Problems with Softblue template

[PaNtheris]

I am experiencing problems with Softblue template. Using easymod it is difficult to install any mod, because the error occurs. For exaple i tried to install quick reply mod - error, tried to install keep unread flags - error and so on

Any suggestions?

Don't use EasyMOD and do the edits by hand

[PaNtheris]

I tried, but it is not easy to do all by hand.

I did everything by hand adding quick reply mod, but it still not working
Mod creators says it is only for subsilver template and i can not get any proper support

[Arty]

instead of searching for exact match, search for similar code, and instead of replacing whole block look at what's being changed and do similar changes to softblue's tpl files.

[PaNtheris]

Thank you for advice, but i am not expert on html coding. So the only way to me is, to look for similar matches and to change it corretly or to ask for support.

I'll tried both

Then just post here what you need to find and what you need to replace it with.

Ok, thanks.

At first :

#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl

#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
</head>

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- My Quick Reply Mod -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function qr_show_hide() {
var id = 'qr_open';
var item = null;

if (document.getElementById) {
item = document.getElementById(id);
}
else if (document.all) {
item = document.all[id];
}
else if (document.layers) {
item = document.layers[id];
}

if (item && item.style) {
if (item.style.display == "none") {
item.style.display = "";
}
else {
item.style.display = "none";
}
}
else if (item) {
item.visibility = "show";
}
}
</script>
<!-- My Quick Reply Mod -->

I did everything with my softblue template, added this script before " / head " tag.

Second step.

#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/posting_smilies.tpl


#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
if (opener.document.forms['post'].message.createTextRange && opener.document.forms['post'].message.caretPos) {

#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
if (eval(opener.document.forms['post'].input)) {
if (opener.document.forms['post'].input.createTextRange && opener.document.forms['post'].input.caretPos) {
var caretPos = opener.document.forms['post'].input.caretPos;
caretPos.text = caretPos.text.charAt(caretPos.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? text + ' ' : text;
opener.document.forms['post'].input.focus();
} else {
opener.document.forms['post'].input.value += text;
opener.document.forms['post'].input.focus();
}
}
else {

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
opener.document.forms['post'].message.value += text;
opener.document.forms['post'].message.focus();
}

#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
}



I did everything in my template.

Next step.

#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------

I did everything in my template, but intuition says to me, that there is something wrong in this tpl, because, when i do everything i can see quick reply button but i can't use it, it is only like some not working imagine or not working java script.

Every next step is done by easymod, because it is not realated with specific template.

Thank you a lot for your time.

Add first part of code after this:

Code: Select all

	<td align="right" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><br /><span class="nav">{PAGINATION}</span> 
	  </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
	<td align="left" colspan="3"><span class="nav">{PAGE_NUMBER}</span></td>
  </tr>
</table>

and before that code block add this:

Code: Select all

<table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">

and after it add </table><br />

i don't know if i understood you right, my vievtopic.tpl :

You are missing </table> after <!-- END switch_my_quick_reply -->

[PaNtheris]

And that's it? everything else is allright?

[Arty]

All other code looks fine

[PaNtheris]

At last quick reply works !!!

But..something wrong in the code and i have two new problems, made two screenshots :

Something wrong with the table i think :

And another problem is, not so big, but some style problem on the top of the window :

http://www.prisonbreak.lt/problem2.JPG

[Arty]

Looks like some table isn't closed, or columns count is incorrect in some of main tables.

[PaNtheris]

But where ? can't find anything, this problems occured after i changed the code which i pasted here.
