subMerged-theme for CPG and phpBB

[Joachim Müller]

redhair has created a theme named "subMerged" that is available both for coppermine as well as for phpBB, so it should be ideal for users who have those two apps bridge to accomplish the same look and feel for your entire site. Of course, the subMerged theme can be used as coppermine-only theme as well.

Here is redhair's original posting (which went as a reply to another thread in error):

Here's mine: http://redhair.is.dreaming.org/media/
I'm very very VERY happy with it

I have also released the theme for it a few hours ago.
It matches subMerged themed phpbb forums.
Get it here

This is cool! I really like the bottom of the theme in particular.

I like this one as well, nice job !

I also like the icon "Powered by Coppermine" at the bottom.  I think it warrants inclusion in future versions 

[redhair]

Thanks a lot .. all of you 

But most of all, thanks to all the developers for creating CPG in the first place, because me like it a lot!
It's exactly the thing I need to post my pictures, and be able to organise them in a -no hassle- kinda way.

To be able to theme it in my subMerged style was also a great joy, and easily done, since I had to create and edit only a few files, compared to a phpBB theme/ template, which is a little more than a 100 template files.

Have a great time with this theme, and let me/ us know if there are any bugs swimming around in it.

ps: I'm working on a phpnuke port

ps: I'm working on a phpnuke port

You're of course allowed to do this (in legal terms), but please be adviced that the coppermine dev team is not fond of ports at all. We went through great pains with the nuke community some time ago, as there used to be nuke ports before, and after the developers of the ports had dropped support, we were flooded by nuke users seeking support from us (which we couldn't give because we don't know *nuke), with a lot of morons not accepting "no" as an answer.
If you were going to create a bridge file for phpnuke instead of trying to port it, we'd really appreciate this. We believe in bridging (logic) and skinning (visual integration) instead of porting. For details, please review some of the sticky threads on the deprecated nuke support board.

[redhair]

Oops, sorry, I think I didn't make myself clear!
I'm working on a nuke port in the subMerged theme/ template kind of sense.

I had a lot of requests from nuke users that seen my phpBB template and wanted to have the same template for their nuke. Now that I made this theme for CPG, I instantly received a few of those same questions again.

I'm not at all fond of phpNuke actually.. but to stop the nagging I decided to give the nuke theme a go, and get it all over with 

Next up would be a subMerged theme for phpwebsite..

Ah OK, thanks for the clarification.

This is really nice, but I've been unable to connect to the server to download it. Any other source available for that?

Sorry Gau Gau - I missed that (I have cataracts - font color did not stand out for me)

I notice what may be a "bug" in this theme, if redhair can help with this.

Notice in the attached screenshots, in the album description there is no space between album name and album description. Can I fix this myself easily or are other adjustments needed? I have put a yellow box around the areas I'm talking about for clarity, since I don't know if I'm explaining myself properly.

I would also like to change the gallery name and remove the "./" if that's possible. (Also yellow boxes)

[redhair]

I have seen this "bug" myself.
It's fixxed with ease, yet I didn't find time to fix yet.
I'll make some time now 

Open themes/subMerged/subMerged.css and find (line 424):

Code Select Expand

.catlink {
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 10px; color: #FFFFFF;
}

Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

.catlink {
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 10px; color: #FFFFFF;
        padding-right: 3px;
}

This will push the text that follows 3 pixels more to the right.


Now to get ridd of the . /

Open themes/subMerged/template.html and find . / (on line 12 & line 46)

Delete the . /

Problem solved!


As a bonus, and while we are working inside template.html, there is another small 'oops' I discovered earlier.

On line 85 there is a transparant gif that must be removed because it is pushing the bottom/left curved edge 1px to the right.

Find (line 85):

Code Select Expand

<img src="templates/subMerged/images/spacer.gif" border="0" height="18" width="1">

And delete it.

Bye, and have great day!

Thanks very much! I will give it a try - I'm not adept with CSS, unfortunately.

By the way - I visited your website. Extraordinary! Probably one of the best designed sites I've ever seen. Only wish I could code like that.

[redhair]

  Thank's a lot!

It wasn't designed like that in a day, ..more like a few years.
Just keep coding and designing and I'm sure you can do it like me as well.
Good luck!

Thanks, but that ain't gonna happen - not at my age:)
Is it possible to email you directly about your design?

[redhair]

You are never to old to learn!
But I do know it's harder to learn the older you get...
The brains ware down over the years I guess, or there is less space left to put new stuff in ;-)

Feel free to email me... or post in this forum so more people can take advantage of any subject you have about my design.

redhair has created v2 of his theme. This is the PM he sent me:

Hi GauGau

I decided to make an updated version of the subMerged theme.

It can be downloaded here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=179897&package_id=208682&release_id=562042

Perhaps you'd be so kind to post the update here?

Greetings, redhair

@redhair: you could have done the same thing I just did...

Attaching the file to this posting as well.

[redhair]

Sorry

I thought a new version would diminish the older version along with it's posts.


Anyway, good day and thanks!

[redhair]

The latest version of subMerged for Coppermine Photo Gallery can always be found here

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=179897&package_id=208682
