Title: title bar of block
Post by: texasman1979 on December 05, 2011, 03:21:50 AM

i did the standard fix of moving the portal.css to the theme folder on version 2.3.3 and it worked fine, but with this new version and this theme, it seems to not be enough.

upper left corner of block. would appreciate a fix for that. thx

There have been a few discussions on this topic with various solutions.

This is what I did to fix my issue. Find this in portal.css.

Code: [Select]

h4.catbg span.left, h4.catbg2 span.left, h3.catbg span.left, h3.catbg2 span.left, .table_list tbody.header td span.left {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    height: 31px;
    width: 9px;
}
and add a margin to it.

Example:

Code: [Select]

h4.catbg span.left, h4.catbg2 span.left, h3.catbg span.left, h3.catbg2 span.left, .table_list tbody.header td span.left {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    height: 31px;
    width: 9px;
    margin: -6px 0 0 0;
}

The -6px handles the top margin. It will vary depending on the theme but mess around with that number and see what you can come up with.

 ;)

This will help you the most....

Look under the "SOURCES" folder and find SUBS-PORTAL PHP file

Find the Main_Block PNG and adjust to your liking

You may have to adjust the height to make things align

Becareful when editing a PHP file.

If you want to convert this into CSS we can help you there too.

I've had this issue on several of my forums now since the release of 2.3.4 so thought I would share my solution. Basically this is decalring the background of this section in the CSS.

Why this works I don't know but for me it does !

Basically find this in portal.css:

Code: [Select]

h4.catbg span.left, h4.catbg2 span.left, h3.catbg span.left, h3.catbg2 span.left, .table_list tbody.header td span.left
{
float: left;
display: block;
width: 9px;
height: 31px;
}
and then add the extra line:

Code: [Select]


h4.catbg span.left, h4.catbg2 span.left, h3.catbg span.left, h3.catbg2 span.left, .table_list tbody.header td span.left
{
float: left;
display: block;
width: 9px;
height: 31px;
background: url(../images/theme/main_block.png) no-repeat 0 -160px;
       
}

You might have to adjust the values in that extra line for your theme.

Hope this helps someone.

Texasman, you seem to have a theme that uses transparant corners in the title bar.
This is not compatable with the current version of Simple Portal, which is trying to be compatable with the 2.0 RC versions of Curve as well as with the most current version.

to fix this, you will need to change the template file for the block titles, to use cat_bar and catbg in the same way the current version of CURVE uses it.

Several other Simple Portal users have used this approach.

just 2 days ago i got laid off, so the last couple months have been a bit tough. bare with me. :)

i tried the 2 example code changes and it did not fix it.

would someone go into a bit more detail on the last example?

what specific files to change with what.

my brain is on overload at the moment.

thx

The changes will be made in Portal.template.php.
The exact change you make could depend on your theme.

But here is where you start:

Code: (find) [Select]

      echo '
   <h3 class="', $block['style']['title']['class'], '"', !empty($block['style']['title']['style']) ? ' style="' . $block['style']['title']['style'] . '"' : '', '><span class="left"></span>';
What to change this to? That depends on your theme.
In CURVE, I can see, in Display.template.php,

Code: (in CURVE) [Select]

            <div class="cat_bar">
               <h3 class="catbg">
                  <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/topic/', $context['class'], '.gif" align="bottom" alt="" />
                  <span id="author">', $txt['author'], '</span>
                  ', $txt['topic'], ': ', $context['subject'], ' &nbsp;(', $txt['read'], ' ', $context['num_views'], ' ', $txt['times'], ')
               </h3>
            </div>';
See how a div with class cat_bar is used? and there is no span with class left?  I can change my simpleportal template to use that.  If I were using a totally curve-based template with transparent corners, I would do:

Code: (replace) [Select]

      echo '
            <div class="cat_bar">
                <h3 class="', $block['style']['title']['class'], '"', !empty($block['style']['title']['style']) ? ' style="' . $block['style']['title']['style'] . '"' : '', '>';

And then, just a few lines further,

Code: (find) [Select]

</h3>';

Code: (replace) [Select]

                </h3>
            </div>'

This should work with any theme that is sufficiently CURVE-like, even if it has transparent corners in the title-bar sprites.
If not, then you will need to use more information from your theme.

texasman -- if you can come up to Simple Portal 2.3.5, you may find that the problem is solved for you already.
