Pro Blue Style w/ tabbed Navigation & Sidebar

[markbolyard]

This style no longer available. New styles to be released for 3.7 when available.

[ShawneyJ]

very nice job ...

[markbolyard]

Thanks. It was made in a rush, so if there is anything "out of wack", please report it here. I appreciate the comment ;)

[Los]

You might get a PM again soon. LOL.

[Los]

Worked out great, thanks!

[Ohiosweetheart]

Mark this is a very nice skin - clean and simple. Just the way I like 'em :)

[jerrygad]

I like this one too. I always adore most of your skin design Mark. Thanks for sharing. :)

[markbolyard]

Thanks Peggy and Jerrygad. I appreciate the comments. Los, got you fixed up too. Good luck.

[child_abadan200]

Thanks

[Los]

I'd certainly recommend any of Mark's work. :D

[Shana]

Anyway to remove the sidebar?

[markbolyard]

Just revert the forumhome template. That will remove the sidebar.

[Shana]

Awesome, fast response.

[markbolyard]

That's what I'm here for. If I'm awake, I generally respond very shortly to questions.. of course, that is if I'm at a computer or have my phone handy ;) Enjoy.

[vcruiser]

Do you know if this will work when photopost is installed and integrated with vb and vBa?

It looks awsome! Great job

[markbolyard]

Have not tested with either, but I wouldn't see why it wouldn't. It's just like any other theme. You would just need to add the links in the tabbed navigation.

[pbmansion]

good skin

[Dustman]

Hi!! Thx for Sharing this wonderful Style!!

Can you tell me, how i can show today's Birthday in the Right side and "Who Was Online"?

Many thx, sry for my English ;)

[markbolyard]

That would depend where you want to show them. In a whole new block, or under the forum information. Also with the "Who visited hack ... last 24 hours". Is what you mean. If you would like to pm me your forum info, and a guest admin pass, I'll set it up for you.

[Shana]

Thanks again, and when I make the forumhome default there's no login box!

[markbolyard]

You can revert the Navbar Template... then in the navbar template remove ONLY the code for the buttons. Then that will give you your log in box back.

[rickyreter]

top marks...mark...no pun intended :D

[Lee Saker]

great, i have addes it into my site: http://hethongmang.com

[fortify]

its missing some images like the "go to first post" button

[40oz]

awesome style man. Any chance there's a way to have the sidebar on all pages instead of just the home page?

[zerk]

I must be an idiot... I tried editing the adsense ID and channel to my own and now theydon't show up and the pages are taking forever to load. Any idea as to what im doing right? To the best of my knowledge I only edited the footer and header pages and the adsense ID's.

[markbolyard]

All images are included in the style. I visited you forum, and everything appears to be there.

awesome style man. Any chance there's a way to have the sidebar on all pages instead of just the home page?

Well, when I make a style, some want no sidebar, some what it on the homepage, and some want it on every page.... I guess you can't please everyone. To answer your question, I don't plan on modifying this style to have a sidebar on all pages.

I must be an idiot... I tried editing the adsense ID and channel to my own and now theydon't show up and the pages are taking forever to load. Any idea as to what im doing right? To the best of my knowledge I only edited the footer and header pages and the adsense ID's.

That is correct, the footer and the header are the two templates containing adsense. Did you make a new logo image that may be a large filesize? Are you on dialup? There isn't any heavy / large images with this style, so the style itself should not cause slow load times. It should actually load quite fast.

[unenergizer]

I really like this design. The colors work perfectly with each other. Even though this skin is somewhat simple, it has it's own uniqueness. Nice job!

[zerk]

Apparently I had to restart my computer, something happened with google adsense that would not allow me to load it, it was weird.

I too am curious on how to get the who is online box back. I know it says current active users, I just also want it to say how many guests are viewing at that time.

Thanks
zerk

[fortify]

Mark try clicking on the new posts on the tabbed nav bar

[markbolyard]

Thanks Fortify, Not sure why it wasn't / didn't get included, but I have added it to the zip.

Here it is as an attachment for those that already downloaded and installed it. Just place this file in your buttons directory under problue.

[smitts]

Great style Mark!

Is there a way to move the sidebar to the left side instead of the right?

Also, is there an easy way to make it a fixed width instead of a fluid?

