Do Free Styles INCLUDE All Graphics Elements for That Style?

Hello Peggy,

I just uploaded both your Country Comfort and your Kissing the Face of God styles. To my surprise a bunch of the graphics files where "hot linked" to your website for some reason. When I repathed them to my own site, the files were not found.

I can only assume that is because you do not provide ALL of the graphics files with your free download packages on here? Is that assumption correct? If so, why is that?

I want to use this for some offline presentations and without all of the files on my local machine, I won't be able to use your templates.

Please just confirm if I'm right, or if I did something wrong, or what??? I haven't seen this situation with any other styles that I've received from other designers.

Thanks.
Jeff

No, that is not correct. ALL of the images for every theme I provide, are in the zip files, whether free or custom.

You had to have done something wrong when editing the image paths.

Also thank you for alerting me to the incorrect paths in the xml files. I'll have to correct that.

Your own image path should be
images/godsface/buttons

images/godsface/misc

images/godsface/statusicon

and so forth. Same paths for country comfort (replacing godsface with cc).

I just looked in the country comfort xml file and the image paths are correct there. However, I'm attaching a new xml file for Kissing the face of God, and Country Comfort here.

Hello Peggy, thanks for getting back to me. I'll have to figure out what is going on then. I wonder if the issue has something to do with the fact that I'm running 3.6.7 instead of 3.6.8?

Maybe there are some minor incompatibility issues??

When I saw all of the hot-linked images I just figured that was it. Apparently that was two separate issues.

Here are a couple links to my site, if you want to see what I'm talking about:

Kissing the Face of God (http://nashvillechristian.com/forums/index.php?styleid=9)

Country Comfort (http://nashvillechristian.com/forums/index.php?styleid=8)

If you have any idea what is causing this, please clue me in.

Thanks!
Jeff

I just looked. OK you didn't tell me that you were using vBadvanced. That's a whole nuther issue. Do you have the entire path to your forum in the image paths in style vars and Main CSS? or do you just have images/cc/buttons in the forum paths?

Anytime you use vBa CMPS, you have to use the entire path to your forum.

Hello Peggy,

I have the whole path. That was how I noticed that some images were hot-linked, because I had to go in and manually path a bunch of the images.

But I'm having the same issues on my Forum page, so I don't think that it is due to the vBadvanced integration.

Any ideas?

I really think it may be a compatiblitiy issue with the version discrepency.

???

Thanks.
Jeff

Noone else has mentioned this problem to me at all. I have members using 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 forums with the 3.6.8 version of the style with no problem at all. I'm completely stumped to be honest.

If you want to, you can provide me with acp and ftp access and I can take a look.

Hello Peggy,

I'll play with it some more and see if I can figure it out. It seems to be the same recuring elements. I've got to go out of town for a few days, but if I can't figure it out I may take you up on your offer.

Thanks for your time and the help!

I looked at your css for CC and noticed the following wich are causing your issues.
Go to admincp Styles/Thesm and open the Country Confort main css
look for

.tfoot
{
background: #DBD5C9 url(nashvillechristian.com/forums/images/godsface/misc/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left;
color: #ffffff;
}

replace with

.tfoot
{
background: #DBD5C9 url(http://nashvillechristian.com/forums/images/godsface/misc/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left;
color: #ffffff;
}

Find:

.vbmenu_control
{
background: #DBD5C9 url(nashvillechristian.com/forums/images/godsface/misc/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left;
color: #FFFFFF;
font: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
padding: 3px 6px 3px 6px;
white-space: nowrap;

replace with

.vbmenu_control
{
background: #DBD5C9 url(http://nashvillechristian.com/forums/images/godsface/misc/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left;
color: #FFFFFF;
font: bold 11px tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
padding: 3px 6px 3px 6px;
white-space: nowrap;
}

this should fix it
