Quite a few years ago I had the 'News' theme on my SMF2.0 site but with the ever changing SMF code it became unusable.
So after the CleanTek fixes if you want a new project then you could try that...if you're not to busy that is (https://www.quizland.co.uk/Smileys/dave/whistle.gif)
I've attached the themes zip file to this post

I don't remember that one. Is it from the Crip Zone?

I really don't know. It's possible it's still available at SMF, but when I went to look the site was down, now I'm in bed and I can't be bothered ;D
I forgot that my brothers site is still on 2.0.19 so I've installed the News theme there. Have a look here if you want ;)

Be back soon!
This website is under maintenance.
Check back tomorrow!
Hmmm...must be a host thing
I've decided to work on this now. I've installed the original version on a 2.0 forum here https://www.davejohnson.co.uk/SMF2.0/index.php.
I'm converting it on the test site and I've set it to the default theme. Been working on it for a few hours and nearly got the header correct, the time and smf logo are wrong and the content section is just totally wrong.
Oh well there's always tomorrow ;D
Good luck with it. I may release Cleanwhite as is...after checking it a bit more.
EDIT: I'd ask the Akyhne, if he's still at SMF.org, if it's OK to do something with the theme first or you'd might be wasting your time?
Yes I'll ask, but my main intention is for me to use it not to publish it
Yeah, but still some theme owners will have various terms for using their themes. Best to check it out first. Some will not give support if you modify them or modify them a certain way. :(
I contacted him and got this reply
QuoteHI there.
I'm sorry, but I can't help you out for several reasons.
First of all, SMF 2.1 is based on HTML 5, which I haven't played with. I simply don't know the language.
Second, I can't help you out because of chronic migranes I'm suffering from.
You COULD just adapt the. HTML 4 files from SMF 2, but it would be a huge job, and almost impossible to keep updated with new SMF releases.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
Regards.
So it looks like I'm on my own lol
hmmm, I took a brief look at that theme and think it may be doable. :)
you just need to figure out how to convert the images to css...much like I do for the CZ theme from the old versions. Most of them are made from images and I've converted them into css gradients. The ones I couldn't convert I just used the images from the old version. ;)

Since then he hasn't renewed the hosting with that host. At present he cant afford to renew with anyone. However I have it installed on my test2.0 site here https://www.davejohnson.co.uk/SMF2.0/
I've also attached it to this post
The old Ambassador is installed there too.
Again I've made you Admin so feel free to mess about . See the PM for deatails

The login works. :)
Do you want the News theme for 2.0 or 2.1?
Quote from: Bocool on Mar 18, 2023, 09:51 AMThe login works. :)
So I saw...I have had to make changes to the old files already, so I have uploaded the latest SMF2.0 version. The attachment in the previous post will be updated

I would like it to work on 2.1.3
Thought so... Gotta finish up Ambassador then I'll help work on that. Btw, I think that Ambassador's index.css, etc are for 2.1.2 and not 2.1.3 which has some of the code changed...

So how do you update it, just perform the 2.1.3 update from SMF? Or do you mean the text in the files is 2.1.2?
The code in it is 2.1.2 and not 2.1.3. Someone told me they installed it on smf 2.1.3 and it worked fine. So I did it myself to see and am just remembering that it is prolly missing code and some of the code has changed in 2.1.3.

Ahh I see what you mean
And this is also prolly why I'm having problems editing the jquery file and it won't show right away. I'm editing old files and they may have changed the main jquery files that go with it.
The index.css changes between 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 are as per the images attached
The file to the left is 2.1.3
Do we have to do all the css files and templates etc?
[attachment deleted by admin]
Yes, we only need to change/update the edited files. There's not much changes to the template files I've added but the real work usually lies in the css/jquery files. It shouldn't be too hard tho...
It looks like you're using Notepad++ like I do which makes it easier. :)
I think the easiest way would be to create a new theme and copy what we need to it. We can keep this one active as a reference guide.
Unless you have a better idea...
I'm getting mixed up now. I thought you were talking about Ambassador...I'm taking a break for a while as I've been sat at my PC since 09.00 this morning and now it's 15.00 here and my shoulder is giving me some gyp, that's what happens when you get old ;D .
I'm happy to do the 2.1.2 to 2.1.3 updates for css files but it wont be until tomorrow now
I am talking about Ambassador. LOL Funny, I've done something to my shoulder last night crawling under the table for something. LOL It's feeling a bit better today but still a little sore.
Well, I'll be working on the files and may bake some bread, if I get around to it.
I'm still reading your posts on my tablet, but can't do file edits easily so I wont try.
I made some really cheesy scones yesterday, just warmed a couple up with plenty of butter on them...yummy ;D
I love scones! Just saw a recipe for hummingbird scones that looked very good! I've been cooking and baking since I was 5 years old. ;)
If you like to cook and bake my friend Ken has a forum and he and I post recipes there regularly. And yes, I do make a lot of them. LOL Les posts there once in a awhile too.
