Whats the download link?

Thanks, you made my day.

Will have some new stuff to add to this thread soon.

Firstly, thanks Brad for sharing your work. It's a really nice project that can encourage more visitors to become members and participate.

I'm trying to implement some of your changes, but I'm no expert at all.

It's adapted from the Block & Blue theme. Originally the theme is set up to call the login window when the login ID link is clicked, but I edited the jQuery to also open it on the click of a specific class. Then I changed all guest links using template conditionals to the class needed to call the menu. It took longer than expected, altogether. haha

I was looking to solve this issue, to get the Block&Blue login window after a guest click on "new post" or "new reply". I though it was easier but after reading your message I've no idea how to do it. Can you share the details or make a tutorial?

That said, for people who don't have the ability to code their own themes from scratch, I plan to release a skeleton theme in 2013 that will take on a lot of the functionality presented here. It will be very minimally styled, as the intent would be to customize it while retaining the functionality and templates that make it useful.

Loooking fordward for it! Will you wait until 1.8 release?

Thanks for your great support!

Auto-reply: as an alternative I edited "error_nopermission" in Block & Blue Templates to make it more "Human" friendly

You need to change the javascript in theme-js.js to open with a class instead of an ID so you can have multiple instances on the page. Then just something like this ...

forumdisplay_newthread

<if $mybb->usergroup['gid'] == 1 then>
<a class="login-link" href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}" class="button bigbutton"><span class="icon-comments"></span> start a discussion</a>
<else>
<a href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}"><span class="icon-comments"></span> start a discussion</a>
</if>

Thanks! I'll try to play around with that, don't feel confident modifying a .js
Great job!

PS: looking forward for your future theme release

Would you mind sharing how you used CSS to make your forumdisplay td's clickable without javascript, Brad? I have a rough idea of how to go about it, but if you're willing to share it then I'd rather save a little time.

[Krytic]

Tecca, AFAIK you do this:

position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;

Not tried in MyBB though.

Edit: hm, I might have read that wrong. x.x

Edit2: Yep xD

The key is this:

<a href="Topic-Your-Style-Inspiration-Pictures">
<span class="threadlink">
</span>
</a>

span.threadlink {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 58px;
left: 0;
z-index: 0;
}

Then you set the position of all other link elements in the td to relative.

Awesome, thank you. I'll do this when I get the chance (working on a new theme but currently have no plans or niche for it, so I've been a little slow).
