FREE Dolphin 7.1 template - part 2

I can assure you that this template was not responsible for you deleting something you shouldn't have and crashing your site.

 Amen. I ran your template for long enough to know it was fine.

Hello HL,

Many thanks for this template, it is working great!

Is it possible to 'pad' the site name graphic (see photo) it sits on the very edge of the template, when I view the site on a 10.1" tablet the first letter is obscured.

Thanks again,

Stuart

Hi, nice template !

What I would like to do but don't know how, is to move Language selector from bottom menu to top Navigation menu as it was in D7.0.9. IS it possible to do that and how? Globe icon or something similar to suggest that site has more than just one Language would be great...

See the globe icon as it was in old ver. of Dolphin:

 RE:

 Add this to the end of general.css

 RE:

 That's going to involve some code changes, so you should ask this in the 7.1 forum.  I'm not going to get involved in that sort of thing in this topic.

Hello Houston,

Many thanks for getting back to me. I added the code you suggested to the end of general.css in both Templates and Administration templates. No change.. I disbabled the caches and cleared the caches on the server.

Still no change.

Stuart

Are you using an image logo?

No image, Just Text as set when I installed D7.1

Stuart

 Try this... my last example was for an image logo.

I'm sorry for this mistake! I realy missed the forum topic and the question.

What I want to ask here is that when I use your template I have a problem with member menu overlaping navigation menu.

To temporary resolve the problem I moved member menu to the bootom in the Template Settings.

And now I'm facing with a lot of 'unhappy' members  -  they want member menu where it was - at the top of the page.

What can be done?

Regards, Mayki

RE:

 It often amazes me what makes some people unhappy.  I'd bet if you  gave those unhappy ones a million dollars, they'd bitch if it were all ones.

Too much navigation at the top of the page if you ask me, but I don't think I could sleep at night knowing your members were unhappy.  In  this templates top_menu.css find the code below and add the code in red.  You may have to adjust the number of pixels to create a perfect happiness. 

Well I am very Happy and not complaining at all.  The text for the status is the same as the background color and when I tried to change it, it made all the other text VANISH Ha Ha...Any thoughts

 Yeah... count to ten

OK now what?

 Count again....

 Let me try and let happiness begin!

while other are still counting

:))

Sometimes it takes a while for the input field to appear after clicking on 'update status'.  

 35px did the trick.

.... just happiness and joy all around us.... , remeber the song "Made in haven" ?.... well this, belive me HL, is even better.

Thank you.

btw:

is csampson1 still counting ?

I hope csampson1 that you wan't mind, I have bad sense of humor. sorry.

CS, if the disappearing text doesn't reappear by tomorrow, let me know.

 HI very nice template i use it now on : www.holidate.it i have changed background and some colors but i can't find

where do i have to look ? 

THX

 RE:

 Here's a few thing you can do to change the appearance of the top menu:

Around line 54 in top_menu.css

table.topMenu td#tm_active a.top_link,
table.topMenu td#tm_active a.top_link:link,
table.topMenu td#tm_active a.top_link:visited,
table.topMenu td#tm_active a.top_link:active {
    color: #ffffff; /* Color of active top menu link text */
    background-color:#0099CC; /* Adds a background color to the active top menu selection */
}

Around line 104 in top_menu.css

table.topMenu td.top:hover a span.down,
table.topMenu td.top:hover b span.down,
table.topMenu td.top a:hover a span.down,
table.topMenu td.top a:hover b span.down {
    background-color: #0099CC; /* Color of top menu item background on hover */
    color: #ffffff; /* Color of top menu item text on hover */
}

Styling of drop down menu items on hover Around line 161 in top_menu.css

table.topMenu ul.sub li:hover a.button {
    background-color: #0099CC; /* Background color of drop down menu item on hover */
    color:#ffffff;
    border-radius:3px;
    border:1px solid #19110a
}

Styling of more menu drop down items on hover: Around line 203 in top_menu.css

table.topMenu ul.sub ul.more_sub li:hover a.button {
    background-color: #0099CC; /* Background-color of more menu drop down items on hover */
}

Adding a repeating background image

In common.css - Line 1

body {
     background-color: #19110a; /*Default background color in absence of a background image */
     background-image: url('../images/SomeBackgroundImage.jpg'); /* Upload SomeBackgroundImage.jpg to the templates image folder */
    background-repeat:repeat;
    margin:0px;
    padding:0 0 50px 0;   
}

Adding a single background image that scrolls with the page content

body {
    background: url("../images/SomeBackgroundImage.png") no-repeat scroll center top / 100% auto #0f0f0f;
    margin:0px;
    padding:0 0 50px 0;   
}

Great

 RE:

 Ask Boonex.  It has to do with viewing the site with IE7.

