Frog CMS

I’ve knocked up an override for forum template. Various tweaks and changes:

• screen 1

• screen 2

If you’re using Firefox + Stylish , here’s the code to plugin:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("forum.madebyfrog.com") {

body{
margin:0 !important;
padding:0 !important;
}
input[type=text]{
width:600px !important;
}
td.infos{
background:#e9e9e9 !important;
width:200px !important;
}
td.post_content{
padding:0 0 0 20px !important;
}
td.post_content a:visited{
color:#4b22bb !important;
}
td.post_content blockquote{
background-color:#ffffff !important;
border:none !important;
border-left:10px solid #dddddd !important;
color:#666666 !important;
}
td.post_content blockquote p{
background-color:#ffffff !important;
color:#666666 !important;
}
td.post_content code{
color:#954b00 !important;
font:13px Consolas,"Courier New",Courier,monospace !important;
}
td.post_content li{
font:13px/1.5 Georgia,serif !important;
}
td.post_content p{
font:13px/1.6 Georgia,serif !important;
}
td.post_content pre{
background:none !important;
border:none !important;
border-left:10px solid #ffe0c1 !important;
}
textarea#post_body{
height:400px !important;
width:1000px !important;
}
tr.odd td,tr.even td{
border-top:1px solid #cccccc !important;
}
ul#nav a{
color:#e0ffc1 !important;
text-decoration:none !important;
}
#content a{
color:#499500 !important;
text-decoration:none !important;
}
#footer a{
color:#666666 !important;
}
#header{
background:#77c022 !important;
border:none !important;
margin:0 !important;
padding:20px 80px !important;
}
#header h1 a{
color:#ffffff !important;
font:24px Georgia,serif !important;
line-height:1 !important;
margin:0 !important;
}

}

Philippe,

there is some bug on it !! the textarea for the reply is really too big ;)

Not really a bug – just my preference. Easily changed – ‘width:1000px !important;’ to whatever value you would like.

…all the design and branding of Frog I will have a big help From www.olaisred.com

Why is it changing? It’s very nice as is. :)

P.S. While you’re here Philippe, would you consider using different forum software? This one lacks some basic functionality that is going to make things more difficult as time goes by. E.g. there is no way to link to individual posts, no way to find all posts by a user, no way to view subscriptions or manage them centrally, no way to subscribe to posts I make automatically, the popup reply box covers content which I want to view while replying, no RSS subscription, URLs are not automatically linkified, etc.

FluxBB would get my vote.

Philippe,

One useful enhancement for the post link would be to highlight the post. E.g. when I visit http://forum.madebyfrog.com/post/6447/#post_6447, I do not know which post it is unless I hover over all of the posts that appear on screen. This is only an issue when the post is near the bottom of the display window and therefore cannot be positioned at top.
