ModernBB: A new forum version for Forumotion forums

[The Godfather]

First topic message reminder :

Dear users,

In order to improve our services, Forumotion is pleased to offer you a new forums version to ensure a better user experience. This new version, which we have called ModernBB, is added to the 4 Forumotion forums versions already available (phpBB2, phpBB3, punBB and inVision) to constitute the 5th version available for your forums

It's accessible from your administration panel > Display > Skins > Choose a theme > Version > ModernBB.



ModernBB brings to your forums a more refined and aerial design with new innovations : New design, full-width banner, sticky navigation bar, retractable sections, ... Etc.

Another novelty will also be available exclusively on this template. It's the possibility for the admin to choose the forum version which will appears on mobile browsers (Web version of the forum or it's mobile version).

This choice is available for forums who defined ModernBB as the base version of the forum in the administration panel > Display > Templates > Mobile Version> Mobile configuration :



Without saying too much, I let you discover all the potential that ModernBB offers to your forums by yourself ...

Hopefully this new Forumotion forums version will bring you full satisfaction!

The Forumotion team

Notes:

1. Note that the ModernBB version is still in BETA phase. Although it has already passed our tests, it's not a definitive production version. It may contain some visual or functional bugs. So please help us to highlight any residual bugs.
   
   
2. Note that the ModernBB version does not yet give you access to it's templates edition. Only mobile version templates remains accessible at the moment. This will allow us to optimize and correct the possible problems faster.

I was talking about the avatars in visitor messages.

Code:

.statistics-item {
    color:  YOUR COLOR;
}

[Charisma Clash]

That only seemed to effect the text. I meant like the bars of the footer

Hi! i Need code for ModernBB

Code:

// JScript
// Similar topics
// PHPBB3
$(function() {
   var iAmount = 5;
   // It is important to know that some people write wrong and often do not accentuate the letters,
   // then search for words without the accent is much better!
   // Not to mention that the title will be functional in all versions!!!
   var aTitle = location.pathname.replace(/-/g, ' +').split(' ').slice(1);
   var sTitle = '';
   http://console.log(1, aTitle);
   // Important: delete words containing less than 4 characters to search!
   // With this we avoid searching for words like: one, and, of ...
   jQuery.each(aTitle, function(index, data) {
      if (data.length > 4) {
         sTitle += data;
      }
   });
   sTitle = sTitle.substr(1);
   http://console.log(2, sTitle);
 
   // Tested in PHPBB3 version!
   var memDiv = jQuery('<div>');
   memDiv.load('/search?search_keywords=' + sTitle + ' .forabg', function() {
      memDiv.find('dt').text('Similar Topics');
      var oTopics = memDiv.find('.topiclist > .row');
      oTopics[0].remove();
      oTopics.slice(iAmount + 1, oTopics.length).remove();
      if (oTopics.length) {
         memDiv.insertAfter('.topic-actions:last');
      }
   });
});

Hi, Is there any way of resolving the issue on large italics i posted previously?
Also, members that use Internet Explorer are experiencing issues with the top scroll bar, which blocks out a lot of the posts. Is there a code that can resolve this? Its only members who use IE.



I would really appreciate it if you could advise me on these issues, thank you

[SLGray]

That only seemed to effect the text. I meant like the bars of the footer 

This will only affect the symbol and bars:

Code:

.footerbar-system .rightside {
  color: YOUR COLOR;
}

[tillytiger99]

Now its messed up in firefox! I really need some help here please.

[tillytiger99]

So I disabled the SSL certificate and it went back to normal, for me, but some members still have the issue of the big grey bar. It may well be the SSL certicate, so I shall post in the support forum that issue. It probably isnt a modernbb issue.

[tillytiger99]

Good morning. I disabled the SSL certificate, but the original issue of the grey toolbar covering the posts is still an issue in Internet explorer. Is there any support for this? Or am I posting in the wrong section. Please advise, or I will have to remove the template! Thank you

[SarkZKalie]

Uninstall IE or tell them to use another browers, Chrome or Firefox instead. Or you mean Edge?

