Title: Website Upgrade
Post by: Demiveil on November 07, 2012, 09:51:17 PM
Hi folks.

The server software has been upgraded to SMF 2.02 with TinyPortal 1.0
This brings with it a number of improvements and changes.

The site theme has also been modified, and due to this we require a new forum banner image.
So is anyone up to the challenge of creating one?

Should be placed centrally where the current "Gray Style" image is, it should be between 90 - 120 px high and 400 - 600 px wide.


Let me know if you are having any difficulties since this upgrade.

Thank you kindly


Demiveil

If I may suggest something, use this mod http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=111 so people have their group color instead of the grey one and use SimplePortal instead of TinyPortal, it has a ShoutBox feature built-in!

Member Color Link is not compatible with this version of SMF, and the shoutbox on the main page is built in to TinyPortal anyway

Hmm shoutbox doesn't appear for me

About the members color link, you can just emulate it with 2.0 version, I used it with SMF 2.0.2 and worked perfectly!

Ok adjusted the members color link to work now, and it appears to be.
And the shoutbox should be displayed, only on the main page though. I would be surprised if it isn't

Ah apologies, I thought I had set it to be visible to everyone, but as it happens it was only set to be visible for administrators and guests, so even when I logged out it was still there, hence I assumed it was always there.

Should be there now

The password of the server is visibel for all since we uploaded this images lol. Maybe we will need to change it again :/

My avatar image is looking really bad there, but in the posts is looking good

And I can see Grey Style not this logo of SiK

Anyway nice too see that there is an icon of youtube when you are posting, I will not have to write [youtube]link[...

And you can do bigger the screen that you are writing in chatbox and in the screen for post.

Nice Work demi :D

Not bad, not bad.

It's just seems somethings missing, idk.

But don't make that the final size or version cause I'll probably put on a different theme, this one sucks imo.

This theme looks good, the only thing I don't like is the user profile in the banner, but probably doesn't matter.
Ideally we could incorporate the logo already created in the banner, and would be good to include previous winners too if possible.

I love the effort people are putting in to paint over the password, just hit the - on that tile before taking the screen shot.

This theme is quite nice http://www.jpr62.com/theme/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=37
And also this one http://www.dzinerstudio.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=139

I am sure that one of those will fit a lot better than the current theme!

All looks & works good, except shoutbox. I am using Windows 7 with Google Chrome x64. The shoutbox is there, but there are no shouts. Once I click the refresh button the shouts load. This could be fixed by setting an automatic refresh every x seconds, or auto refresh on page refresh.

I am using the same setup as you, but do not have such an issue, so not sure what could be causing that.

Confirmed, I didn't notice it happened when I wasn't logged in. Perhaps its a way to get guests to register / not registered not able to read the shoutbox.
