Forum

Riiight....

I was wondering how I would go about changing the default page layout for the forums. I know it would be based off code, but where should I look? Thank you.

Forum layout can be found in views/forum.xslt.

I'm so sorry, I know I didn't ask the right question. I mean how do I remover/modify "this" from the forum section?

"this" > Lorum ipsum (0)
"this" > Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer a purus velit, et porttitor diam.
"this" > Sed posuere (0)
"this" > Sed posuere, mauris nec pharetra pulvinar, nunc purus venenatis sapien, bibendum tempor sem.

I saw the forum.xslt file last night, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

The forum posts can be maintained via the forum administration tool. The forum categories (what you see when you visit /forum) cannot yet be maintained via a web interface. You have to manually edit the forum table in the MySQL database via, for example, phpMyAdmin. Future versions of Banshee will have better forum administration tools.

Oh okay, thank you. Would that be the same for changing the theme also? The only way I would know how to do so, would be to run ./database/setup_database after editing the ../settings/website.conf

Running setup_database for an already installed instance won't work. Changing the theme goes via the set_layout() function in the output class. In every controller, the output object is available as $this->output.

So running setup_database for a new site, which would create a new database&user. Would work, correct?
I decided to test it out and these are the errors I'm getting.

<quote>XSLTProcessor::importStylesheet(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/var/www/pp_us/views/includes/banshee.xslt" in /var/www/pp_us/libraries/xml.php on line 259.

XSL Transformation error

I'm sure that I am doing something wrong, but just to make sure. I am wanting to us "layout_unembellished"

I can't POST/show you my banshee.xslt file, it tells me "Message seen as Spam" but it does include this.

"functions.xslt" / >
layout_compromise.xslt" />
layout_unembellished.xslt" />

="layout_compromise" />
="layout_unembellished" />

I apologize about the double post.

About your first post: I have no idea what you did. But those errors shouldn't appear if you follow the installation documentation.

About your second post: the banshee.xslt is oke. In the controller of a module you want to layout of, add the following line to the execute() function:

$this->output->set_layout("layout_unembellished");

This is the only installation doc i see for themes. "To install the themes, download the theme package and unzip it in the root directory of a Banshee website. This will overwrite the file views/includes/banshee.xslt."

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Thank you, I now understand how to apply a new theme.

I have applied a new theme and now I have run into another issue. By visiting my site you can see what I mean. How and what would I edit, to fix the layout? So there isn't an overlap on the left and right side bars?

There is a conflict in the tag classes. What you should do is this:

1) edit views/includes/layout_condition.xslt and change class="content" to class="page" on line 51.
2) edit public/css/includes/layout_condition.css and change div.content to div.page on line128.

I've fixed the themes.tar.gz. You could also re-download it and unpack it again.
