Oh. Happy thanksgiving, Ronin.
I could be wrong, but I think bg_tabs1 and 2.gif control the tab colors in both active and inactive cases (respectively). ----- Edit 5 minutes later (gotta get better at reading): I see the nav bar color is what you're talking about. I've changed mine, but I can't remember where. I'll let you know if I run across it again. -----------------------
ALSO...
I notice your gallery script is renamed to gallery.php. Was there a lot of effort in finding the links to fix for that change?

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, chief!
Not trouble at all. I just opened every single php file in the gallery subfolder (not many, like 7 or something) and did a global find for "index". Also in includes/functions.php, changed the reference to index.php from gallery.php. Of course, I had to do this to do the tabs.
Yeah if you can find where that is to change the color of the navbar, that would be great.

Good morning, Ronin...
I went nuts looking for a LOT of changes I wanted to make, and ran across this little article:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 0#p5292445. Raimon has laid out a lot of handy color changes, including changing the color of the navbar.

Sorry for the interruption, moved topic to "General phpBB3 Support", as it fits better there.

Awesome - thanks, nova. That brings up a good knowledge base idea - showing where to change colors for all the components of phpBB.

Ive been trying to add the code so that the tabs would appear above my navbar.
But whenever i put the code between these lines
Code: Select all
<!-- IF not $S_IN_PORTAL or not S_DISPLAY_MAINMENU -->
<div class="navbar">
I end up getting an error when i try to load the portal page and even the index page.
Another thing i was wondering was how do i get the navbar to show up on the portal page as well?

I even tried editing the different instances pointed out by the.ronin and ended up with this code:
Code: Select all
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == 'portal.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="{U_PORTAL}"><span>{L_PORTAL}</span></a></li>
<li<!-- IF SCRIPT NAME == 'index.php' or SCRIPT_NAME == 'viewforum.php' or SCRIPT_NAME == 'viewtopic.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="{U_INDEX}"><span>{L_INDEX}</span></a></li>
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_SEARCH --><li<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == 'search.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="{U_SEARCH}" title="{L_SEARCH_ADV_EXPLAIN}"><span>{L_SEARCH}</span></a></li><!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_MEMBERLIST --><li<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == 'memberlist.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}" title="{L_MEMBERLIST_EXPLAIN}"><span>{L_MEMBERLIST}</span></a></li><!-- ENDIF -->
<li<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == 'faq.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="{U_FAQ}" title="{L_FAQ_EXPLAIN}"><span>{L_FAQ}</span></a></li>
<li<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == 'xxx.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="xxx.php" title="XXX"><span>XXX</span></a></li>
<li<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == 'yyy.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="yyy.php" title="YYY"><span>YYY</span></a></li>
<li<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == 'zzz.php' --> class="activetab"<!-- ENDIF -->><a href="zzz.php" title="ZZZ"><span>ZZZ</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Tried with that and it still didnt work. I even made sure that the code wasnt being wrapped by <!-- IF not $S_IN_PORTAL or not S_DISPLAY_MAINMENU --> but it still doesnt work. Would appreciate some help. I'm using the xabBlue theme if that helps.

Great tip, thanks for it! However, does anyone tried this mod with another style than just prosilver? I just tried it with Hermes and Getaway and as you may expect, it does not work. Instead of tabs I got a vertical list of links. I added all missing activetab classes to the theme css file. So now I have vertical list of links, but still no tabs. Any idea how to persuade the navigation tabs to appear in these styles? Thank you in advance!

OK, it seems these non-prosilver styles don't have/don't like tabs, so I will have to live with just line of separated text links. In fact, it does not look that bad.
