Default Page

I know there is a setting in Preferences to set a default Module when a visitor accesses a site but is there a way to set it to access a specific page?

For example, I use cjaycontent for embedding webpages into my site.

One of the pages I've created is a Basic Welcome page.

If I had the page in a menu option it would link like this:
http://www.nightshadestudios.net/home/modules/cjaycontent/index.php?id=5

Maybe there is a tweek or something?

List of Smarty Tags?

Is there a list of Smarty Tags posted somewhere?
I was looking for a Glossary, so to speak, for referrence.

Something like this maybe:

$xoops_theme - Give reference to current theme's directory regardless of theme directory name. (EG: <{include file="$xoops_theme/theme_blockright.html"}>

<{$xoops_imgurl}> - Gives reference to the theme's image directory.

I can't really describe these tags well but I was hoping to find one central place with the information.

Adding a search box..

I'm working on a new theme design more my site and I want to have a "Search" box in the design of the header.

For example, there will be a menubar across the screen and at the end of that menu bar I'd like a search box.

The other issue is that I'm designing two versions of the site's header. A flash header and a static html header.

Any ideas on the code I'd need to do this?

Canvas size?

I was wondering what sizes people are designing websites in Photoshop/Gimp before converting them to the actual theme?

For example, are you designing the graphics in a 1024x768 canvas or larger? Are you going smaller?

I've been starting out at 1024x768 but I'm curious as to what others are doing.

Re: Help with an animated main menu..

What type of animation?

I suppose one could create create a flash menu, display it in a block then hide the main menu.

Unless of course you want the animation at the top such as in the header, then you won't even need to create a new block.

So just let us know what type of animation you're talking about.

How does one submit a theme to share with the world?

I've clicked on the links under Themes Library but it says I'm not allowed to submit.

Thanks. That's part of the reason I do these things...I love to figure out the puzzles of it. I LOVE to figure out "why" something, such as a theme, isn't working properly.

Don't get me wrong...I do get flustered and REALLY aggitated if somehting that "should" work doesn't. I also laugh my ass off when I find problems such as a , or a " out of place.

As for the theme itself:

I'm cleaning out some of the "game specific" images to release this theme to XOOPS now.

BTW, is there a smarty tag to navigate to the theme specific directory?

For example:

In the theme.html there are the lines that call up the includes to show the themeblocks...

<{include file="nssclan/theme_blockleft.html"}>

is there a tag that will do remove the (in this case) nssclan part and navigate to the them_blocks?

<{include file="$xoops_themedirectory}>/theme_blockleft.html">

Something that (in case the user renames the theme directory) will allow the theme to always find the directory?

Ok, I fixed it!

Thanks for your input. Because of it, I was able to go down a different path of thinking.

Here is where my errors were.

I was creating a <div> to center the table and graphics then assigning a size to THAT <div>

I removed that class from Style.css and created a new one.

.mainT {width: Ypx; background-color: transparent;}

Y = The total width of the graphics within the main table

Then I went back to the
td#leftcolumn and set the width back to a % (25% in this case)

Then removed the width setting I put in the td#centercolumn section.

That fixed ALMOST everything.

The other issue was positioning the actual tables and to fix this, I went into my theme.html and added this to the main container table.

<table align="center" class="mainT" padding="0">

This final change centered the artwork now everthing seems to fit correctly.

There are times where the tables are simply too large for to contain the information without overlapping content but it's rare after these changes.

Thanks again for the showing me the path to enlightenment.

I think I may have found my prolem...

I have different widths for the two tables. I'm going to try making some corrections and if that doesn't work, I'll post the theme with the issues..

Thanks for your help so far. It's given me different angles to look at the code.
