obelix — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:09:54 -0500

Where do I add to or modify the message "Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum" in posting.php?
Also is it possible to insert a logo in index.php next to the Phorum Title, above the Phorum Description as edited in General Settings?
Thank you.

I have inherited the settings for a forum from another forum, but there is a difference in the look between the two. How is that possible? I made changes to the template, but it shouldn't matter whether I select to inherit the template, or if I go the cutomize way (choosing the same template in any case)

And how does this all relate to the default template setting?

Need help getting background colors right (2 replies)

Anonymous User — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:26:24 -0400

I have changed the background in the Emerald Template from white to light brown color, #FEE9D3, in the settings.tpl. But, in the messages a band of white background shows up, about an inch and a half high. It also shows up at the bottom of the forum in the Global Statistics Section.

I have gone over and over the changes below, but cannot see where I may have missed something -- or, if I have to make a change somewhere else. Can you tell me how I can fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.

I need some changes in template, will pay for it (no replies)

phorum10 — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:37:08 -0400

Hi,

I have to make some changes in the templates of the website. I have not used phorum before so cannot do those myself. These changes are not huge changes, just moving things around and tidy up the pages.

If you are interested then you can email me on javz_1@hotmail.co.uk and i will send you the complete details. I don't want to post details here as i don't want any one to see those.

Thanks

Image url instead of color in "settings.tpl" (2 replies)

Nicola — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 19:24:51 -0500

I am trying to change a VAR on the settings.tpl as follows:

{var navbackcolor url('images/bckg.jpg')}

It's not working. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Tableless XHTML templates? (6 replies)

JAB Creations — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 06:39:10 -0500

There are three goals I have...

1.) An XHTML compliant template.
2.) Tableless layout.
3.) The ability to include my site's own headers and PHP includes in the templates.

Is Phorum flexible enough to let me do this? If so I'm not interested in color schemes as much as I am that a template is XHTML and tableless (I will manually style it myself). Thanks for your replies!

Template to mimic WebBBS (no replies)

PeterMartin — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:47:43 -0500

Can anyone help me modify .tpl files to make Phorum mimic WebBBS? It needs to look like this:

[appalachianforums.com]

I can handle the headers/footers and colors, but I'm not good enough at PHP to modify the list files. (I tried but can't figure it out.) There is no question that Phorum is far more powerful and efficient, and even has a WebBBS-to-Phorum conversion script, but many WebBBS boards refuse to switch unless they can make it "look exactly the same."

One point they insist upon is numbered threads. I never saw the need for this, but on extremely active boards (as above) it becomes impossible to follow very long threads without numbers to act as a reference point while paging thru dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of replies.

I think I can convince over a dozen boards to make the switch if someone can help define a template set with a threaded output that looks like the above forum--numbered threads in a non-columized format.

Thanks in advance if anyone's interested, and to all of you who have worked to design a forum with such an eloquent balance of power and speed.

--Peter

Is there a list? (2 replies)

DavidBradbury — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 03:28:00 -0500

Hello everyone! This is my first post, so I'll give a brief introduction =) - I've been programming in HTML since I first started on the Internet with my 14.4k modem... been using CSS for a few years... and a few months ago, discovered the world of PHP. After getting a good start, I programed a few of my own small apps... which brought me to today.

I decided I would look through a few free PHP applications out there to dissect the code and have some fun. Through some searching, I found out about Phorum. I loved the simplistic, yet powerful feel of it and installed it right away. Now I've been browsing through the forum looking for a nice theme or two to try out before I try coding my own stuff... but I can't really seem to find much besides a long list of questions. Is there a list somewhere that I'm just missing, or do I just need to wade through all the questions?

Anyways, thanks ahead of time and I'm really enjoying Phorum so far :)

(Now I really gotta figure out what to make a site about... I have so many ideas and no clue how to sort them all @_@ )

Haha, anyways, that's a whole different topic.... thanks!

Hi ,
i've been working as a j2ee coder for some time now , never touched php .
i've opened a site some days ago and after looking around decided to go with phorum , setting up utf8 and language files was simple but i would appericate some help with understanding how apache and php work toghter .
how can i "insert" the phorum inside an html file so i can use dir="rtl" and other changes that i want ?
and do u guys know if there's a way to "encapsulate" that html then inside a jsp and somehow block access to it trough tomcat ?
is there a simpler way to run php on a local computer other then the eclipse plugin and installing apache on my computer ?
thanks in advance .

How do I add date posted (of first post) to list.tpl (2 replies)

Mark Fresh — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 08:12:16 -0400

Hi

As I have set "Move Threads On Reply" to no on a couple of forums I would like to add "Date posted" next to the original poster's name and message on the list.tpl template. Hopefully adding this would explain to users the sort order of the threads in those two particular forums.

I've looked on the available template variable page [www.phorum.org] but it's not on the list of available tags for that page. I have tried adding {MESSAGES->datestamp} next to it but that didn't work

Also, as I only want "date posted" to be shown on two forums what would the statement look like on list.tpl to show it in just those two e.g.
show date posted.

If it helps, an example of a page I want to show it on is [www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk]

thanks

Mark

edited as I originally put "9 or 9" not "9 or 5". And whilst I'm here it's version 5.1.24b

Template changes work for Index but not for actual forum? (2 replies)

vt2tahoe — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 14:30:23 -0400

I downloaded a few of these templates, (Eugenol, IceBlue, and CPMexico) and I'm pointing to them under the General Settings and the Default Settings pages. They change the template for the Forum Index (the page that lists all the forums), but the forum itself is staying with the default template.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Embedded Phorum for mobile devices (2 replies)

TomiS — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:42:52 -0400

Hi everybody

We are currently using embedded Phorum on our site. Embedding is done with embed_phorum-module.

We are currently re-designing our site for new generation mobile devices using XHTML MP doctype and layout designed for small screens.

Now what I'd like to know, is:
- Has someone already implemented a phorum layout with XHTML MP?
- If has, can it be used with embedded phorum?
- If hasn't, is it possible to do that, even in theory? I mean, is there some features of the Phorum system that prevent doing a layout for mobile?

Perfect Template example for Phorum (3 replies)

Danielus — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 11:01:12 -0400

We could enhance the default 'silver' template by adding few more corrections so it looks like this: [www.forum-lance.com]

I've been trying to replicate it, but it still didn't look the same. I also like the lines, they look "deep" when you look at them, don't they? Very nice, indeed.

What do you think? Let's make similar template for Phorum. Any ideas how do we achieve border lines to look "deep"? If you look more closely and compare it with default Phorum template, the border lines are different, there is something different in them. I tried to figure out the trick, unsuccesully.

Small details are what make great templates...
