Ubiquity update

After more than a thousand of succesful downloads, I have committed some fixes and added new features to the now famous (sic!) Ubiquity Drupal theme. If you haven’t customized it to death yet, go and grab the updated version. Update affects only the code (php and css files), so no PSD files are new.

I wish to thank you all fellows who contributed to this theme with suggestions and bug reports.
And I thank you all of you who downloaded and evaluated it, please post your experience and if you use it publicly, show it to the world.

Gorgeous theme! Thank you

Gorgeous theme! Thank you for making it and letting us use it :). I'm using it with Drupal 5.X

I do have an issue though:

I'm am seeing user avatars in content even though I have enabled them in the theme settings. Is this a Ubiquity issue that is being addressed? Thanks for your help in advance.

which module is to get the login block as a popup?

It is called the Thickbox module.

Thank you for sharing.

For a reference, this is how I did it

Enable Thickbox, then click box Enable for login links
Automatically activate Thickbox for links to user/login.
Then put this anywhere, in you page.tpl

<?php
global $user;
if ($user->uid) {
print t('You are logged in as !name', array('!name' => theme('username', $user))) .' | '. l(t('log out'), 'logout');
}
else {
print t('Login', array('@login' => url('user/login', drupal_get_destination())));
}
?>

Footer with Firefox 2.0.0.8

I'm having the same problem. This doesn't happen on any(?) other themes, but I have a strange feeling it has something to do with huge negative margins and excess use of floats or something like that.

I thought I had it worked out at one point, but the background for the wrapper didn't come all the way down.

Now I'm thinking to re-write some of the CSS and maybe chop the background image so that it can be made to repeat all the way down the page or something, since, IMHO there is just too many wrappers and things that don't need to be there.

Moving the tag on 104 to 111 didn't work for me, either... playing around with all those was one of the first things I did...

Watch this space for updates.

Fixed

I stand completely corrected. I wasn't using the dev version, and moving the tag worked. Perhaps someone should update the file/link on drupal.org/project/Themes!

Firefox 2.0.0.8 Issues - confirmed.

I can confirm the issues with 2.0.0.8. Went back to a 2.0.0.6 no issue, or the v1.5.0.12-7 build for Centos 4.

2.0.0.9

I noticed the problem with the -dev version, too, but with the new Firefox 2.0.0.9 it went away, I suppose this was a CSS bug in Firefox.

bug firefox 2.0.0.8

hello ... i have a print screen of firefox 2.0.0.8 on your site with the visual bug..footer bar displays at the level of the body content...is there a solution for it?... check http://www.intersap.net/firefox_2.0.0.8_bug.gif

This works for me

Move the </div> in page.tpl.php from line 104 to line 111.

So the footer div elements are no longer in the wrapper. Does this make sense?

Don't know if this breaks other stuff, but Firefox 2.0.0.8 renders fine, and IE7 still works.

2.0.0.8 fix

Thanks! Seems to work well and solve the issue during my initial testing. The line numbers did not match up exactly with the source I had, but not hard to figure out.

doh..

That should read: so the footer div elements ARE between the wrapper div tags. Sorry.

firefox 2.0.0.8 issue

Thanks for making this template! I use it on my site, I think it's very pretty.

However, in Firefox 2.0.0.8, there is an issue: the bottom (dark blue) footer is always on the same heigth as the page body, which may be higher than some of the side-bars.

You can see it on your own "about" page.

Cheers,

User Avatars?

Hey, maybe not the best place to post this, but i was visiting this site for the first time, and I was suprised to see User Avatars? in the comments, I didn;t think I could enable them within Ubiquity Theme? Love to implement this,

Views make the layout go dead

Hi,

First off all: I really like your theme. Good work. Keep up the good work and do make some new ones too.

Though I have a little problem. I am building an e-commerce site based on drupal 5.2, ubercart 7c, and this theme. For Ubercart I need Views to make a nice frontpage.

When I make a new view, just a simple one, only an image, the layout goes to hell and back. All the content items are diplayed below each other. If I am expanding the view to some more views, I see the content to the right of the theme. It seams there is missing some html or end div....

Could you look into the code and check this.

Thanks.

1. this theme relies on using primary links. If you're not using is, try to cut out from it using the photoshop file and the template files.

2. This is not an easy task, the layout part of the css must be rewritten in order to have the pages aligned left.

Great template! a few questions..

This is a really nice template! great work!
But I have 2 questions.
1. When not using primary links there is a blue/greyish field where I guess an image is missing.
You can see it here: http://www.mun.no
When primary link is active this problem is gone.

2. How can I align the whole site to the left and not centered like it is now?

Thanks :)
