Hey guys. How to change forum width?

Hello!

In the flightdeck extension are options to choose between: Boxed (1200px) and fluid (95%) layout. Beyond this it’s no longer possible to define a custom width.

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Hello,

Would it be possible to have as sidebar the following options:

150px left sidebar and 150px right sidebar.

300px sidebar left and 300px sidebar right.

150px sidebar left and 300px sidebar right.

300px sidebar left and 150px sidebar right.

150px sidebar left and no sidebar right.

300px sidebar left and no sidebar right.

No sidebar left and 150px sidebar right.

No sidebar left and 300px sidebar right.

History of being able to choose our preference

thank you ^^

Hi!

Thanks for your question. Regrettably it’s not possible to change the sidebar widths. This is due to the complexity of the layout and its integration with our responsive framework + other customisable features.

Sorry :(

I see that user mheeger had the same problem few days ago but the solution wasn’t posted. I can’t get the extension flightdeck to work with phpbb 3.2, it just doesn’t appear in the extension list, what would be the issue?

Hello! :)

The problem is that the FlightDeck extension wasn’t uploaded to the correct folder.

Ensure that flightdeck is uploaded to: phpBB/ext/planetstyles/flightdeck/ . A common mistake is uploading the flightdeck folder into /ext/ or /ext/phpBB/ . It should be located inside the /planetstyles/ folder :)

Let us know if you continue to have any problems!

Ah right, I get it now. I had to create the planetstyle folder, I was confused because the folder wasn’t provided within the theme 3.2 version and thought that planetstyle folder was just for the 3.1. Cheers for your help, works now!

Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you’re all set now :)

Hi! I’m thinking of purchasing your theme, but I had a few questions before I pulled the trigger. My site uses Canvas as a theme, which I got from here, but apparently the developer deleted the theme right around 3.2 came out, and now I’m not sure if there’s going to be any updates there, so I’m looking ahead to alternatives, and your theme is refreshingly modern. My questions, then.

These are the extensions I currently use: http://imgur.com/u1FB0xC

A lot of those won’t have a problem since they can coexist fine with Prosilver, but to your knowledge, do any of them NOT work with your theme? In particular, I wanted to ask about the Thanks for Posts extension, which in my current theme worked in principle, but I needed additional coding to get the actual Thumbs Up/Thanks button to show up.

Can the sidebar be present only in the main forum index, as opposed to every page? There’s a simple option in my current theme to get it to show up in Index/Main Forum Page/Topic Page, and I just select from that.

The different preset colors, are those easily available on the settings end, just pick the one I want and press SAVE and it shows up, or do I have to add code for each one each time I wish to change the color presets?

Are the settings available via the main forum page as an extension, or through ACP?

I can’t think of another question right now, but it’s already long enough. I appreciate you getting back to me whenever you can on any of this. Thanks in advance.

Hi again :)

Here are the results of our extension testing based on your list:

ACP Style (not style specific) Add User (not style specific) Tapatalk (Not style specific)

(N) Slickpanel – Custom extension for Canvas Theme (N) Coreframe Appears to be an extension dedicated to the Eles Theme. (N) Thanks for posts (extension not updated for 3.2 yet). Installs but is buggy and returns error messages.

(Y) Advanced Polls – http://envato.d.pr/LeVh/1faDupgv, http://envato.d.pr/qjd0/32HTSKaS

(Y) Board Rules – http://envato.d.pr/v7Qe/4yWMfDfr, http://envato.d.pr/v7Qe/4yWMfDfr (Note: phpBB declare it isn’t officially compatible with 3.2, but it installs and works. If you commit to purchasing, we can help with replacing the menu link icon to FontAwesome. Also we can probably help to make the rules page sidebar prettier.

(Y) External links open in new window

(Y) Joined Date format – http://envato.d.pr/poqY/3rfDZg4B

(Y) mChat – http://envato.d.pr/kvNC/5d3Bb54B

(Y) Obscrure contact us – http://envato.d.pr/10OHC/5usNXZeg (not declared as compatible with phpBB 3.2 and is a little gammy to install, but works)

(Y) Pages – http://envato.d.pr/FR5x/1AeONMJj (As above, not officially supported on 3.2 but installs. Customisation would ne necessary to support FontAwesome icon on menu).

