RAWR-Template-0.0.2 BETA

[TSG]

Edit the [error-page] section, make a note of the changes, I am going to release a new build as soon as the new syntax is sorted.

[ladiko]

if you edit my file name, you also have to edit the css files to change rawr_darker to user_darker :p

[TSG]

Ye sorry, I forgot lol.

Can someone please explain to me how to import my language files using the new load thing, cause I cannot get it to work. I need to figure that out before release. I am also waiting for the new syntax to be released in a build, then i will release 3.0.0.

One final thing, i am trying to make an if from a string var... it goes as follows.
{{if|{{ {{!box-id}} > 1 }} | Show the Shoutbox. }} The box-id is always a number, so i figure if i make a check to see if the number is there i can have the shoutbox hidden until the user has a box-id. But it doesn't seem to work for me.

[Unknown8063]

Can you check for string length instead (a number has a length greater than 0) - unless you are initializing the box-id to 0 that should work

[TSG]

AHA! yes i forgot about that one. I have it working. I assume all www.myshoutbox.com box-id's are 6 digits. So i have done this.

{{if|{{{{length|{{!box-id}}}}>5}}| Shoutbox Code }}

All you have to do is enter your box id under the theme variable in the [special:strings] section and the shoutbox should be set up and ready to go 

Side note, can't wait for the new syntax, my macros will be so much easier to see.

Language files are now importing, it is bugged tho on other pages other than the main atm.


New theme, rawr_black! I got bored on my Australia Day evening People wanted a black theme, so here it is!
(Packaged with 3.0.0 which is in bug testing)

That black template is quite nice! In an earlier post you were talking about hiding the shoutbox area until the user put an ID number into the code, I think that is a great idea; you should also impliment this into the update procedure. Just make the box hidden and when ever the template is access from localhost/127.0.0.1 get it to check for updates, if there are no updates then nothing happens, if there are updates make the update box appear in the same area it is in now and tell the user there is an update available.

I'm not sure about whether or not it is possible, but it would be a nice feature to have.

[ladiko]

uhh that's great, i love it! i can't wait :-)

[TSG]

Metal what you are saying is a little over the top, It requires the template to check with our server every time you open a page in localhost. The check updates only appears for the internal network with a macro since 0.0.1.

I added something to the background to enhance it. It is a pity the HFS icons are a bit on the off side, cause all my operating system icons and application icons look perfect. rejetto, what are these icons, are they hosted in windows, or are they embedded in HFS, if they are embedded in HFS, you could probably clean them up with an image editor? If you can clean them up i'll help with it.

[ladiko]

i tried to find these icons in hfs.exe with resource hacker, but they seems to be somewhere else, but i also tried to find them in vista's shell32.dll, but there are - like in the explorer - only these vista-like plumb folder icons:


best thing would be something like:
~img_folder_1 for  8bit, 16x16pxl
~img_folder_2 for 16bit, 16x16pxl
~img_folder_3 for 32bit, 16x16pxl
~img_folder_4 for 16bit, 32x32pxl
~img_folder_4 for 32bit, 32x32pxl
etc. but maybe this is too difficult.

[TSG]

Ye I really wish to upgrade the icon system of HFS but i don't know where hfs is sourcing them from, in linux none of them exist, so they are obviously coming from the OS. I am really trying to avoid making an icon library for the template in each theme, cause its a pain in the ass. If the icons weren't so jagged with the white pixels and were normal like the application icons it would be fine. I often wonder why it would be so hard to have different sizes of icons, cause a .ico file contains all the different sizes, would just be a matter of figuring out how to get HFS to trigger the right resolution icon.

[rejetto]

i didn't address the problem recently

[ladiko]

sorry rejetto, i dont understand your answer. do you mean that it doesnt have a high priority for you?

[TSG]

Just thought I would post an update before I sleep tonight. So far we have successful English(default), German, French, Dutch and Italian language translations set up with the language file system. I am after Russian, Spanish and Chinese translations. Someone did Chinese and Spanish for previous builds, if you are interested just got to http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=5524.30 and post your discussion.

The black theme is being tweaked for the ultimate effect, theme creators I would not use black a base for your theme, unless you know some css.

I have decided that theme creators can do whatever they like within the theme folder, simply restricted to images and css. Please don't kill the overall effect of the template, the theme wont be chosen if you do One final thing, rawr_blue can also be accessed through rawr_default, I made this for no particular reason, other than simply to provide the terminology for someone seeking the default theme.

What else... thats about it really. I will not release 0.0.3 till the new macro syntax is released, and the special:strings file loading is working with all page sections. So probably next HFS build.

I would like Russian, Spanish and Chinese translations (or any other) before i release. I only know one Russian person that does translations 'Comrade Elisey' but he disappeared after I helped him translate a program.... I have sent emails to possible spanish and chinese translators.

Goodnight.

sorry rejetto, i dont understand your answer. do you mean that it doesnt have a high priority for you?

no, it means i didn't work on this thing lately, because i worked on other things (that are the things you can read in the what's new of 2.3 betas)
