mdPanel - Material Design IPS Theme [ support topic ]

[superaven]

But how do I pull the colors from the original (the good version that I left the window open on)? Besides using the inspector panel to look at CSS, I'm not sure how its done.

To clarify... I have several browser windows open of the theme before the issue. All front end pages, not the back end.

If I create a new version of the theme and open the editor of the new version, how do I relate elements on the front end with the editor on the backend?

Is there a cheat sheet of some sort that describes what relates to what? In teh editor, it'll say something like "Moderated Light Background" but when viewing the CSS class its almost always something entirely different that would be hard to guess.

oh, i thought you said that your theme editing pages were open. sorry it cant be done then. I hope IPS can fix the issues for you.

btw do you happen to have similar issues with the default IPS theme by any chance? 

[superaven]

Unfortunately it was just the front end pages. I guess I'm a dummy for not insuring I had a backup or versioning system in place. That said, can you recommend anything beyond manually copying or downloading the theme? 

And no, this issue only affected the active default theme that I was working on. There was a copy of my theme that was a week old that at least got me halfway there. Better than nothing.

Unfortunately, downloading the theme as a backup is the only good option

Another question... I just posted this to the general forum, but is there a cheat sheet or guide to help a person that is editing theme colors in the admin CP, to know what elements they affect on the front end? Some of the names in the admin CP for frontend colors aren't so obvious and I cant seem to figure out what's what to a lot of these even after setting a loud color and exploring the front end.

Not really, there are no cheat sheets. some of the color settings are used throughout the site and could be connected with hundreds of elements. for example Light text, Dark text. 

as for others you can easily tell what it is for by reading the setting text

[superaven]

Here's some examples...

I can see the description on the left is color coded, but no idea what it represents. Data item background: Status, Data item background: Info, Data item background: Warning are all items I haven't been able to locate and thus have not chosen my own colors for. Makes sense that some of these would represent many items, but there's nowhere that sort of clues you in to it? Seems crazy that this would all be a matter of trial and error.

These Data item background colors are all used for data lists in IPS 

For example the data item background: zebra is used on forums data list separating the forum rows with a different background and could be used on many more places all for same purpose.

same as for other data item backgrounds for example if there was an error or a warning...etc

 

the Moderated background colors are used on items you moderate, for example if you hide a topic the topic background becomes the moderated background color and could be used for other moderating options.

 

The highlighted background colors is applied if you enable this setting in the group settings

Ah, makes sense now why I wouldn't be able to see them... Several are dependent on a certain feature being activated.

Really appreciate the help @TAMAN, I owe you a stellar review of your theme. Will get to it asap.

You're welcome! ?

Thank you.

Hi @TAMAN

Maybe you can assist with explaining what the following color choices affect? These are the last of the ones I can't figure out and searching the forums hasn't provided any clues either. I know a lot of them affect many elements, but if you would please give me the main ones (if there are many).

Thanks again!

Front-End Colors
- Data item background: Status
- Data item background: Info
- Data item background: Warning
- Step Badge

Custom Widgets

Widgets & Titles

It is the custom widgets title background. 

 

Just now, superaven said:

Widgets & Titles
- Secondary title bar text

as far as i can tell, this is only used on Pages app and in one place. i have no clue why lol

 

I hope you know that except for the Custom widget title background, none of others are specific to my theme. ?

Hello @TAMAN,

I have two additional questions before I think I'm done tweaking my theme...

The first is a theme question, the second is a general question. Hoping you might have the answers to both.

1. How do I edit the CSS for custom colors on the support ticket status? Seems both "In Progress" and "Resolved" status use the same class: .cNexusSupportBadge
2. How do I create a default signature for the support desk replies? Would like to add some helpful links and a note to all outgoing support desk emails.

Thank you!

Hello,

1. Yes, they use same class names, You need to manually change the background and color to whatever you want ? 

Add in custom.css

.cNexusSupportBadge {
	background: #C04848;
	color: #fff;
}

Sorry I've never used Nexus application before, you might want to ask IPS staff with a ticket about this ?

Thanks for the positive review! ?

Hi @TAMAN

But if both the active and resolved tickets have the same class then this badge is the same color. I noticed on teh actual IPS support system that the status' are different colors to make them easy to identify in the ticket list. Possible?

Will ask regarding the signature.

Thanks!

Yea, and again i have never used Next application before. you could have settings to change these colors all in acp or theme settings tab, so its better if you ask IPS about this ?

Nice! I'll give that a go. I did open an IPS support ticket to ask about it.

[superaven]

Just an update in case anyone has an issue in the future regarding support status badge colors... I just heard back from IPS Support and the option to edit the badge color can be found in AdminCP > Commerce > Support > Settings > Statuses. You can change the color and other settings for each status.

In regards to the signature of outgoing support ticket emails... You can set a signature by clicking the 'my preferences' ticket at the top of the support requests pages in the AdminCP (Where you're looking at the list of support tickets).

@Taman nice theme. Would buy it if you could add an option where you can place the sidebar underneath the vertical menu 

To clarify if you enable left sidebar does it go underneath the navigation or at the side? would be great if left sidebar went underneath it.

Sorry, i cant add any options for this.

And If you enable left sidebar, it will be on left side next to navigation and not underneath navigation.
