FREE Dolphin 7.1 template

Nothing fancy....just something a little different.  Sorry... no screen shot or demo.  Unzip and upload the folders to your sites root. 

Hi,

this looks pretty interesting! I've installed it and it works well.

As far as i can see, the Login/Join Buttons are a bit buggy, sometimes they are displayed twice with different styles. I like the round corners, the upper menu and the red titles. It looks very clear.

For my usage this one is better than the default template - maybe i can use it when my dolphin-system goes public.

Thanks for that one!

 RE;

 You Might try clearing the cache.  If you notice any specific series of actions cause this to happen, post your observations here. 

is there an example of this template working we can look at?

 RE

 See if you can figure this out if all I do is tell you in the very first post of this thread.   It's free. You can download, install, uninstall if you think it sucks.... all in about five minutes.

It's kind of sexy.. If anyone want to see it for now in action, see my site WeAreProGun.com (Can't test forums because I broke Orca and have not figured out how to fix it yet).

Nice work, thanks for template.

not bad! 

like the rounded corners.

Thanks

There's a few minor css issues with comments.  Replace /templates/tmpl_biz/css/cmts.css with the one attached here

i noticed the members block on index also shows out of line, guess its the switch to horizontal from the vertical layout... would be nice if there was an admin option to switch between both as the standard only looks good as a side column since 7.1!....

nice work in progress though

Than You houstonlively - It gives the site a great clean look

How does one hide the search box on this template

 opps ... actually I was mean to ask if anyone had used it so I could see it !

 RE:

 In general.css find the code below at line 182.  Add the code in red, clear cache, refresh browser.

#sys_search_wrapper {
    position:relative;
    width:300px;
    padding-top:10px;
    display:none;
}

really nice :) ty

I cleaned the cache, tried it with Chrome and Firefox. The issue is still there.

It looks like this if i've not be logged in and click on forums, boards, ...  (the "Home"-page is fine)

 RE:

 Not my fault... That's Boonex's doing, but I'll see what I can do to clean things up.. If you switch to the uni template, you'll see the same thing. Looks like the redundant login/join links are now part of 7.1.  Replace this template's top_menu.css with the attached.  One set of login/join links is enough, in my opinion.

It looks nice - but why do all he templates seem to have a horizontal scroll problem now.   It might be partly on my end - my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I keep my screen size a little bigger, but it doesn't seem to happen with other sites, and it didn't happen with 7.0.9

 When one applys  display:none; it makes the top of the template look weird (as it it effects the padding) is there a way to just hide the search box and keep padding around it.

 You are free to modify it anyway you like.

 RE:

 Dolphin 7.0.9 had a page width of 998px. You could zoom in a few times and still keep the page width inside the screen.  Now that 7.1 has a page width of 1140px, if you zoom in a few times, you'll get H scroll bars.

Hello Houston,

Many thanks for this, works great!

Just wanted to bump this back to the top; Thanks HL for such a great looking template!

Still using your template, still liking it a lot. I need a pointer on one issue though. If I add a html_block to the frontpage, it displays html or text inside without padding. If you could point me to the correct css file, I would appreciate it. See picture.

 RE:

 In order to make your custom html block look like standard blocks, you should wrap your code with a div like this:

<div class="bx-def-bc-margin">

{Your custom html}

</div>

This adds the css styling that every other standard block has automatically.  If you did it any other way, it would upset the layout of the rest of the blocks. Why this isn't added automatically, I do not know.  Perhaps it was an oversight on boonex's part.

Really nice job! 

 Thanks, but it is a serious "work in progress", LOL

houstonlively, How can I move the sub menu below the logo and account buttons?  I have tried to move them but it moves the top menu as well.  I would like for logo to be in between both menus at the top.

See screen shot as to how it looks right now.

you would have to put it in between sys_main_menu

and sys_sub_menu

You may be able to move it around  in header.html or sub_header.html

if not you will need to edit it in the scripts folder...

 RE:

 Replace your template's navigation_menu.html and _sub_header.html with the attached versions.

Thanks soooo much!  I kept trying to change it myself but kept making a mess.

Hi HL, I have a padding problem re the quotes module. The text is butting right up on the right hand side, any suggestions? www.asia.connect.asia

Regards, Stuart

 RE:

 Impossible to tell you what to do when you have css caching turned on

 Yeah, sorry about that, I have turned off CSS caching and cleared the cache.

Thanks for checking this for me HL, much appreciated.

Stuart

Stuart, it seems as though the block is grabbing some css from Kevin's fundraiser module.

In this the file /templates/tmpl_biz/css/default.css  find this at about line 221:

@houstonlively

I did some more modifying and i brought the login and join button down just a tad bit and now the thumbnail is out of wack.  I want to make sure that I am editing the right css file so that it does not effect any other parts of the site.

I used the top_menu.css to move the buttons down.  How would I move the thumbnail down to match it?  

Please see attach

 Many thanks HL, I will check this later today.Stuart

I was able to fix this myself.....  

 This is what you should have edited in general.css at about line 209.   Adjust the top value to a + or - px number to move all the items at once.

Hi Houston,

I have installed the template and now I get an error at index page only:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getObjectCommentsCount() on a non-object in /home/adult/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolCmts.php on line 312

What can I do about it?

I switched back and did delete the biz template, cleared cache and still get the error

 RE:

 And you think this is somehow related to a template that no longer exists on your site?   Does that really make sense to you?

See Attached

 no it doesn't but one never knows :-)

Nice and simple, I like it.....

http://towtalk.net

I think I'm gonna find another color to replace the red accents though, seems a little off. Hope you don't mind.

 Just a heads up I don't think that column is wide enough to accept that right...

Is the the default dolphin slide show, or something you added?

 Its just a logo through the settings... It just sits there but fits in the Uni...

 RE:

Probably need to change a width in this template somewhere for logos that wide, but I'd need to look at the site to make sure I told you the correct change.  PM me a url if you don't want to post it here.

Umm, not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I installed this on a virgin install of D7.10 B2 and I've switched the Biz Template to Default and cleared all the cache in the 2 cache folders on the site. When I use FireFox or Chrome I see the Biz Template with the correct Background Color and Top Menus, but if I view the Site using IE, the Default D7 Template is still being displayed. Cleared IE's Browser Cache and everything.

Any ideas?

Just a little update about the IE Browser problem, it appears to be just with good old XP and IE8, I tried it on my other Vista / IE9 Computer and everything seems to look like it should. Wierd.

Any ideas?

houstonlively,

I only today had my hosting provider upgrade me to 7.1 I'm still really raw at css code and actually caused my site to crash once just by installing a template file into the wrong directory and then deleting something else which was the wrong thing to do. I love what I have seen of this template and am amazed that you are offering it for free. I'm honestly not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth but have you altered any of the original code to reflect some of the problems people have had here with it or would I still need to work with altering some of the css in order to make it function the way it is suppose to?

BTW, it really is extremely artistic and quite beautiful!
