Title: Show off your Elks!
Post by: emanuele on February 20, 2014, 05:18:07 am
I am curious and I would like to see how ElkArte is used, so... feel free to show what you are doing with it! ;D

I'll begin the show: http://www.elkarte.it/ As of now (Feb 20th, 2014) it's still empty, not sure what I'll do with it. Most likely I'll use to experiment with mods and stuff (do not waste time registering, I'm pretty sure sooner or later I'll break it :P).

Maybe use it as italian support forum for ElkArte?
Mine is used by a small group of gamers at 30+ of age. But I want to work a bit on the theme before I represent it here. ;)

mine is still using elkarte vanilla, nothing changed. this is just a small forum for my friends. but I'm interested to integrate it to 1 of my blog if there is a bridge or starting a new forum in a niche.

Nice theme & colors.. Only thing I'd change : the category colors (the text is dark on dark background, not good for my eyes). That's probably for guest only, because the category isn't hyperlinked then.
Some questions: Is it a full theme or a variant? How many hours did you spend on that theme? Was is harder / easier than building an SMF theme?

I was thinking about the changing the category text color to a light gray. It was much easier then making a theme for SMF, although I just basically did css edits. I would say all together is took me about 3 hours to put it all together and it's a full theme I can make a download of it for others to use.

Great job, the first theme not from ElkArte itself!

Great! :D
On the colors, one thing I usually use is this: http://gmazzocato.altervista.org/colorwheel/wheel.php there is also another site I mentioned, but don't remember where I put the link... :-[ Both are tools designed to test the accessibility, this one in particular is focused on helping in support WCGA accessibility guidelines for the different kinds of color blindness.

There it is, with a blue variation of ElkArte Light:
http://www.fairflixxt.de
Made some changes in index.css and changed the board icons. Just one little problem: When you move the mouse over a posters name in a topic, the color of the name changes. I can't find the place in the css file?!?
Oh, wow! Pressed STRG+B by mistake. ElkArte made a [b][/b] out of this! Great! :o :D

I've just launched a new website for a fairly large gaming and technology community based on Elkarte, but using a custom theme built from scratch on the Foundation framework.
https://www.xydre.com
We're in the stages of "Alpha testing" with a select handful of our members currently. Feel free to have a browse around though :)

Great works! :) Currently I have a very small forum (4k post and under 5 active members) :D. But I planned to launch another forum using ElkArte.

Playing with Elkarte here:
elkarte dot secretprojects dot co dot uk (decode - don't want search engine traffic :)
for a future migration of live site. I populated with a copy of live data to get a feel for it. 90% convinced to migrate so far.
SMF site is http://www.secretprojects.co.uk, 228516 Posts in 17832 Topics by 8500 Members, 19GB of attachments, about to hit 9 years old :)

The site is still very much under construction. There are add ons in place. I'm still working on styling. At some point a links section will be added, linking back to some SSI main pages. This should be fun!
I am a fan of David Bowie and about 1998 I own the domain davidbowie.de. Last year I converted my old forum (phpbb) for the german fans of David Bowie to Elkarte. https://www.davidbowie.de (german ;-) )
Cheers

Herzlich Willkommen im erlauchten, exklusiven Club der ElkArte-Benutzer. ;)
Welcome! I like his music too. I'm still living in the 80s when it comes to music. Well, mostly.

Bowie is awesome, but for me the '70s and his more recent albums are my favorites. :)
