A recently developed site, Forté Representation , was released as a pure Flash site.  To allow this site to be viewed on non-Flash enabled devices such as the iPhone, non-Flash pages were developed.  Upon visiting the site, it is determined whether you can see Flash or not.  If you can't see Flash on the device you are accessing the site with, then you will only be served non-Flash pages. One of the key features of the site is the gallery.  To mimic the Flash version of the photo gallery, Javascript was implemented with the assistance of the JQuery library.  Combining JQuery with a plugin called EasySlider allowed for development of a sliding gallery that is visible on non-Flash devices. In total, the site was broken up into separate HTML pages: Home Photographers, broken up into each artist:  Linda Mackie , Ian Sheh , and Renat Touichev . Makeup+Hair, listing the artist Eman Aziz .

Okay, let's begin digging a little deeper into the style code of the Agora Forum .  We're going to begin with editing the horizontal bars to help control the appearance of your forum. First, let's start with making sure you have the Firebug extension installed for Firefox.  The Firebug extension will really help shed a light on how the custom style sheet affects the horizontal bars.  Once installed, you can select the row in Firefox and see what styles are being used to control the row. The one key property you are looking for is height .  It is the height of each class that we will be changing to customize the size of the horizontal bars.  What this blog post will do is show you which classes to edit in your style sheets. Let us begin with the top horizontal bar, the main menu row of Agora Forum.  This one bar is controlled by the one class div.ag_rightend found in common.css ( /joomla/components/com_agora/style ).  Adjusting the height prop...

Most Active Users Section If you wish to remove the "Most Active Users" section of your forum, you'll need to comment out the top section of footer.tpl , which can be found in the templates directory of the Agora Forum component directory:   /components/com_agora/template/ Opening up footer.tpl , you'll find that the top section has the "Most Active Users" section surrounded by a starting and ending comment block.  To remove the "Most Active Users" from your forum, just comment out the code that is between the two comment blocks. Now, on a side note, this area is important, if you choose to keep the "Most Active Users" section, because this is one area you'll need to apply styles, if you are customizing the look of your Agora Forum.  Take note of this location and we'll come back to it in the post I make about customizing the look of your forum.
