Are you using the correct PHP version on your server that is compatible with both Phorum and the code you are trying to use?

Ok that explains that. In the settings file there are various colors defined for specific variables used somewhere.
I tried changing some of the values based on what I thought the vaiables might be used for. No effect. I searched files for occurances of variable names such as body+background_color and found no occurrences. On what template are these variables used?

These are color var settings from emerald template"

{! -- colors -- }
{VAR body_background_color "white"}
{VAR default_font_color "black"}
{VAR default_background_color "white"}
{VAR alt_background_color "#edf2ed"} {! -- should compliment default_background_color -- }
{VAR highlight_background_color "#f0f7f0"} {! -- should compliment the two above -- }
{VAR border_color "#4d894d"}
{VAR border_font_color "white"}
{VAR quote_border_color "#808080"}
{VAR pre_border_color "#c4c6a2"}
{VAR pre_background_color "#feffec"}
{VAR link_color "#355f35"}
{VAR link_hover_color "#709ccc"}
{VAR new_color "red"}
{VAR logo_background_color "#78ad78"}
{VAR breadcrumb_border_color "#b6b6b6"}
{VAR post_moderation_background_color "#fffdf6"}
{VAR information_border_color "#62a762"}
{VAR information_background_color "#e6ffe6"}
{VAR warning_border_color "#a76262"}
{VAR warning_background_color "#ffd1d1"}
{VAR span_addition_background_color "#cbffcb"}
{VAR span_addition_font_color "#000000"}

That part I know. The other thing I know is that I don't know what I'm doing when I edit those files. ;)

You must edit this file settings.tpl, css.tpl , to customize the template to template wordpress

Need template developer

wcpreston — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 03:14:41 -0500

I'm getting really close to going production with phorum and I'm excited! One final thing is to have a Phorum template that somewhat mocks my Wordpress one. To do this, I need to do this:

1. Copy the header and footer from the Wordpress template to the Phorum template
2. Change the colors of the Phorum template to match the Wordpress template
3. If possible, change the font to match the Wordpress template

I'm happy to pay for the work.

I'm using other spam blocking modules now. So the fact that this one didn't work is no big deal :(

I'm using the spam hurdles module and I get this error:

Warning: Incompatible template files detected

Not all template files contain the template hook {HOOK "tpl_editor_before_textarea"} that is required for the posting protection to work. If your Phorum site is using the following template files, then check them against the template files in the Phorum distribution and add the required hook code to them:

The screenshots of your template look great, unfortunately the uploaded template doesn't produce the same look. Your folder structure is incorrect or your stylesheet links in header.tpl are incorrect.

Also an FYI for people looking to download this, it's currently only coded for flat list view and flat read view, the the threaded and hybrid views are incomplete.

I honestly think this template has great potential and gives Phorum a fresh clean look, it's just a shame it's still in beta.

Gaming template?

Gsquadron — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 16:03:38 -0500

Hello,
I am new to Phorum forum and was into it right away.
I liked the look and feel of it.
One thing I disliked though was: Themes.
I cannot find themes very easily. There should be a themes section or button, not inside the forums themselves.
Anyway, I was in search of a gaming theme.
Can anyone help?

Andy from Switzerland noticed that the Mobile Template shows a wrong date for "Last post" when there isn't any post. It seems that a null value is interpreted as 1-1-1970...

Ok, after many trials and tribulations, I have finally been able to make this template work on all fronts. I am slowly but surely figuring this stuff out! Turns out you can declare the css file in the header and that is what I did along with adjusting the css file in the forum directory.

Anyways, here's what it looks like. I'm thinking it turned out pretty nice. I even made a few helpful HTML help pages that I linked to in the top which hopefully will make BB-Code easier for my non technical members.

The following discussion about how to build a static page with template style is found here.

Re: Template: Global Business

rchecka — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:12:05 -0400

Scott, I appreciate you sticking with me on this but it's not worth it any more. The html pages on my site are functioning just fine, the header and footer are working without the include statement, and I just can't justify spending another day after today for something this minor.