Thanks!

[MikeLaF8]

The style worked but the images didn't come with it, I think I messed up at some point

[smitts]

The style worked but the images didn't come with it, I think I messed up at some point


They are there... Make sure you put the problue directory in your home directory or your forums, not in the styles directory.

[j1mmy]

Just the style I've been looking for, good work, as always!

Just one thing, would it be possible to remove the right side bars completely, and them were they are usually found?

[austrainer]

Hi Mark

Love this style - my site looks great!!

Thanks
Scott

[Strafe]

Does this have a fixed width version?

[austrainer]

Hi

Can anyone help? I have Pro style installed and love it - when choosing Members List tab I get an error "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. "
If I change back to the default style i get the alphabetical list & it works

Any suggestions where I can look?

Thanks
Scott
:confused:

[markbolyard]

Well, the Member List Tab is linked to memberlist.php, so it should work. What's the url to your forum? It sounds like you may have clicked new post and not memberlist.

[twitch]

What exactly needs to be removed if I don't want any google adsense?

Thanks! Awesome skin :)

[j1mmy]

What exactly needs to be removed if I don't want any google adsense?

Thanks! Awesome skin :)

I think you have to delete those two added variable under Style Options. You will find them at the end of the page. Theres one for the header, and one for the footer.

By the way, does anyone know how to delete the boxes around 'Post Count, Join Date...etc'

Thanks

[markbolyard]

To remove the boxes in the postbit, you could simply revert the postbit_legacy to it's origional template.

As for the adsense, are you looking to remove the ad or the entire box?

[kyokushin4life]

Hi Mark. Good skin!

How do I remove the sidebar and have it at bottom of our forum? I saw earlier posts saying to revert in forumhome?? I don't know what that meant..
thanks!

I also would like the login box to appear under the nav bar..

[kyokushin4life]

Just to mention, Mark. Displaying google ads in registration is against their TOS? You better check with them just in case.

[Coach_Guru]

yes, great skin

[zerk]

How do we add "current online users" back? Guests/registered users both.

[Neodigitan]

hello and sorry for my terrible english, i have a questin. I have vb 3.6.6 your template is for the version 3.6.7. can i integrated the style in my vb version???

please help

[zerk]

I am running 3.6.6. and it works fine.

[j1mmy]

Would there be any significant effect if I was to revert all the templates?

I like the theme, but I prefer the default vB layout.

[markbolyard]

If you revert all the templates, you loose the header, sidebar, etc. All you end up with is a default vb skin with these colors.

If you want to run this on prior versions of vbulletin, just ignore the style version when importing the xml file.

[markbolyard]

Hi Mark. Good skin!

How do I remove the sidebar and have it at bottom of our forum? I saw earlier posts saying to revert in forumhome?? I don't know what that meant..
thanks!

I also would like the login box to appear under the nav bar..

This means, go to the template list, click the template FORUMHOME, and then select the revert button. This will make the template default, as it came direct from vbulletin.

[austrainer]

Hi Mark

Just wanted to publicly thank you for your assistance - I was having a problem with my memberlist not appearing. Mark was kind enough to give me some suggestions and fortunately as I had a new site I ended up reinstalling the site and the style and the problem was resolved. I get a feeling something glitched during the initial install.

This is a public thank you to Mark - it's nice to know that there is people out there willing to help when it is asked for

Thanks
Scott

PS: I highly recommend this style - it looks great!:up:

[zerk]

How do we add "current online users" back? Guests/registered users both.

I seem to be being ignored :erm:

[markbolyard]

Sorry Zerk, where do you want them to be?

You can place this in the site statistics by following the directions below:

in FORUMHOME, find:


<span title="<phrase 1="$vboptions[activememberdays]">$vbphrase[within_the_last_x_days]</phrase>">$vbphrase[active_members]: $activemembers</span>
</if>


and below that, add:


<a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[currently_active_users]</a>: $totalonline (<phrase 1="$numberregistered" 2="$numberguest">$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)


There you have it! For anyone else wanting to add the current members and guest totals, please make this edit. I should have included it in the original package, but it's not all that important to me since I can see the user names online. Hope that's what you were looking for Zerk.

[mtlcore]

Hi man, great looking style. Just one thing, there seems to be certain buttons missing, for example - forward.gif. Excuse my ignorance.

