[SpanishHarlem]

I absolutely love this skin. Is there anyway to make it so narrower instead of wider? Thank's so much.

[shuichi_akai]

It looks nite, good job. ;-)

[Allan]

Yes, use stylevar in option to style.

[projectego]

Looks great, nice work! ;)

[project-Buckfas]

Excellent style. I love it. Thanks Allan

[Timelord]

Hi! I absolutely love this style. It looks so smooth and professional, and really helped me with a major relaunch I did for my site.

I have a question. I see you released a new update. I have made some modifications to this style on my board. If I install the update, will I lose any of the modifications I have made to it? If so, is there an alternate way to fix what the update fixes without installing the update? Thanks!

[redgoals22]

the quicklinks and search dropdown menus do not seem to work?

Bug: you can't doubleclick to mark forums read with this hack. You might want to fix that. ^_^

[LateralG]

very nice and clean

[Zowners]

This is a very nice theme. But after I installed it - it told me this: There are currently 14 customized template(s) that need to be updated or reverted. Some sections of vBulletin may not function if you do not do this!

The 14 files are calendar, edit post, forum display, member info, moderation posts, modify profile pic, modify signature, new thread, pm_messagelist, postbit legacy, search forums, showthread, subscribe, & user infraction.

I noticed it after installing this them...I uninstalled & it went away. I reinstalled & it came back. So it must be your theme. Why & what can I do because this is a VERY sweet theme & I'd really like to keep it.

If all these pages are working does it matter if I get an error message or not? Can't I just live with it? Thanks for the theme & any help. :=)

[Zowners]

I'm sorry...when I went in & checked something it said this:

CALENDAR
Default Template Updated in vBulletin 3.6.1 by Scott
Your Custom Template Last Edited in vBulletin 3.6.0 by Allan

And my site's here if it helps: http://www.thesupportgroupforum.com

[halpern]

Allan,
I added ur stype..Simply beautfil..One thing. The navbar buttons are still in french even though I uploaded the english ones. Also below the user name it says (Déconnecté)..How do I change that to English?

[Zowners]

Allan,

Since I just did this...I can tell you that you must add the english buttons to both buttons & misc. And let it overwrite what you have there. ;)

I have yet another problem however. I have the arcade mod installed & can't edit the navbar file to add the link (plus how would I add the button). The stuff it's telling me to look for in the navbar file (<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>) isn't there. Yet I can see a calendar link??? :-/

Thank you. :=)

Can we expect new updates for 3.6.2?

:)


ETA: BTW, I have the Dutch version of several buttons. Are you interested in that Allan to add it as optional download with this mod?

ETA2: Never mind.. I forgot to set the forum accessable for certain groups as a category. It shows oke now

[Yorixz]

Boy, this is probably the best free theme available at the moment, wonderful job you've done Allan!
If it was a little darker (some more contrast) I would've certainly used it on my main forum, simply wonderful.

I agree with Yorixz :)

Allan, I will add the Dutch buttons soon as an attachment in one of my next posts here. First have to check if I translated all Dutch buttons.

Any news about 3.6.2 and Chestnut?

Aren't they already in download?

[tab.com]

http://treesandballoons.com/tab.JPG
can someone help me figure out why this happened?

[adonfun]

tab, you forgot to make a category where you list your forums in. Example:

First Block (category)
- Open Forum (forum)
- Music (forum)
- Staff forum (forum)

Do that and you'll see that it will appear correctly again.

[Allan]

yes, choice Category, no forum (acp => Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager)

[tab.com]

thank you

[Nik_s3]

Nice style man! :)

I've only a problem: the buttons... :(
They're still in french... I've overwrited the button's folder with the english version. Any ideas?

Thank you

[Allan]

Replace the gif french by english (check the folder "English Buttons")

[Nik_s3]

I've checked the button folder uploaded on the server.
For example:
the button search near the header is in french (recherche). The button bouton_recherche.gif in the button folder is in english version (search).

How is It possible? I've tried to reinstall the style paying attention to overwrite the original button's folder with the button's english version folder.

Nothing has changed.

Than you.

[michael5472]

great style thanks

[Neutral Singh]

wow!! Allan when are you opening your vb styles company!! ;) Loved your creation. Thanks for sharing.

Nik -- I had the same problem, and discovered that you also need to copy the english buttons into the misc folder -- most of the buttons reside there.

