Hi guys, haven’t purchased the style yet but have been stalking it for a while now and it seems like I’m going with it as it seems like the only one that looks clean and thoughtfully made, and I went trough a lot that are flashy but unfinished when you look closely . The only thing that worries me is that we’re making an rpg forum and there’s usually some level of custom design expected in those out of habit. Is there a way to edit it to add some custom elements to the edges or boxes/headers/add custom buttons/backgrounds? Not as a request, I just don’t know enough to assume if me trying to add things would break any features, if the files are editable to try or customization is only available by the panel, or if it’s even allowed to try and tweak things. I would basically want to add a big custom background around it instead of a header image and some corners here and there but want to double check what’s possible and allowed ☺️

Hi there,

Thanks for your support of Milk and the kind feedback :)

Customisation is definitely allowed within the license terms, so no problems there. Any customisation is possible from a technical point of view – as I’m sure you can appreciate though, Milk is sold as a stock theme (hence its competitive price), and so we can’t provide customisation help for free.

We can certainly point you in the right direction if you’re familiar with editing code, but can’t provide find/replace instructions for anyone’s individual needs.

Feel free to ping us a message through the ‘support’ tab above if you want to discuss anything privately :)

After upgrading to 3.3.1 it seems like every page does a fast refresh after it is fully loaded everything disappears and comes right back when you go to a new page. It is something to do with the style because prosilver does not do it. Any idea what might be causing this?

Fixed by turning “Disable CSS Loading Animations” to yes. BTW great work on the style I love it!

Correct, that will be the CSS loading animations. Normally there’s no delay, but if the server is slow to load the assets – then I guess that could cause some weirdness.

Thanks for the feedback :)

It’s just awful, I constantly face some kind of problems with this topic. Something is shifting, it works, do not understand how, what did I pay money for?

Thank you, I made a request, maybe later, when new versions are released, there will be no such problems and I will purchase it again.

Thanks, the refund has been approved. Envato will it pay in 1-7 days.

For the benefit of other customers reading, I should clarify that Milk is proven to work well with all tested phpBB extensions. It looks like this is a one-off with some custom code you’re using.

If there are any conflicts with standard phpBB extensions, we fix those conflicts quickly :)

If I knew which one, I would fix it. thanks

Some terrible problems with the style on 3.2, some all sorts of small jambs in it. Now, when you open a new topic in a new window, nothing works, neither links, nor buttons, until you reload the page several times. In the old style, this was not and is not.

Quick question. When i install the Youtube Video Gallery located here https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/youtube_videos_gallery/

it seems to break the grid syle of milk,im not sure if its from the extension or what.

Hi again,

Yep, this is caused by their extension applying a global inline style to every link. The milk grid needs to be a block display, so the extension breaks the layout.

Open: yourforum.com/ext/dmzx/youtubegallery/styles/prosilver/theme/video.css

Find and delete:
a {
    display: inline;
}
Save / purge cache etc.

Hi,

Like a few others, I am having install issues. I install to my folder yourforum.com/ext/planetstyles/flightdeck/ as directed but I get this when I open the folders yourforum.com/ext/planetstyles/planetstyles/flightdeck/

I have tried uploading differently but the same issue continues

It seems to create another folder?

Hi there,

Try uploading the .zip file one level higher in the file directory, then extracting.

The files should find their way to their location. Or upload manually through an FTP client :)

Cheers, The FTP trick worked.

Добрый день, а как возможно сделать, чтобы сайдбар был только на главной форума, а на других страницах отсутствовал? Спасибо

Hi there,

There are separate live demos for phpBB 3.2 and phpBB 3.3 .

What features are you trying to use?

Yes, I already saw that what I needed and liked is available for only 3.3, and I have 3.2 (((

Why not upgrade to 3.3? :)

How to get the forum description to show on the grid layout?

Hmm this seems to be a bug on iPads or bigger tablets,it won’t show forum descriptions if you tilt long ways. Also I noticed if you have a longer description it gets cutoff

Hi there,

Forum descriptions will be hidden in some responsive configurations if the right sidebar is enabled. This is due to the lack of available horizontal space.

It’s certainly possible to un-hide it, but there’s only 3-5 visible words due to the width constraints, and so it’s likely not worth it.

There is an issue with descriptions in general being cut off. There’s certainly some more work to do in order to tidy up the grid layout in general and address scaling content properly. Until that’s done, it’s recommended to condense the forum description into fewer words if possible.

How can make a dark and light theme so users can select which theme they want from this?

It’s a bit tricky, but the easiest way to achieve this would be:

1) Duplicate the Milk Theme files. Rename the new folder to something like milk_v2_dark

2) In the new set of files, find style.cfg and change the style name to something that won’t clash with ‘Milk’

3) Install as a separate style. No need to install a second flightdeck, the second theme will still adopt the values from the database

4) As the duplicated theme will still be picking up the ‘light’ preset from flightdeck, you’ll need to remove the remove the conditional statement that loads the dark stylesheet (so that it overrides the light base colour).

