Manual Mod Edits in Black Rain...

[sdkid]

Hey Crip...

I'm using BlackRain at http://greatplainsvoices.com.  I made small css color changes to it, and the Members seem happy with it!  

I've been hitting some snags with mods though, as some of your code is substantially different than what the mod expects to find in various files.  Example: I want to add a mod called "good Post/Bad Post" (here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1890) and I am having trouble doing some manual edits since the auto install failed. 

This "seems" to be a sticking point, and I have no clue how to make it work:

In /Theme/Default/DisplayTemplate.php... one of the edits is this:

find:

Code Select Expand

<div class="', $message['approved'] ? ($message['alternate'] == 0 ? 'windowbg' : 'windowbg2')

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

<div', $gpbp_action == 'hide' ? ' id="gpbp_hidden_' . $message['id'] . '"' : '' ,' class="', $message['approved'] ? ($gpbp_action == 'hide' ? 'gpbp_hider ' : '') . ($gpbp_badPost && $gpbp_action != 'none' ? 'gpbp_greyed' : ($message['alternate'] == 0 ? 'windowbg' : 'windowbg2'))

The code used in BlackRain (I think??) is:

Code Select Expand

         <div class="clearfix ', !$is_first_post ? 'topborder ' : '', $message['approved'] ? ($message['alternate'] == 0 ? 'windowbg' : 'windowbg2') : 'approvebg', ' largepadding">';

What do you think?
Should I be using a different version of Black Rain?  Is there a newer version that is a bit more "mod friendly"?  Am I doing something else really wrong here? Sorry in advance for my code-lameness! 

thanks for looking.

BR => RC4 ?

Demo of BR_Alt Curve templates not Core templates may be easier with mods.

RC4:'

Oops--- yeah sorry-- RC4.  Probably helps if I'd tell you what the hell I'm running.

sdkid,

Crip is saying that the Blackrain_alt theme may be easier to edit for Mods if you are using SMF 2.0 RC4 because it is based on the SMF 2.0 Curve templates --> New Blackrain_alt for 2.0 RC4 Curve Alternative version!

Right now, the Blackrain_alt theme  is only available for download at the SMF Themes site at this link --> http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=118

Well said ZarPrime.

Just a little update...

I got my forum up to RC5, and I am using DarkModern now.  AWESOME theme there Crip.  I have advanced reputation system running now, and everything seems smooth as silk! Great job on that theme.
