Beautiful work - very well done.  Works great in the ancient IE7 standard that my company uses right now.

Hi,

Unfortunately there was a mistake in the original .txt file. However, there's a new tutorial at http://www.jubo.co.uk/blog/2011/10/easy-theme-tutorial/ that tells you how to use a smaller image, and what to change to make it work.

I hope these instructions work better for you?

Jubo thank you so much for this i'm so happy, my site actually looks like it should now.

My css knowlegde is none and your walk through couldnt be easier

I will play with your slider version soon.

I would love to get rid of the elgg images/links and/or replace them with mine any help please

again thank you so much my site looks great.

Wayne

@waynaldo It's good to hear that you're finding the theme useful and easy to customise.

To remove/replace the 'powered by elgg' graphic:  Edit, 'mod/easytheme/views/default/page/elements/footer.php'

Hi,

i serach it ;) but i have trouble :( - I have elgg 1.8.0.1 - i activate theme. and when i go to my site first time i don't have this defetault logo from this theme :/ but when i login to my account i get it :/. Site is load succesful so i don;t know what is the trouble :/ 

I want add - i have that trouble with all theme's. Logo don't want load when i go first time to my site, only when i login :/. 

Thanks jubo

i have another how to question

i changed the favicon in elgg 1.81b

and i think it causes a deprecating error message.

is there a way to do this via your plugin?

thanks

wayne

There is... 

1] put your favicon.ico file in 'mod/easytheme/img'

2] create a file 'shortcut_icon.php'

3] Put this in the file:

<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>mod/easytheme/img/favicon.ico" />

4] Save the file in 'mod/easytheme/views/default/page/elements/'

@Maciej I don't think that is caused by the theme. Sorry I can't help.

Thanks Jubo

Hi jubo i hope things are going well for you.

i need a little advice on how to add more information to the site name, i would like to (Under the site name) bullet point a list of site functions or just add a little write up. i have tried to work it out for myself but failed.

Thanks

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

You need to open the file: 'mod/easytheme/views/default/page/elements/header_logo.php'

The code that is in <h1> tags is the site name...

Add something like this after it: 

<div style="margin-top:30px; padding:10px;">

<ul>

<li>one</li>

<li>two</li>

<li>three</li>

</ul>

</div>

Thanks mate it works well.

This is awesome! I wanted a simple theme with the pages I could customise to create my own look and this was super easy to use. I only have one question, it moved the "powered by elgg" to the left side of the footer, how do I get it back to the right side?

Hi Jason,

find '.mts' in 'mod/easytheme/views/default/easytheme/css.php' and change it to this:

.mts {padding-right:10px;}

Thanks for the quick response, that is what it says so I must have another conflict with something else. Overall, I love this plug in!

No, the problem is with the theme, I just didn't give you the right answer there (sorry).

Something changed in the css when they released 1.8.1 and I've already fixed it on my copy of theme, but I didn't keep a full note of what I did.

I think you can solve the problem by just changing this line in 'mod/easytheme/views/default/page/elements/footer.php':

echo '<div class="mts clearfloat right ">'; 

to... echo '<div class="mts clearfloat float-alt">';

Thank You, that fixed it!

I highly recommend this plug in. It is perfect for people like me who only know basic code. I don't know enough to make my own theme so I used to hack the elgg core code and make the site look like I wanted. But I had to hack again after every update. This plugin creates a basic theme with great instructions so the people like me who only know enough code to be dangerous can edit the theme and have a great looking site without having to hack elgg core. And you provide awesome feedback!

Thanks for the recommendation :) 

Can you edit the background color of the content areas with this?

No. Just the background, header, sidebar and footer.

by the way, if you are going to use Easy Theme you should download version 1.3.4

ok thanks. I really want to edit the content areas though. I am so sick of white backgrounds on social networks.

It's a pet peeve of mine :P
