[RMcGirr83]

Thank you MOD Validation Team!

I really need to work on a new icon for prosilver. If any graphic god-like soul would like to present one, it would be appreciated cuz my graphic skillz are not up to par.

[evilepsilon]

Well, at least in my opinion it doesn't have to be more complicated than this:

icon_print_all.png

If you have something specific in mind tell me and I'll try to make it.

Can you please add what lines need to be changed in order to make this (or any other graphic for that matter) replace the current icon? thanks.

[RMcGirr83]

I have uploaded a new file into the MODDB just awaiting validation, anyway maybe this will help.

Just rename this part

Code: Select all

		<open src="styles/prosilver/theme/colours.css">
    		<edit>
                <find><![CDATA[a.print {
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_print.gif");
}]]></find>
				<action type="after-add"><![CDATA[a.printall {
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_printall.gif");
}]]></action>
            </edit>
		</open>

to be this for your graphic

Code: Select all

		<open src="styles/prosilver/theme/colours.css">
    		<edit>
                <find><![CDATA[a.print {
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_print.gif");
}]]></find>
				<action type="after-add"><![CDATA[a.printall {
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_print_all.png");
}]]></action>
            </edit>
		</open>

then copy your image into

Code: Select all

root/styles/prosilver/theme/images/icon_print_all.png

..and yeah, it doesn't have to be anymore complicated than that graphic, but what's easy for you may not be easy for me. I never learned photoshop or GIMP and have no desire to at this point in time.

Thanks for the graphic though.

I think I was misunderstood - the word "simple" was to state that I don't want to make something bombastic but rather a slight change to the original picture. I had no intention in mocking you or your graphic skills.
You helped us all with this wonderful mod, the least I could do is help in the ways I can.

Thanks for the mod, I waited long time for something like that

I have one question though - I didn't understand what I have to edit, can you be more specific for php/xml/etc retard like myself?

[RMcGirr83]

No problem, my graphic skillz just are weak

Try this

Code: Select all

open

styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html

find

L_PRINT_TOPIC}</a></li>

inline_find
</li>

inline after-add

<li class="rightside"><a href="{U_PRINT_ALL_POSTS}" title="{L_PRINT_ALL_POSTS}" accesskey="p" class="printall">{L_PRINT_ALL_POSTS}</a></li>

open

styles/prosilver/theme/buttons.css

find

a.print, a.sendemail, a.fontsize

inline-find

a.fontsize

inline after-add

, a.printall

find

a.print

inline-find

a.print

inline after-add

, a.printall

open

styles/prosilver/theme/colours.css

find

a.print {
       background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_print.gif");
    }

after-add

a.printall {
       background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/icon_print_all.png");
    }
    
    
open

styles/prosilver/theme/bidi.css

find

.rtl a.print, .rtl a.sendemail, .rtl a.fontsize

inline-find

a.fontsize

inline after-add

, .rtl a.printall

Refresh the prosilver style to get the new icon to show and purge the cache after installing the mod to regenerate the template files

upload the graphic into styles/prosilver/images/*.* refresh the template in the ACP and you should be set.

bookmarked. just got around to seeing this one...

[MKULTRA]

I doubled checked and am fairly certain I installed this correctly, now when I go into print view for both this MOD and the default single page method, the view I see is the HTML dumped out onto the page. Am I the only one that has had this issue?

i think this is intended (i havent tested)...

A_O_C FTW!!

[MKULTRA]

Oh really, that sort of defeats the purpose of printing a thread. Saving it into a file as an additional option is one thing, but it should still permit outright black and white printing of a simple format page, as is the default. This is including everything, even the header information. I think this MOD needs to be updated, in its current state it is not very practical.
