Do images scale with the theme? Are they responsive? Or when you post an image does it stay it’s original size and stretch the forum?

Is theme compatible with recent topic extension?

Hello :)

1) Yes images are compatible with the responsive layout, and will scale down to match the device resolution.

2) Yep, there are no problems running recent topics on the Milk Theme :)

Does it support RTL ?

Not at the moment :(

how could i do the RTL for this theme could you do it for me for extra?

If you’re familiar with CSS, the RTL layout is loaded in stylesheet bidi.css . You would need to tweak this to iron out any issues you may find :)

An RTL update is on our roadmap, but not for a few months at least :(

phpbb3.2 images not displaying inline. only getting [img]link.jpg[/img] posts. the images show in the editor prior to submitting. anyone else had this issue ?

Interesting, sounds like a problem with the core software itself. Can I ask if you’ve asked for help on phpBB.com regarding this?

Cheers :)

Yeah got a post goin over there. happens with pro silver too. i think it may be a setting in php database. just driving me nuts lol. Sigs have the same issue

Can you please provide a list of template files that were updated for 3.2.2?

Yep!

Modified files were:

- faq_body.html (added to v2.0.6)
- forumlist_body.html
- forumlist_grid.html
- index_body.html
- login_forum.html
- memberlist_view.html (added to v2.0.6)

Anyone know if i am doing something wrong to get this code to work in the sidebar. it keeps popping out of ACP upon submit because of an error i’d assume

<!- TradingView Widget BEGIN -> Cryptocurrency Market by TradingView <script src=”https://s3.tradingview.com/external-embedding/embed-widget-screener.js”>{ “width”: “100%”, “height”: “100%”, “defaultColumn”: “overview”, “screener_type”: “crypto_mkt”, “displayCurrency”: “USD”, “locale”: “en” }</script> <!- TradingView Widget END ->

No worries, we can help :)

So there are a few options, it depends which sidebar widgets you already have enabled (eg: If the search / profile widgets are enabled etc).

The easiest option would be to add it after the template variable that outputs the HTML code block #2 contents.

So, placing the iFrame code below this line would be a good start:

<!-- IF STYLE_SETTINGS_HTML_2 -->{STYLE_SETTINGS_HTML_2}<!-- ENDIF -->

Cheers :)

thanks for that. it worked. and then i realised it’s nicer with out the side bars :P sorry for being a time waster

Heh, well at least you know it works for the future if you change your mind :)

Great style Chris :)

Thank you! :)

Any update on your new theme release ?

End of this week :)

Hi, Chris, a newest version of phpBB is available… any compatibility issue with this version? I´m waiting for update. Bye

Hi :)

Thankfully the phpBB update is relatively small, in terms of style changes there are mostly very small visual changes and the addition of a few new events in template files that are used by extensions.

We’ve submitted our update to ThemeForest (which is now waiting for approval), but you can safely update to 3.2.2 and run the same version of the Milk Theme without seeing any issues :)

You’ll receive an email from ThemeForest when our update has been approved.

Hey PlanetStyles ist Milk2 compatible with Ajax Chat: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/ajax_chat/ ?

I haven’t tried it, mchat works well, but Ajax Chat is much better!

Hmm i have tested it now – and it works :) https://cryptoevo.de

But it is not on top? The recent topics kinda overrides oder jumps over it. MChat was on top, how could i change Ajax Chat that it is on Top like mChat? :)

Lovely Greetings,

I believe the output location is determined by whichever event hook the extension Author uses. If there aren’t any ACP settings to change the location, you’d need to ask the extension Author how to move it to a new location :)

Ok like you said there are settings.: https://i.imgur.com/tbY8zOP.png And and it is chosen top, but it is interfering with Latest Topics.

I’m trying to add Google Analytics to my forum and it says to paste code into the HEAD of every page. Obviously that isn’t possible on a forum. I tried adding it to /template/overall_header.html but it’s not working. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello! :)

Thanks for your message and support of the Milk Theme.

That’s definitely the right file to edit, the bottom of overall_footer.html is another popular location for analytics code.

After uploading the edited file, make sure to clear your browser cache (Ctrl+F5 or CMD+R) so that you see the new file :)

If you’re still having problems, feel free to ping us a message through the “Support” tab above.

Hey there! Looking at merlin.css file to try and get the LEFT side bar to be full size… pretty much the way the right side bar is now set up the right is a lot bigger when enabled.. how do I do the vice versa? I’ve been playing with #leftcolumn and making it the opposite of the #rightcolumn so that when enabling LEFT ONLY it would be bigger than right side.. but I’m having no luck. &&&& also was looking at maybe playing with both sides being equal size???? could you help me out with the CSS settings to achieve 1). Big left size and pretty much NO right side at all && (2) Equal both sides?

Hello!

