Issues with themes and Navbars

[Slippin3]

Hi Everyone,

I am sure this could be something easy. So I hope someone can walk me through it. My forums are at www.teamslipstream.com/forums (No activity as I will be importing again... its a testbed for now). My CMPS is at www.teamslipstream.com/cpms_index.php.

Here is what is wrong:

1. Most Templates do not display properly. I have looked at how to update the images (From the install Menu of CPMS) with no luck.
2. Some Templates have working NavBars and some do not. So I know the settings are fine :S
3. How can I add "Forums" to the Navbar and link to it from the CPMS page?

Thanks For all of your help!
John

Thanks,

Graphics: Yes, I have looked into this. Which I mentioned. I have also looked manually and can see it there. In the 2 themes not dispaying, you can see hidden text as a link, but no image. Not sure why.... works on the forums.

Navbar: This must set correctly. Otherwise the other themes would not be operational. All themes work from the FORUMS just not the CPMS

Forumss Link: Thank You, Will give this a go a bit later!

Thanks

It appears that any templates that are using modified Headers/Footers do not work? Just thinking out loud

Thanks

That would depend on how the style was coded. If the style is not using full links to those image folders, then you would need to edit the template/style and change those paths.

Brian,

As mentioned above, I have gone in and done this as per the sticky. If you could look into this, please PM me and I would be more than happy to provide a Username/Pass.

Thanks

For the links:
Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Default Settings - Go there and copy the file names listed in your 'Navbar Replacements' option over to your 'Header Replacements' option.

For your styles, some of them (FH_Faddah_Fluid for example) are not using full paths to the images, so you would need to edit the templates for those and add the full URL (or use the vB $stylevar variables). For the others that are missing gradients and such, you would need to edit the style options for those and add the full URL for any background images and such in the CSS.

So I need to edit to the full paths in the VBa menu right? When you style options I am confused, and I guess I can search the CSS for images, and make the paths full for images. I dont understand why others use these with no issue. :(

It all depends on the style. A correctly coded style will use the vB $stylevar variable in front of it's image paths so you won't have problems like that.

One thing you might want to try... vBa CMPS 2.2.1 was just released today, and the "Update Image Paths" section for the install file in the new version is able to change a few more of the paths.
