Another Free Dolphin 7.1 Template - part 2

 RE:

 First, I have to ask: If you have the FB connect module installed and set up, there is already a FB selection for the auth type on the login forms, so why do you even need this?

Latest Download is Attached.  A few minor css changes, and support for Facebook Connect button in service menu added.

To add a 'Facebook Connect' button to the service menu, run the following sql query on your data base:

INSERT INTO `sys_menu_service` (`Name`, `Caption`, `Icon`, `Link`, `Script`, `Target`, `Order`, `Visible`, `Active`, `Movable`, `Clonable`, `Editable`, `Deletable`) VALUES
('Facebook Connect', '_bx_facebook', '', 'm/facebook_connect/login_form', '', '', 3, 'non', 1, 3, 1, 1, 1);

You must, of course, have the facebook connect module installed

If you don't like the button, run this query to delete it:

DELETE FROM `sys_menu_service` WHERE `Name` = "Facebook Connect";

@miketsp00  ..... I realize this button won't have that indescribably beautiful facebook icon, but I hope it will suffice.

Sorry for that :-)

 Let me see if I can figure out what your issue is, if all you do is tell me.   If it has to do with the missing text for the top menu items, I've already explained that, and what you have to do to correct it.  But I know that must not be it, since I called attention to it in the very first post with great big bold letters.

Pay attention Diddy ..... or no more free stuff for you

 ok :-)

I do have the standard dolphin facebook connect module installed, but I don't really think most people not familiar with dolphin would even click or notice facebook connect in the drop down.  I like to make it easy to find and use because a lot of traffic comes from my sites fb page...  And even though I've made my join form as short as possible it still seems to be a hurdle for lazy potential members lol.  I will run that database query though.  Thank you

 RE:

 That's a good enough reason.  The query as is, uses the language key _bx_facebook which is added when the fb connect module is installed.  The corresponding text string that will appear on the button is "Facebook  Connect".  Id you want to use a custom language string, change _bx_facebook in the query to _something_else of your choosing, then just add whateve text you want to use for the language string.... just don't edit the _bx_facebook key.

That's perfect.  Thanks Houston, cool template too!

actually..  I updated the template and ran the query.  Said the query was added successfully, but the button isn't showing.  I cleared the cache too..  It's probably some stupid mistake on my part.  I'm not real fluent with this stuff obviously, but I ran the query on sys_menu_service

 RE:

 Might be a dumb question, but are you logged into the site?  The button doesn't show for logged in users.

No, I realize that it doesn't show for logged in users.  Sorry, I hate being a pain.  I know it's a free template and I'm asking for a lot of help.  Reason it's so important is I run targeted facebook ads for the facebook app because, well they are cheap.  My site is only about a month old, and 42 of my 58 members use the facebook connect module.

Have you looked at the database and verified that the entry has been added to sys_menu_service? If the entry is in the table, there's no way it can not appear in the service menu.  You've done a hard refresh on the browser?

I did try a hard refresh..  Cleared my browsing history and tried again.  I will check to see if it's listed in the database table now

Nevermind HL.  Sorry for troubling you.  I'm an idiot lol.  I was running the query to my old database and didn't realize it.  Works perfectly.  Thanks again!

 RE:

 Please stand facing a mirror, and extend your right arm.  Then slap yourself as hard as you can. 

HL I did your mirror trick for you lol...  Just  curious if there is a fix for "Date of birth" in chrome yet?  Clicking to change it doesn't seem to do anything.  Works in IE though

 RE:

 You can download and apply this changeset: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/changeset/17368

Then, since this template does not import any css from the base directory, add this to the end of forms_adv.css for both the NeonGreen and NeonGreenEx templates.

::-webkit-calendar-picker-indicator {
    display: none;
}

** Just applied the changeset on my own site.  I'm not sure how they can call this fixed, because the behavior is different than in other places, like event date.  On the join form, I get selector arrows in the input field that need to be clicked... in all other places you just click on the input field.

i still can´t figure out who to solve this:  

www.holidate.it/holidate    

i have made some changes to your template ,,,but if call

change template or language the box is hidden under a white fog ,,i tried also to change 

body.bx def font / opacity but it is not working buttons are not responding to mouseover and klick.

I know has to be a problem with the:   

div.sys_main_content background-color: #4667

but i can´t figure out how to solve this " :/

kindly 

maurizio 

Yeah that is a bit odd.  But as long as it's usable I'm alright with it.  They only join once, usually.  Thanks

 RE:

1. This is the wrong topic to be posting this

2. The template as provided does not have this problem.  That should narrow things down to something of your own doing.

3. Lose the opacity declaration for  div.sys_main_content {  

Please do not send me PMs to answer any questions about this template.  That will just annoy me, and I don't like being annoyed.  If you have a question, post it here so that everyone can benefit from the answer.