Does that language selector problem exist with the original version of this template?  If it does, I'll have a look.

HL,

Is the latest version of the template available, and if so, how might we download it?

Thanks!

 RE:

 You can download it from the very first post of Part 1 of this topic.  There's a few minor fixes required, but nothing that should prevent you from using it. 

Hello,

first, i thank you very much for this cool template, really very good.

now my questen: i want to change my join button, need as longer. because in another languages "join" is longer^^

how or wher can i do it?

Best regards

Valentin

 RE:

 Look for this code in the template's general.css and make the change highlighted in red. Clear cache.  Hard refresh browser.

I thank you.

its  perfect now :)))

i am happy

Wish you good day, thanks :)

Thanks!

The new footer from Boonex is screwed using this template, it is not working with 7.1.1 Beta, switching back to UNI corrects.

It has something to do with the jquery-ui-themes-1.10.0

[edit] it also seems to effect the "splash" in 7.1.1

 RE:

 This template was developed for 7.0.0... not 7.1.1  I will update it when 7.1.1 is released.   It is no surprise that a feature that did not exist when this template was created, does not work properly.

 True, I was just letting you know. 

Also was going of the title FREE Dolphin 7.1 template, I'm sure that was a typo.

7.1.0 is what I meant.  I wrote that before I had sufficient caffeine in my system

Houston, that is one great template, I love it!

I've already tweaked it a little to fit my needs, and it turned out as a really useful tool to learn a bit about the templates mechanism.

I have one issue (which was present even before my cosmetic changes):
when a page has only one column, it misses the top padding of the box. I've attached a screenshot example from the "search" home, and I've noticed it also in "privacy groups".

How can I add the missing padding?

 RE

 I'd need to see the site.  My installation of the template does not have that problem.  No one else has mentioned a problem like this.

Have a look: e-she.co.il

user:   test

pass:  mpdemo

Edit: the only changes I've made to the template are color changes, and I made the box title font a bit smaller.
I also have a screenshot of a similar page issue from the original template before I manipulated it. Tested on IE and Chrome, so it's not a browser issue.

 RE:

 The search input and top BC menu didn't disappear by themselves.

Anyway, it's impossible to tell you what to do with css caching turned on.  I'd suggest you turn off all caching and learn to use Firebug.  You'll find what to change a lot faster than going back and forth in these forums for days.

Right, the search input and top menu order were edited based on the changes you published in this topic. Forgot to mention that.

I'm not using Firebug as I don't like FF, but I'm using the parallel tools of IE and Chrome. Will get to the solution eventually, just thought you might have a quicker insight to save me a couple of hours.

Thanks anyway. I'll post a solution once I have it.

Fixed it.

In general.css I've changed:

div.sys_mc {

    width: 100%;

}

To:

div.sys_mc {

    padding-top: 5px;

}

Don't quite understand why, but that did the trick.

I want to change the colour of these buttons, but I can't find where it is defined. Can anybody help me?

In general.css find:

div.sys-service-menu a {   (for changing the background color of the button)

and

div.sys-service-menu a:hover { (for changing the red color when you hover)

change the "background" attribute in both of them to whatever fits you.

Can't believe it's so simple and I didn't find it. Thanks!

I'm trying to use this on a 7.1.3 fresh install.
Everything is good except forums. When using this template and starting a new topic I get a very long page with a LOT of empty space above the actual post. I removed the files from modules/boonex/forum/layout and still have the same issues. If I switch back to the uni template all is well and works as it should.
 I LOVE this template other than this one problem. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

I am getting this error below once I choose this template on the forgot password page just after the user has entered their email and captcha card when they click on retrieve the password the get a blank page any one with an answer please

Warning: require_once(/home/bsocko/public_html/modules/boonex/forum/layout/base_en/params.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bsocko/public_html/modules/boonex/forum/layout/biz_en/params.php on line 3

Well, I hate saying nice crap about you but I feel I must. I downloaded and installed this template when you first presented it. It's still the template of choice of my members.

Good work (man, that was painful)
