Noob Questions :(

• Use Full Friendly URLs

If you enable this option, the links generated by the system will not include "index.php?". However, to enable this, mod_rewrite must be available and an appropriate .htaccess file must be in place.

What does this do?

 

[Paul B]

It removes the index.php from the URL.

e.g. /community/index.php instead of /community

If it was off the URL for this thread would be http://xenforo.com/community/index.php?threads/noob-question.8994/

With it on the URL is http://xenforo.com/community/threads/noob-question.8994/

thank you

ok another question, you see the black outline well box around the avatar? how do you edit that to be smaller or change to transparent?

 

[Paul B]

You can change that by editing this css which is in member_card.css :

.xenOverlay.memberCard .avatarCropper {
background-color: black;
border: 0px;
left: 40px;
padding: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
}

Change it in EXTRA.css though to avoid editing the template directly: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/add-all-css-edits-to-extra-css.8644/

Just wondering how you can center the logo and change logo link?

Just wondering how you can center the logo and change logo link?

Edit this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> header.css

Change this:

	#logo
	{
		display: block;
		float: left;
		line-height: @headerLogoHeight;
		height: @headerLogoHeight;
		vertical-align: middle;
	}

To this:

	#logo
	{
		display: block;
		text-align: center;
		line-height: @headerLogoHeight;
		height: @headerLogoHeight;
		vertical-align: middle;
	}

The link is:

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Basic Board Information -> Home Page URL

[Jake Bunce]

Here are the navbar background and link colors:

The moderator bar colors are in this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> moderator_bar.css

The background (@primaryDarker):

#moderatorBar
{
	background-color: @primaryDarker;
	border-bottom: 1px solid @primaryLightish;
	font-size: 11px;
}

The link colors (@primaryLighter and @primaryLighterStill for the normal and hover states):

#moderatorBar a,
#moderatorBar .itemCount
{
	color: @primaryLighter;
}

	#moderatorBar a:hover
	{
		text-decoration: none;
		background-color: @primaryDark;
		color: @primaryLighterStill;
	}

Forum titles:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/having-trouble-with-styles.6888/#post-99043

What's a slider?

 

[Michael Dance]

the sidebar sorry.

 

[Jake Bunce]

That's all in this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> sidebar.css

By the way, this stuff is in the style properties too. It depends on whether you want to edit the CSS directly or use the interface:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> Sidebar

 

[Michael Dance]

thank you

 

[Paul B]

Shall I change the thread title to add an 's' ?


Just kidding, if you've got any more questions, feel free to ask

 

[Michael Dance]

thank you and lol yeah it may help others

 

[Michael Dance]

sorry is there a way to make the link forums open in a new tab?

 

[Jake Bunce]

sorry is there a way to make the link forums open in a new tab?

Edit this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> node_link_level_2

Find this code:

		<div class="nodeText">
			<h3 class="nodeTitle"><a href="{xen:link link-forums, $link}" data-description-x="#nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}">{$link.title}</a></h3>
			<xen:if is="{$link.description}"><blockquote class="nodeDescription muted baseHtml" id="nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}">{xen:raw $link.description}</blockquote></xen:if>
		</div>

Add target="_blank" to the link, like this:

		<div class="nodeText">
			<h3 class="nodeTitle"><a href="{xen:link link-forums, $link}" data-description-x="#nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}" target="_blank">{$link.title}</a></h3>
			<xen:if is="{$link.description}"><blockquote class="nodeDescription muted baseHtml" id="nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}">{xen:raw $link.description}</blockquote></xen:if>
		</div>
