Themes from DaMysterious

[DaMysterious]

While playing around with Morpheus I did found a little bug this night that was nested in Hestia and I had to update the archive for public use. Reason, I simply forgot to include '{CAT_DESC}' at the right place in theme.php, so if you use the outdated Hestia you wil not see any catdescription if you have one.

Would you please update the demo and download to GauGau.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

DaMysterious, you rock! SMF-users will love this theme, matching the SMF default look.
May I suggest a little tweak although? The menu items are being displayed with a serif-font - the "original" comes with sans-serif afaik (also increases readability for smaller fonts). Could you consider changing that?
Another thing: SMF is not being released under GNU GPL, you should review their license and at least give them credit in your readme file, better still: talk this over with the SMF staff... You can't release it under your own copyright terms if the work is based on another one's license that doesn't allow this.

The package is reworked to the readme and I wil drop the staff a message about that this afternoon. The tweak comes later this day (menu items = buttons GauGau?).

[Joachim Müller]

menu items = buttons GauGau?

Yes

Great looking theme DaMysterious.

However I would like to strongly suggest that you also now try to make effort to make your themes valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional at least for the index.php thumbnail.php and displayimage.php

You might want to checkout the latest version of these these files if you want to check validation....

Ready to rumble ! Catch it via the link some messages above. Don't panik, it's totally different to the first one.

I've bookmarked the W3C page and wil take a look in to it.

I noticed you added the file "LewisMedia.txt" to your package - they have a paragraph in it that says

d. Any Distribution of this Package, whether as a Modified Package or not, requires express written consent from Lewis Media.

Do you have written permission from SMF to allow distribution of the theme in the download section of Coppermine. Please contact the SMF team and cc me in - I'll remove the download in the meantime.

I did send a copy from Lewis e-mail to you. I'm in contact with Lewis Media since yesterday as you could read.

[Joachim Müller]

OK, thanks - I got the mail. You won't need to update me on this conversation, just post if you got an OK from the SMF staff here (I don't need to see written proof), so I can add the SMF theme to the download section.

Nice! Meanwhile my Smf and Coppermine are working like a charm together . For this config I had to place al tables in one database and chaning the sourcepath in Settings.php from Smf to 'C:/Inetpub/smf' for my WonderDoze .

[Joachim Müller]

This is really looking very cool, nice work. Are you working on Tarique's proposal to make the output xhtml-standards compliant? Clicking the W3C logo at the bottom of your coppermine page of course shows validation errors (because coppermine itself is not compliant), so I suggest removing the W3C logo temporarily (unless compliance is done). But don't get me wrong: I'm really looking forward to have this great theme "officially" approved by the smf team, so we can "officially" use it.

I taked a look into the W3C site indeed and wil try to make one theme W3C compilant as test the next weeks. I have to read and learn more abaut that.

Removed!

Me to! There is no answer back til now. The SMF-theme is completely ready after some cosmetical and technical changes. Half of this week I wil send a new e-mail to Lewis Media if no answer is received.

The best way to do this is to Validate the page - see the first error, read the explaination of that particular error and fix it - repeat till all the errors are gone (thats what I did )
