Thanks for the new theme. I installed it and have a few questions before I use it on my site. There are some things I would like to change on it and wanted your permission before doing so. If this is an issue, I will respect your decision and not use it.

Thanks!

Yeah - change anything you want - no probs
Maybe let us see what you've done? - I might want to use your ideas in the future

The 'Admin' is hard coded and just indicates that 'test77' is the admin (user) of that artist site. Again, change it if you can think of a better descriptor.

UPDATE

I've took the 'smarty counters' out of the menu generator templates. They didn't seem to be working reliably, and it makes the drop downs tidier anyway. There's also a typo fixed in config.cfg.php!!!

Updated the .zip - Files changed are -

config.cfg.php
menu_items_js_songs_list.tpl
menu_items_js_video_list.tpl
menu_items_js_radio_list.tpl
menu_items_js_photos_list.tpl
menu_items_js_store_list.tpl

Cheers Pa

Thanks Pasher! I just did not want to step on anyones toes

[Dazed]

How do I change the left, center and right columns? I am looking in the css files and am not real sure what I need to change. I would like to center the main artist area.

Also I notice you have a sections for ad content on the right. What file do I need to make changes to?

Thanks!

Hi Dazed
Near the top of the CSS file(s) there's a section called -
/* DIV TAG Positions */
I've mostly used 'absolute divs' to fix their positions and the screen coordinates are contained in these definitions -

Code

/* DIV TAG Positions */ #VeryTop { position: absolute; left: 16px; top: 00px; width:964px; height: 20px; } #VeryTop a:link {text-decoration: none; color: #911;} #VeryTop a:visited {text-decoration: none; color: #911;} #VeryTop a:active {text-decoration: none; color: #911;} #VeryTop a:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: #911;} #SideGraphic { position: absolute; left: 16px; top: 20px; width:100px; height: 430px; } #TopGraphic { position: absolute; left: 116px; top: 20px; width:340px; height: 80px; } #Content { position: absolute; left: 116px; top: 100px; width:624px; background-color: #330000; } #TopRight { position: absolute; left: 456px; top: 20px; width:284px; height: 80px; background-color: #330000; } #BottomInfo { position: static; width:624px; background-color: #330000; } #BottomGraphic { position: static; width:624px; height: 16px; } #Ads { position: absolute; left: 760px; top: 20px; width:220px; background-color: #f0f0d0; }

So, to change the width of the lhs graphic column, you'd need to fiddle with all the coordinates of all the div statements accordingly. The centre and right columns are in the 'Content' div and their widths are defined in each page xxxx_header.tpl and xxxx_footer.tpl files -

Code

<TABLE CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=7 WIDTH=624>   <TR>     <TD COLSPAN="2" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="24">       <center>         {assign var="selected" value="your_site"}         {include file="$THEME_DIR/menu.tpl"}       </center>     </TD>   </TR>   <TR>     <TD WIDTH="75%" VALIGN=TOP> <table class="Table1"> <tr>   <td class="LHead">     <b>&nbsp;Gig Calendar</b>   </td> </tr>

and

Code

</table> <br> </center>     </TD>     <TD WIDTH="25%" VALIGN=TOP>       {jr_theme_php_include file="side.php"}     </TD>   </TR> </TABLE>

so at the moment, the columns are set to 75% and 25% of the overall 'content' table.

And yes, there is an 'Ads' div in the CSS, but its not used at the moment. It defines all the 'white space' on the right.
to use it, I'd modify the overall_footer.tpl as follows -

Code

{* make sure we only ever include our footer 1 time *} {jr_unique_block name="footer"}       <div id="BottomInfo">         <center>         <table class="SmallPrintTable">           <tr>             <td class="SmallPrintText">               &copy;2004 - {$smarty.now|jr_date_format:"%Y"} Motagator Music.

Thanks Pasher!

There are two issues I need to resolve. I have been unable to extend the sidegraphic to extend a little lower. I have changed it in the css but I still get the small 100x430 box. The other is on one of the uploaded songs and uploaded photos. I have played with the song/photo footer to add the right side ads but it keeps appearing twice lol. Any idea what I need to change?

#SideGraphic {
position: absolute; left: 16px; top: 20px; width:100px; height: 800px;
}

Here is what it looks like so far:

Pasher thanks so much for sharing your theme with us!

Hi Dazed
Yes - I see what you mean
I'm no html expert and program by trial and error mostly - if something works, I keep it, not necessarily understanding why
So what I'd try is to take out the height parameter -

#SideGraphic {
position: absolute; left: 16px; top: 20px; width:100px;
}

My logic is that if there is no absolute height defined. it might be happy to find its own.
This is just a guess, of course

Cheers
Pa

Yeah that was a good thought but still no go hehe.

Back to trial and error!

Thanks again

I'm guessing that somewhere in the code that is inside the 'SideGraphic Div', the height is defined. Have you looked closely there?

I have been all over that css file and I am yet to find out how to change it lol. It will come to me eventually or someone else will figure it out. (which is more than likely the solution lol)

Sorry - didn't make it clear. Check your code for the 'scrolling spotlights'. See if there's anything in that defining the height.
