SMF Theme Support

Hello everyone,
I recently got a theme developed by BordeGlobal Impact Designs, which is pretty much exactly how I want it. But, I am having some issues. The big, main one is the menu. Kongonia

As you can see, there are many items on the menu, and many more after a user is registered. I want to be able to manually code the items and sub-items on the menu, within the "index.template.php" file with ease, however as it is at the moment, is not an easy way to go about it, and I can't figure it out for the life of me.

I want to be able to remove some of the main-menu items, add new ones, and give them separate sub-menu items to use, each myself. I do not want the default SMF main menu items to be there, and I want to use the sub-menus separately myself.

Besides that, there are some more minor things that I would like done.

1. Some of the Admin Links are white, with a white background. This means you can't see them properly.
2. The users avatar placed in the user area at the top-right.
3. The search bar placed on the menu bar, floated to the right.
4. Sub-menu links to have the same background as they do on kongregate.

I can do this now, is your FTP info the same? Please confirm.

I can look at that if the Admin login info for me is the same.

I do not see how this is possible. If you are using a large screen resolution then it will give you the appearance as though there is room, but in reality there is not.

When you add the links make sure to add them in this way:

Then in style.css you make a css style code for how you want it to look.

1. I haven't changed the details, can you take a look at it please?

2. Okay, go ahead with that!

3. Take out the "Search Icon" and make the search box smaller, about half as many characters long. Plus, the items will be removed from the menu, so there will be room, in reality, unless you mean vertical room.

4. Okay, but I'm not too good with making it look that good, I've tried but failed in the past, could you do it for me quickly please?

Avatar was added to the top.

I added a reference to the style css so that it changes on hover. Refresh cache to view. You can change that to suit your needs.

Sorry, but not sure really what you want to do with Search box, you have links running from one end of the screen to the next. I will have to leave that to your skills. Ascetically it is in the best place right now.

I checked through Admin, all text and links appear normal. You may need to refresh. Also please change or delete that Admin account - it is never a good idea to have two Admin accounts. Thanks.

Okay, forget the search box, I may be able to do that. But still, could you tell me how to edit the main menu links please?

As for Admin links, go to "Packages" in the Admin Panel and you will see that all of the links such as "Download Packages", "Browse Packages", etc. Are all in white, on a white background.

For the Admin menu check my attachment below, looks good to me.

For menu, in index.template you need to look for this code:

Let's take the second one. What that is saying is, if the $act or action of the user is forum or in other words they are looking at the forum then $thisshow or show sc1.

Then you will go to sc1 HTML code and place what you want to see in the menu.

OK I think this takes care of your needs. If you study the code and style file you will see it is very simple and just takes some practice to get it down. If you want to be a web developer as you put in your Intro Thread then it is important to understand how code functions.

And as for the menu, I just added one for an example called "Bong", but it didn't turn up. Also, how would I remove items as well?

By the way - I hate not being able to post links. I appreciate this stops SPAM, but for the serious members - it's just annoying.

I've provided what you need to make it work, like I said - study the code and look over what you are doing wrong. To change how things show up just edit your style.css. I think I've spent enough time at your site already.

As per the Rules of this Community there should never be a reason to post links here. Good luck!
