CZ Testing v2.1.4

Following on from my reply to your post Twitch. I agree with everything you said.

The main reason for that is that I have no real knowledge of coding/php. What I am fairly good as it investigating.

I use Brave browser and with that, as with Firefox and Edge, it has the right click on an item and 'inspect' and as it lists the css line numbers for the specific item I can then test alterations and their effects on my test site 'https://www.davejohnson.co.uk/testing/index.php'; (yes I know I have lots of test sites) and if it works with no errors then I can pass that info on to you guys.

I did try the conversion of the news theme but even though I managed to get the header near enough right the body was way off.

So as far as coding is concerned you guys are it.

The other thing worth noting as well is that for my part I could not put a theme on SMF as I would not be able to support it with my limited knowledge.

I recently changed the SMF default on Quizland and created a Spring theme...as my wife said that the default theme I was using was too bland, I can do that sort of thing but the actual coding and variables etc are lost on me.

Anyway thanks for reading and I'm here to help if I can

Well that's it, take care.

Gents we still have an issue with the 'inline_mod_check' on here.

To fix go to

.quickbuttons > li:last-child > a, .inline_mod_check:last-child {
border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0;
}
replace with

.quickbuttons > li:last-child > a, .inline_mod_check:last-child {
border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0;
border: 1px solid #ffde74;
}
once that's done the height  needs adjusting at

.quickbuttons > li {
float: left;
display: inline;
height: 23.5px;
border-radius: 1px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
padding: 0 1px 0 1px;
color: #222;
overflow: visible;
}
change the height from 23.5px to 24px.

I've checked this on Chrome based and Firefox and it works OK on both

Slowly, but surely .

Agreed! I've never liked IE even when it was a early beta...yes, I was a tester for it as well as Office when they were separate software and there wasn't an 'Office'. I perobably still have CD's in my attic from back then. LOL

They patterned themselves off of 'Word Perfect' and I 'think' eventually bought them out...if I remember correctly.

OK, I'm gone...starting fall asleep. LOL

SMF 2.0 was made/released at a point in time where CSS3 was not nearly as standardized as it is now. Internet Explorer still had a big hold on the market share aswell.(Albeit it was on the decline.)

So to my understanding a-lot of the theme choices back then were for cross browser compatibility reasons.

It wouldn't have been too big a deal if it didn't take 2.1 forever to be released haha.


Oh well, we are here now and have it alot easier compared to the days of old . You can do so much with just CSS and it is awesome.

If we do need to make template changes, I can do it .

Have a good night and good luck with the new position .

Me too. Been surfing the net for 35+ years.

I'll have you know... I have said these things before I was even on the internet :p .

Yes, and is why I got more into this. 2.0 was a bit hard for me to grasp cause of the html/css mixed. 2.1 was much easier cause most of the css was taken out of the html...like myBB.

myBB has it's pros and cons but the css is definitely a pro!

OK, time for bed. I may start going to bed earlier and getting up earlier...'IF' I get this new position at my job.

Also, just a note, alot of what Crip did for these SMF 2.0 themes can easily be done with CSS now. Thankfully haha.

Which means less images, faster load speeds, and still looks great .

Edit/Note: This tool - https://cssgradient.io/ is great for creating gradients with CSS. Combine it with a color picker plugin for firefox and converting most of the old themes images to CSS is very easy.