[clmazin]

Allan:

Would you consider briefly posting exactly what should go where? I tried to follow your instructions, but the style didn't take. It looks really great...I really want to install it properly!

Best,

C.

[kalleball]

in admincp, go to styles & templates, download/upload styles.

under Import Style XML File, browse Chestnut-style_vB3.6.2.xml for whichever language you want, french or english...press import

start up your ftp program and upload the images folder to your forum root, replace the french buttons with the english ones if you feel like it...

[dfe]

Hi I've downloaded and installed this style, really wonderful, fits 100% with what we want to do.

The only problem is that the image verification does'nt work when you use this style, it keeps returning the error that the string you typed in does'nt match, when you revert to the default style then it does work so I know it's not the board but style related.

How do I find this problem?

I have just test and work perfectly at home.

Do you have test with refresh image verification ?

[dfe]

Hi

You can test here, http://www.4x4forum.co.za/forum, try and register (it is still a test board I am hoping to go live tonight when I will re-import the old SMF board.)

The refresh button does'nt give a new image, but each time you try you get a new image. If I switch back to the default style then it works though, so there must be something in the style itself (maybe it's not posting the value of the input box?)

"Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment while we are testing some functionality.We will be back soon.."

[dfe]

Sorry I was testing other stuff, I will stop testing until I hear from you.

[dfe]

Ok back online and ready for you, I disabled image verification, re-enabled it again but it is still not accepting it.

[Allan]

indeed, that don't work on your premise, I will look at the next week :(

[dfe]

Thnks, I am going to disable it for now, post back here if you need to test again.

[labeldistrict]

Hi... first post

This is one of the best styles I've come across on the forums and would like to install it. But I'm new to all of this and I'm sure I'm not following the right steps to install this style. I wanted to know is there a thread with instructions on how to install the style.

I did what is posted in the first post, but couldn't get it to work.

Thank you

[Slyfox1]

Confirmed same problem!

[Antivirus]

very nice work!

[dfe]

Another problem I found is that the style is only for 1024x768 res, and does'nt scale down for smaller browsers.

[kalleball]

having the same problem as dfe is having, image verification is not working, works with all other styles...@3.6.2

Admincp--->Styles & Templates--->Download / Upload Styles--->EITHER upload the XML file from your computer:
Merge Into Style - (Creat new style)
Ignore Style Version - No

:classic:

[Fallen Day]

It's also Includes instruction=)


Installation Instructions:

Step 1: Open the "upload" folder. Upload the /easyaction folder including all of the subfolders and files to your forum's root directory.

Step 2: Login to the vBulletin admin control panel, usually at /admincp, and under "Styles & Templates" select "Download / Upload Styles"

Step 3: There should be a section titled "Import Style XML File." It is IMPORTANT to fill in the bubble next to "Ignore Style Version" otherwise the skin file might not install.

If you would like to use the fixed width version, please import the included fixed.xml style file.

If you would like to use the fluid (expandable) width version, please import the included fluid.xml file.

Description:
In "imagereg" template, find:

Add under:

<input id="imagehash" type="hidden" name="imagehash" value="$imagehash" />

[tansu]

How about adding new links to navbar?
How to do that?

[kalleball]

great allan...will update it when i get home ;)

tansu> just make new images with the psd's...add them to the navbar...quite easy...

http://alteracdeviants.org/

can't have too many though, thinking about removing FAQ or something...

[tansu]

Hi kalleball,
I am not good at php, I added simple links with the default style before but this looks pretty hard to me,
I couldnt even find the other links in navbar template,
İn header template I found them but I can only change an existing link to another, for example I changed FAQ to downloads..
But I have to add new links, I am ok with psd's but I couldn find how to put them in the code, esspecialy "over" ones..

[kalleball]

say you want to add a forum button like i did...find

<!-- Inscription -->

in the header template...

copy paste and change the stuff you need to change such as...

<!-- Forum -->
<td width="93">
<table width="93" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td style="background:#FFFFFF url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_forum.gif);"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/" rel="nofollow"
onmouseover="JSFX.fadeIn('forum')"
onmouseout="JSFX.fadeOut('forum')"><img
src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_forum.gif" name="forum" width="93" height="40" border="0" class="imgFader" id="forum" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<!-- /Forum -->

that'll get the image in the navbar...to make the rollover work you'll have to go to headinclude...find

JSFX.Rollover("inscription", "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_inscription_over.gif");

copy paste...like

JSFX.Rollover("forum","$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_forum_over.gif");

think that's it...

