5.0 is up and running

If you look at the link you will see the first issue.
mygarageshop.com/forum

I use custom icons and the text is overlapping.
I tried to adjust it in CSS but I did not find a solution

When you log out it still says "Welcome MyGarageShop"

During instal if you did not choose the storage location
update option, how can you it after?

And a question. I use high slide all over my site
and I stylized it. Can I hook into the current image display
and replace the call to my image display.

sorry, not following...  there is no overlap between text and icons - at least not in FF...  if there is overlap in other browsers, you might just need to increase the column width in your theme...

storage locations are set on forum - integration - storage locations...

have you disabled our image enlarger?  is that what you want highslide to do?

On question 1, the icons overlapping, you would need to change the percentage of width that column uses.

Take a look at the spForumView.php in your default theme's templates folder. Around line #69 you will see column #1, #2, etc.

Change #1 from 6% to about 10%. Then subtract 4% from another column. Probably column #2.

If you are familiar with Firefox's Firebug add on you can test the changes without having to manually do them in the theme's file first.

#2 - Where does it say that and what if any redirect are you using on logout?

#3- You can go to the Forum admin Integration - Storage Locations and change them there.

#4 - I don't know f an easy way to do that. Maybe Steve or Andy does.

I've noticed the same thing (although it doesn't bother me). Logged out users have "Welcome back User
Please log in to post" in the top left where it it normally says "Logged in as User". I assume a cookie is causing it.

on forum - options - member settings there are a couple of options that could affect this...  disallow members to log in as guests...  and the guest settings section...

4 PARTS TO THIS POST: Part 1 and 2 are important to me the others are just issue reports for version 5.0 unless I am supposed to report those somewhere else?

 

Part 1

I edited the file spForumView.php in the /wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/default/templates directory.

There are 2 places where column exist I edited them both no change. Yet if I change it in chrome or firefox it makes a difference. I clipped the line that I changed in chrome.

 

<div class="spColumnSection spLeft" style="width: 11%; min-height: 55px;">

Is there another place to change this?

 

  

Part 2

Replacing you current image display with Highslide. I use highslide through out my site.

It adapted it mo my needs and I have a consistant look through out the site.

I would like to replace your current image display with mine.

It was Andy who helped me previously when I wanted to modify the highslide implementation in version 4.x.x to match my site, so I think I will need to direct this to him again.

 

Part 3

I only posted the Login display error as an FYI... Its only minor to me, but thought you would want to know if we find something.

 

Part 4

I posted these items to help you with finalizing the 5.0 Version.

When I test my site I test it in:

    Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari, Chrome, iPad, & iPhone

This overlapping problem exists in all environments.

On #1 - Your forum is using the default theme.  It was installed when you installed SP  5.0. It will be in the directory/folder shown in your Admin pages Forum > Integration - Storage Locations. There you will see the location of your themes folder.

Go to that folder and you will see a templates folder under the default folder. There is where you will find the spForumView.php file.

part 1

spForumView is part of the SP theme your using...

ignore the zip... only used during upgrade from 4.4 to 5.0 one time...

part 2

can wait on Andy if you like - he certainly knows highslide better than I...

part 3

still not sure what 'error' you are referring too...

part 4

I do not see that on your site with latest FF... and as I said, you added oversized icons so you need to increase the width of that column in the theme...