FYI, that static pages module doesn't work. You can edit the sample page and it doesn't show you your changes. You can create a new page that doesn't work it bombs out. I dug thru all that code and because it's module code it's not the same as the simple php with html that I'm trying to accomplish.

Also, adding include_once( "./common.php" ); says "cannot modify the header" and I've tried digging around for the code in the other locations you provided without any luck. I know others probably know the way to do this but I guess I don't know the secret handshake because I get answers like "Oh maybe you should look at emerald, to understand the software better, there's only 100 files in there so figure it out." I don't have time to understand all the ins and outs of this old-ass software, all I want is a simple static page that calls the header and that's apparently not gonna happen unless I know the secret handshake.

It should be easy to accomplish this, but the documentation on how phorum calls the header or footer isn't in the developer pages which I read 5x. That developer pages documentation is, I'll just say it, horrible. It's like one sentence per page of useless info that reads like a stereo manual written for a guy who builds stereos for a living. It is not even remotely helpful and frankly I think it's archaic looking and should be scrapped for documentation that actually goes through the logical flow of the programming with examples of how to make something that actually matters. Something as simple as phorum starts with this file and moves to this file next and so on would be helpful but you are expected to just guess or go thru all the code to find out and that's ridiculous. I got more of that php to work on external sources than I did from that documentation, so what does that tell you.

But as for you, I appreciate all the help you offered around here, you are an asset to this place. Thanks again.

If you wish to add "stuff" that is imported automatically in Phorum, you need to ...
This is from index. p h p this is where you land in Phorum if your URL doesn't name some specific page.

Language: PHP

 
// name your page, then replace ';index'; with the page name, if you don';t it may not work (see also read.php)  //
define(';phorum_page';,';index';);
 
include_once( "./common.php" );
 
include_once( "./include/format_functions.php" );

... and then locate where and how the template (in common. p h p) and css are called and duplicate it.

Did you look at Module: Static Pages ? And yes there is a learning curve here also. It may simplify your life, or make it more complicated. No I have not tried this module.

Re: Template: Global Business

rchecka — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:32:19 -0400

Ok, here is what I got so far, you can see it's functioning without the search bar, the breadcrumbs or the log in and log out options.

The ONLY reason it is working is because I took the code that does function from the header and pasted it directly in the page before the body starts. I obviously don't want to do that, I just want to call the header so it will just do it's thing.

Likewise I pasted functioning footer code directly on that page and likewise I'd rather just call it with the proper command.

Here is the code I am using right now for this...

Language: PHP

if ($PHORUM[';DATA';][';CHARSET';]) {
    header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=".htmlspecialchars($PHORUM[';DATA';][';CHARSET';]));
    echo ';;.$PHORUM[';DATA';][';CHARSET';].';"?>';;
} else {
    echo ';';;
}

Can I get some specific help on that one little part so I can please be done with this?

Thanks!

^Scott, I appreciate the help but I'm sorry, I just don't understand where those values are declared. I looked at global_styles.css and I don't see anything in there. I just went thru half the template files looking for where you are seeing this and I am not finding the smoking gun.

Regarding testing it out in a sub folder, I thought of doing this, and I'd still like to, but I'm afraid of putting another database on my server, I'm just afraid I'll screw up my current forum's database.

Where and how are you seeing this

Scott Finegan
Your paths don't match where your template is located. May be as simple as a missing / . or dot.
Landing/Home page :  h t tp://cratedig  ging. co/templates/global/global_style.css
General Discussion :   h t tp://cratedig  ging. co/list/templates/global/global_style.css

Where and how are you seeing this

I am using Firebug to look at the html code behind the scenes and I still don't even see how that tells me what files declare these urls.

Can you tell me specifics as to what I am missing?

Also, why would it be ok with the simple blue template and not the global? Was this a mistake on user Pemba's part or did I not flip the right switch?

This is very frustrating, I am trying to figure it out with the help you are giving me but I'm not there yet with you.