[tansu]

@kalleball, Thank you very much for your effort. I really need this.
Thanks

[tansu]

Hello from the problem child of this style:D
Now, one more thing to go...
Board looks great.. but when I click to a link, or refresh a page, board mainly expands and comes to original size again..
I hope I expressed correctly

[kalleball]

i think you'll have to explain a bit, really hard to tell what kind of problem you're having.

[marcos_]

Hi Allan

moderator column isnt fixed ( static)


moderator's nicknames change its pixels

[tansu]

i think you'll have to explain a bit, really hard to tell what kind of problem you're having.
sorry for the images but there is no easy way of telling this..

As you can see in the first image, it is normal and I love it:) Look at the arrows..

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/8156/untitled3kn8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

When I click any link in the forum it moves to right, look at the arrows there is no space there. This happens for a second only but very annoying.. everytihng moves..

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6929/untitled4tr6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

There are Zoints SEO, Zoints Tags, and some little hack on the forum. I add one extra button to navbar. I dont remember if it was still moving before adding the extra button. Main Table Width is %100
Any ideas?

[MSheraz86]

Thanks for this skin!! looks wonderful!

Only problem I had was with the header lol, it's fixed and now as I said it looks wonderful.

Great work Allan, you did an awesome job!

Feedback: Let other languages be the add-ons and let english be the default buttons otherwise the majority of people will be changing buttons around lol :D.

[WritersBeat]

Thanks to those who click :)

[Adrian Ko]

What an amazing skin. I found it straightforward to customize. I chose this because we're an academic site, and it was difficult to find something that I could adapt to our aesthetic style. Many layouts try to reach out and grab the attention of your skull. What we were after was a template that allowed the look of our organization to transcend that of the interface. We wanted a minimalist approach. I also need this to be simple, because like many of you I only have to decorate vB when all older templates are no longer compatable with the latest release of software, making each upgrade a learning curve.

Our look had already been established. Under our previous version (2.3 -- yeah, I know, we didn't upgrade for a very long time) I had limited success.

Now with v.3.6.2, a lot can be done directly in the AdminCP instead of me hacking the files directly.

This is what I've done with it, and it only took me a few days.

My main site is http://swordforum.com/ -- so the challenge was to customize Chestnut to look like my main site.

Here are the results:

http://forums.swordforum.com/

The only significant code changing was with the background image aligntment and positioning -- that was done in the CSS file. I kept the "left.gif" and "right.gif" as transparent GIFs with a 1 px vertical line to give the layout an outline. Keeping them also created some fake left- and right-padding which ended up looking nice.

I like the mouse-over fades, so I customized it, so different antique swords appear. I also customized the navbits to use swords instead of folders.

So here is a bow of respect to the Chestnut author! Merci beaucoup, Allan-san!

P.S. One bug I found was that if you have a forum category that serves as its own lone forum, the layout is stretched extremely wide. To solve this, I created a forum category and move that forum as a child of that category. Once I did this, the forum listing was the same width as the other boxes.

[Allan]

Very good adaptation, congrat ;)

[maxicep]

i'm getting empt column . when do my style Main Table Width %90.

i smalled my logo and this error continue.

what can i do now?

[MSheraz86]

^^ make it 900 that might help. I had the same problem. Percentages won't help in this case, u'll need to use pixel measurements. If 900 is not right then make necessary adjustments accordingly like 905, 890, 910 etc, whichever works out for u.

Hope that helps :)

[maxicep]

i want to style smaller than 900.

i want to use like Table Width %90. what can i do ?

[cavyspirit]

where is class vb_postbit defined?

Also, here are two buttons I created. One for the Give Thanks hack and one for my photopost galleries:

[project-Buckfas]

I need to add a "home" button to link to vbadvanced (1st button on the left of navbar), I'm not sure how to do this with the rollovers.

Anyone any ideas please?

Thanks,

no idea...but i'd guess it's this stuff doing it...

<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search", true); </script>

name of that particular menu is navbar_search...which you find in vbulletin_menu.js...in /clientscript/...at the top of that script there's some tutorial about making new ones...i'm sure you can figure it out...

[cavyspirit]

I'm getting jsfx errors when using the style for PhotoPost. Obviously, it's not finding the javascript. How can I fix this?
Thx

[Akagi]

Is there anyway to edit this style to add in a sidebar?

