Apart from that, awesome work 5/5

For some reason, the number of comments appears at the top of the post. I think most people are used to seeing them below.

Open the file index.main.php on line 80. Move the feedback block below the post content.

// POST CONTENT INCLUDED HERE
	skin_include( '_item_content.inc.php', $params );
	
	// Link to comments, trackbacks, etc.:
	$Item->feedback_link( array(
		  'type'		=> 'comments',
		  'link_before'	=> '<div style="margin:0 20px 20px 0; font-size:12px; text-align:right">',
		  'link_after'	=> '</div>',
		  'link_text_zero'	=> '#',
		  'link_text_one'	=> '#',
		  'link_text_more'	=> '#',
		  'link_title'		=> '#',
		  'use_popup'		=> false,
	  ) );

How do I disable the gravatar stuff/no avatars?

Comment or delete line 83 in _item_content.inc.php

// Display gravatar
//$Skin->disp_gravatar_img( $Comment );

How to justify the text on blog entries?

Add text-align:justify in style.css on line 93

div#main div.bPost div.content_excerpt { padding: 5px 20px 10px 20px; overflow: hidden; font-size: 13px; text-align:justify }

Also, where do I add links to the header, next to the home and login links?

Add a Free HTML widget to the Menu container. Use the following code

<li><a href="http://myurl.com">My Link</a></li>

Apart from that, awesome work 5/5

Thanks

Haha, such a fast reply! Thank you again, I'm currently using the skin.

Regarding the comments appearing below, did you mean to check the _item_block_inc.php instead? That's the only place I can find the lines in question.

Edit: All sorted, nicely done.

Yeah, it's _item_block.inc.php

Just noticed a small inconsistency between browsers.

Google chrome renders the extra menu links as standard links (they appear orange rather than white, like the rest).

Probably Chrome's fault, it' still new after all. :]

You have to clean up the code in menu container. This is what you have now

Sorted, nice one.

Thanks for your excellent support!

Last question ever... ;)

What's the most reliable way to replace the text-based title at the top of a blog with a logo?

Place a Blog logo widget in header container above the Tagline, then remove the Blog title widget. Don't forget to upload an image in blog media directory like /media/blogs/a/

You can style the logo using this class in style.css

div#header div.blog_title h1 img { SOMETHING HERE }

*I'm an arse so all my spamming crap got deleted and I got made ino a muppet :(

Hi,

I have a pretty simple question I think. But first: Nice Skin I love it:)

Now to the issue. Let's say I want to do some minor color changes e.g. everything thats now orange (ff5a00) should be red (bd0000).
So i make a new date.gif and make changes to the style.css (ff5a00->bd0000).
Works fine but links in posts or in the sidebar are still orange.
What would I have to change to get those red?

on a sidenote: I'm no webdesigner programmer or anything like that.....

to check what i'm talking about: http://blog.sn00kums.org

open up styles.css and change below; -line 31 approx.-

a {
border:medium none;
color:#FF5A00;
text-decoration:none;
}

Thx but there is no appearance of ff5a00/FF5A00 in styles.css. I already replaced every encounter with bd0000.

You can take a look at it: http://blog.sn00kums.org/style.css

Move your modified style.css here http://blog.sn00kums.org/skins/pyrmont/style.css ;)

It is. The other one you can look at is just a copy.

EDIT: Well at least I thought so... thanks for the help. Seems that I forgot to upload the newest version to the pyrmont folder. So thx again. I wont bother you anymore :)

no problem

ah dammit! I have to bother another time :D

(How) Can I place an Image in the background?

Not the Blogtitle as described earlier but the entire bg.

Just edit this image http://blog.sn00kums.org/skins/pyrmont/images/bg.gif

If you want the image to repeat along the whole page you should add it do body

body { font-family: "Lucida Grande", Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; background-color: #121315; background: url(images/some_image.jpg) }

Thanks that works (of course DUH! :D)
but it seems to be limited in size. Is there any way to use a larger image that fills the entire background without repeating?

Upload your own image and use

background: url(images/some_image.jpg) no-repeat

ah k thx I got it!

Skin updated
Fixed some display bugs

I just inverted the colour scheme in photoshop to see how it would look, the result was a very clean looking modern theme.

Have you thought of releasing it in a similar flavour?

Feel free to customize the skin and release it, I don't have plans about this skin.
