Simple as Apple Pie ... lol

Much as I've hovered around the off-topic forum for months, I finally got around to installing and setting up GeeksChat.net last night, and I've got to say - wow - what a great ACP (Admin Control Panel) and what a refreshing change to be able to get stuck in with changes and put them into effect quickly.

In a few short hours (and with no previous experience of XF's ACP or template/file system) I've managed to install a skin (thanks Erik), change the default editor icons for some different ones, add new smilies, add new forum-read icons, placed my Google ads where I want them, add a site logo, and set-up user/moderator permissions and open my forums.

Fantastic. Well done chaps - keep up the good work.

Oh, and did I mention the site name was GeeksChat.net? (lol)

Cheers,
Shaun

Yes, it's really simple.
I have only extrem big problems with the permissions.
As a hardcore vBulletin user with some learning troubles, it's really hard to understand how's the new system working

I've spent weeks configuring the permissions, but they are still not as they should be

They seem pretty straight forward to me, but then if you have complex requirements there may not be the options to cover what your need?

Actually, I did have one question regarding the permissions myself - does anyone know what the "Revoke" column does?

http://xenforo.com/help/permissions/

It's used for node permissions, to remove an Allow which has been set elsewhere.

I see, so for example, if you don't want regular members to ever access a feature - regardless of any other group memberships - you set the option to never.

But if you've got a regular group who can't access it, but a subscription group who can, you set it to revoke for the regular group so that the additional subscription membership can overwrite the permission once they've paid-up.

Have I got that right?

Spot on

Good work! You still need to remove that blue background from the status forum icons.

I made the changes this morning, but as I have long expires headers on my server you might need to do a forced refresh. What browser are you using Peggy?

 

[CTXMedia]

Scratch that ... I've just logged out and you're right ... the evil blue background is back ... lol

I shall endeavour to hunt it down and kill it.

.node .forumNodeInfo.unread .nodeIcon, .node .categoryForumNodeInfo.unread .nodeIcon {
background-image: url(styles/flexile/xenforo/widgets/forum-unread.png);
background-color: #1061B3;
}

It's the background colour set for the class.
Remove that or set it to transparent.

[Sorry Paul, missed your post - was fiddling with the templates - but yes, you had it nailed. Clever clogs!! ].

Unread ... I'd removed the background element for read forums, but not unread.

Thanks Peggy ...

I use Flexile too and had to remove mine.
