I found a solution to a problem I had. Posting it here in case anyone starts looking. :)

If you're like me and you used Artisteer and Adv. forum together.. you'll notice that a lot of times the forum post text rolls right off the screen. This is a problem with the way that Artisteer generates templates.

Instead of tagging the post content area as

they used "Sheet" in their generated style.css. The workaround for this is to simply go into the advf-forum-post.tpl.php file and change the following:
print $content

Now your widths should fall neatly within the border areas.

Hi there!

I do have a question... as I see you're using the Artisteer program :)

For my part... the posts aren't using the site's template.
this only happens on posts, and doesn't on forum-listing.

(Here is an exemple : http://www.aionforce.com/node/3 )

I hope you can help me out!

Thanks

Advanced Forum is powerfully written in such a way that it uses its own "themes" for the forum component. You would have to manually create a theme very similar to your sites theme for the advanced forum module. Navigate to Administer > Advanced Forum to change the module's theme settings or see the physical files at modules/advanced_forum/styles and you'll see the different themes it uses. The best suggestion I would say is to edit the 'Blue_Lagoon' theme to your needs.

Hope that helps.

What if don't have any advf-forum-post.tpl.php file?

What if don't have any advf-forum-post.tpl.php file?

That file is in the default style folder. Some info on this:

Naked: This is the default style. It has minimal CSS, mostly used for positioning, and is designed to make use of your theme's CSS as much as possible. It is designed as a base to build on and in D6 is the only style with a complete set of files. All other styles include only files that are changed from Naked.

Ok - found it. Should I find div "content" and change its name to "sheet", or there something else I should do?

When I use Artisteer theme with Advanced Forum, nothing shows up, everything gets blank/disappear. And wehen I turn off the advnaced forum, the core druapl forum shows up preety clearly. I'm not sure what may have been the reason with it.

Has anyone using Artisteer (artisteer.com) with Advanced forum. Any help will be appreciated.

I use Artisteer version 2.3.0.21098 with Drupal 6 at the moment and I have (discovered) only one problem (up to now): The thread titles don't appear.

I am a bit lost how to solve this. I could report this to Artisteer, but then they might say that advanced forum module is not core Drupal. Of course they cannot cater for just any contributed module out there, that would be too much.

In page.tpl.php replace line

if (($is_front) || (isset($node) && isset($node->nid))):

with

if (($is_front) || (isset($node) && isset($node->nid) && $node->type != 'forum')):

Only problem I am having is, my artisteer themes are not showing the bullets that I have posted in my forum messages (Recipes), and with the 6.x-2 branch of advanced forums, the navigation (previous/next topic do not show up)..Granted not really THAT big of a deal, I can use the 6.x-1 branch and I get the navigation back, but still, no bullets.. turn advanced forums off.. and the theme works correctly.. If anyone using Artisteer and Advanced Forums can help figure this bug out, I would greatly appreciate the assist.

My site is http://moonlightway.homeip.net if you would like to take a look at the themes I have created.

Version: 5.x-1.1 » 6.x-1.1
Component: Code » User interface

When using Artisteer (2.4.0.26594) with Advanced Forums 6.x.1.1 (and 6.x.2.x dev), everything looks fine until someone posts a reply to a post, then the original post cannot be seen unless you highlight its text. (post fg and bg colors are the same). The replies look fine, but the original is hosed. This behavior is identical in all adv. forum styles.
