Deleting and re-installing the upgraded skin would probably be the best way. Be sure to upload the updated graphics... Thanks for using the style, and please click install. :)

is this ever going to be able to use on 3.6.0 gold?

[Roms]

is this ever going to be able to use on 3.6.0 gold?

Should work fine now, just click ignore on the style version. But yes, it will be soon.

[xReDeFiNeD]

yeah it worked but for some reason the buttons aren't showing up

[StuntFactoryX]

im using this skin w/ 3.6 gold and it works great..

[Roms]

yeah it worked but for some reason the buttons aren't showing up

You need to make sure all the image paths are correct.. Go into your AdminCP >> Styles & Templates, Choose the style you want to fix, >> All Style Options (Click Go)

In the "Image paths" area... and find add the areas to add it in the CSS (Body, Page Background, Category Strips...)

Hope that helps... :)

If you need more help let me know.

Please advise. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Upgrade all the images and overwrite the old images. What I usually do is upload everything and then if the image already exists I just skip it.... Hope that helps. :) Please click install if you use it..

Great Skin!!

Hey Roms. Got a question for ya. I'm stuck finding buttons for some of the great hacks that people have created. I need buttons for "Groan", "Thanks", and "IP". Can you point me in the right direction please? Thanks. If you're not sure what I mean you can see it in the posts. www.mobmototb.com

I saw what you said about upgrading everything but I'm not sure exactly what you're saying to do.

If you download this version it does have the PSD files and blank jpg files you can write what ever words you need on them...

basically just re-upload all of the graphics and overwrite your old ones for this style, it contains the basic buttons you need... then create the ones you need for other hacks with the blank sets...

[Roms]

I've updated the Report, IP, and Reputation buttons. Updated the zip file...

Feel free to download them from this post if needed...

[blind-eddie]

Awesome style....I installed it,all works well on my test forums. What do I need to do to get this to work on vba pages? Thanks.

Go into your AdminCP >> Styles & Templates, Choose the style you want to fix, >> All Style Options (Click Go) Then look at the "header", "footer" areas and add your complete URL to areas that might need it in the "logo" areas of the code (ie: /images/heavy_metal/hm/heavymetal_splashright01.jpg add the full URL http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images/. Make sure all the image paths are correct.. ;)

Then do the same in the "Image paths" areas... and find add the areas to add it in the CSS (Body, Page Background, Category Strips...)

Hope that helps... :)

[blind-eddie]

Thank you, That points me in the right direction. My fingers are crossed

3.6.7 has a few updated images. I will be updating this style soon. For now change the name of "navbits_finallink.gif" to "navbits_finallink_ltr.gif" in the misc folder and upload it.

Thanks,
Roms

[random1]

that did it for now, thanks BIGTYME!!!

[Roms]

Updated style to 3.6.7 :)

[PBX1]

I love this skin! Are you going to update it for 3.7?

[theshepherd]

The skin works perfectly for my first vB, I was wondering if I designed a custom banner how would I go about apply it to the style / is that something I can do considering it wouldn't be original.

I havn't applied it yet (really new to this) but when I figure out how to / do ill click the Installed button.

Amazing work here!

Yes, that's fine if you apply a custom banner.

Thanks

Well, I have to say this is an awesome style and fits in great with my site.
Just so you know I am using it on vb 3.7 bata 6 and it is working great. No Problems at all.

Thanks for the awesome work.

I running it on 3.7 and everything seems to be working correctly.

It looks the header image was stored here: http://www.seregon.net/images/bfly/misc/header.jpg , but that is no longer a valid site. there is just a place holder there now.

[GekkoPixie]

Well, thanks to PBX1 I have a portion of the banner fixed, but the middle and right portions are still MIA. Any help with this would be grand!

You are missing the center and right filler for the header. I've changed mine around a bit but it should look something like this:

<td width="100%" height="158" background="http://www.yoursite.com/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmcenter.jpg" >&nbsp;</td>

<td align="right" ><img border="0" src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmsplashright.jpg" width="400" height="158"></td>

[GekkoPixie]

Where would that code go? Main CSS? If so, under what section? Or should it go in the StyleVars somewhere?

[PBX1]

Under the header template it goes under the commented logo section. Try pasting this in:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<div align="center">
<center>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td><a href="$vboptions[bburl]" target="_self"><img border="0" src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmsplashleft.gif" width="" height=""></a></td>
<td width="100%" height="158" background="$vboptions[bburl]/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmcenter.jpg" >&nbsp;</td>
<td align="right" ><img border="0" src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmsplashright.jpg" width="" height=""></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</div>
<!-- /logo -->

[GekkoPixie]

Well, I now have the center image repeated, but the left side is on top, and no right side... BTW, thank you very much for helping me with this!

edit:

Had 2 logo sections, and deleting the first one got rid of the one-on-top effect I had. Still, I now only have the middle image repeated across the top. This is the section I deleted:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</!-- logo -->

[PBX1]

If you want you logo back in you header try this cut and paste:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<div align="center">
<center>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td><a href="$vboptions[bburl]" target="_self"><img border="0" src="$vboptions[bburl]/rooq/misc/logo.gif" width="" height=""></a></td>
<td width="100%" height="158" background="$vboptions[bburl]/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmcenter.jpg" >&nbsp;</td>
<td align="right" ><img border="0" src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmsplashright.jpg" width="400" height="158"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</div>
<!-- /logo -->

Your logo isn't the same height as the HM header so it might look a bit odd. You might want to photoshop something so it looks better. Or where logo.gif is listed, put height="158", however this will make the log look distorted.

[whaase]

Would you be able to tell me why the editor does this? And how to fix it? :)

<td align="right" ><img border="0" src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/heavy_metal/hm/hmsplashright.jpg" width="400" height="158"></td>

Well, I think you misunderstood which logo I wanted, but the end result is that I have it back! Thank you so much! :D

[Roms]

Thanks for clicking install, are you still having issues.? You might need to revert the template in that style if you are having issues. :)

[RCWF-AoD]

Perfect skin to make as my personal skin. Very good job on it, and all together would be a GREAT skin for everyone to use. I really like it, and it's got a pretty good feel to it as well.

I used this when I had my first VB and loved it.
Wish I could use it on my new 5.1.3.
I could.. because there is a guy willing to duplicate it for me..but I'm not into that..and surely not for what he is charging.
So how about it? Could the original author make this work for me?

Thanks.

[ozzy47]

Doubtful, as the author never made it work for vB4, and vB5 is a complete different animal all together.