[cavyspirit]

My style isn't quite ready for prime time yet. Still working on it, but I used most of the 'left' column hack:
http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/index.php?styleid=6

I plan on totally removing the top nav bar. I moved all the nav to the left column.

[MSheraz86]

I uhhh... think you have a typo here Sheraz...

http://www.themobilefactor.com/random_images/_rand_3.gif

What typo?? the spelling in the image you're pointing at ^^^ is correct

"The Mobile Factor" :) no incorrect spelling there lol.

Anybody else having a problem with the ibProArcade on this skin? those who have that mod check out "Your Favourites" section of your arcade, mine comes out incorrect :(. I dunno if its a skinning issue or Arcade.

Edit: Oh Greg, I think you were talking about the C and R in Factor :p lol that's a C for sure, it looks like a r I know but it's a C for sure.

[project-Buckfas]

Works fine in the arcade for me.....

[firewars]

Any word on vB 3.6.3 compatibility? :)

[Allan]

Yes :)

i will it upgrade soon ;)

[MSheraz86]

The skin comes out like this for me on this skin :(

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=problemok6.jpg)

How can I fix this? I don't think it's a problem on arcade's side, it may be a skinning problem. The "Your Favourites" page works on other skins but only this skin comes out like this.

The skin comes out like this for me on this skin :(

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4163/problemok6.th.jpg (http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=problemok6.jpg)

How can I fix this? I don't think it's a problem on arcade's side, it may be a skinning problem. The "Your Favourites" page works on other skins but only this skin comes out like this.

It's not style problem, look here (http://www.vbulletin-ressources.com/forum/arcade.php).

[kalleball]

i hadn't noticed it before....don't think anyone uses the favourites but i have the same messed up layout as msheraz...not only in chestnut but also in the vbdefault...so...bring it up somewhere else...i cba =p

[MSheraz86]

It's not style problem, look here (http://www.vbulletin-ressources.com/forum/arcade.php).

I clicked on the link but I don't understand French or whatever language is used there :p so I'm not able to follow what you're trying to explain to me.

So it's not a skinning problem? that's cool then but any idea at all if it can be resolved cause its only occuring on this skin, the other skins work fine with arcade.

[Allan]

Any word on vB 3.6.3 compatibility? :)
Style for vB 3.6.3 add in archive ;)

[projectego]

Awesome! Thanks again, Allan. ;)

[HuangA]

Mine turned out like this (3.6.2)

55856

Initially I thought it could be vBSEO or other plugins I've installed that was causing the problems. But after I disable plugin globally via config.php, it became evident that it wasn't the case. I chose "Create New Style" with "No Parent Style" when importing, so it wasn't carrying anything over from my modified base vBulletin style.

I'm not sure what is the cause, but looking at the HTML, and passing it through validator, it seems to be complaining about bad placement of a few HTML elements. Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause?

[DomP]

updating to 3.6.3 gives error, xml was created for 3.6.2.. I am 100% sure I picked the right xml file. I ignored the styl eversion, do i have the right version now?

[firewars]

Same here, says it's for 3.6.2.

[Allan]

I made this for myself but for those looking for a home button to their vbadvanced or other portal, Here is the home button....

I just reinstalled chestnut with 3.6.3 and got:

is the error message I get when I visit the avatar page in CP. Anyon else has this too?

ETA: all other pages on the forum show without error

[Allan]

I need a little help with the "Quick Links" menu bar for this style. Can someone explain to me in detail how I can add additional menus to the Quick Links drop down bar (which templates to goto and the commands to add, etc.). I'm a new to this type of style, but, I follow instructions very well :)

Thanks
For Add a New Menu:


In header template, find:
<!-- /Membres -->

And add under: (example)
<!-- New Menu -->
<td width="93">
<table width="93" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td style="background:#FFFFFF url($stylevar/bouton_new_menu.gif);"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/your_url.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow"
onmouseover="JSFX.fadeIn('new_menu')"
onmouseout="JSFX.fadeOut('new_menu')"><img
src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_new_menu.gif" name="new_menu" width="93" height="40" border="0" class="imgFader" id="new_menu" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<!-- /New Menu -->
[I]PS: Change the texte with this color


In headinclude template, find:
JSFX.Rollover("deconnexion", "$stylevar/bouton_deconnexion_over.gif");

Under, add under: (example)
JSFX.Rollover("new_menu","$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_new_menu_over.gif");
[I]PS: Change the texte with this color


Upload the news images (in this example bouton_new_menu_over.gif and bouton_new_menu.gif), to: "/images/chestnut/misc/"Enjoy ;)

[Allan]

Worked perfectly...thanks Allan!

