Forum Modification Ideas
« on: March 30, 2012, 11:16:26 am »
Alright now. Johto's done so it's time to work on the next biggest thing. Our forum and how it looks to the public. We don't need to hire a web designer, we just need to specify what we want, and in a way that a php-programmer can understand.
If we want something changed, we would have to mention:
What we want changed,
where it is,
what we want it changed to,
and possibly how it would change behavior.

Good example:

"I'd like the Post Button to be red and blue to match the first generation game's color scheme."
*Screenshots are your friend*


I'd like the background to be red, and the word to be blue.
(Don't need to define a specific "#FBF5E6" code, but if you want to be that detailed, feel free.)


BAD Example:

Could you maek the forums more pokemony?
-end bad example.



We'll see what comes of this, how many changes you all want, and how possible they are. I leave the show to those with more knowledge, since I'm just a middleman here.

1ce covered things pretty well here. I can pretty much add/change/remove anything to do with the forum, as I know the software very well-- All you have to do is ask :)

Concerning locations: To help me out in that regard, post a link to the page you want to see the change on. Different pages are covered by different files, and I need to know which I need to edit ;)

Also, one more thing... Changes may take a bit to come around, because I have a full-time job and often don't have a lot of time between work and sleep and other things to constantly hang out editing forums :haha: so PLEASE don't rush me, I will let you know a general time-frame in which to expect the changes to take effect :)

Okay, Customisable colors for the background etc would be nice, like:
profile settings->background color-> for example: green


A like, or +1 button (like the minecraft forums)

I want a million dollars. Does it mean I'm gonna get it free? Hell no. We've told you what I can do - you want to go changing forum softwares, you're on your own.

Now, if you want to be a little more SPECIFIC as to what you're looking for, I'm listening.

:roll:

Archie -- I'm looking for a good way to implement the border, will let you know how it goes :)

Vitto -- Colors shouldn't be too difficult... I've already done something similar to that on my forum. Now, for the +1/Like button, I've been researching that one for some time and it looks like I might have to code my own modification.. Will let you know... Or it'll just appear, whichever :haha:

It's not perfect (CSS can't do the rounded border corners), but I got the post buttons. You may have to force-refresh so your browser will download the updated css file.

 Did you also want this border on the topic buttons (Reply, Notify, Mark.....etc)?

I think thats the problem ^ unlike you rigby, we're trying to be serious. Considering you're the one who bugged the fucking shit out of me to work on a theme, I'm surprised you're the immature one in all this. I expected better.

And you know me Rigby, I can't take a joke. Apparently neither can my older brother. Time to get with the program.

Its really good but could you possibly remove the background in some buttons.
Eg. The 'Reply' button has a blue background and so do the 'Post' and 'Preview' It kind of ruins the whole point of the border.
EDIT: Also id love it if you could implement this font.
<------
Again, I would really appreciate it :P

I would like the option to use EST instead of your local time.
