Xbox Green Style

[SilentK]

Thought I would share this as it's the old style for my site (In the process of creating a new one).

Also I have a template modification that displays a random logo. Details are in the readme on how to get this working. Let me know if you guys run into any bugs as this is my first time releasing a style.

edit: updated it so the style uses relative file paths for the images. Please update it so your not using images off my server.

Lovely! Ever thought of making a PlayStation skin? :p

<span class="highlight">*Selven12 Installs!!*</span>

Yeah you should try and make a playstation skin!! It would be really cool!!

[selven12]

Yeah...something may be wrong because the header isn't showing up. It could be me but could you check it out while I try and see if it's on my end?

if you want to see here's my link, http://www.complete-anime.com/Vbulletin

Well this has to do with the random logo modification I did. Details on how to get it working are in the readme. Essentially you have to add a plugin to global_start
with something like this

$imagearray[1]="http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/images/xbox/logo1.jpg";
$imagearray[2]="http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/images/xbox/logo2.jpg";
$imagearray[3]="http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/images/xbox/logo3.jpg";
$imagearray[4]="http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$random=rand(1,4);

Replace the domain name with yours.

In your case the code should look like this.

$imagearray[1]="http://www.complete-anime.com/Vbulletin/images/xbox/logo1.jpg";
$imagearray[2]="http://www.complete-anime.com/Vbulletin/images/xbox/logo2.jpg";
$imagearray[3]="http://www.complete-anime.com/Vbulletin/images/xbox/logo3.jpg";
$imagearray[4]="http://www.complete-anime.com/Vbulletin/images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$random=rand(1,4);


Also I haven't tested but this should work for most people.

$imagearray[1]="images/xbox/logo1.jpg";
$imagearray[2]="images/xbox/logo2.jpg";
$imagearray[3]="images/xbox/logo3.jpg";
$imagearray[4]="images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$random=rand(1,4);

[SilentK]

Ok I tested the plugin with the relative url and it worked fine. So I updated the zip to include a file called randomlogo_plugin.xml install this as a plugin and it should work.

[selven12]

Hey good work!! That plugin worked like a charm. It solved the problem completely. So like thanks!!

[SilentK]

glad it worked for you.

[MissKalunji]

very nice *clicks install*

[selven12]

Hey, if it's not to much to ask, could I change the header? It doesn't fit my site but I like the rest of the design!! If not that's okay too. But I would like your permission. Cause I'm not going to get myself into any trouble if you know what I mean.

[SilentK]

You mean the logo's? Yeah that's fine. I would of provided a .psd file but I haven't found it yet. Perhaps I'll make a new .psd file so you guys can easily customize logo's.

[selven12]

Sweet!! I greatly appreciate it!!

[SilentK]

Ok I included a .psd file in the zip now. Just replace the text layer with whatever text you want.

[forte]

How about a .psd file of the button?

[SilentK]

Which button?

[forte]

The quote button. Or you can just tell me the exact RGB colors of it.

[SilentK]

Hmmm I definitly don't have a .psd of that laying around. Also all i did was take the standard quote button and colorize it. To tell you the truth i did it such a long time ago I don't remember what the rgb values are.

[selven12]

Thanks For The psd!! The Header I mean

[Bukusami]

Silly question as i only just installed VB and this theme fits perfectly to what i want, i wanted to see what ym site looked liek without the logo so i went into edit the theme to do so and found this.

Image Paths:
All of these are pointing to your site, ie: http://www.xblteams.com/images/xbox/logo.jpg

Is this right or should they pointing to my /images/xbox/logo.jpg ?

I havnt tried playing with it as dont want to break anything.
Regards

[SilentK]

Yes that's a mistake on my part. I had to use direct paths because of some other things I was using.

images/xbox/logo.jpg should work fine.

I'll go update the paths on my site and export an updated xml file to fix the changes for anyone who downloads it in the future.

Hehehe that explains why my bandwidth was up higher than normal.


edit: ok the new xml file is up. If you don't want to mess with the image path's yourself you can simply delete the current xbox style and reimport the xml (dont do this if you have any customizations in the style).

