Several questions about Ortem skin

[Myst]

Hello guy's,

 

I'm working on a new project for my studies and I have some questions about Ortem skin by IPBforumskins.com.

I am doing research on google, but it turns out that the 'forum skins' on IPBforumskins is restricted for customers accounts.

 

So I think you can help me to fix my problems.

 

 

1- How can I change the header colour ?

When I change the color of the site with the brush button, the header is not associated. Can we do associate the header colour to this option ? Or change it manually ?

 

2- How can I manage the social button bar ?

By default there is only two button : twitter and facebook, but I need Google+ for example. I know where the button are in my ftp, but I don't know what to change in the ACP///)

 

3- How can I switch back the Topic View to a lateral bar instead of the horizontal design?

Because the horizontal design is weird...

 

4- How can I exactly change the logo ?

I've done some tests but I don't know why my logo is not showing up instead of "Ortem"...

 

5- I've got the same problem as

I don't find the second file that @Born2be mention called "post template code;" so I didn't change arnything...

 

6- Is it possible to restrict the brush pencil button to some groups ?

For example, is it possible to give only the permission to use it to the Administrators ? 

Is it possible to modify it to become an administration button like the option to change the language or the skin of the forum in the footer?

 

 

 

Here it is, I'm sorry I've got a lot of questions, but Ortem is a bit different than the skins I usually use. And I don't find any FAQ or Tuto on how to use this skin !

I think these questions can interest other members. =)

1. you can change the header color in the ipb_styles.css template

 

find;

#branding {

and change the 

background: #2d333b;

to what ever hex color code you are wanting the branding color to be.

 

 

 

 

2. You can manage the social bar in the _ipbfsConfig and the globalTemplate. in the globalTemplate you can find it by copy/pasting in the browser search the code below;

<div id='socialButtons' class='right

the code above, will take you straight to the section in the globalTemplate you need to be to edit the social bars and so on.

 

 

 

3. to change the horizontal design in topic view you will need to go into the following templates and change the following code;

<if test="$this->settings['horizontalTopicView']='yes'"></if>

and change the yes to a no.

 

These are the following templates you are going to need to do this in.

userinfopanetopicViewTemplatepost

4. first of all to change the logo you need to go to the _ipbfsConfig and change the textLogo to no instead of yes, then upload you're logo, easily done.

 

 

5. If you send me a personal message with you're forum link and admincp account I can sort it for you since I did provide what was meant to be done, but you didn't understand.

 

6. you can restrict that very easily. for example.

 

you need to rap the brush icon code in the globalTemplate with an if statement.

 

so for example here is the code.

<if test="in_array( $this->memberData['member_group_id'], array( '3','6','7' ) )"><if test="$this->settings['themeEditor']=='yes'"><li><a href="#" id='toggleThemeEditor' title="Toggle Theme Editor"><img src="{style_images_url}/toggleThemeEditor.png" alt="" /></a></li></if></if>

and this code will make the brush icon only display to the groups 3, 6 & 7 you will need to change the numbers, to the numbers of the groups you want it to show to

 

If you need any help upon these things, or don't understand like I said just contact me via personal message.

Hey thanks for your help Born2be !

 

I just reinstall everything properly and it set my 5th issue! Weird. xD

 

I have fix everything I needed but I've got some question about the brush restriction.

I haven't enough explained what I wanted to do.

How can I force the site to display the colors I want and prevent members from using the brush? I saw that there was an option to disable the brush, is this the right way? If so, how do I change the colors manually afterwards?

You can change the default colors of the brush in the ipbforumskins.js which is located in the /js/ folder in the skin folder directory.

 

send me a personal message with details on what groups you want to see the brush icon, and an admin account and url. I'll sort that for you if you want.

I'll pm you that right now ! =)