Merci Beaucoup!

With pleasure ;)

Don't forget to click install if you use this style please ;)

[adonfun]

Allan, Sorry to bother you again.. But I reinstalled the whole vBulletin forum to 3.6.3 and only added the Chestnut style 3.6.3 version and I see the following message in my admin panel:

I have deleted the chestnut style and installed the 3.6.3 version again (to see if I perhaps used the wrong xml file) after you fixed the missing </if> statement for the modifyavatar template, but the notice above remains. What am I doing wrong? Seems like all other chestnut users don't have this?

btw. ATTACHEMENT: Buttons in Dutch: Calender, Logout, Register, New posts, Quickmenu, Members, search, reply, edit, topic closed, home, new topic, forward.

same here ;)

[furst]

I try to do this:

Okay, let me see if I can explain it better:

Add a New Plugin using Hook Location "global_start".
$random_number = rand(1, 5);

$random_banner[1] = '<a href="http://www.link1.com/"><img src="path/to/banner1.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';
$random_banner[2] = '<a href="http://www.link2.com/"><img src="path/to/banner2.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';
$random_banner[3] = '<a href="http://www.link3.com/"><img src="path/to/banner3.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';
$random_banner[4] = '<a href="http://www.link4.com/"><img src="path/to/banner4.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';
$random_banner[5] = '<a href="http://www.link5.com/"><img src="path/to/banner5.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

Remember to change all the Image Paths to the location of the banners you want to display.

Then edit whatever template you'd like to display the random banner in and stick this code wherever you'd like it to show:
$random_banner[$random_number]



Except when I create the plug-in and insert $random_banner into one of the templates, all it displays is the word "Array" and not the rotating banners.

Little help please.

Hello

I'm running into something similar. First off.. I love this style. Great job!

The problem I'm having is when I add a new forum, it appears to be broken out of the table. All child forums under the main forum look good.

I'll attach a screen snap.

yes, choice Category, no forum (acp => Forums & Moderators => Forum Manager)

Hello

I apologize, but I'm not understanding that?

Thanks
hanji

[rise888]

what he means is:
go to your forum manager, then manage forums, then edit the setting for each of your forum setting - then under the part that says "act as a forum" select "no" and it will act as a category.

however, this hides the 'most recent' post section on the forum display page

[quiescent]

Any idea why it looks like this?

http://www.nobsnetwork.net/index.php

[quiescent]

My bad, just read through and got it fixed. Is there any implication if you set it as a category?

[adonfun]

If you set a forum as category, then you must add a regular forum to that category, otherwise it will show not good.

[grandfso]

How's the work going on the expanded(100% width) version?
btw, is there any chance of getting all fonts a little bit smaller?

Great skin, installed.

Hope will also make a fluid version soon indeed, think I will like it also, merci!!

Thanks!

I've got a forum without a category at the top of the forums and it's expanded wide. Any pointers as to how I can fix it would be great :)

Hi Sres,

I have seen this before when I used this style. It has something to do with your first forum and categories. Check it out and see if you forgot to set a forum to Category. Maybe its the "The Mended Drum" forum or the one that comes after it.

[Sres]

It's because there is no category Adonfun, however that is a valid forum layout and I'd be grateful if someone can tell me what I need to edit (it's confusing in the styles section), as all the other themes for the site handle it correctly.

[Sres]

Actually I just noticed what is missing, it's the Forum Last Post Threads Posts header section, I'll compare it against my other themes to see if I can rectify it.

[adonfun]

Sres, try to change it into a category just to see what happens.

Some other people in this thread had the same issue and selecting a forum as category solved their problem. If this doesn't solve the issue on your board then someone else might have the answer for you.

[Sres]

I've solved it by adding the forum last post thread header, however there is now a fault at the bottom (only visible to admins) I can't find where the style gets $forumbits from, where the problem lies.

[Sres]

Ok, sorted it to my liking now, it's not perfect, but it allows you to have forums without categories now.

[Sres]

Totally loving the style!! thx!

Hope will also make a fluid version soon indeed, think I will like it also, merci!!

It's easy to make your own fluid version.

