Portal not looking right with prosilver se

Your Portal Version: 1.0.0RC3
Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3
MODs installed: Yes
Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge
Boardlink: http://fnolan.nolansoft.com/form

PHP Version: 3.0.7-PL1

What have you done before the problem was there?
Nothing, was there since installing Board3

What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
Looked through these forums and tried replacing the _block_config.html with the one Mike made but didn't change anything. And I did refresh the cache for the style and forum.

Description and Message
I installed Board3 in to my Prosilver SE style but it doesn't look right.

Here's the sample page from Mikes install . . .

Mine looks like this . . .

Any ideas what is wrong ? Did I miss an edit or edited a file wrong ? I've tried to find the problem but can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
You must have root / styles / prosilver_se / template / portal / _block_config.html change.

Thanks for the quick reply but as stated in my original post I alreday tried that. I replaced the file that came with the download with it.

I see very clearly that has not changed _block_config.html !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you also already did that?
Refresh your Styles:
"Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "Styles" > "Templates" > each > "refresh"
"Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "Styles" > "Themes" > each > "refresh"
"Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "Styles" > "Imagesets" > each > "refresh"

Clear your cache in the "Administration Control Panel" (ACP) > "General" > "Purge the cache"

I copied the code and created a file called _block_config_html and uploaded it to the folder. I don't know what you are looking at to see that it hasn't been changed. I'll try reuploading it and see what happens.

Ok, apparently I uploaded it to the wrong portal folder, I put it in the correct one and it does now match the theme. But it isn't sized right, I assume I need to make the center blocks smaller in width.

Remove once the commercial break, which seems not to fit there.
Look here: knowledge/kb_show.php?id=51

Thanks for your help, I'm not sure what you mean by "commercial break", which file am I looking at to remove this commercial break ?

The block under the header: "Advertisement"
Construction times to test the original overall_header.html again and you will see what I mean.
EDIT:
Remove, as a test, this code from the overall_header.html:

Code: Select all

     <!-- IF ADS_2 -->
    <br />
    <div class="forabg">
        <div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"></span>
            <ul class="topiclist">
                <li class="header">
                    <dl class="icon">
                        <dt>{L_ADVERTISEMENT}</dt>
                    </dl>
                </li>
            </ul>
            <div style="padding: 5px 5px 2px 5px; font-size: 1.1em; background-color: #ECF1F3; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center;">
                <br/>{ADS_2}<br/>
            </div>
        <span class="corners-bottom"></span></div>
    </div>
    <!-- ENDIF -->       
For I believe it is the cause.

Removed said code but it didn't help, here's an image of the site after removing the code . . .

Could it be something in the CSS file ?

Construction to the original (clean) overall_header.html and the overall_footer.html again. If the error still exists, then your entries in the ACP -> Portal Settings -> "welcome settings", remove, and remove entries in your "custom block settings for the center block".
Sorry for my bad english.

You didn't edit overall_header.html correctly. You were supposed to put an <!-- ENDIF --> after this:

Code: Select all

                            <li class="icon-logout"><a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" title="{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" accesskey="x">{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</a></li>
                        <!-- ENDIF -->
                    </ul>

        
                    <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
                </div>
But, you put if after this:

Code: Select all

                            <li class="icon-logout"><a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" title="{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" accesskey="x">{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</a></li>

Thanks archiver and Marc. I tried to set my overall_header.html back to a fresh version but apparently used a bad copy. Now my site doesn't even come up.

Shows an error in the file - "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /var/www/fnolan/form/cache/tpl_prosilver-se_overall_header.html.php on line 160"

Can't get in to refresh the cache so I guess I'm going to have to wait until it times itself out and refreshes on it's own. I'm going away for the weekend so wont have a lot of time to play with it.

EDIT: Thank You Marc, that did the trick ! Looks fine now ! :D

The error still exists, then your entries in the ACP -> Portal Settings -> change in your "custom block settings for the center block" that:
search:

Code: Select all

/SagArtGiveaways.jpg" border="0" />
replace:

Code: Select all

/SagArtGiveaways.jpg" border="0" style="margin-top: height: 200px; width: 350px;" />
And then you still remove the "." from the portal_left.html who stands at the beginning:
.<!--version $Id: portal_left.html 591 2009-12-11 23:48:49Z marc1706 $ //-->
