Upgrade from Zipped 1.4.4 to 1.5.3

[daimpa]

Hello, I'm upgrading the forum and need a clarification to update the theme (I've updated XF to 1.5.5a).

"To upgrade you'll need to upload the new XenBase folder first. Next you'll import XenBase-xml, overwriting your current XenBase Style. Finally import and overwrite your paid style(Fusion Gamer/Core/Apex ect...)."

What do you mean with the part in bold? Should we import the zipped folder, the zipped XML or both?

Also, I'm using a child style. I made several changes to properties and templates. Will I lose those changes? Thanks

Upload the unzipped folders to their proper place then import the unzipped XMLs.

No you won't. lose them.

Hi, first of all thanks For the reply. To be sure, with "Zipped" I meant the name of the theme. So, to confirm, should I upload also the folder and the XML of the theme other than the xenbase files/xml?

About the changes, at the moment I've uploaded only xenbase files/xml and the color of the text in the top menu changed..

From your computer upload "styles" to the site's "styles" (overwrite the existing files)
Then in the ACP "Import a File" the xml file "style-XenBase.xml" and "style-Zipped.xml" "Overwrite style".
It's not necessary to upload the xml files, you can import them from your computer.

Side note, backup your styles!

1.4.x -> 1.5.x is a rather huge change for our framework in regards to certain things.

Thanks for your reply.

Is it normal that after the update, some of the properties of my child theme are changed?
This is my structure:
Xenbase->Zipped->Child.

I made all the modifications in Child.

Now, when I check for example "Message Elements->Generic Attachment Thumbnail" the img value before the update was @imagePath/xenforo/node-sprite.png, now it's empty.

Some things were switched off by default yes. Regarding the thumbnail we ditched it for a Font Awesome icon instead of the normal sprite. Ideally we try to minimize any change but going from 1.4.4 -> 1.5.3 was a rather dramatic update.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Leaving it blank, this is what I see in my local environment. Is this as it should be?

I've another question. Which is the difference between "Enable Sidebar Login Form" and the default option? I've enabled it and it seems only a layout change.

 

[Russ]

Zipped originally came with it's own custom login form, that has been replaced for the default XenBase one in the next version. It's coded slightly better and should look good on any style.

As for the attached files... double check your xb_message.css isn't customized/outdated. We add some CSS to add in icons there

 

[daimpa]

It isn't customized/outdated. I've tested your public demo and I see exactly the same icon as in the pic I sent to you.

 

[daimpa]

Just to confirm, is it only my problem or a little mistake in the template like it seems from the public demo? Need a reply so I can install the theme in the live version of the site

 

[Russ]

I just tried on the demo site and it worked

Do any other font awesome icons like the editor icons in my screenshot load for you?

Ah I see the problem one moment

Ok so xb_messages.css is only being called on the message level, so once you leave that template such as the more options page it's not loading the CSS. I've adjusted this for the 1.5.6 release but if you want to change it now... you can just add this portion to your extra.css:

.XenBase .attachment .thumbnail .genericAttachment, .XenBase .AttachmentEditor .AttachedFile .Thumbnail .genericAttachment
{
   background-image: none;
   line-height: @genericAttachmentThumb.height;
   text-align: center;
}
.XenBase .attachment .thumbnail .genericAttachment:before, .XenBase .AttachmentEditor .AttachedFile .Thumbnail .genericAttachment:before
{
   color: @contentText;
   content: "\f019";
   font-family: FontAwesome;
   font-weight: normal;
   font-size: 32px;
   margin-left: 5px;
}
.XenBase .AttachmentEditor .AttachedFile .Thumbnail .genericAttachment:before
{
   content: "\f093";
}

I'm hoping to have the next update out in the next couple days for all the styles if you want to wait for that.

Great, thanks for your help and patience!
