TP Support

Im not following you right now.
Xbox360 elite them ?  I see another theme there i think. a black theme, but nothing like the 360elite though.

And messed up ?  I juist looked at it, and it seem to be ok to

Ah, see you have xbox theme for the forum , but some other theme for the frontpage

The collapse buttons, did you want them emoved, or show, but in some other place ?

I fixed the mess.  Sometime the index.template would disappear or whatever it does and I have to reupload, hence is why I keep downloading a copy of it to Desktop after each change just in case.

For the forum, I am using the xBox 360 Elite theme.  That is the only theme I am using.  It is the same thing for the TP.

I am wanting the collaspe buttons completely removed.  I did try that in index.template, but it was a disaster.  Maybe I removed a bit too much, I dunno.

I have to say, without getting involved, because I have no idea whats going on... If you need help, you really need to help the team here. You need to be as descriptive as you can be, we don't have mind readers, we cannot guess what you've done, what you've tried, what worked and what didn't.

Before editing any file, especially if you are unfamiliar with making these changes, save a copy of the original. If it doesn't work the first time, go back.. look at what you are editing. Every single little change can have a huge impact, and if you don't expect it..

I'm removing too much.  Where should I stop?

Is it possible to add a background image to the article that is currently up there?

On the forms you had up here before you edited your last message, there's no reason why these won't work in a script block in the left panel just like you have on the root site.  However, if you either don't style them in the block or in the style.css for the theme they probably won't look right.

On the collapse buttons, this has been asked many times before here.  Try doing a search on "remove upshrink" and see what you can find.

Make sure to make a backup of your file and then comment out the parts where the upshrinks are located.

Finally, a background image for an article.   Hmmm, don't know, never tried to do that.  Have you tried it yet?

You've sure got a lot of issues in one topic!

For your background image, use a div tag and css just like you'd use in a .css file. Lots and lots of info on css syntax all over the internet.

[ZarPrime]

Thanks for jumping in there JP.  I wasn't sure about the background image but I figured this could be done with a div.  It'd probably even work with an external page, but like I said, I've never tried anything like that.

I think at this time, your better off asking the theme creator about the theme edits. He know the theme inside out and what code to change and where to chage it.  :up:

I was able to get the forms to appear by using Article and having Block call on it.

I've decided to change the way the Menu is, so I have it up there in Center Block.

The problem is that the width shoots to the right when the actual file is not that wide.  I highlighted the area and confirmed that the file size is actually right.  Something is making the center so wide.

Thanks on the DIV background option. I'll look that up and find the best one.  I plan to have a background logo under the flash menu.  There's a space under it, because of the dropdown sub menu.  That will be where I'll be putting a background logo.  First, I just need to get the center to behave. lol

As for the forms, right now on the left side, the forms is saved as Article and the Block is calling on it.  Right now, as Admin, I'm seeing under each of those box is:

[Edit article] [Edit options]

I spent a few hours trying to find the option to turn it off.  All displays for the block and article is turned off, except for those two links.  Regular members don't see it, but annoys me.

Have anyone on here heard from metalcore lately?
