Umm you could do the easy route and do this:

Find the height of the container which i think is 184px.

Find the height of your banner.

DO: [height of the container] - [height of your banner] = [REMAINING PX]

DO: [REMAINING PX] / 2 = [FINAL PADDING]

On container css add:

Code: [Select]

padding-top: [FINAL PADDING];

Also:
Edit Drop down menu:

<a class="chosen" href="#"><span>', $txt['vp_menu_item_one'] ,'</span></a>EDIT TO:

Add sub menu to item:
FIND:

Code: [Select]

<a class="chosen" href="#"><span>', $txt['vp_menu_item_one'] ,'</span></a>ADD AFTER:

Code: [Select]

<li>
<a href="#"><span>', $txt['vp_sub_menu_item_one'] ,'</span></a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#"><span>', $txt['vp_sub_menu_item_two'] ,'</span></a>
</li>
</ul>

Just a suggestion: all users who don't have avatars should be given/set a default avatar so that threads don't look plain.

I added that to the profile view but I can certainly add it to posts. Thanks for the suggestion!

Welcome to Visual Pulse 2.0! April 7^th, 2011 marks the date.

We have totally overhauled the whole theme making it way brighter from the previous version if you remember and removed some unnecessary features. We also added a Featured Work Submission when starting/editing the main topic. If you scroll down to the bottom you will see the Featured Work Bar.

Thank Nerve for and Anthony` for helping me out throughout the process of making this theme.

If you find any un-finished or a buggy section in the site please just report it by replying to this topic.


WE ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW BANNER! Yes you heard it right, Visual Pulse wants a new banner and we need YOU GUYS to make it. Post your submission in the Exhibit and the best one will get put up, featured, and a shout out. Dimensions: 1000 x 200 px


- :vpfav:

The new Visual Pulse theme should be out by the start of next week which is when my Spring Break ends . I have been working hard for quite a while on this project and hope you guys enjoy it when it comes out.

I have not been releasing any content on VP because of this and hopefully after I can make another SMF Theme or a tutorial.

No preview as this will be a surprise to everyone!

This tutorial will show you how to beautify or clean up your CSS so it is easy to read and understand.

We will be turning this:

Code: [Select]

#first_thing { float: left; background-color: #ffffff; width: 100%; }
#first_thing .class { height: 5px; list-style: none; display: inline; }



.help_topic_div {
display:inline-block;
color: #000000; }
.header_bar_two
{
clear:both;
border:none;
background:transparent url(../images/bg-scrollbar-end.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
height:100%;
width:13px;
position:relative;
padding: 0 1px;
}




into this:

Code: [Select]


#first_thing
{
float: left;
background-color: #fff;
width: 100%;
}

#first_thing .class
{
height: 5px;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
}

.help_topic_div
{
display: inline-block;
color: #000;
}

.header_bar_two
{
clear: both;
border: none;
background: transparent url(../images/bg-scrollbar-end.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
height: 100%;
width: 13px;
position: relative;
padding: 0 1px;
}


INSTRUCTIONS::
1. Copy your css to your clipboard. We will be using the code block below...
- To select all of it open it up in any text editor, CTR+A, and then CTR+C or right click copy.

Code: [Select]

#first_thing { float: left; background-color: #ffffff; width: 100%; }
#first_thing .class { height: 5px; list-style: none; display: inline; }



.help_topic_div {
display:inline-block;
color: #000000; }
.header_bar_two
{
clear:both;
border:none;
background:transparent url(../images/bg-scrollbar-end.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
height:100%;
width:13px;
position:relative;
padding: 0 1px;
}



2. Paste your code into the output field on this website: http://floele.flyspray.org/csstidy/css_optimiser.php?lang=en


3. Check the Output as file checkbox (this is for easy copying later)


4. Leave the rest of the settings and press the Proceed CSS button

5. Scroll down to the output box and click Download


6. On the page that just opened press CTR+A to select all and copy (CTR+C or right-click copy)

7. Paste it in a new Notepad++ document. You should now have code formatted like so:

Code: [Select]

#first_thing {
float:left;
background-color:#fff;
width:100%;
}

#first_thing .class {
height:5px;
list-style:none;
display:inline;
}

.help_topic_div {
display:inline-block;
color:#000;
}

.header_bar_two {
clear:both;
border:none;
background:transparent url(../images/bg-scrollbar-end.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
height:100%;
width:13px;
position:relative;
padding:0 1px;
}

