^ there is so many bits that have changed you'd be better off updating and re doing the mods .. it couldn't be any worse than mine

[Timan]

The best thing you can do when you modify the skin, is make the skin you want to use a "Sub-skin" that way it only changes templates of the parent skin (which would be the Aqua-Soft skin with no templates changed)

So far, I'm comparing this to the new vBulletin 4.0 and the theming seems to be much less of a hassle under vB4 (particularly remaining apparently constant between version udates).

From following your status updates on here, it seems IPB make fundamental changes every time they release another update.

[Timan]

Yep, I'm scared sh*tless atm as a skinner. They've already confirmed 3.2 will be a skin re-write, which means I have to do the same thing I just did with this version of the skin.

vBulletin 4 is a mess, so I'm not even gonna go there atm.

Then I found a new forum script (from the ex vb dev) called xenForo http://xenforo.com/community/

RECOMMENDED YOU UPDATE THE IMAGES TOO

Update: 1-13-2011
- Updated misc templates for IPB 3.1.4 support
- Added Blog support
- Added Dark color scheme
- Added Moderation toggle (for those who don't want to see them all the time, it shows up in the staff bar)
- Replaced reply menu with button unless you have extra options (such as ip, delete, edit)
- Misc iPad tweaks

How could it be more of a mess that iPB currently is?

More reliable for skinning?

Thanks for updating to support IP.Blog, but unfortunately the image pack is missing images for the blog? After installing this skin, when I go to blogs from my phone, I just get a white background for everything as if no images exist.

[Sull]

Hey Tim,

Just wondering what image this is. The missing one ?

xenForo is garbage right now. I installed a test board, and not as good as it sounds at all.

[Sull]

I got all excited by the look of it, but I didn't see or find anything about mobile skin....

That's been my impression as well. Glad I'm not alone in that.

main blog index was showing latest entry when you clicked the blog name instead of the a list of the bloggers entries. found a test in php template "blogTablerow" and changed it to this - basically switched the test if and else around respectivly.

<if test="newdata:|:$blog['last_read'] < $blog['blog_last_update']">
<a href="{parse url="app=blog&amp;module=display&amp;section=blog&amp;blogid={$blog['blog_id']}" template="showblog" seotitle="{$blog['blog_seo_name']}" base="public"}">
		<else />
			<a href="{parse url="app=blog&amp;module=display&amp;section=blog&amp;blogid={$blog['blog_id']}&amp;showentry={$blog['blog_last_entry']}" template="showentry" seotitle="{$blog['entry_name_seo']}" base="public"}">

					</if>

[miguelmayo]

also prefer the short entry for the featured blog instead of a link so I switch this in the template "blogIndexPage"

<if test="featured:|:is_array($featured) AND count($featured)">
		<div class='box'>
			<h3>Featured Entries</h3>
			<ol>
				<foreach loop="featuredloop:$featured as $fid => $entry<if test="featured:|:is_array($featured) AND count($featured)">
		<div class='box'>
			<h3>Featured Entries</h3>
			<ol>
				<foreach loop="featuredloop:$featured as $fid => $entry">{parse template="blogFeaturedEntry" group="blog_list" params="$entry"}</foreach>
			</ol>
		</div>
	</if>
foreach>
			</ol>
		</div>
	</if>

all I did was switch

{parse template="blogTableRow" 

to this

{parse template="blogFeaturedEntry" 

this give me a snippet of the post

I'm not sure what image that is. Any way you can tell me the file name?




Also i knew something was funny about blogs, I'll take a look at it. I only had my dev site to test them on, so limited content to see how everything works.

[miguelmayo]

I have a buddy who has an iphone and I have a droid x - he doesnt have the issues I do, the java menues start from the left of the button and get squished on the droid, seems they are right justified on the iphone? I dont know how to take a screen shot on the droid or I would. I hacked up the blog templates a bit more and made them the way I like them.

Wanna pm me your site details, and if you'd like me to get rid of the shoutbox on your mobile site. Setup a dummy account for me and I'll fix it.