Open up the xml file of you choice (Chestnut-style_vB3.6.4.xml)

Search for this line in the XML file
<template name="outertablewidth" templatetype="stylevar" date="1156846388" username="Allan" version=""><![CDATA[950]]></template>

Replace with this line

<template name="outertablewidth" templatetype="stylevar" date="1156846388" username="Allan" version=""><![CDATA[100%]]></template>

All I've done is change the width (which was set to 950 to 100%. Then just upload the XML in the standard way and name it Chestnut Fluid.

**Installed** my forumites love this theme!

[Allan]

More easy, AdminCP => Style & template => and choice chestnut, in stylevar, check the first value, on top, and change to 100% ^^

[Sres]

Didn't know that thanks :)

I've noticed that the none fluid site gets squashed if you add it too vbadvanced, it looks a shambles in the UserCP / Avatar section, I didn't know how to change the number of avatars it shows in the Uploaded Avatar section, if it showed 4 instead of 5 it would be great.

I alsoo noticed that you've hard coded the width in a number of areas like showthreads etc, this doesn't help with vbadvanced as it pushes it all out on the right and if an image is too large for the page it also cuts it.

[chrisfay]

Fantastic style! By far the most professional I've seen....Installed

[Allan]

Thanks :)

[flindersredclaw]

nice style but odd things all over it, could be from mods but have un-installed mods and installed this style on a freshly upgraded to 3.6.4

I'm having a really weird issue with the menu bar.

For someone not logged in the images don't align like they should. But the "Register" button appears as it should, the rest of the buttons to the right do not.

If you're logged in it all appears as it should.

If not, well, you can see the image I've attached.

Dang, that was a stupid, stupid, issue.

Just the spacing of my code, it wasn't parsing it correctly so it wouldn't work.

So, no need to worry. Sorry about that. I'll be clicking "installed" soon as I roll it out to my production forum from my testing site here shortly. :)

[Red Spider]

Best style on here, 5-5 :D

[mtlcore]

Installed but still get french buttons? Aide-moi svp. ;)

[talenak]

I'm having trouble adding the vbadvanced buttons for Home and Forums.

How do I add these buttons so that one shows up at the portal and the other shows up at the forums?

mtlcore: go to the folder with the english buttons and just replace the french buttons in their respective folders with them.

Hello

I just came here just to mention that. Can we have a button that says 'Quote & Reply' instead of just 'Quote'.

Thanks!
hanji

I actually used the psd files that came with it and created a button that said reply to replace the quote button myself. named it the same as the quote button (which I think is actually reply, lol) and switched it out. It only took a couple of seconds.


If anyone has vbadvanced with this style could you please help me with the buttons (on the navbar)? I am having humongo difficulties figuring it out myself.

[talenak]

Nevermind, we got our buttons on.

Now we have another issue. lol When you rollover the UserCP button the rollover image shows up over the home button instead of where it belongs...

norollover shows the buttons where they are. the other (although printscreen doesn't capture the mouse) is what happens when I put my mouse over the UserCP button.

[dbirosel]

I love this style. Clean, smooth, different, love it. But i'm having a problem adding new forums. The new forum becomes out of sync and all messy. What's going on?

Hi my darling Allan :) Very nice style. A work of professional :p

You have the style which has most of installs now :D

[Michael_Jim]

Hi,

it's a very good style.
But I'm having a little problem.
See the screenshot. I don't know why that's happen. I'm using vB 3.6.4.
Also I'm missing a "forum_link.gif" and "forum_new_lock.gif"

Michael_Jim

[talenak]

I get all excited when there is a reply hoping it will help solve my weird UserCP roll over problem.

Michael_Jim, something got reverted. You can either reinstall the skin without reverting the 15 lovely templates, or you can go into main css.

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Main CSS (from the drop down beside chestnut)

Go to "Category Strips" and copy the path that's in the () (I changed mine so I can't remember the default)

Keep scrolling down to "Popup Menu Controls" and replace the path that's in there.

It should look like: #869BBF url() repeat-x top left

with the same path as category strips in the ()

[talenak]

aaand. fixed my own problem again, I didn't have the buttons "id"d properly.

[dbirosel]

The problem i am having is that when you click the parent root of a forum the template get's all messed and adds another row a blank forum, as you can see in the first pic.

2nd pic, it gets totally deranged and nasty looking..

That part of the forum is invisible and used as a link for the navbar.

[andrewkhunn]

Allan, I was wondering whether or not this style has thread ratings viewable on the forum indexes or not. I have thread rating enabled on my forums, but below the Rating area in the forum, the only icons I ever see are those denoting a stickied thread.

