Thank you for the nice looking theme.
Some how the custom/banner.jpg is not refreshed with my phote on ZMI page, but it works on the user page.
I am a new comer with plone and python, may be i made wrong.
Hi there. I think I know what you mean here. When you’re in the ZMI and edit an image, then upload a new one, you don’t always see it immediately. This is usually due to the browser’s cache. Try opening the image in a new tab and then pressing ALT (or Apple CMD) and F5 to clear the browser cache.
Thanks for using the theme. If it’s ok I’ll link to your site as an example of a site using my theme. Even cooler that it’s in Japanese
Hi David.
Thank you for yur advice.
I would really like to make the splash image a shorter height or remove it all together. It does not seem possible though. When I make the image say 40px height and then edit the css under plonetheme_hamnavoe_styles the remaining 60px space remains. Is there some way to remove this?
@Philip — you could change the styles on #splash-image to the height you wanted or add display:none;.
The best way might be to hack the underlying code if you’re confident with Plone theming. Please note that I’m not really maintaining this product at the moment due to other commitments but I do hope to return to it in the future.
Thanks for the reply, I forgot the in plone 3.3.x changes made to installed products like you theme are moved to the custom folder. I keep editing your css in the hamnavoe folder, when i should have been altering the on in the custom folder instead.
Hi David
Many thanks for the great theme. I know you’re not maintaining this project for now but do you know of a quick fix for the display issues in IE8? The top navigation bar moves abit to the left and is out of sync. Otherwise, looks brilliant in all other browsers I’ve used
@Julius — thanks, glad you like the theme.
One thing worth trying is to change the IE conditional comment so IEFixes.css is only picked up on versions of IE under 8. IE 8 is *generally* pretty much ok when it comes to standard compliance so this might work.
Your new conditional would look like this:
<!– Internet Explorer CSS Fixes –>
<!–[if lt IE 8]>
<style type=”text/css” media=”all”>@import url(IEFixes.css);</style>
<![endif]–>
You can make the change in the main_template file in portal_skins/hamnavoe_custom_templates, e.g. by customising this into your portal_skins/custom directory.
Then find the bit that says:
<tal:iefixstart replace=”structure string:<!–[if IE]>” >
and change to:
Hope this helps.
Sorry, got caught out by angle brackets in that response. The last line should read:
and change to:
<tal:iefixstart replace=”structure string:<!–[if lt IE 8]>” />
@David
Worked a treat! Many thanks
Will keep in touch
@Julius — great, glad that worked. Could you send me a link to your site once it’s working please? If it’s ok, I’d like to link to it from this page.
@David- Yes, sure. Currently building it on Internal server, will let you know once its up
Hi, David! I’ve got some trouble when customizing “Hamnavoe”. It seems that changes in hamnavoe.css and in base_properties don’t take effect. I tried to change portlets’ border to solid from dotted, but they remain dotted. So does any parameter in base_properties. Using debug mode. Maybe you’ve faced with such a problem and can give me advice?
@Elija. base_properties won’t make much difference to the Hamnavoe styles. You should customise hamnavoe.css (e.g. into your portal_skins/custom directory). Don’t forget to put portal_css into debug mode if you haven’t already done so.
Hope this helps!

I edit hamnavoe.css in my custom directory and debug mode is on =) Nothing happens. It seems, that original hamnavoe css somehow owerrides customized.
UPD: customizing portlets.css solved the problem, but i don’t see any dependence, cuz portlets.css should inherit parameters from hamnavoe.css, not vice versa.
@Elija. Sounds like it’s more of a cascade issue? You might need to change the weighting of the styles you’re editing, using something like #portal-column-content .mystyle rather than .mystyle? Just a thought. Good luck.
