Hi all,

We're porting our clubs site to use nuke / phpbb and are trying to use the XP type themes. The themes installed OK, except they don't seem to display quite right. On the index page there are white backgrounds where i think there should be colored ones. On the forum page, the forum doesn't seem to follow the right side of the browser, as it does in the screen shots in the gallery.

here's a link to the index page
http://209.210.239.243/~calgaryjeep.com/index.php

and the forum page
http://209.210.239.243/~calgaryjeep....hp?name=Forums

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

ok, you can try and see if your index setting is set to 0 or 1 in the index of your news module and forums module. go into modules/Forums/index.php and modules/News/index.php and open them in a text editor. find the lines that say/;

if its set to 1, then the error is something else. if its 0, change it to 1 and reupload it, then try it. do this with both index's.

We were able to fix most of the problems with the XPOlive theme. Here is a summary of what we found:

- the problem with the theme not expanding to the full width of the browser was that a table had a fixed width. This was really only apparent on my screen (I run 1600X1200). We made the table a relative width.

- in theme.php, there were several background colors that were referencing other themes, or table cells with the wrong background color completely.

- The global message was appearing off the screen because the table to the left of it was too wide.

We also changed the font size to 1 smaller, but that is probably more personal preference more than anything else.

if you would like i can post a full diff of the changes.

Yes, if you could please post the diffs or PM them to me, that would be great and we could update that theme pack. Funny thing though. I downloaded that pack right after I saw your post, installed it on my test site and had no problem with it..at least not the ones you had. I am running at 1280x1024

you have a message.

I work with Stickman. I also found an error in index_body.tpl 'Catrow' is missing the <tr></tr> tags and thus it does not shrink the categories properly.

Thanks Greenie. Can you let me know the file and line where you found this so I can update the Pack?
Thanks

line: 28-30
the 3 TD tags should be enclosed by open and close TR tags.

I'm also not sure what fix Stickman sent you for the theme.php. I had commented out the broadcast message in the one you got but have fixed it since, so broadcast message works with our current setup.

Thanks, I'll update the pack. stickman sent me the fix for a couple wrong BG colors and reference to a different theme and a fixed table width in the theme.php..I checked the broadcast message and it works.

thanks
