Outlook Theme

[trickydick]

Well it sounds like your really getting into this.

[califrag]

heh... well you have no idea...

For the past few days I've been going through and completely re-overhauling all of the pages... fixing lots of things, adding things, changing things.... enough stuff that I'm going to have to put it in a new post once I'm done.

I've still got a few things I want to get cleaned up, then I'm gonna post it...

Boy I'm starting to think I missed alot

SO is this dead? Cuz it looks awesome and im looking to install it.

[trickydick]

no not at all, you will see alot of people using it or have used it. I just haven''t the need to modify it any longer; as I a few other members have been modding it and I am slowly but surely working on my next two projects:

Sweet thanks man

[boognish43]

I am loving this theme! I cant seem to find out where I can turn the accordian menu off. I prefer to have the full list there. Any ideas?
I also dont like the equalizer on the player bar, it makes the controls/time hard to read. Can this be changed?
huge thanks for any help!

Hey,
First I want to thank you for taking the time for going through all this effort to make things shinier for all of us !
Secondly, I had some issues with the theme and I wonder if you could help me.
Basically, I downloaded the latest version of your theme (3.3) and then unzipped the files to the webapp folder and overwrote everything. I am running the 4.6 beta version 2 ( Windows 7 )
The only problem I noticed was that there was scroll bar the the top where the menu icons are and you had to scroll to see the top section. I have set it as the default theme and have cleared cache/ relogged on to subsonic but no avail. If you have any tips for me on how I can get this solved that would be great. I am not an expert in web design as you are so if you could explain to me in simpler terms that would be awesome ! I really wish I could get the calender and other cool features working !

Thanks for your good work !

Try this from califrag's post
"To fix the top bar, I had to delete the subsonic/jetty/###/jsp folder and clear my cache as stated earlier in the thread."

boognish43 - to remove the accordion menu, you must remove the accorion DIV tags in the left.jsp. LIke this:

Code: Select all

    <div id="accordion">
<c:forEach items="${model.indexedArtists}" var="entry">
    <h3><a name="#">${entry.key.index}</a></h3>
    <div>
    <................more code............>
        </p>
    </c:forEach>
    </div>

to

Code: Select all

<c:forEach items="${model.indexedArtists}" var="entry">
    <h3><a name="#">${entry.key.index}</a></h3>
    <div>
    <................more code............>
        </p>
    </c:forEach>

</c:forEach>

I don't believe my last them had the equilizer in it, but you can change it in the playlist.jsp page. open it and find:

Code: Select all

function createPlayer() {
        var flashvars = {
            backcolor:"<spring:theme code="backgroundColor"/>",
            frontcolor:"<spring:theme code="textColor"/>",
            plugins:"backstroke-1,subeq-1&subeq.gain=2&subeq.displaymode=decay&subeq.barbasecolor=<spring:theme code="barbasecolor"/>",
            id:"player1"
        };

and remove or comment the plugins section you can place a // in front of it. like this:

Code: Select all

//plugins:"backstroke-1,subeq-1&subeq.gain=2&subeq.displaymode=decay&subeq.barbasecolor=<spring:theme code="barbasecolor"/>",

NuttySocrates - Thanks for the compliment. Just wait until you see the facebookUI theme. its cleaner and light weight.
ISSUE: I have not tested the outlook themes on 4.6 beta; I was waiting until the final release. But you must clear your cache after you install this theme as it mods both the theme files and language files (english only). The theme files will then have a variable in it stating the height for the top menu. every theme will have it allowing me to size any theme differently. this may cause issues with 4.6 version as there is a jsp code in the index.jsp that reads the variable of theme used.

Hey another quick question. I am trying to update the number of artwork that shows on the home screen after i log on. I wanted it to show 8 covers in a row and 4 in each column. I also wanted to make sure that instead of random the home screen directly takes you to top rated. Please help me if you can.

Thank you for all you guys help so far ! I appreciate your work and just fyi the theme works perfectly fine with the 4.6 beta 2 ( latest version as of dec 1st 2011)

Great theme and good work !

Peace

Nutty

To increase the covers, follow this post. I persoanly don't do it as my resolution is not as high (laptop limitations)

To change the default page, you will have to mod the top.jsp link for home:

top.jsp

Code: Select all

<div class="topimg ${home}">
    <a href="home.view?" target="main" class="TriggerEffect"><SPAN></SPAN>
      <img id="MenuImg" src="<spring:theme code="homeImage"/>" title="${home}" alt="${home}" class="${home}" />
    </a><div class="desc"><a href="home.view?" target="main">${home}</a>
</div>

Change the href="home.view?" to

Top Rated

Code: Select all

<a href="home.view?listSize=10&listType=highest"

Recently Added

Code: Select all

<a href="home.view?listSize=10&listType=newest"

I have new releases for the outlook theme. Nothing big has changed, just a few minor corrections. These are not the califrag's "cleaned" versions.

I've also updated them to support subsonic release 4.6

Ver 3.4 (subsonic 4.5)
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1iBWlUz8eUkZjdkODQyOTItZDRhYi00ZWJhLTlmMTktMmQzZTQ2MzA3Zjhm

Ver 3.5 (subconic 4.6)
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1iBWlUz8eUkZTU0NWY3ODItZjg1Ni00NGU4LWJmNjQtNTU2Nzk4YjllZjY4

Enjoy

Make sure u overwrite ALL files not just the CSS. And be sure u have cleared ur cache, both subsonic and web browsers.

When u go to the link, on the top left go to 'file --> download original' to get the entire zip file.