8. NOTE: If you want your brackets how they currently are, skip to Step 13
Now we need to get the opening brackets ({) on the next line.
Press CTR+H to get up the Find and Replace menu


9. Check the Extended check box in the the Search mode area.


10. Enter in "{" in the Find what field.

11. Enter "\n{" in the Replace with field.

12. Press Replace All


NOTE:: If you followed the steps all so far then you should have code formated as so:

Code: [Select]

#first_thing
{
float:left;
background-color:#fff;
width:100%;
}

#first_thing .class
{
height:5px;
list-style:none;
display:inline;
}

.help_topic_div
{
display:inline-block;
color:#000;
}

.header_bar_two
{
clear:both;
border:none;
background:transparent url(../images/bg-scrollbar-end.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
height:100%;
width:13px;
position:relative;
padding:0 1px;
}


13. Now it is time to indent all of the css declarations.
Press CTR+H to get up the Find and Replace menu

14. Check the Regular Expression check box in the the Search mode area.


15. Enter in "(.*);" in the Find what field.

16. Enter "\t\1;" in the Replace with field.

17. Press Replace All


Here is the result::

Code: [Select]

#first_thing
{
float:left;
background-color:#fff;
width:100%;
}

#first_thing .class
{
height:5px;
list-style:none;
display:inline;
}

.help_topic_div
{
display:inline-block;
color:#000;
}

.header_bar_two
{
clear:both;
border:none;
background:transparent url(../images/bg-scrollbar-end.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
height:100%;
width:13px;
position:relative;
padding:0 1px;
}

18. All we have left now is to space the property from the value!
Get up the Find and Replace menu CTR+H

19. Enter in ":" in the Find what field.

20. Enter ": " in the Replace with field.

21. Press Replace All

Code: [Select]

Here is your final nice  format:

Code: [Select]

#first_thing
{
float: left;
background-color: #fff;
width: 100%;
}

#first_thing .class
{
height: 5px;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
}

.help_topic_div
{
display: inline-block;
color: #000;
}

.header_bar_two
{
clear: both;
border: none;
background: transparent url(../images/bg-scrollbar-end.png) no-repeat 0 100%;
height: 100%;
width: 13px;
position: relative;
padding: 0 1px;
}


It works.Thank you MLM.

No problem 


@agent47 send me a message any time... I added you and i am checking every once in a while for you...

Sure thing buddy.
Afterall me running your theme is mainly gonna benefit you as it puts VP on the top of Google and makes your site more popular. So the wait is worth it buddy. I'd do anything to make your site popular because you're doing a spectacular job buddy.

I need to talk to you more. I need some files and further info.

Message me on AIM or download and install it.

my AIM: mlm@visualpulse.net

Agent. I can make it rc3. Give me some time.

Right now I am working on the new VP theme and doing some other dev.

Here's a response from them:

call_integration_hook wasn't introduced until 2.0 RC4 and so it can't be used on 2.0 RC3, simple as that.

Ask them where it is used.

@agent47

Well, I don't know what needs to change, it should work but please ask how themes have changed from rc3 to rc5 on the SMF Coding section.

It works for rc4 and was coded for that but in the middle of dev rc5 came out so i just changed the theme_info.xml and it worked fine..

@dash123

NO DROP DOWN MENU
Tell me if this works: (back up your file)
http://www.mediafire.com/?c75mt4xu71qzhqc

My theme doesn't use it at all and didn't put it there....

Sorry but have no idea at this point.. Try just removing the file? I think it does something though. One of your mods may have messed it up...

That's didn't seem to be the issue sir. Still getting the same error?

umm  it is not my theme giving you that error.

It is some file you put in the default theme folder called Compat.template.php


BUT ----------------

I think you forgot a '

FIND: (the last </div>)

Code: [Select]

     </div>;
}

REPLACE:

Code: [Select]

     </div>';
}


Ummm not sure what you did but just...

• Download the theme...
• Unzip
• Edit the theme_info.xml as the following.

FIND:
[/list]

Code: [Select]

<version>2.0 RC5</version>
REPLACE:

Code: [Select]

<version>2.0 RC3</version>

• Zip it back up (the same way). DO NOT PUT IT ALL IN A FOLDER AND ZIP THAT!
• Install the theme just like how you would any way else.