(Y) Countdown – http://envato.d.pr/h9DC/r6wBtq7S (Works, but the custom CSS in extension conflicts with Milk, so a few tweaks necessary)

(Y) phpBB Age Users – http://envato.d.pr/M0wm/4ilTWdzp

(Y) s9e Mediaembed – http://envato.d.pr/3HKV/4FF7eJl8

(Y) Top Poster of the Month – http://envato.d.pr/gAqu/1cpn0WqB

(Y) Username colour changer – http://envato.d.pr/WYtl/4MKbfM49

That was incredibly detailed and explained. Far above and beyond what I expected. Thank you very much for your help. I will purchase your theme this weekend.

You’re more than welcome. Thanks for your support :)

I’m interested to this theme. The sidebar with ads can be shown on all forum pages? I mean fixed..

Hi! Thanks for your message :)

Yes the sidebars are shown on all forum Oates and are a fixed width :)

Hi, thanks for this beautiful theme, I have a problem to install the flight deck extention! I uploaded it to the right folder, but it isnt displayed yet… do you have any answer to fix it?

Regards

Hello! Just confirming that we were able to resolve this with you in your support ticket. Let us know if you have any other problems :)

hello, I cant add social icons can you help ?

Hi there!

Sorry to hear about this :( . Would you be able to send us a ticket through: https://themeforest.net/item/milk-multipurpose-responsive-phpbb-31-theme/16119149/support and let us know which version of the style and flightdeck extension you’re using?

Thanks! :)

Hi again, I tried to download the 2.01 hot fix but is it possible that it’s not on here yet? It’s identical in file size to the previous version and.. didn’t fix the issue with the notification, pm correctly overlapping main wrapper.

Yes there was an issue on ThemeForests end with the upload. We’ve resubmitted and are awaiting approval again :)

Thanks for your hard work! The forum is now better then ever. (aside from showing avatars as square and not round anymore.. but that must an extension issue) Love it! :)

I see that unfortunately we still can not choose the background color of the forumlist for the moment only the light function is available but when a dark function, is this planned in a future release?

On the other hand your integration GRID is just terribly efficient, congratulations!

Hi again!

Thanks for the kind words regarding the grid, we’re really happy that you love it as much as we do :)

As for the dark skin it’s true that this didn’t make it into the fully supported 3.2 release, but is near the top of our priority list for the next release. We hold ourselves to extremely high standards and want to make sure everything works properly before implementing, in this case, as well as creating a beautifully balanced palette, we’d need to ensure the colour scheme complimented all flightdeck settings – which is quite a big job!

But we definitely consider it one of the most important things to roll out in the next feature release. I would like to think this will be done in the next 6-8 weeks :)

Thanks again for all your support!

For the GRID system would it be possible to add to your todolist an alternative version similar to google play with the idea of card.

Certainly not out of the question :)

In your documentation it does not show the optimal header image sizes. What are the optimum header sizes?

Hello!

Thanks for your question, and your support of the Milk Theme.

That’s a great question, the answer entirely depends on whether you’re using a fluid / boxed layout, have parallax enabled, and whether you’re using a background that repeats or want to use one large image.

If you can let us know how you’ve got your forum configured, we can recommend some tips for your header image.

Thanks! :)

Wow, Milk 3.2 is fantastic! :-) But the Ext. “Page” works not: Unable to find template “pages_default.html” (looked into: phpBB3/styles/Milk_v2/template, /hp/bd/ac/nz/www/phpBB3/styles/Milk_v2/theme).

Is it possible to combinate List+Grid Forum Display?

Unable to find template “mchat_body.html” (looked into:/www/phpBB3/ext/dmzx/mchat/styles/all/template, /hp/bd/ac/nz/www/phpBB3/styles/Milk_v2/template, /hp/bd/ac/nz/www/phpBB3/styles/Milk_v2/theme).

Same with mChat

Hello!

In ACP -> Customise -> Milk -> Details, if you set “Inherits from” to “Prosilver”, then purge cache, the extensions will load correctly.

We’ll make sure this is set to prosilver by default in the next update :)

Hello,

Could you add support for the following extension “Recent Topics” in your sidebar?

Please, thank you

Hi there!

Can you provide a link to the exact extension you’d like us to support?

We’ll be happy to add this to our backlog for the next release :)

Thanks!

https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/recent_topics_2/

Once the extension activated what would be good is to be able to have an option in the sidebar via flightdeck to integrate it correctly.

