could be… best to disable caching in the browser while playing with css…

also, if you are using combined css caching on forum – options – global settings, you will need to clear the css cache via forum – toolbox – housekeeping if you change the css stylesheets…

Bingo!

Of course I cleaned the browser cache several time, but nothing…

Then I cleaned the CSS cache in housekeeping and…done!

Thank you Steve. Now it looks great!

Now, back to the child…

I will get there!

good news!  glad to help…  let us know how it goes!

It goes great, Steve!

Child theme done and it works.

I only have a couple of small problems…

I modified the files spHeadDesktop.php and spGroupViewDesktop.php in the folder templates/desktop.

In the first one I changed the breadcrumbs by removing Home, in the second one I commented out the area Unread and recently updated topics.

The two modified files are in the child theme, but for some reason the system uses the two files from reboot so those things look just normal.

If I modify the files in reboot, it works but it will get back to normal when I upgrade the theme.

Any ideas?

Reboot is a little different…

In the main /templates folder of your child theme you will also need a copy of the file spGroupView.php from the parent ‘reboot’ folder’. That should sort it.

I fixed it, Andy! It works perfectly!

The only thing I cannot do is to change the font size in the stats area.

I cannot find the function.

Where do I have to put my hands?

You want to change the stats fint size? Then use:

#spMainContainer .spStatsSection {
    font-size: 12px;
}

setting the font-size as you want it.

Bu the way – if you are using Reboot as your Mobile theme as well then you will need to copy in the equivalent mobile template(s) into the /mobile folder as any you have in the /desktop folder.

Perfect! All done!

Thank you Andy!

Hmmm… it was too easy…

I just went to the forum with my iPhone, no forum at all!

Pretty much, I only see a long list of words, no CSS at all.

I set up in the admin area to use rebootchild for mobile phones and tablets, but it doesn’t work…

It doesn’t work with reboot either.

Did you copy the mobile template in to your child theme as a said you needed to?

Yes I did…

Ok – so – tell me what templates you have in what folders please

In mobile?

I have spFootMobile.php, spForumViewMobile.php, spGroupViewMobile.php, spHeadMobile.php, spListViewMobile.php, spMembersViewMobile.php and spTopicViewMobile.php.

But I just noticed that no matter which theme I use for mobile, the result is the same. No CSS at all!

Sorry  let’s go back to basics as I don’t think you are quite understanding me…

Reboot has three template folders… /templates – /templates/desktop and /templates/mobile.

When you start a child theme they should all be empty.

If you need to customise a template (say the group view) then you need to do the following 3 tasks:

1. Copy the spGroupView.php from the parent /templates folder to the child /templates folder
2. Copy the spGroupViewDesktop.php from the parent /templates/desktop folder to the child /templates/desktop folder.
3. Copy the spGroupViewMobile.php from the parent /templates/mobile folder to the child /templates/mobile folder.

So can we confirm. Is this what you have done? The list you sent me above makes no sense…

Not really…

In the /templates I have all the files from reboot and the 2 folders desktop and mobile with all the files.

I modified most of them so I need to have them there.

Is it correct?
