Elkarte Still Remains the No 1 forum CMS.
You guys rock.
Please i want to develop a theme based on elkarte to look exactly like the forum on www.nairaland.com with all the features.
I attached a snapshot of what nairaland looks like.
Please can this be done?
Thanks
If I understand it right, the part at the top (general - politics - etc) is the list of boards, right?
And each row looks like a category.
Then below there is a bunch of recent... topics?
Almost true
@emanuele Yes, The top is the list of boards
Yes, Each Row is actually a category of related boards,
But Below is not a bunch of recent topics...rather they are a bunch featured topics....topics that Moderators feel are more important discussion issues.
:lol
Exactly. Though simple portal has this feature already... ::)
@emanuele anuel
Does it?
Well, even though I write code for it, I've used SP only seldom... :-[
It does
@emanuele , as can be seen from this screenshot.
It there is a way it could be further extended to look just like www.nairaland.com, it would be perfect.
Something like that should do the trick:
.action_home #sp_center .sp_block_section .sp_article_icon,
.action_home #sp_center .sp_block_section .sp_article_content {display: none;}
.action_home #sp_center .sp_block_section .category_header {
background: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 1em;
}
.action_home #sp_center .sp_block_section {
text-align: center;
}
.action_home #sp_center .sp_block_section .category_header:before {
content: "»";
}
.action_home #sp_center .sp_block_section .category_header:after {
content: "«";
}
Of course, edit the template would likely be better, but I don't have the code handy.
i also want to make my forum look like nairaland's . my forum is
nigconnect.com (http://nigconnect.com)
That layout and look takes me back...looks like one of the old SMF 1.1 themes. :D
I am guessing, to look like that, the Elkarte theme really have to simplified quite a lot. Not sure a few tweaks would do the trick..but everything is relative of course.
