    Hi Iain,

    Thanks for your answer.

    I have one suggestion: it would be good if version numbers were assigned to this theme, such as 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1, 1.5 etc. Otherwise how one who uses this theme would know that the theme was updated and it is worth to upgrade? - checking demo if it is visually different from that I use on my site is not enough.

    The only way right now is by checking the commit log on GitHub.

    The project I’m working on, I budgeted around 1 week for doing this. I’ll apply a version number when my time has run out, (which is soon).

    Future updates will probably be quite minor, I see it has been forked already so its possible that other folks will commit code/mods also.

    OK, I’ve tagged as v1.0 on GitHub, my time available for this is finished for now.

    I’ve included the psd file for the icons I created, and added some notes on the readme.

    It’s still not an ‘ideal’ theme, but it’ll hopefully give some folks a good headstart when customising for their clients.

    If you’re using Scaffold as the base for a commercial project and you find it useful, please consider a $25 donation which can be submitted via the pledgie button on GitHub.

    You can download Scaffold v1.0 from GitHub

    Hi Iain,

    Great theme - we’re going to use it on our new site that we’re building (will make the donation)

    I’m trying to add our standard banner/menu/footer components, but I’m doing something wrong I guess.

    I’m adding the following code

    <div class="header">
     {embed="site/.logo_main"}
     {embed="site/.email_login"}
     {embed="site/.search_form"}
     {embed="site/.tagline_{page_type}"}
     {embed="site/.menu_main"}
     {embed="site/.menu_{page_type}_sub"}
    </div>

    The ‘page_type’ and ‘page_sub’ variables are set as follows at the top of the template:

    {preload_replace:page_type="training"}
    {preload_replace:sub_page_type="forum"}

    However, when I save the template and then reload the page I see all the above statements as plain text in the rendered page.

    Are forum module templates parsed differently to other templates?

    Also posted support forums, but posting here as well in case it’s anything specific to the theme.

    Thanks,

    Nick

    Hey Nick,

    looks like you got your answer about the embeds in your other post,

    it also looks like GitHub has removed the Pledgie donation buttons from it’s admin options… It used to be there 😊

    You can make a donation of any amount via my donation page: http://iain.co.nz/donate/

    Many thanks 😊

    Iain.

    Hi Iain,

    OK, donation done. I’ve also downloaded your taxonomy code, so made it for $50 - hope that’s OK.

    I’ll let you know when the new site that includes your modules is up.

    Cheers,

    Nick

    This theme looks awesome and I will be using as a starting point for a client customization. Thanks so much.

    Here’s my vote for EL to make it an option for the EE forums.

    This is absolutely fantastic!  I have been searching for this for some time, can’t believe it was right beneath my nose.

    In order to install the Scaffold Theme, is it simply a function of dropping the full “Scaffold” folder into the /forum_themes folder on my install?

    Sorry…. just answered my question.  Failed to see the README file in the folder.  I will work through it.

    Thanks again, Ian. It looks excellent.

    Quick question:

    Is there a way to prevent the Scaffold theme from collapsing horizontally when one reduces the width of the browser window?

    Below is a picture - should be a quick fix in the CSS - please advise.

    Thanks in advance.

    if you take the max-width:100%; property out of the #forum-wrapper in screen.css (line 6) it should fix that for you.

    Thanks Iain,

    That did indeed do the trick.

    Much appreciated.

    Hello Iain,

    Another question for you.  Do you have any idea why this might happen? 

    I have attached a screenshot of the screen one is led to when clicking on a link within one of the EE generated emails when someone posts on my forum.  It is a simple link to a reply like this:

    The post can be found at:
    http://myodesign.com/forums/viewreply/14/

    It takes me to the screen captured in the screenshot that has a login form, however it is completely unresponsive.

    There is also the {form_declaration} tag that just seems to be hanging there, unattached to anything…

    Your thoughts?
