Hi all, I've uploaded a demonstration of the drop-down menu with plugins built-in for all to see. I've thrown it into the mt3-squash theme, and renamed it mt3-dropdown. Did this because so many of you are already familiar with the mt3 themes that it shouldn't take too much effort to work out what I'...

Yee #$%@ hah it works!!!!!

Garvin, thank you, and if Josh is reading this, all your wishes are about to come true, just having some cross-browser issues, then I'll post a new theme and tutorial.

Cheers

Carl

Garvin, I couldn't find it within the plugins folder so assumed it wasn't a plugin, anyway I can't seem to get this to work for categories. With recent entries and comments I use {serendipity_showPlugin class="serendipity_plugin_comments" side="hidden" negate="null"} Tr...

Garvn, I understand what you're saying, makes sense, it just means my stylesheet has to much bigger because I need to duplicate almost every sidebar style, but prefix it with #nav so I can change the style when it appears in the menu. Performance wise, which is better, a longer stylesheet, or changi...

Hi all, I have successfully integrated the recent entries and recent comments into a drop down menu, but I'm having trouble with the categories list. The problem is that categories aren't a plugin so I'm not able to use the serendipity_showPlugin, I've tried using the code developed in another threa...

Hi all, I'm working on a drop down menu to be placed into a theme which uses the serendipity_showPlugin hook to display the recent comments and recent entries. My drop down is now working flawlessly and just needs some final styling. Howerver the recent comments, and recent entries plugins have thei...

Ah, now I get it, thank you, and yes, that would be absolutely awesome. Just think of the potential for future themes. Just think of how much customisation you could do, I mean you could even use this technique to change the layout of a page, you want a drop down menu, tick the box, you want a plugi...

JWalker, thank you, I'm checking it out now, and maybe their logo will swing it for me, I like pretty things. :) davejr, glad its working, thanks for sticking with it, and I think you are not alone with this problem so sorting it out in this forum might help other users as well. Garvin, got your ema...

Hi Roaster, Thanks for your comments about the connections theme. To change the links, you need to get in under the hood and use some html, but this isn't too difficult. First, open index.tpl within the connections template folder using notepad, wordpad or something similar. Whatever you use must sa...

I've added the commented default theme stylesheet to the wiki, it can be found here

Hope this helps,
Carl

Garvin, I've completed the registration at sf.net, my username is carl_galloway. Looking through their first page of docs it seems I need cvs software, and possibly ssh software. Help! I'm using windows xp home, can anyone suggest a program to use that will let me do what Garvin has suggested, ie be...

Ok, that works for me too, saves bandwidth. Now I just need to learn about cvs.

You guys really like the one-upmanship game don't you? :D Garvin, my apologies, when I copied the url over it missed one of the w's in www, the correct url is this one Images, some of the images I put into themes aren't specified in the stylesheet. For example in the carl themes, the arrows in the c...

Hi guys, ok good to know that my theme isn't causing any problems. Dave, does what judebert say help. I think he means that when you use your ftp program to upload the theme you need to go into your program settings and set the mode for file transfer. I use filezilla, and I have the option of upload...

Hi guys, I have been asked to make some changes to some of the older themes (make them cross-browser compatible, add a couple of missing styles, that sort of thing), and I've also noticed that some of them don't work perfectly with some of the innovations that are occurring within the s9y world. I d...
