The Elgg Community

This theme has 3 different example headers. You can activate a different header (see the instructions in the themes css file) basically uncomment the one you want, and comment out the other two.

It also has a demo of a simple menu bar in the header - this is contained in the theme page_elements/header.php

Requirements:
Elgg v1.1

Once installed to your /mod directory, go to Tool Administration, use the new up/down/top/bottom function to move the theme to the bottom of the plugin list (so that it loads last).

It currently contains skins for the following plugins:

• all core plugins (profile, groups, admin stuff etc)
+
• blog
• bookmarks
• file
• friends
• messageboard
• messages
• pages
• status

Great theme Pete. i'm currently running it now with a slightly modified header. Are there any modifications since Elgg v1.1 release?

Hi Pete,

Would you be interested in slightly modifying your theme and making it more IT related -- showing Servers, Racks, data centers, etc, etc.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the many theme ideas you're coming up with. With theme, I'm getting the river icons and associated text overlapping in the Activity and Friends Activity Widget. I'm using Firefox 3.0.3. Has anyone else seen this?

Cheers,

John

@John, Thanks for pointing that out. The river_item p rule has been corrupted (during a search and replace in Coda - this has happened before, but I missed it this time!).

You can either grab the theme again - as I've updated the zip now, or in the themes main css file go to line 1296, remove the corrupted rule (.river_item p theme_blacktech) and replace with:

.river_item p { line-height:1.1em; margin:0pt; min-height:17px; padding:2px 0pt 0pt 20px; }

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is it possible to get skins for the following plugin also Pete?? I would make them myself and offer them for free as an expansion to your current theme if I knew how to do it.

BTW, I think you forgot the skin for the forgot password link in this skin cause I get a white page when I click forgot password after installing this theme.

@hip Hop Servers, unfortunately I don't have time to make and maintain skins for all the different plugins running under all the different themes. However, the plugins should inherit most of the theme's css and hopefully only require small additions/tweakage.

re. the password link - I just loaded the theme up here and clicked the forgotten password
page - and all is well, it goes to a sep. page (which has been styled). So I am guessing you are either running some custom mods which have messed with it, or something else!

Yep for sure, all the themes are customisable, and are designed to be a starting point for your own mods.

I hate to be a dummy but I guess I am... I downloaded this theme then unzipped it and uploaded it to my mods directory. I enabled it but nothing has changed, everything still looks like the default app. Also, I guess I don't understand the "uncomment the one you want, and comment out the other two" thing. Exactly how do you uncomment and comment. Sorry, I am new to this type of program and just learning. Fortunately I learn quickly and retain what I learn. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hello Pete, I love how this skin looks... I am wondering if it will be available for the latest version v.1.2?

Would be great to see a renewed version of this theme for Elgg 1.5. or a well another well constructed "Dark" theme. Is there anything like that in the works that we can look forward to Pete?

Hey Pete,

Is it possible to have a different header on different page? For instance, I want to keep header 2 for home page and header3 for rest of the inner page. If yes, which file I have to modify.

Would appreciate your prompt response!

With Thanks!