Besides if you could add the same possibility that this extension below in addition it would be great :)

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=501&t=2218556

Thank you for your work: D

Ah! We actually tried integrating this extension into the footer by default, but due to the way the extension is coded it only shows them on the index page. So even if we integrated in the sidebar they wouldn’t show beyond the index page, making our integration redundant over the default functionality of the extension :)

Any Chance to Release phpbb Version 3.2 today?

Hello!

Yes, we’re planning to upload v2 release to ThemeForest within the next 6-8 hours :)

Sorry to bother you but did you get my e-mail?

For the case you didn’t see it, we recently updated to 3.2 and now we get these error messages after making a post or a new thread. It doesn’t happen all the time but often enough. We disabled all extensions, didn’t help it.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\ServiceNotFoundException’ with message ‘You have requested a non-existent service “notification.method.board”...........

Also any word on when you roll out the 3.2 update? I could imagine its related to the theme not being updated to 3.2 with extended features yet.

Hi Tim!

Hmm, that error looks like it might be caused by something going wrong on your installation as opposed to the Milk Theme. Do the problems persist if you use Prosilver?

We are expecting to submit the fully supported 3.2 update today, which will mean it’s available through ThemeForest in the next 24-48 hours.

If you can email us through our support page though, we are happy to privately email you the 3.2 release tonight.

Thanks :)

Thank you good Sir! :) We will try to reinstall it later then and test it with ProSilver. Thanks for the offer with the email, I ll check here whenever it’s available.

How i can add top active users in right sidebars? And profile stats in sidebar?

Hi there!

That would require a custom extension :) . If you find one we can assist with implementing it into the theme if there are any compatibility problems.

Thanks!

What extension? I implement in flight deck extension yours sidebar html, and at content i put statistics, buy show incorect… look this: http://prnt.sc/dvd53x

Hi , i’m interested to buy this theme, can someone tell me if the Header Size can be changed and if the extension [Pre]Fixed works with the theme ? Thank you

Hi yozhi!

Thanks for your questions :)

1) Yep, the header size can be changed. Simply contact us with your requirements after purchasing and we’ll be happy to help!

2) Absolutely! Here is a preview of the prefixed extension running on the Milk Theme: http://envato.d.pr/VQcG/2k2epFjM

Let us know if you have any more questions :)

Already bought it , going to install and later i will pm you , ok ?

No problem at all. We look forward to your email :)

Hi, how can i add new buttons, like facebook-icon, thumbs-up-icon, etc.?

Hello!

Your best option would be to check phpBB.com for an extension that achieves this. Beyond the social links in the footer the Milk Theme doesn’t have any custom social interactions.

Thanks!

Hello Planetstyles, very happy with my forum. I got a question though.. a couple of people asked me already if they can change the board style. I couldn’t find a solution to that, it would be super sweet if they were able to change it to all the nice predefined styles that the Milk Theme comes with but right now I only see “Milks” and “Silver” in the board settings: http://i.imgur.com/vH15qLZ.png

Would you have any idea what I can do about that? Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim!

It doesn’t look like I can access that screenshot. However it’s not possible for your members to pick their own colour scheme. The colour scheme is set by the board Administrator in the FlightDeck extension, that style is then displayed to all end users :)

The Buttons are not Working on 3.2. Any idea when you Update the Theme?

I mean the Text Editor Buttons

Hi, thanks for raising this!

We’re on track to submit our 3.2 update prior to the end of this week. Final release time will be subject to ThemeForest approval times :)

Hi.Nice theme. I would like to buy it but first can you please tell me how exactly the control panel works? i mean can i upload the image for the header and logo directly from there on my server or how? if so what type of image and whats the maximum size that i can upload?

Hi Roxy!

Thanks for your question :) . Here is a screenshot of the ACP logo option: http://envato.d.pr/KAM5/4ZMPy5Ka , also further configuration settings: http://envato.d.pr/lJOi/HCGrf5mk .

TO answer your questions specifically though:

1) Yes, the logo is uploaded directly from the ACP, then stored in your forum’s filesystem. 2) The control panel will accept any image format. The size can be quite difficult to give an exact answer, we recommend choosing a very large image and then enabling the ‘stretch’ option in the control panel so that the header scales according to your members’ device.

Happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

Thanks!
