New posts icon being silly

by The Baron » Mon May 30, 2011 6:13 pm

Hiya,

Please could somebody help me out? At the very bottom of my forum, the icon for "New Posts" is not displaying in the box.

http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/phpBB3/

Similarly, if you enter a sub-forum, the three "New posts" icons are also missing.

http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/phpBB3/ ... m.php?f=68

I have replaced the images with my own, but I have kept the dimensions exact. The icons all work properly within the forum itself, it's just the key boxes at the bottom.

I've created a dummy account for test purposes. Username: bloodforthebaron Password: tester

Thanks for looking!

Hi there,

I'm confused what anyone would need a test account for :lol:

As far as I can see the image is in the correct place and named correctly but ...
It looks to me like you have been messing with this code:

Code: Select all

<div style="text-align:center;margin:30px;">
<table class="legend">
<tr>
   <td width="20" align="center"></td>
   <td><span class="gensmall">New posts</span></td>
   <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
   <td width="20" align="center"><img src="./styles/black_pearl/imageset/forum_read.png" width="31" height="31" alt="No unread posts" title="No unread posts" /></td>
   <td><span class="gensmall">No new posts</span></td>
   <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
   <td width="20" align="center"><img src="./styles/black_pearl/imageset/forum_read_locked.png" width="31" height="31" alt="No unread posts [ Locked ]" title="No unread posts [ Locked ]" /></td>
   <td><span class="gensmall">Forum locked</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>


as you can see the first image code is completely missing :o

Because unless you log in none of the posts are categorised by new or not.

Yes, I noticed that code in the overall forum page source, but I have no idea which actual phpBB HTML page contains that code, and believe me I've spent ages looking. Please let me know if you know.

I've definitely not modified it.

As in phpBB3/styles/black_pearl/template/index_body.html? I've been there, all there is is:

<div style="text-align:center;margin:30px;">
<table class="legend">
<tr>
<td width="20" align="center">{FORUM_NEW_IMG}</td>
<td><span class="gensmall">{L_NEW_POSTS}</span></td>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td width="20" align="center">{FORUM_IMG}</td>
<td><span class="gensmall">{L_NO_NEW_POSTS}</span></td>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td width="20" align="center">{FORUM_LOCKED_IMG}</td>
<td><span class="gensmall">{L_FORUM_LOCKED}</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>


Nothing I can play with there, sadly.

I assume if I had updated phpbb and forgotten to update the style I'd be having no end of other problems. Thanks for trying though, any more thoughts?

replace

Code: Select all

FORUM_NEW_IMG

with

Code: Select all

FORUM_UNREAD_IMG


and I would start checking the style updates if I were you ;)

That worked! Thank you!

I assume it's a similar job for the sub-menu legends New Posts , New Posts [ Popular ] and New posts [ Locked ] ? please could you help there too?

actually you just need to update Baron ... this is a typical error that goes hand in hand with not updating, my guess is you are at phpbb 3.08 and your style may be 1.62 or even lower than that (it has to be black pearl 1.64!)

and in case you ask ...yes it causes more then only this bug if you don't update (or partly update)

Well, I found it: viewforum_body.html

I've done so much adapting of the skin to fit my site theme, an update may be a nightmare. I'll try it but backup my existing one first!

Sure ... always back it up
Tip for you updating:
