Have you guys ever considered using one "last 5 posts block" and css to control the appearence, instead of a different block for each theme. I don't use your block, but I took the one from saarport and changed and added classes and the one block changes with the themes. Important if you allow theme changes by users. Instead of distributing a different block with each theme, a single block could be distributed with instructions to add the classes to the style sheet if they wanted to use the block. Or, add the classes anyway and if they didn't use the block it wouldn't be that much extra baggage. Preferably the first option.
These are the classes I added to accomplish the task (this one is for Aeolus):
Code:
table.bbftbl {
border: 2px outset #75919F;
}
td.bbfcolone {
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/forums/images/post_bg.gif);
border-bottom: 1px solid;
border-right: 1px solid #75919F;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
}
td.bbfcolonetitle {
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/forums/images/post_bg.gif);
border-bottom: 1px ridge #000000;
border-right: 1px ridge #000000;
border-top: 1px ridge #000000;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
}
td.bbfcoltwo {
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/images/7px.gif);
border-bottom: 1px solid #75919F;
border-right: 1px solid #75919F;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
}
td.bbfcoltwotitle {
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/images/7px.gif);
border-bottom: 1px ridge #000000;
border-right: 1px ridge #000000;
border-top: 1px ridge #000000;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
}
td.bbflastcol {
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/forums/images/post_bg.gif);
border-bottom: 1px solid #75919F;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
}
td.bbflastcoltitle {
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/forums/images/post_bg.gif);
border-bottom: 1px ridge #000000;
border-top: 1px ridge #000000;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
}
td.bbftns {
background-color: #75919F;
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/images/hdr_bg.gif);
color: #FAFAFA;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
}
td.bbftotals {
background-image: url(/themes/Aeolus/images/cellpic.gif);
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica;
font-size: 10px;
height: 20px;
}
This is the block I use with the classes added. It has totals, sitename and slogan.
