Sample Theme Request September 17, 2015, 11:24:14 am 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

Re: Sample Theme Request Reply #3 – September 20, 2015, 05:17:59 pm So the first thing needed is a way to... "showcase" topics.Maybe a variant of the featured addon I started writing a while ago.

Re: Sample Theme Request Reply #7 – September 27, 2015, 03:38:40 am Something like that should do the trick:Code: [Select].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.
Re: Sample Theme Request Reply #8 – October 19, 2016, 02:27:05 pm i also want to make my forum look like nairaland's . my forum is nigconnect.com
Re: Sample Theme Request Reply #9 – October 20, 2016, 06:12:14 pm That layout and look takes me back...looks like one of the old SMF 1.1 themes. 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.