This makes me think that there is some code missing to make thread ratings display in the forum index. Any help?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just had the minimum amount of votes to show thread rating set too high. Sorry. :)

[2meplie]

Allan, I have a question for you. I installed vbadvanced on my forum and I am using your style. on the portal page, if I remove the navbar, the search and quick link buttons don't work. They both have a drop down menu and it seems to do a problem. I tried it with other styles I have on my forum as well and they don't do that. Any idea?

REALLY great style BTW :)

[BBProductions]

[Allan]

No Problem with vB 3.6.5 ;)

[milsirhc]

Excellent skin! One of the very best I have seen.

I'm brand new to vbulletin but this is the first skin I have installed!! (and I meant installed!)

One question Allan,

In the legacy postbit section, say, if I want to create a image (like stripes) to fill up the entire left side, how do I go about doing that? or how do I change the color of the left side, so it will be different? (current my alternative 1 and 2 is the same color..)

[2meplie]

hEllo again,

Have another question. I realized that if the image is too big or, for examples the smilies box, it goes out of the box. I still can see the rest of the image but some of my users can't. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.

Many Thanks for this skin Allan.

I have installed this on my very first forum site and also is the very first skin which I customize (like mad). I enjoyed your skin elegant design and also has learnt lots from it.

Thank you once again! (If only they have skin of the month! I'll vote you for sure!)

How do I add a reply button in the private message section? Peoples find the quote button confusing.

Allan,great style! one question... I added a google map backgraound and the background doesn't go all the way to the forum - there is a bar of color as you can see in the attached pic. How can I get the background all the way to the forum?

Change the overall width to 100% as mentioned here in this thread earlier. No need to pay for that. ;)

How and where?

[dbirosel]

More easy, AdminCP => Style & template => and choice chestnut, in stylevar, check the first value, on top, and change to 100% ^^
Nevermind found it. thanks!!! love it alot!

[TheFocusElf]

Just wanted to thank you. I transformed this skin, using it as a basis for my Frank Herbert and Sons discussion forum on the history, symbolism, politics and philosophy of the DUNE universe. Made for such a nice base skin to build upon. Beautiful colors, options, buttons, everything!

Hi Allan,

this Style is fantastic. 3 days ago I started working with vBulletin and I will change my running Board soon to it.
I think I will use your style as standard there.
It's a german Board so i have to translate all the Buttons into german.
Of course it's no problem to do this with your psds but maybe you have the complete set as psd so I just have to change the buttons, press "save" and they will be automatically saved into the correct names?
If not it's absolutely no problem, I will do this anyway ;)

Am I allowed to share the germen buttons with other Users in this Thread and maybe also to set a Link in a german Supportboard? I think I will not be the only one this would be useful for.

Regards

Andr?

My members are complaining that the texts is way to light and seem to be all cluttery. Anyone out there that can help me darken out the colors the color scheme? I'm willing to donate a couple bucks for someone to help me with this. PM me. :D (must have experience with Chestnut style)




Thank you!!

[TheFocusElf]

As it turns out I am now having some trouble. Perhaps someone will assist:

Ok, when I posted my kudos and thanks, I only had one ROOT forum folder, That is to say:

|-------------------WIDTH-------------------|
PARENT 1
-- CHILD 1
-- CHILD 2

Now the error occurs when I add a new PARENT forum...

|-------------------WIDTH-------------------|

PARENT 1
-- CHILD 1
-- CHILD 2

|--------------------------------------WIDTH--------------------------------------|
PARENT 2
-- CHILD 3
-- CHILD 4

When PARENT 2 is added, the TABLE WIDTH goes all hectic, and seems to be fluid rather than fixed. This looks horrible.

What would cause an inconsistency such as this? Deleting the PARENT 2 structure restores the shape and dimensions of the DEFAULT Chestnut settings.

[TheFocusElf]

For the record the problem with the Additional forums appears even after a FRESH import.

I am running 3.65

[ThePiston]

anyone figure out how to get a % width without it looking weird?

[2meplie]

ok guys I need help ASAP.

I added a new button for a link to the chatroom I want to add. Here is the code I added:

<!-- Chat -->
<td width="80">
<table width="80" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td style="background:#FFFFFF url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_chat.gif);">
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/" rel="nofollow"
onmouseover="JSFX.fadeIn('chat')"
onmouseout="JSFX.fadeOut('chat')"><img
src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_chat.gif" name="chat" width="80" height="40" border="0" class="imgFader" id="chat" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<!-- /Chat -->

Now, here are the chat company's instructions. I don't understand how to do this since I am on a custom style.

