Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for the theme. It's great! I have been modding the style sheet to fit in with my site and wondered if you could help. I'm having trouble finding the settings for the two bits below. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?

I was looking to set the colour of the text to a darker colour, and change the boxes to a lighter shade.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can edit them in the app.css file
#info_center_blocks #block-forum_stats div span.title#info_center_blocks #block-forum_stats div span.totals

Amazing, thank you so much! And thank you again for such a brilliant theme!

Lovely theme. I have one issue with not seeing "News" items displayed. In the default smf theme, this shows in the top right. Do I have to enable something in settings or css?

There is no setting for random news block on this theme.

Oh, so you mean it won't display anywhere I guess.

Yup, only newsfader option I'm afraid.

I can make use of that. Thank you again for a lovely theme!

Hi there, first of all thanks for the amazing Theme, i want to change the forum icons for new posts etc, i already changed the boardicons.png file to a new one https://www.amigosjaponesesantigos.pt/forum/Themes/default/images/boardicons.png but without any changes, what i am missing?

Hallo,
i wan't to change something in my forum-optic, but i need a tip how to do it. The wishes are shown in the attached image.

Thank you!

What would the 'add here' part mean?
Regarding the search, it could introduce a UX problem for your users depending on the size of their screen, they would most likely only take advantage of such change in a large screen.

Add here means the the buttons from upper "removed" Part should be added there.
And the search can be done in the Row with the logo...

I'll have a look when I get some free time, hopefully soon.

Dear Diego,
that sounds really good. Thanks very much

Dear Diego,
i have bought now LikeIPB and this Theme will do all the Things...
But nevetheless, Thank you for your attention...

Hallo,

I have question about this great theme as a newbie:

possible to change font sizes in some areas? Or is there an MOD available which can do this so there is no need to go deep into CSS files?

I can share areas where we want to have it smaller basically - on mobile view and desktop view

Thanks

Yo can add your own CSS to overwrite styles.
Create a file in NameX/css/custom/custom_edits.css

You can also tweak responsive.css for some mobile changes, or include the media queries in the new file.

Ok - but I have no idea about CSS  :'( other than giving a hint where to change it in existing CSS file or providing a code. Just 3 examples:
image #1 - numbers of post - reducing font size
image #2 - on desktop view area of user - avatar smaller - personally I would like to smaller completely
image #3 - can a post be done completely smaller?

if it too much / not possible - I think I nee dot lean more. link to forum is https://forum.depmod.com

Thanks

1: Create a new file in NameX/css/custom/custom_edits.css. Then add the following:
#messageindex #topic_container .board_stats p,
#messageindex #topic_container .board_stats p strong {
font-size: 11px;
}
2: You can change this through the default settings of the forum. Go to Admin > Forum > Attachments and Avatars > Avatar Settings. In there you'll notice four settings related to width and height. Adjust the values to something smaller.

3: I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish. You could hide more things from the poster. For example, in the file you created for the first image, add the following:
#forumposts .poster ul.user_info li.blurb,
#forumposts .poster ul.user_info li.im_icons,
#forumposts .poster ul.user_info li.profile,
#forumposts .poster ul.user_info li.title {
display: none;
}

Thank you

Was more thinking the placeholder of the avatar to make it smaller

Looking more here to make the font smaller for icons, profile, title etc

Don't understand what you are referring to.

Instead of display: none; use font-size.  :)

See attached the avantar from myself and the other admin - Vlad (JVL) - my one is smaller size then the one from Vlad - too big size - but what I'm trying to explain I assume that is a placeholder diameter where the avatar can be added. To check if the diameter can be reduced independently of the size of the avatar itself. Seems for me did 2cm while it would much better than with diameter 1cm

And sorry - one more question on the menu header - possible to ad a custom link / button next to the button "Members"?

Wouldn't know about it. Looks like you're using a MOD, so perhaps it adds the custom size from there, you should ask in the support topic for that MOD.

Check in SMF, search for "adding buttons to the menu". Or install a MOD, there's at least one that lets you modify the menu.

Love this theme! Couple questions:

1) How do I remove the word "Index" from my sitemap name on search engines? I.e. my site shows up on Google as "Website Name- Index". I have done some research and it seems it lives somewhere in the CSS but I can't find it.

2) When I search my forum on Google and click the link, it takes me to my index page instead of the main page of the forum (url ends in .com/?i=1)
When I hit home from that screen, it takes me to the correct page (url ends in .com/index.php?i=1). How do I fix this?

Hello!

1- This has nothing to do with CSS. You have two options to change this:

• Edit Themes/default/languages/index.english.php > Search for Index word, make the string and empty string.
• Install Optimus MOD

2- Not a theme issue either. I'm actually not sure what you're referring to, and it seems like it could be an issue with google.

I recommend you ask in the SMF boards for "general", non theme support, you might get better answers.

Regards

Hi, it's been a while since this forum script was used. Now have read through many threads about this exquisite theme but can't get it to work. It applies to logos. How to enter this under this theme? Or change the name to what the forum is called? I can't find the code that refers to the name. But preferably you want to insert a logo. Can you or you guys write a simple guide how to do this?

In admin > theme settings.
You'll find a setting to set a logo url.

From your screenshot it looks like your had already modified it to display the forum name? In any case the setting should work just fine.

Have put down a URL and from an image host. I can't find the text so you can change My Board to the forum name either.

It shouldn't look like that by default.
Make sure all the files were uploaded, you can use an FTP to browse to /Themes/NameX/

In any case I assume you already setup a logo with the setting?

Found the text My Board but now this comes up when executing - Token verification failed. Please go back and try again.

Usually happens when you go back on the browser or have two tabs open in the admin, not really a theme issue.

Hello,

This theme is superb but I'm having an issue. The "bold", "italic". etc buttons row is now visible on my site. What could be the reason? Thanks!
Example: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gtsshh8ybms40nkq3qlte/buttons_missing.jpg?rlkey=pcxri9kav8yqa47wur70qn0rc&dl=0

Try disabling this option in the admin.
Admin > Forum configuration > Features and options > Minimize CSS and JavaScript files.

In the default SMF theme, "News" items typically appear in the top right corner. Do I need to adjust any settings or CSS to ensure they're displayed?
how about this site? can i also apply here?

The theme does not have a setting for "random news", you need to use the news fader instead.

very well thank you for your advice sir!

Hello Diego Andrés,

First, I want to congratulate you on this beautiful Theme!!
I LOVE IT!!
I only have a small issue, and that is that the ´search button´ on the right is not allowing the Forum Image to expand all the way to right.
Please see attached image

Forum_Image_not_expanding.png

Question: Can we modify this expandable 'Search Button' on the right, or the image to expand underneath's the search button?
Or a simple fix would be to just delete this button, because smf provides another search button on main menu.

I have tried many options on the 'index.template.php' code as other folders...cannot find exactly where this code is written.

Please, how can I do this?

Many Thanks in advance!!

Regards

Never mind Diego, I found it!!

It was a very short line of code to be removed:

                        // Theme Variants
         themecustoms_search();

Now the Image expands all the way to right beautifully!!

Still, to my opinion, NameX is one of the most beautiful themes on smf!!

That's a valid solution!