Houston one issue I noticed is with blogs.  When creating a new blog the title box is filled with text "please title your blog.  You'll only have to do this once yadda yadda".  I can't seem to input anything in there though.  I can add a description, and title my blog posts, but can't add a title to the blog as a whole.  

 RE:

Description = Title   However, this really as nothing to do with this template, or any other template.

PLEASE, limit question to things that are at least remotely related to template behavior.

Yes i think i will check for alternative software to launch my " community" i see to much problems in here for 7.1 maybe in future i will give a try again ...

thanks 

maurix

Great Idea.  Bye.

houstonlively thank you very much for this beautiful template :)

people like you make me hope for a good community on Boonex

Thanks..nice...its different!

HL,

How do I remove the option for expert/novice mode for the menus?

 In _header.html ... delete this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".trigger").click(function(){
        $(".panel").toggle("fast");
        $(this).toggleClass("active");
        return false;
    });
});
</script>
<style>
.panel {
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
left: 10px;
display: none;
background: #000000;
border:1px solid #202020;
width: 150px;
height: auto;
padding: 10px;
z-index:200;
}

.panel h3 {
color:#0593F0;
}

a.trigger{
position: absolute;
text-decoration: none;
top: 10px; left: 10px;
font-size: 12px;
letter-spacing:-1px;
color:#8100eb;
padding: 4px;
font-weight: normal;
background:none transparent;
display: block;
z-index:210;
}

a.trigger:hover{
color:#fff;

}

a.active.trigger {
background:none;
}
</style>

In _sub_header.html ... remove this code:

<!-- Begin Slide Out Panel -->
<div class="panel">
    <h3>Select Menu Mode</h3>
<p><a style="font-size:14px;color:#81eb00;margin-left:10px;" href="<bx_url_root />?skin=NeonGreen">NOVICE</a></p>
<p><a style="font-size:14px;color:#81eb00;margin-left:10px;"  href="<bx_url_root />?skin=NeonGreenEx">EXPERT</a></p>
<p style="font-size:9px;">Click 'Mode' again to close this popup</p>
</div>
<a class="trigger" float_info="Click to select Expert or Novice menus" href="#">Mode</a>

<!-- End Slide Out Panel -->

Thanks HL! 

The code is to remove the NOVICE option?

Sorry for the delay here, another member had helped me here.

Is there a way to change the color of top header blocks from green to either white or blue?

i would guess you could change any color you wanted using the css stylesheet in the template.

 RE:

 Those are css3 gradients.  Inspecting the element with Firebug or equivalent, will show you which css to change.  The code below can be found in about 5 seconds.

Thanks!

Is this compatible with v 7.1.2 ? I would not really want to change this template u offered.

 It seems to work with 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 beta ok.

If you want to see it in action try this link here ( it's 7.1.2):

I do have a question about the template if someone can be so kind to help me with this I want to remove that colorful block on the login page to something else how would I do that  I need some help asap almost done and that is the last thing and also how do I change the front page of the login  to a different look

Hi.

First, it is a great template!!!! Thanks for sharing it for free!

I want the service-menu put to the top of the page.

Everything works fine but not on the index-page ......

How can I show the service-menu on every page on the top on the same position?

My changes on css you can see on the images.

Rappi

When I have some time, I'll update the template.  Currently I'm working on Gamma Ray Spectrometry electronics for oil well logging that will keep amused for a while.  Whenever that endeavor seems it is eating my brain, I'll take a break and update the template.  For now, I have about 10,000 pages of technical documentation to digest.  Speaking of which, anyone here have any expertise in embedded firmware for ARM Cortex M3 microcontrollers?

cool, I would love to see the final on this template for dolphin 7.1...

Great job on the menu. That looks HOT! 

Great work HL> I did notice one thing. The 'Outline' won't display a 3rd column on homepage. Not sure why.

towtalk.net/?preview=1&skin=NeonGreen

Also, you might want to change the description:

"The default template for Dolphin, universally suitable for variety of social networking website niches. UNI is optimized for large screen resolutions and features minimalistic layout with vector-based icons (good for "retina" screens)."

 RE:

 It's because you got that skinny-ass, non-standard column width on your home page.  That description is close enough for me.

lol. I luv talkin at you... That skinny assed column is wide enough for all the other templates I use to display 3 columns. At the risk of pissing you off even further, can you please point me to the difference that causes it? I suppose I could just make the column WIDER but I don't really want to.

nEvEr mInD....

I added 9 px to the width and all is well.

All kidding aside. This is very well done.....