Thanks for your message and support of the Milk Theme :)

So, the short answer is: This is definitely possible, but not something we can provide step-by-step instructions for :(

The long answer is: The CSS for the sidebars is extremely complex, as it needs to take account for many many combinations (left, right, both, fluid, boxed and responsive). Accordingly there are probably hundreds of lines of code that control the sidebars spread between merlin.css and each of the individual responsive stylesheets. Also given the nature of CSS sidebars, it’s not the simplest code.

So it’s definitely possible, but would take a long time for us to send the find/replace instructions, and probably beyond the support grant included in your purchase.

If it’s any consolation though, merlin.css is definitely the right file (and also check the responsive stylesheets for the same CSS selectors). Also remember to clear your browser cache (Ctrl+F5) after each code change :)

Can I change color myself or do you have to choose a color offered?

Hello :)

You can choose from one of 15+ preset colours, or you can select your own accent colour with a colour picker if you’d prefer :)

Hi, I managed to install the theme in my forum, but after I added the extension, it does not appear under my extensions tabs thus i cant enable it. Is there any steps i missed?

Hi :)

Thanks for your support of the Milk theme!

It sounds like you might have uploaded the files to the wrong location. The file path to the extension should be: yourforum.com/ext/planetstyles/flightdeck/ .

If you’ve checked this and are sure it’s accurate, could you email me a link to your forum through the “Support” tab above?

Thanks! :)

Hi yeah, i found the issue, thanks! Its fixed now. Amazing theme by the way!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words, best of luck with your forum :)

How can i make a Sticky, where is the Sticky Button? Am I blind or is it maybe missing? :P

Exactly a Sticky Topic :) is important feature in Forums. And i can’t find settings for it :P maybe it is missing? If I am not wrong phpbb3 should be able for stickys out of the box.

Yep :)

If permissions are set correctly you’ll see an option to set the topic as sticky when creating your post.

You need to check that user group(s) you’re in have the permissions to create sticky topics. Weirdly by default phpBB doesn’t enable this permission for the “Administrators” group, so you can either add that permission, or add yourself to “Global Moderators” group where the permissions are enabled :)

Ok, the checkbox is called “important” topic, that confused me. I was looking for the term sticky. Now i got it :) Thank you very much again<3

Why do i have overlapping? https://i.imgur.com/1GjWVSb.png https://cryptoevo.de

How to stop that? Maybe show less numbers?

Hi there :)

Could you try this for me? Open: /styles/milk_v2/theme/common.css

Find:

.row .pagination {
    display: block;
    margin-top: -12px;
}
Replace with:
.row .pagination {
    display: block;
    margin-top: 2px;
    margin-bottom: 2px;
}

Done, works like a charm now! Even more elegant then i thought! Your are a genius! :)

You’re welcome :)

Bro when are you having a live demo of the dark version?

Hello :)

A dark demo is available here: http://planetstyles.net/demo/milk/3.2/2/ , but in this case the grid template is enabled.

To see how the list view might look, check out the topics view by clicking into one of the categories :)

Howdy, Please post the optimal file size for the header image background and how to get it to display on cell phones. For some reason, the header appears correct on the pc but not at all on the cell phone. It shows the transparent background logo over the gray bg color; no image. Thank you in advance.

Hello!

Would you be able to send us the link to your forum through the “Support” tab above?

You’ll need to be logged in to the account you bought the theme with, as we can only provide support to verified customers :)

Thanks!

Any preview or clues to the new theme Christian ? – Can’t wait :)

“Transparent” :)

Hi there, I wondered if I could inquire about your future roadmap for your theme? I’ve been running the same – premium – theme for years and recently the developer has pulled the theme from online sources and has otherwise disappeared, which potentially leaves me in a bit of a pickle with future phpBB updates. Especially since my forum is very heavily customised.

So I’m looking for a more future-proof alternative. Is your intention to continue support indefinitely or is this intended to be something that lasts a few years tops?

Thank you :)

That’s great to hear! :) – I guess I’ll have something to choose from soon!

I have one question – one feature I’ve been looking for especially is to give my users the option to choose between a light and a dark setup (smileys can be an issue there, I know), after having set up both. Does Milk (or your future theme) offer that ability?

Thanks again!

Hi again :)

So, the short answer to the light/dark question is yes and no.

At the moment it’s possible to install 2 copies of the Milk Theme side by side, then with a little trickery (which we can send you via support ticket after purchase), it’s possible to have one show light and the other dark whilst still managing only one flightdeck (control panel) installation.

The downside is that your users need to actually switch between 2 styles in their UCP, and if you’re looking to make modifications you need to do them to 2 separate sets of files.

But, soon we’ll be rolling out an update that allows front-end user switching with the click of a link and only one style installation :)

Well that all sounds pretty sweet! Thanks for taking the time to respond! :)

Is there an ETA for the next update? :)

Our next update will be a brand new theme release, due in the next 2 weeks :)

That’s great! However a new theme won’t have an effect on Milk I think? (Or will it?) I especially waiting for the user notification screen layout fix, before I can migrate my forum (or I will suffer the complaints of our users ;) ).
