Questions re. Modifying Prosilver

Post by GrannyT »

Please can someone tell me:

Which file I change 'Your new ModphpBB3 Forum' in the header?

Where I change the background colour of the Shoutbox, Welcome and Who is Online mods?

I'm working on changes to Prosilver and have saved it as a new style and set it as default but it doesn't show until I log in - if I view as a guest it's Prosilver. Any idea what I've done wrong please?

The title is set in your ACP - Board settings.

Background colours will be set in your styles colours.css file.

You need to make the style default in board settings for the whole board as guests, etc until a member changes it in their cp.

The Knowledge Base on phpbb.com is always good to pick up info like this. It is worth a read.

Hah - thought I was on a roll but have ground to a halt again. :shock: I'm trying to put a repeating background image into the theme I'm adapting from Prosilver.

I tried adding

html, body {
color: #536482;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url(”{T_THEME_PATH}/images/bg_main.gif”);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

into styles/adapted/theme/colours.css and then refreshed but nothing changed so then I tried adding

body {
/* Text-Sizing with ems: http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/ */
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #828282;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url("T_THEME_PATH}/images/bg_main.gif");
/*font-size: 62.5%; This sets the default font size to be equivalent to 10px */
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0;
padding: 12px 0;

in styles/adapted/themes/stylesheet.css and refeshed but still nothing. Advice please before I totally mess up?

In colours.css find:

Code: Select all

html, body {
   color: #536482;
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
change to:

Code: Select all

html, body {
   color: #536482;
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
   background-image: url('http://www.yourdomainname/images/yourimage.gif');
}
Obviously adding the image you want to root images and changing the above url to reflect. Then purge theme files in admin.
