Using ressource kit for themes

Dear support,

 

in our SBS I've just downloaded the ressource kit to amend the theme in SBS. In the standard-kit I just replace 2 png. After uploading it, all icons fade away. After setting the theme back to standard all icons were back in place.

 

It seems that the ressource kit is from clearspace. Pls provide us with the SBS-kit.

 

Thankyou for your assistance!

 

Yours

Volker

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Volker,

 

I just tested this theme locally and it worked just fine.  Can you send me a screenshot of the issue you are seeing?  Is this happening in just some browsers?  Also - does a 'hard refresh' for your browser (mostly cntrl-r or f5) fix the issue?

 

Thank you,

 

Curtis

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Curtis,

 

yes, thanks: This fixed the issue. But now a new problem came up: The jive-logo is in our theme.

 

  1. Jive seems to prefer a logo in front of a background, but we cannot bring or logo in a pnp because it looks bad ...
  2. I tried to delete the file "jive-hdr-logo.png", altered it to total transparent and partly transparent, make it 1px high ... but all doesn't work.
  3. Best would be to have just a 100% transparent logo, so that it is clickable.
  4. If this isn't possible, than we would prefer no logo ... just the background image ("inkluding our logo").

 

Looking foreward to your advice.

 

Thanks

Volker

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Volker,

 

Sounds like what you are looking for could be accomplished by using a transparent PNG in our built in theme functionality here:  http://www.jivesoftware.com/builds/docs/jive_sbs_employee/latest/admin/BasicSiteCustomization.html

 

Or, if you want to fix your current theme, you can follow these directions to modify the custom-css.ftl and hide the current jive logo: http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/docs/DOC-3262

 

Probably need to add something like the following:

#jive-global-header .jive-header-logo {background-image:none;}

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Hi Curtis,

 

thanks for the info.

 

The easies way would be a transparent png. I tried to use several transparent files but it didn't work. Eighter the placeholder for missing file or a white field appeared. So could you please provide me with a transparent file that works?

 

To modify the css seems to be more complex because I have to start from zero.

 

Could you pls also check, why I do not get email when this case is altered? Other emails from jive i.e. "case pending close" I get.

 

Yours

Volker

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Volker,

 

You shouldn't need to start all the way over, here are screenshots of how to include my above code into your site.

 

Admin > System > Settings > themes

2009-08-27_1209.png

Create a new template into your current theme by selecting custom-css.ftl and creating it.

2009-08-27_1210.png

then go back and edit the custom-css.ftl

2009-08-27_1212.png

make your changes

2009-08-27_1211.png

 

Save, and you should be good to go (with the jive logo removed).

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Hi Curtis,

 

thanks ... but it didn't work:

1) After altering customs-css the logo is still there. I checked and crosscheck that my changes are in line with your advice.

2) When I just delete the background-logo-file the header is "1/5 high"

 

Pls advice ... thanks

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Volker,

 

Sorry about the delay, I must not have been testing against your theme directly.  I was able to move the image off the display with the following:

 

#jive-global-header img {top:-500px;}

 

Just place that in your custom-css.ftl to move the jive logo out of the picture.

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Also, you should be getting emails from these posts as well - do you get any from these?  You can check your junk mail as well as your profile here on the site to make sure that you do not have your email preferences turned off.

Re: Using ressource kit for themes

Curtis,

 

by the way: I do not get any email informing about your posting. I've checked, that in the case "email notice" is activated and that the email-adress in "my account" is o.k.

 

Yours

Volker
