Title: Metro UI
Post by: RealCop1993 on May 24, 2014, 10:42:27 PM
Hello there, i'm checking this amazing site from time to time it's sad that it's not so active with this level of unique look style...
The question is how the heck you menaged Metro UI with theme, i made something similiar, metro ui since i made some metro theme, but i can't menage to merage UI with SMF, only way i did it it was SSI way but SSI is just stupid coz you can't do so much with it. I'm cerious can you spare the magic of your knowelage and show me the way i should go or it's just part of SMF Hispano?

Thanks for reading,

We are using a Portal for showing the blocks in the home page if is that what you are refering.
However, could you be more specific on what you are looking to do?

Thank you for apreciating our work.

Well, thanks for answer.
Im not speaking about portal it's main page..
(https://smftricks.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fzaslike.com%2Ffiles%2F0tlihhtjrpc14cf3f3vj.png&hash=30e60e8fc8cc09eb56815c11969c8e7b0b41a552)

or maybe it is part of portal with html code?
I don't have trobles with CSS part i made something smiliar to METRO UI style like that but i don't know how to do the code part, so it will be part of theme not only html page portal like many forums use.

Yes I understand what you're saying.
But as I say, we are using a portal, we just edited manually the home page of the portal. So why we use a portal? Because we still want the other features like the blocks in some other places.

As for the code, we are using a modified template: http://themeforest.net/item/metromega-responsive-html5-metro-template/5497931 (http://themeforest.net/item/metromega-responsive-html5-metro-template/5497931)

Aha i see, i bought the template because it's to damn epic... Just i wonder how can i integrate it to the homepage of the forum like you guys did? So it will be the part of the forum not just a template php code in derectory files if you understand...

And thanks for all answers i hope that i'm not annoying!

You just build a normal theme.
The home is pure HTML from the template and just some conditionals  :P

Thats sweet, i like it! :)


elem, Diego if it's pure html how did you get User infos like username,pm info message is it connected with forum datebase then you read it from it like this example?

$con=mysqli_connect("host","base","password","user");

Or it's another way?
I'm just cerious since i'm trying to make something like this. The Hispano theme and portal are something amazing. I'm not trying to copy or something like that just wanna make something on my own on similiar way.

Cause as I said it's built inside a portal, so you can already make use of everything available in SMF  :P
You just use the same variables and use some "ifs" to decide what to show and for who

Oh now i understand, i just put my html code in the portal page as html code and it will work, then i can use variables and local functions!!! Thats sweet i'll try it. :)
