Overlay blue

[raffo]

I'm moving from SMF to IPB, and i have some questions:

1) i want to use ip.content and ip.download: are they already compatible with the skin Overlay?

2) will the upgrade to 3.2 be free?

3) is possible to make some custom modifications to it?

for example:

- characters a little bit bigger?

- the title of the last post in "last post info" in forum homepage, is possible to have it longer (until 90 characters about)?

- is possible to add avatars, in the "last post info" in forum homapage?

- is possible to hide some hover effects? (maybe in admin panel choosing which deactivate and which not deactivate)

- is possible to make the background color, going (is it the correct name: gradient?) from blue to white? blue in the top part and white in the bottom, in the same way i already have in my website, that you find in my forum url?

4) is the skin you use in this forum buyable?

How much does cost a custom modification, starting from a premade skin?

Thanks!

Hello,

1. The downloads module is compatible. IPContent will be made compatible in version 3.2

2. Yes

3. Modifications are possible, but I'm not sure how to do all of your requests.

- Character size, yes

- Topic title requires a backend PHP modification, and isn't a skin edit

- It's possible - I just don't know how

- IPB doesn't offer "skin options" in the admin cpanel, so this isn't possible

- Changing the background is possible, yes

4. The current skin is not for sale I'm afraid. A similar one may come for 3.2, but I haven't planned or designed it yet.

Hope that helps!

1) ok

2) ok

3)

- characters: ok

- topic title: my precedent experience with SMF was easier... i just changed a value from 30 to 90 (in php code) and the topic title became longer... so, just to understand: is it not possible at all?

- avatar: sorry, but i don't understand... in other skins you have inserted the avatars in the "last post info"; why do you write me "i just don't know how", if you already have done it?

- hover effects: ok, not by admin panel, but you could deactivate it if i ask this modification?

- background color: ok

4) ok

Thanks for your reply!

Hello,

As mentioned earlier, the length of the topic titles can be changed, but it requires a php modification (not a skin modification). I don't think a setting exists. You'll need to ask a programmer for this solution since I'm unsure myself.

I have never inserted the avatar under "Last post info". You must be getting me confused with someone else.. I don't know how to do it.

Hover effects can be removed from the code if necessary.. What hover effects are you referring to exactly?

ok, for lenght i think i'll be able to do it alone, i think it's just a piece of code, easy to change...

for the avatar, i wrote wrong... i was just refering to ipb standard skin 3.2 beta, that has it (http://community.invisionpower.com/)... so i tought that it'd be easy to repeat it, because it is already part of standard skin...

hover: the ones that appear "topics and replies" when going over the forum name... they are nice the first three times you see it... after that, they become annoying...

The avatar code is for 3.2 only. It doesn't work on 3.1, even if you copy/paste.

The topic/reply hover effect can be removed if needed (and the text can just be placed next to the forum name).
