ElkArte Community

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

So the first thing needed is a way to... "showcase" topics.
Maybe a variant of the featured (http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=2261.0) addon I started writing a while ago.

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)
