Redstar theme doesn't seem to work ?

I'm quite new to Xoops, but i've got the main things up an running. However I would like to use the Redstar theme that I found on this site, but whatever I try, it doesn't seem to work properly, at least my site doesn't look at all like the picture.
I've uploaded the Redstar folder to the themes folder, and it is selectable from the admin menu.
To try if it was my way of working I also uploaded the Sabre theme and this works straight awy without problem. However the contents of the folders seem to be very different between the Redstar and Sabre themes. Any help would be appreceated :) Thx !

It seems that the reference to the css of the theme is missing. Add the following to the theme:



This should fix your problem with that theme.

Btw, I recognize your nick from somewhere. Did ya accidently had a club on clubs.nl?

Wow thx for the very quick reply :) But a little question, I assume that I need to add that codeline to the theme.php file, but where exactly should I put it ?

And, no I didn't have anything on club.nl, just a big fan of the band Level 42 ;)

You need to put the code directly below the title tags in theme.html...

Quote:
<{$xoops_sitename}> - <{$xoops_pagetitle}>


Also, make sure you delete everything inside the templates_c folder (except index.html) after you make any changes to the theme.html file, else your changes wont appear to work.

Hope this helps.

Thanks JMoris but uhmmmm...there seems to be no theme.html file at all with this theme package ??

Maybe you can have a look at it:
Redstar theme

I'm fairly new to this all, but the other theme packages just look different in file and folder structure. Other themes I can install and use without problem at all.

Really hope you (or someone else) can help because I really like the look of the Redstar theme and it fits very good to our club colors :)

Thx

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I'm a bit tied up at the moment. I'll look at the theme over the weekend and see if I can figure out a solution for you.

Am I correct in assuming that you are running XOOPS 2? And did you know the Redstar theme is for XOOPS 1?

Xoops 1 and XOOPS 2 theme are not coded the same and are not cross compatible. In other words, you cannot use a XOOPS 1 theme with a XOOPS 2 Site.

Basically, there are four options:
Switch to XOOPS 1 so you can use the Redstar theme.
Find a different theme.
Contact the quthor of the Redstar theme and see if they've coded a XOOPS 2 compatible version or recode the theme to be compatible with XOOPS 2 yourself.
See if someone would want to recode the theme for you.

I don't have the time right now to make a XOOPS 2 compatible version of this theme, otherwise I would be happy to. Perhaps one of the other members here will have time to do it.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Ow man.....can't believe I overlooked this !!! You are completely right. How stupid of me....