In /styles/milk_v2_dark/template/overall_header.html

Find:

<!-- IF STYLE_SETTINGS_CONFIG_BASE_COLOUR == 'Dark' -->
    <link href="{T_THEME_PATH}/colours_dark.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- ENDIF -->

Remove the IF statement, leaving just the middle line.

There is a small issue when viewing at a certain mobile size, You can replicate this on your demo by resizing it. https://i.postimg.cc/7hj3Rk0B/forum-overview-issue.png any ideas on how to sort this?

thanks for the quick update, sadly it still seems to behave the same even after purging cache

You’ll probably also need to clear your browser cache too.

I’ll wait and see if anyone complains! thanks again.

Hi, great style! I have a small problem with the latest update. When I click the … button above a post on mobile/iPad the post buttons (edit, delete, report etc) are hidden inside of a popup. This popup is very small, is there a simple way to make it wider?

Screenshot here: https://freeimage.host/i/screenshot-170.2kfON9

Hello :)

Fear not. This is caused by an update to jQuery in the phpBB core from phpBB 3.3.0 to 3.3.1: https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-16568

The bug fix is here: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/pull/6033/files , but apply it to Milk instead of prosilver :)

Oh great! Thank you!

which one has more advanced features

Volare Milk

Definitely Milk

Does anyone know how to make the forum background graphic that does not move with the forum?

i use: <STYLE type = “text / css”>

BODY

{

background-color: # 071015;

background-image: url (https://i.imgur.com/tA6QID4.png);

background-position: center;

background-attachment: fixed;

background-repeat: no-repeat

}

</STYLE>

I tried to change and add it to color-dark.css because I use dark style. I tried to paste it in the “Global <head> Code” panel in Flight Deck, but I have a problem with the graphics being covered so strangely: https://i.imgur.com/VLnuDBh.png and here this navy blue stripe starts to cover the artwork https://i.imgur.com/twaLsr8.png and I would like to make the forum itself move, and the leaves and the tree were visible all the time.

imgur links seems to be broken. Can you double check?

Thanks

I don’t know if I described it well. Now I have marked a part of the screen with a circle where the graphics are hidden. If I only have: <STYLE type = “text / css”>

BODY

{

background-color: # 071015;

background-image: url (https://i.imgur.com/tA6QID4.png);

background-position: center;

background-repeat: repeat

}

</STYLE> https://i.imgur.com/Bie54vQ.png the graphic stays at the top and the forum columns move and when it locks by broadcasting “background-attachment: fixed;” it’s as if this part of the forum starts to come from the category. https://i.imgur.com/siH71GT.png

I would like the background to be stationary and to be a graphic, not a color.

I understand the problem, the imgur links in your reply all have 403 errors – so I can’t see the screenshots.

i was wondering if you could add an option to have the main categories the grid style then the sub forums normal list style?

Oh, yes.

You need to adjust the margin values in common.css:

body.navbar_o_header .site-description {margin: 50px auto 100px;}

Change to 0 auto 0

hello sorry for the late reply i just now got around to doing this. Ive set everything to 0 purged the cache and it didnt do anything.

Hi again,

Can you ping me a link to your site? If you’d like to keep it private, you can do this through the ‘support’ tab above.

Thanks :)

Another question…. Is it possible to enable the search bar widget without activating the sidebars? https://ibb.co/sjXrHDF

Not at the moment. If we added this option, what would your preference be for its location?

I think it would be neat if the search bar is on the right side, almost like the image above -> https://ibb.co/sjXrHDF

Hello, I love the Grid version of this Style.

Quick question, I used to have subforums displayed on index page: https://ibb.co/1GfLkrn

But in the grid version that list does not work. https://ibb.co/qy15CtZ

Is it possible to make it works? Thanks.

Thank you for quick reply… No prob, I will be waiting for further releasing of newer versions.

Is there an announcement table for checking this, or does it just automatically show up like that when I update the Style?

For major updates you’ll receive an email from ThemeForest when an update is available, then you just need to download the new version and overwrite the files.

There is a strange behaviour of the website since the update with the last version of the theme using Firefox: It is as if the website loaded twice when navigating. No problems with other browsers.

Strange.

This would be caused by the CSS loading animations feature (which can be turned off in Flightdeck).

I wasn’t able to replicate on firefox so can’t recommend a fix until more customers report the same issue.

Turning the feature off would be the best course of action in the short term.

Thank you for the hint. I wasn’t aware of the feature.

Hello, has the price been lowered? Is it offer? Wasn’t it 27?

Hello. I don’t know much about licenses but if, for example, I activate the license on one website and, for the x reason, the web closes, can I move/use the license on another website that I have?

Hi there,

Yep, Milk can only be used on one active site at a time.

So if the site changes for whatever reason, you can re-use the license, providing it’s only used in one place at a time :)

Good day, UPDATED: v2.1.6 – August 25 2020 acts on the version phpbb 3.2.0 or onli version phpbb 3.3.2? should i update?

The current version of Milk will work on both of those versions :)

Hello, may I ask if your theme includes the CBB custom post editor? Thank you.

Hi,

Is that an extension?

If it is, it should work with Milk without any issues. If it’s something else, it’s not included, but I’ll be happy to look and see if it works :)
