well it seems that the tpmodify.gif that I was told to upload got to the server as tp modify.gif withÂÃ, the space after tp. It had to be renamed. and now it works.
What do you meanÂÃ, by not converted for Tinyportal. There is a version for 1.1 rc1 right. It seems to be working alright. I of course am not doing so hot with it,but that is something else.
ÂÃ, I guess the bottom line is ==Is there an amber theme for 1.1rc1? I am not sure now. I only see 2 in the download section. Apollo and Black 22. What am I missing
You are using the correct version of Amber (there is only a RC1 version anyway). However, you're using TinyPortal from what I can tell. And that Amber theme your using is meant for only SMF. Not SMF+TinyPortal. Download and try this one instead.

That could be the reason I am going nuts. :uglystupid2:

I like it. I had no doubt it worked. Leave it to me to add the wrong one :idiot2: As far as adding the new [right theme] What is that procedure. I did a little searching ,but nothing specific yet.. I see the manage and install themes area. How do i get the new right theme in there. Do I delete the existing file in the file manager and upload the new one. I hate to delete things especially when I don't know what I am doing. I think I could add a completely new theme I am just a little confused about adding the right version of the same theme with the same name and path. If that makes any sense. I am getting a little embarrassed having to ask these questions :(
Do a back up for your forum and them if you go to the folder where the themes are stored and remove the bad theme - SMF will not use that them - then from the admin add the right theme. Hope this helps some
It's that simple superQ. Just delete the old one in theme settings, then upload the new one. Then you can set everyone to use that theme as default if you need to.
