I reworked my Koniro Style a little bit, fix some minor problems and renew the archive. The Box outline looks a little bit different in IE6 and Firefox but I'm not able to fix this. Its an IE problem.

Demo (hope it work): http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/board/ubbthreads.php/ubb/previewskin/skin/2

Download here

The archive contains 2 sample screenshots and a simple example header file.

I like your nonewposts/newposts images

feel free to take them

Nice work Zarzal

I grabbed the style. It looks great for my site.(Still developing)
One question, the Nav links at the bottom of the last post -
"Previous Topic Index Next Topic" have a "On Focus" property that makes them change color, bu the almost disappear.
When I looked at http://www.validusguild.com/forums they don't do it.
What and where is it that I have to change so they don't do it on my site?


Larry

thats the main problem with this style. This is just a:link and cant be set separate. It is used anywhere and I have set it to a color that work in most plces but these navigation links are on background I wrote it in suggestions that I need a class for this to set it. I dont found a way in .css to solve this problem without a own class.

Who did it on http://www.validusguild.com/forums ??

It doesn't change color there.

Thats from Mors

It seems he use an older version of my style and in this version I miss the a:link hover defination. You can just set it in the special link properties of the body defination in the style editor. Remove the hover settings or change it to what you like. You can remove the color string in the hover settings, thats should do it.

Thanks, worked fine.
Just had to change the color and then do an import.

I didnt change the rollover link.. Is that what you're asking? it's an easy fix..

I like how the background color for each comment in the "shout box" toggles vertically.

Is there a way to do that with the forum/thread/post lists?

No way yet without altering the templates.

How do you alternate he bg in the Shout Box ?

The shoutbox uses alt-1 and alt-2 so it inherits its properties automagically.

Although, you'd think it'd use left-alt-1 and left-alt-2 (depending on the side of the screen, coudl be right

I update my style for V7.1
All needed changes for the buttons included. I append it to this posting.

I love your style sheets and so do my users.

I have an idiot question....
How do I update the existing Koniro to the new version?

So my users do not have to select a new stylesheet to get the new version of this?

mmhhh, good question maybe delete the old one and import the new one but I'm not sure if this the right way to do this.

In short, the hard way is to import it, then use PHPMyAdmin and edit the new style, copy the new stuff, then put it in the old style; otherwise you'd have to delete it and then import the new one and users would have to update to the new one.

Or, I guess you could import, then edit the old one and use the "use settings from another stylesheet" option...

Or, if its your defautl stylesheet, you could just install the new copy then set the new copy as your default...

This is a very good question/point.

With new versions of threads being released we will only get more new versions of the same theme being released - so we really need an easy method to replace themes - unless there is and we do not realise it

Yeh, I think we need something more than "edit", "delete", and "copy from", such as "replace with".

If you do not somehow change the name of the stylesheet .css file the user's browser will not necessarily notice that the file is changed and request a new one.

What I'd do is make my file names a number, then when I update my css I'd increment the file name by one number. This changes the file and forces the browser to get a new one.

I change my webspace. All my ubb related files can be found at

http://www.dragon-clan.de/ubb/

My links in this thread to the archive files will be dead soon.

Thanks Zarzal - I have updated the first post

there is double // in the changed link, Ian. Please can you fix it?

Done

Danke

Willkommen

oops sorry - thanks Gizmo

Lol not a problem... Funny thing was i did this just as I was running out the door

This site appears to be offering / allowing the download of the actual UBB installation files in German.

These are purely the language files I think you will find.

Should a piracy issue arise, I'm sure that piracy@infopop.com or piracy@groupee.com would love to hear about that should that be the case...

As for what can be distributed, AFAIK the only "stock" files allowed to be shared are the language files; anything else can only be "how to modify" files (hence why the modifications at UBBDev are just instructions and addon files vs actual files).

I'm more than sure however, that Zar wouldn't violate his licensing agreement since, as most of us, his forum is the heart of his site...

I had a look and all i could see were language files.

I can't see Zarzal who is a mod at UBBDev distributing files other than language files.

Thanks Ian, no problem - just a cursory look made it look possible and I didn't know the person.

Any Problems? I cant follow right now. I put all ubb related files in one directory of my webspace. All files there are linked here in this board. Most of them are german translation for various versions and some styles, nothing else. All files are made by me.
Is something wrong?

No - I think ntdoc thought they contained scripts & files, but they just contain language files, which are the only files we are allowed to release in full to anyone else, once translated.

I think NT has been partaking in the stash of what seems like paprica in his garage...

We used to call that CHOKING RED HASH back in Germany

We call it "toking the ganj" in my ghrotto

Update for V7.2
Changes the new postings in postlist to bold
Changes the width of form input to solve a problem in the right sidebar

Thanks Zaral but what about the fixed width / height that are in the original?

Would prefer not having fixed units like that. A lot more work but would be nice if the CSS could handle the IE limitations and allow auto for others like FireFox.

I add for .form-input a "width: 97%;" You can remove it if you like.
Without this I enconuter some trouble with the layout. Sometimes the middle box is broaden and it is not alligned anymore with my header. This can be solved with this entry.

please remove the .form-input width setting. I found a better way to solve it. Go to extra properties and add:

.body_col textarea.form-input {
width: 99%;
}

This fix it for me and you can resize the browser window all the time and it work as it should.

thanks Zarzal I'll try to give it a test drive this weekend.

This little trick works in all styles and fix the body_col if quick reply is enabled.

I just installed 7.2.1 on my site.
When I first brought it up every other message in some of the forum was BLACK, couldn't see what was there, but if you click on it teh topic would come up. It would not go BLACK again. If fact some of the other returned to normal.
I tried a "Mark all read" and that seemed to cure,
But still some users are reporting it's still happening.
Any ideas???

The site is Barnegat Fishin' Hole

LarE, yes it's a simple thing.

go to your cpanel, styles editor..

edit your style

open 'Forum Summary properties'

you will see 24 'Copy' links on the right..

click the lower 6 copy links..

save your style..

Yep that works as SD says. He helped me with that the other day and works great. Thanks again SD.

Thanks guys.
I did it and the 'Update Preview Area' had a black bar and now doesn't.

Just an Update for UBB.threads V7.3

No I can't see it either. The demo link in the first posts is 404.

ok, I dont try the link in post #1. Take it from posting #212325:
http://www.dragonclan-forum.de/board/ubbthreads.php/ubb/previewskin/skin/2
The system how it work was changed in 7.3 a little bit and I cant edit the first post.

I have updated the demo link in the first post

thank you

this is nice template but its not working with update 7.5.3 can u please update for us

thank u

Try ubbSkins.com
It has a newer version that may work better for you.

I don't see those image files in the unzipped download mentioned above.

According to Zarzal in response to Gizmo you can just hijack them from his site.

:::Possible Stupid Question Alert:::

I downloaded this from UBBSkins and for some reason the diagonal stripes don't show-up.

Any idea what I might have done incorrectly?

what stripes? could you be more specific?

OH I think I know, you are talking about the tiled background
image.
there are around eight files that should have been uploaded to
/styles/images/koniro/
The background image would be,
/styles/images/koniro/bkg2.png
If that is indeed where you uploaded the files then check to see if you uploaded them in ascii ,if you did the file is corrupt.
Also I noticed some of the gradient images are not working.
So it may be you uploaded them to the wrong location

Since we don't have a url to your site I can only guess what the full path should be.(Put it in your profile)
I found your site by viewing one of your other posts.

Very nice skin. Going to install this.
