theme modified based on exemplas of cos, water drop and hardwired

[GH]

On the different information very useful on this forum (topics and doc) , I worked hard to build my own theme based of existing themes,  but now I am on the end of what I can understand.

The main point and my issue from the beginning was to build a  horizontal menu line of sub menu. Finally,  I realized it following the exemple in hardwired, in this way:

Code Select Expand


<td><img src="themes/Photo-GH/images/orange_carret.gif" width="8" height="8" border="0" alt="" /></td>
  <td><img name="spacer" src="images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" alt="" /></td>
  <td style="background"><a href="./thumbnails.php?album=28" title="Expositions">Expositions</a>


but really, when I wrote <td style="background"> instead of <td style="background: url(themes/hardwired/images/buttoncenter.gif);"> I have no idea what it means and where it refers to.


I learned that the menu build in the theme water drop is basically the standard of coppermine and the way of doing it otherwise is either the sample.php (the menu is a bit to complicated for me to understand), but I took the way it is done in Hardwired to build my version.

1. On my side was installed yesterday the themes: classic, samle and my theme Photo-GH, but not as a theme to choice.
In this moment, after the first clic on album list or other, the theme changed automatically to classic.

2. When I changed it to make the theme choice possible, this behavior was gone, but today, I notice, that I could no more login. (Sometimes I had it before when working on my theme and could solve it installing the original cos theme beside the others. Why? No idea.

3. Now I have uploaded the theme hardwired and I can login !!

It would be fine if there were somebody who could explaine it to me and what to do to avoid this.
I join the theme Photo-GH here, many thanks.

The first thing I see if that you're pointing to the wrong style.css file in the header of your template.html file. What I'm seeing when I download your theme is not very pretty. You will need to replace the style sheet in the zip file you attached.

Code Select Expand

<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/cos/style.css" type="text/css" />

should be:

Code Select Expand

<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/Photo-GH/style.css" type="text/css" />

oh, I'm a greenhorn, so I see the trouble I'll have to mix up content of different style.css. May be I need to come soon back with the next question, thank you.

Can you help me? I have no more the possibility to login, any template, even classic.

I've looked through many of your postings and at your gallery and I can't tell what it is you want to do. There are so many themes available in the demo gallery that you can use to get your gallery going. Once you have it up and running then you can start to make changes. You should also think about posting for services in the freelance forum. We're willing to help but you have to give us an idea of what you want your gallery to look like.

Why not, that's a good idea, let me make to you and the forum the compliment that - if I compared it with guppy forum, drupal forum (both I tried only a little bit)  or in the past time with forum of 4images - there is no comparison between your forum and others I knew. Thank You all very much.
