Hi, I hope this thread isn’t abandoned and I can get some help.

I’ve tried following the tutorial of MailGuard both from this thread, and from the MG2 site: https://www.minigal.dk/tutorial002.php

I managed to get my first errors to go away, which was that the thumbnails_begin.php, etc… files weren’t finding the mg2header.php and mg2footer.php files. I just had to fix the URLs with direct ones.

This is the gallery as it is right now: https://oobe.weblogs.us/wp-content/gallery/index.php

I’m not sure if I should be seeing my header from the blog or what. And the footer apparently seems to not be working, and I don’t know what to do about it.

My mg2footer.php file contains <?php get_footer(); ?>

My mg2header.php file contains <?php
require('https://oobe.weblogs.us/wp-content/themes/outofbodyexperiences/header.php');
get_header();
?>

I didn’t even know what to do with the whole portion of MailGuard’s tutorial that talks about the style.css being renamed to mg2style.css. Then I realized he was talking about his own specific code that had style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> );

Mine, a customized kubrick, only read this in the index.php portion that was supposed to be copied in his tutorial: <?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

Can anyone enlighten me on how to get the pieces to click together so that the header/footer shows up and I’m done with this hang-up? It would be much appreciated.

You know, I think every time that I’ve asked a question on this thing, the answer has always been blatantly obvious, and I’m not thinking of it by a sheer disconnection for no reason I can figure out. It’s always the simple stuff that I already know by common sense, in contrast to all the complicated stuff that I do manage to figure out, that I’ve never had to deal with before, like css. Maybe it’s something like that. -Getting single-minded. Or always working on this hours after I should’ve gone to bed. Flargle. Thanks.

It’s the millionth time! And now I’m realizing it’s always me looking at the page in the end. I’ll def try to keep this in mind before asking another damn question. Haha.

Everyone seems to have a lot of problems with, including myself. Lots of people getting -1 year, 12 months – or whatnot.

A couple people seem to have come up with fixes. I downloaded Blue Dragon’s fix. It seems to be working. I hope it stays, honestly. I’m crossing my fingers… and I use WP 1.5. You can find it in the postings.

Oh, now I get it. Thanks for clarity!

Ah!

I changed the links to the images- but I actually… don’t get it?

I mean- with my edited kubrick stuff, all the names are changed so they have 1, 2, 4, or whatever at the ends, and I just have /images/ for the path on those, and yet they follow to the images folder in the manvsmonsters directory. (?)

Thanks a lot though. I guess this means my damn site is finally finished! Hurrah! (I think it’s finished?)

Oh wow, it just all made sense all of a sudden when you mentioned that image. Buh.

I thought that was just some optional clear background, forgot and didn’t think it was used on other pages. I’ll have to go put back in the code for it in the header.php too.

Yowza. And thanks.

Well, I’ve settled with what I’ve managed.

The only problem I’m still having is that my buttons are not showing up still! I added another one, but both buttons just do not work. I can’t figure this one out. The ALT messages are showing…

Man VS Monsters

Can someone take a peak at the code and see if there’s anything strange?

The images are there:

Weblogs.us Button
Get Firefox Button

Okay, here’s news. I’ve applied the code to header.php where it lists the image files to be used for the backgrounds, and it worked for the footer. It HASN’T worked with the kubrickbgwide.jpg one yet for the length of the content. I don’t know why. Still messing with it though…

Mmm… wonderfully simple with the border things.

It worked with the header, including making a border on the bottom when I used my massive brain power and substituted ‘left’ and ‘right’ with: ‘bottom’.

However, the page didn’t work.

I’m going to use my brain power again.

So this kubrick deal- it uses these images, tiled- to form the look of the page/content/whatever.

Could there possible be a way about this, some css command that puts a border on the left and right of that image, that when tiled on top of each other as it does- would create a solid border?

Well, I’ll look anyway and see if I can smack that code on a bunch of stuff that might control the background image tiles- things.

Thanks much. These sorts of things fry me.

I created a new branch since I wanted to leave it untouched.

And another dang update. Sorry.

I just uploaded my sidebar, header, and style files because I cleared my cache and loaded my page after I gave my link- and I noticed that I neglected to update the header file so that the old kubrick headerimage would stop popping up real fast before my personalheader.jpg would load.

I’m not sure if there was any other little fixes in my other files, I was just covering all grounds. Then I look at the button thing, and now there’s a text link- AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THAT’S THERE NOW!

It just occurred to me that I’d want borders on the sides of the header image too. Just not on the top of the header image, if that’s possible through code some way…

You guys work fast.

Nope- alt text does not show. It’s basically as if not even there.

<li><H5>MAN VS MONSTERS IS POWERED BY | </H5><a href="https://weblogs.us/"><img src="/images/weblogsusbutton.jpg" border="0" width="81" height="15" alt="Weblogs.us"/></a></li>

BAM DAMN IT!

• <H5>MAN VS MONSTERS IS POWERED BY | </H5><img src=”/images/weblogsusbutton.jpg” border=”0″ width=”81″ height=”15″ alt=”Weblogs.us”/>

Okay, apparently my coding example didn’t work in the haste. So… let’s see if this does. Or else… that would stink.