Step 8.1.

Scroll (or use your browser's Find feature) to find the following code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Just below the above code, add the following:

<!-- START NEW PARACHAT CODE -->
<td id="chat" class="vbmenu_control">
<a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools">$vbphrase[parachat_link]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("chat"); </script></td>
<!-- STOP NEW PARACHAT CODE -->

Step 8.2.

Scroll (or use your browser's Find feature) to find the following code:

<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / header quick search form -->
</if>

Just below the above code, add the following:

<!-- START NEW PARACHAT CODE -->
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<!-- chat menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="chat_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[parachat_embed]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat.php?$session[sessionurl]&do=popup" target="parachat" onClick="window.open('chat.php?$session[sessionurl]&do=popup', 'parachat', 'width=600,height=400,status=no,scrollbars=no,menu bar=no,resizable=yes'); return false"> $vbphrase[parachat_popup]</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / chat menu -->
</if>
<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
<!-- STOP NEW PARACHAT CODE -->

Then, after that, I want to be able to display the number of users chatting. I need to do that:

Double-click on navbar to edit the template. Scroll (or use your browser's Find feature) to find the following code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

Just below the above code, add the following code.

<!-- New ParaChat Code -->
<br>$vbphrase[parachat_chatting]
<!-- Begin Counter Code -->
<applet codebase="http://host7.parachat.com/pchat/applet"
archive=counter.jar code="count.ChatCounter.class" width=20 height=10>
<param name="query.Site" value="$vbphrase[parachat_siteid]">
<param name="ui.bg" value="E1E4F2">
<param name="ui.fg" value="000000">
<param name="ui.FontSize" value="12">
<param name="ui.FontName" value="Arial">
Sorry, your browser is not Java enabled, please visit
<a href="http://www.parachat.com/faq/java.html">our java support pages
</applet>
<!-- End Counter Code -->
<!-- End New Code -->

Can someone help?

Very nice skin, and I installed it well. How do you make the buttons English? I'm still new with vbstyles

you'll need photoshop... open the .psd that are found in the PSD folder that you want to edit. click on the layer with the Text and change it to whatever you want... then save them with a new name.

[gregfindley]

Hi Allan,

Great job with the skin design :)
Just a quick question, how can I turn the 'animated' fade off for the old/new post icons?

If you take a look at my forum, www.ChessForums.org you should see what I mean :)

Thanks again!
Greg

EDIT: Ignore that, fixed it now :)

[dbirosel]

Allan, i am using the chestnut right now. Will you come out with other colors too?? I'm willing to pay a couple bucks.

[hanji]

Hello

Been using Chestnut for a while.. damn fine style. A user just pointed out to me that there is no 'edit' button to modify posts... and I can verify that it's not showing up.

I have 'quick edit' set to yes in the admin, am I missing something? The odd thing is that the 'Site' button is where 'Edit' is normally located, could this be part of the problem?

Anyone run into this??

Thanks!
hanji

Still waiting for ANYONE to respond to the WIDTH issue on page 16 of this thread. Please help...

[Draygonia]

May I know how to add more buttons to he navbar? It gives me a JSX or whatever error saying the hoverover is not correct when the path is clearly correct. A small tutorial would be helpful! Also, if there is a way to add a second header navbar, please tell!

[santimariani]

I apologize in advance for what might be a very dumb question, but...

How do I change the header? I would like the Votre Logo ici to have the name of the forum instead. Again, I realize this is not the smart questions, but please have patience... Forum beginner over here!

Any help will GREATLY help.

Thanks!

Open up the included PSD's and edit them with photoshop. Replace the text with your own and save as logo.gif and re-upload to chestnut/misc/ and replace the logo.gif that already exists in there.

Now can the creator answer my question? :D

[santimariani]

Great! Thanks for the help!

Now I only need to get photoshop... :p

[santimariani]

Never mind... found it myself! :)

Do you want differents colors to this style ?

[Floob]

Do you want differents colors to this style ?

I would like it fully compatible with vB 3.6.5 - I think some templates are out of date?
And maybe some icons (the ones by the posts) updated - I think some are the default vB one?

[Allan]

It's compatible 100% with vB3.6.5 because thre aren't changes of templates between vB 3.6.4 and vB 3.6.5

For icones, very little is of origin.

[Style?]

nice job
