Themes: Omnetwork Theme #7 - Dynamic Flash header!

Posted by: hardyvojeOn 2006/7/28 7:25:58 6787 reads

Here is one, let's say: Advanced theme by Omnetwork.net.

This is rounded-corner stretchable theme with dynamic flash header. When I say dynamic I'm pointing to headline feature:

Flash movie integrated in theme's header connects to site's database and take information from stories table (news) and display news titles in CNN headlines manner. When visitor clicks to title, it will open page with coresponding article.

Using text editor you can ajdust: (newsfeeder.php file)
- Delay in seconds for one title (default: 4)
- Number of titles (default: 5)
- Should it open article in new windows or in self (default: _blank)
...

You can use this theme to display any table and any cell. Changing parametars you can connect to Downloads, MyAlbum, Forum posts... whatever, since you can adjust table name and cell name.

After uploading in most cases theme will work properly without changing anything since path to Xoops's mainfile.php is relative.

You'll have to register to download. Registrated users have access to 250+ free photos and downloads available athttp://www.omnetwork.net

At this moment I cannot provide live preview, but if someone install this theme to it's site, post comment with link.

Enjoy!

It's a very creative theme, like the others you've shared with the community. I am experiencing a couple of problems, though.

The first problem has to do with folder and file structure. I've downloaded a few of the themes and had the same problem with each.

The files are all in a single folder with no subfolders, but the theme.html files make reference to non-existent image and block folders. So what users have to do is create their own subfolders called "images" and "blocks," and then move the appropriate files into them for the themes to display correctly.

I can't get the newsfeed to display headlines, no matter what settings I use. All I see is "Testing." Maybe a little more documentation about precisely what information needs to be input would help a little.

Beyond that, you've made some highly-attractive themes. Thanks for sharing them.

Yes, I noticed something strange with Windowns Zipping engine it seems that some other ZIP utilities like Total Commander doesn't see folder structure!

(I zipped this theme from Windows)

Which utility you used for unziping?

IF someone extracted ZIP properly (with folders) let us know here - which utility used to unzip!

Thanks for feedback!

There is no directory structure when viewing the zip. Unzipped with Winrar.

The problem is in your zipping method.

Yep!
Thanks!

I figured out, Total Commander somehow doesn't include folder structure.

now, fixed version is uploaded!
Thanks for feedback!

I've tested this theme on 2 independent XOOPS sites (2.2) and I hadn't to change anything, just uploaded into om7 folder and selected theme from administration menu.

newsfeed worked also.

Can you plase give me enviroment information on which you tried theme? (xoops version, php, mysql)

check:
newsfeeder.php file,
i tried to make it self documented,
maybe you can change something there and adjust table and cell names in database, if you're using some different module for articles/news.

Re-downloading the theme, deleting the old one and uploading the new files you created took care of that problem, but a new one has come up in the theme.html file.

The way some of the image source codes are currently written, whenever I go to any module other than the homepage, no header of footer images appear, just a placeholder with a red X

For example, the header and footer images on the homepage, the image urls point to

mysite.com/themes/om7/images/filename

However, when I go to a module, the image urls become

mysite.com/modules/modulename/themes/om7/.... and nothing is displayed but an image placeholder.

I think what needs to be done is change all instances of


img src="themes/om7/images/filename

to


img src="<{$xoops_url}>/themes/om7/images/

or something like that.

Almost correct, gestroud

It should be


<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/imagename

I tried it in xoops2.0.14 (fresh installation) and I got blank page.

Has anyone have it working?

Inside the zip file you can find 2 folders, om7 and res. I chose om7

Dear Friends,
thanks for image url tip,
i had to solve problem using this not-so portable paths.

plusangel, you should upload om7, yes.
but make sure that you uploaded all files....
report any future problem.

I held developing of #8, #9, #10 themes in order to gather all errors and mistakes on earlier themes and to make new themes 100% workable (as Microsoft says: plug-and-playable) so your feedback is very important to me!

Thanks!