If you prefer to just do it manually all you have to do is delete http://www.xblteams.com// off the path so for example

htp://www.xblteams.com//images/xbox/logo.jpg

would now be images/xbox/logo.jpg I've tested it on my forum and it's working. Relative path's should work fine on your sites as well as long as you do not access it from different url's or area's so for example if you have a frame at http://www.domain.tld/frame/frame.html and your forums are at http://www.domain.com I believe you will get broken images and you will need to use absolute paths in which case

simply replace
http://www.xblteams.com//images/xbox/logo.jpg

with
http://www.yourdomain.tld/images/xbox/logo.jpg

if you have your forums in a sub directory
http:///www.yourdomain.tld/subdirectory/images/xbox/logo.jpg

On a side note if you want to change the header image you cannot do that in style vars as I override that with the random logo plugin.

to change the header image go to your plugin manager edit randomlogo

inside your should see

$imagearray[1]="images/xbox/logo1.jpg";
$imagearray[2]="images/xbox/logo2.jpg";
$imagearray[3]="images/xbox/logo3.jpg";
$imagearray[4]="images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$random=rand(1,4);


You can do several things here. You can simply upload over logo1.jpg and so on or you can point it to different images. To point it to different images just change the filenames above you may need to use relative or absolute depending where you placed the image.

Also to add or remove images to the random queue
just do this


$imagearray[1]="images/xbox/logo1.jpg";
$imagearray[2]="images/xbox/logo2.jpg";
$imagearray[3]="images/xbox/logo3.jpg";
$imagearray[4]="images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$imagearray[5]="images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$random=rand(1,5);


if you have 5 images you need to update the numbers being passed to the rand function otherwise you'll never see the new image you added.

so if you have six images it would be rand(1,6) you can leave the 1 alone pretty much.

same deal if you remove images from the array.

[Bukusami]

cool thanks, will update now and press install :)

[hugh_]

Would it be possible to have the psd originals for this theme? I need to make new buttons...

Thanks.

hugh

[talkPSP]

This might be a stupid question, but how do I make the layout a fixed size instead of fluid? Becase I replaced the header with my own custom one, and it doesn't always fit the forum size. On 800x600, it fits fine, but on higher resolution screens, the header is too small.

Is this possible?

P.S. Nice layout!

[SilentK]

Yes it is possible to make it a fixed width. I dont remember off the top of my head though so I'll go browse around the templates and find the table.

I dont have and .psd files of the button I lost my .psd files a long time ago when I had to reformat my computer.

If your just talking about the quote, reply, new thread, etc buttons I believe I colorized the standard vbulletin buttons.

[SilentK]

Ok to make it a fixed width I believe you just need to go the xbox green style, select in the drop down menu style vars. Where it says 100% for main table width change that to 800 (thats the width you want right).

Essentially without the trailing % that value translates to pixels so just change it to whatever fixed width you want.

[LiQuid ArroW]

Looks awesome.

Will you ever make a Xbox 360 skin?

[SilentK]

Maybe in the summer. Too busy with classes now to be creating a new skin.

[TomJames]

Fantastic skin. Just what I was looking for :D *clicks Install*

[SilentK]

Just to update everyone I just disabled hotlinking on my server. I believe the current version doesn't hotlink anything so if you just installed you should be fine.

If you installed an older version and didn't get the update notice I sent out you should do so immediatly.

If I did miss any hotlinks please let me know and I'll fix it asap.

[SagesseForum]

wooow owesome.

* SagesseForum installs :D

[RoutineX]

Was just wondering if you were planning updating the template for vB 3.6.0.

[AmbitiousOne]

will this ever be updated to the current 3.6.7 version?

I love this skin but cant use it

[Brokenman]

How come the header doesn't show up on my board?

I haven't tested the style with the version of vbulletin your using so that could be the problem.

Also did you read the readme on how to setup the random header plugin?

As for updating the style I might do that in the near future when I get around to paying jelsoft another $30 to get my hands on the latest version.

Just so you know I'm also very keen to see this style updated and I'd be happy to pay for renewal fee if you're interested (notice the price of that goes up to $60 in 2 days time!)...

Sorry for the bump, but I have the exact same problem as above.

[SilentK]

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=208449" target="_blank">https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=208449</a> I have updated the style for the current version of vbulletin.

As for the above questions about how to fix an error please describe or giver a higher resolution screenshot because I don't see an error on that screenshot.
