Template: Global Business

Just playing around with a template based on the standard lightweight.

I'll make some improvements over time. Feedback welcome.

Your designs are beautiful!

This is one of the cleanest, nicest templates I've ever seen for Phorum. I tried to make it work with mine and I got all your surrounding elements. Is this template available just with the guts (the inner HTML stuff only, not the outer borders and icons and such) or could you show me how to edit the template for my icons and links instead.

Sorry I know this is a newb question, but I haven't touched my template in years and it's time for a change.

Figuring out what to change, or add requires you to have an idea where it is coming from to begin with. You should have a browser like FireFox that supports Firebug or equivalent (Chrome?), and learn its basic uses.

So I am editing this template now for use and things are going smoothly as I substitute my elements for the ones built into this template.

I am using simple blue in the meantime while I edit this template.

I have run into one problem though, maybe someone can help me identify where to fix this template so the background top and sides stay with the first page. In other words, it looks great until I click on any sub forum or off the primary page and at that point it can't find the background and top and side images.

How do I make the template stick on more than the primary page? Is there something wrong with the template or did I forget a step?

Thanks in advance.

There is an index tpl, a list tpl, and read tpl, plus a lot of others. you probably need to adjust them all.

probably some related links to images, not starting with / and you are using a sef module which generates different links for the forums.
check the settings.tpl and if its not only there, you probably have to check all the templates as scott suggested.

Thanks Thomas and Scott. I finally have time to work on it, so I'm working on it now.

I'm sorry to be a pest, but can one of you guys get me started on doing this?

I can't find the variables that need to be changed to get the template that works just fine when you are at cratedigging.co...

It looks like this...



...but then as soon as you click on any of the forums it goes back to this



I looked in all the .tpls mentioned and the info.php and the settings and I am not seeing where this is controlled from primary page to each sub forum.

If you get me started down the right path for one of the modules, I think I can apply that to each spot that needs changing.

ALSO I'm not sure why this would be happening since the other templates when turned on don't do this.

The only template I see is simple blue on any page as an unregistered visitor.