[tillytiger99]

yes, i mean IE. I have asked members to use another browser but that means sending out a newsletter to 4000 members, which isnt good and may discourage members from visiting. I read somewhere about some code needed to be added for IE to display it properly, but im clueless, lol

[Charisma Clash]

Has anyone been able to successfully bold a post on ModernBB? Not looking at previous posts but like a new 1? I've noticed I haven't been able to bold text at all   

Got rid of Javascript codes and CSS codes and it still happened.

[SLGray]

[Charisma Clash]

How it appears when I test it. Even when I use the simple editor to view the tags it appears but doesn't actually post it.

[SLGray]

Try just using the bold tags on just two words in that sentence.

[Charisma Clash]

Didn't work.

Edit - Just noticed it appeard bold on my phone though. Still won't work on desktop.

Edit 2 - What's really weird is when I add a CSS code to just make all the text bold on the site, the stuff that I actually bolded in a post beforehand just stays normal. 



"This text" is the two words that I bolded myself. It's like the opposite happens.

---

Final Edit - So, I inspected the elements and I discovered for some reason bold was being translated to 

Code:

b, strong {
    font-weight: 500;
}

For some strange reason. So I copied and pasted that and put it in my CSS to transform "500" into "700" which fixes the whole bold issue. Weird.

[tillytiger99]

So I have had another group of members complain that edge has the scrolling bar covering the posts. Surely this should be able to be viewed in others except for firefox and chrome! I need help with this please and no one seems to be answering this. If you cant help, please say so and ill know I have to remove this theme.

[SLGray]

Where did you see where it says that you need to add something for IE?

Hello @tillytiger99,

As you know this new system is still in better mode and when each bug is gave to us we make a full report about it and then all the bugs get put in a list of things to be fixed.

Now some bugs are easy fixed with CSS files and other codes and come have to be done server side.
We take bugs very serious and the big ones are put on the list to do as soon as we can and other smaller ones then get put on the list to be done as soon as we get time.

Now this bug you have told us about is classed as a browser problem and our tech team will look at fixing this but we have lots of little things that will all be fixed in one go and this will be seen as one that will be fixed with all the other small bugs.

As this system is in beta mode there will be bugs that is why we put this out as beta mode.

We thank you for your report and we hope you understand we are doing our best to get this fixed when we can.

kind regards

APE and the team.

[tillytiger99]

Thank you for getting back to me, I appreciate that.
Unfortunately, the grey bar drops down so far, it covers half of the page, making the posts almost unreadable. I also had to remove the ssl certificate as that caused the same issue for all members, no matter what the browser used.
It does make the forum unreadable so I will have to remove the theme. I was prepared for bugs, but not of this nature.
If you could let me know when it is fixed, I can re-install, as it really is a beautiful theme.

[Ape]

You may be better off holding on until we come out of beta mode then as things can take time to get fixed.

[tillytiger99]

Yes, I think that might be a good idea. Thank you

[Manata]

I really like it!

First off, I wanna start with I love love love this new version. Its so sleek, and nice.

However, I noticed with the mobile being the only option with the current templates I cannot seem to install different fonts D: This hits me for a bug in the road as I'm attempting to make a customized skin.

The first issue is the reg. css won't allow for the regular ol'

Code:


@font-face {
    font-family: myFirstFont;
    src: url(sansation_light.woff);
}


Will this at some point be changed? Or is there something I'm missing?

Hello @NewFoundStories

As you may know this system is still in beta mode and will be in this mode for a little longer and we don't have any plans in giving templates out yet as we still have lots of things to change and fix.

As i see it we may not be out of beta mode for some time as there is more and more little things to be added and changed and it will just be a problem to let you as the member change lots of things just to say it Don't work when we do our updates to it to fix small things and add more things to it.

So there is really no point in giving you and the rest of you templates right now.

I think this will help you on your problem for now and we thank you for using this new cook system and we hope you will keep using it when its all out of beta mode.

kind regards

APE
