  • Trying to figure out how to edit the links on the top of the theme...

    http://sfa.ods.org/

    any ideas.. I am limited on my knowledge however was able to install everything very smooth (great work by the way for that).

    I would like to change the logo and main image for the site however don't know where to find those things.

    I see in the templates in home and other places where it shows [LINK1] through [LINK5] however it seems that these variables should be accessed somewhere in a form by the way the code calls them out.

    I could be wrong but wanted to see if anyone could / would help me out on this one!!

    3. Open the html/themes/xDesertRat/lang/eng/global.php file and edit the definitions to your
    preferences.
    Note: If you do not need to use all of the header links provided, leave the link titles and
    URLs blank and they will not appear in the theme.

    - and -

    Quote

    _LINKTITLE# Text displayed for the corresponding header link.
    _LINKURL# Website URL for the corresponding header link.

    Hope that helps. :)
  • Hey Wendel,

    You can also try this technique for adding links to a theme:

  • Very nice, Lobos! Thanks for the tip, I will try it out on my next theme venture. :D
  • Thx Gentlemen!

    Will give those a shot.. should be all I need...

    xdesert Rat isn't quite compatible with 760rc4...

    Fails to load modules upon login.. have to reload with 750 gold!

    thx again!!
  • That's odd. I installed it on .750 and .760rc3 -- when .760 final comes out, I will do more testing to ensure functionality.
  • on 750 with Gallery and some others it won't let me edit administrator messages or the admin block...

    everything runs but modules begin to fail all over... couldn't even switch the theme in administration NS-Settings module failed to load...

    Bummer
  • Xdesertrat = Failed to load module NS-Settings (at function: "main")

    It has to be the theme because all modules worked fine until I changed the admin only to xdesertrat.

    I can't run the render / settings / admin messages and who knows what else... now I am going to dig for a config file to change back out of xdesertrat. I like the colors and layout but it keeps breaking!!!

    I have it running on a 760rc3 and It seems to be running fine.. rc4 had problems as well as 750 so I don't have a clue!!!!??? what is it... what am I doing wrong!!??!!
  • hey everyone

    xDeserRat is a Xanthia conversion of my DesRat theme. It seems to have a few problems. The reason I had it converted is because it was having some problems with .750 with security patch 1 even then it was having some issues with pnphpbb2 that i've been trying to fix.

    WENDELL LOOK HERE

    However I recently installed security patch 2 and my original theme works fine with a few strange things like borders around linked images and failing to login from the main screen (I can login via the forums though...weird). When I get around to it I'll fix the CSS (or if someone else does pls post the changed code here)

    Wendell with the security patch I know get this error when trying to view the theme

    Code

    Fatal error: Smarty error: [in modules/home.htm line 29]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'pnphpbbstylesheet' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 556) in /home/desrat/public_html/includes/classes/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1083


    it really seems to not like pnphpbb, however THEY (pnphpbb) are coming out with a NEW workaround for xanthia and Smarty and all that in their next release. thoughts?

    I suggest downloading and installing the security patch 2.

    you can see it in action at http://www.desrat.com/?theme=DesRat

    there is a log in problem I'm getting so I will fix that soon enough

    and you can download it from here http://www.desrat.co…ownloads/DesRat.zip (let me know if this doesn't work)
    when I found it, it was called Sabbat-XP but I feel I changed it just enough to change the name :)

    stay tuned for my changes...

  • I installed xDesertRat today and love it! However after seeing the DesRat site I'd like to add the boxes (blocks?) in the center column also. Could you give me an idea of how to do that?