[austrainer]

Hiya

Quick question - I have a wide screen laptop & my wife has a pc with a 19" screen. With our resolutions being different she loses the register box, the login box and such off the right hand side - can this style be configured to resize or is it only for wider resolutions?

Thanks
Scott

wow man its awsome!! i wish you had a live demo for it tho, ill be using this style for my forum

[TLM]

Man i like this style, can someone update this style to work with 3.6.8, or post the right codes that need to be used for reverting. There are 5 of them that need to be customized, FORUMDISPLAY,FORUMHOME, forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost, navbar and postbit_legacy.

Thanks

[rapidphim]

Hello,
I'd like to see this style upgrades to 3.6.8. Thanks!

[markbolyard]

Hello folks, sorry for such a period of time before replying to these questions regarding an upgrade. At the moment, I'm busy with my newborn son and haven't been able to get online long enough to do any upgrades, or take custom request. As soon as I get time, I will upgrade this. I haven't even upgraded my own forum to 3.6.8 :(

Thanks for the understanding, and please don't get too upset at my delay. Those that know me know my family always comes first.

[markbolyard]

Ps: if any of the other designers can offer some helpful advice for these folks during my absense, it would be appreciated.

[salata]

Hi mark

your missing some images such as

problue/buttons/collapse_alt.gif
problue/buttons/forward.gif
/problue/buttons/viewpost.gif

can you please attach these images, love the style but hate those little x's lol

thanks mark

[TLM]

I'm busy with my newborn son.

Thanks for the understanding, and please don't get too upset at my delay. Those that know me know my family always comes first.
Congratulations Mark

I agree family does come first, enjoy them while there young because before you know it there all grown up.

[RC Attacker]

This skin looks nice but I can't see it good in the screen shot as it is too small. Can someone please post a forum that uses it or post a larger screen shot? Thanks.

[bobster65]

Those that know me know my family always comes first.

As they should. You are a good man! Take care and enjoy time with your newborn son :up:

[osso12]

Sorry if this was answered..
but is there both a fluid version and a fixed version?

[sunnycher]

Mark, I really like this style! How can I replace the googleAds? putting my banners to rotate in those spots?
Thanks!

[choiemdi1975]

I like this skin, hope it will be upgraded to vB 3.6.8 soon. Anyway, nice skin. Thanks

[choiemdi1975]

Hey, I have a question. How to remove google's advertisements in this style ? I don't want to see these. Please let me know. Thanks again !

[AKapadia]

[elinux]

Anyone know how to link the Current Active Users line in this template so we can click on that to see the active users detail page? I miss that feature other than that love this skin :)

(Edit)

Here is the mod needed i knew what i needed just had to geet code right it seemed.

<tr>
<td class="tcat">Current Active Users</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="tcat"><a href="http://forum.kiowalinux.com/online.php">Current Active Users</a></td>
</tr>

Then you will be able to click it and view online active users

[Lil Salmon]

First off .. beautiful style!!! I have a quick question... everything works and looks wonderful however I am trying without any luck to get my vbshout to work with the style... any idea on how i can get it to display on the bottom under my last forum but before the icons area... thanks to anyone who can lend me a clue on this......

-Lil'

[javo]

This style is absolutely awesome.. I love it..
However I have an issue (very minor) that I need some help with.
The style is installed here http://www.mxcrazy.com/forums/?styleid=24
I replaced the google ads with my banners and it's causing the navigation buttons to be misaligned with the horizontal bars that run across..
Any ideas?
You can see a couple of examples if you open that page and hit refresh a couple of times...

Thanks

[javo]

Anyone?
Also has anyone created the missing images?
Thanks

[javo]

This is a really awsome style.. Is there anyone that can help me?
This has to be something simple but I can not figure it out..
I would really appreciate some help..

Thanks

[Gerrit Twynstra]

Exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks a lot!

[Spank]

How would one go about creating a banner that is the width of the page integrated with the tabs?

[javo]

Does anyone have the PSD's for the missing images?

The alignment issue seems to happen in IE7 and not Firefox. In IE the Horizontal bars run straight through the navigation tabs. In Firefox it looks normal.

Any advice?

[Spank]

not suppoerted anymore =(

[too_cool_3]

I just tried installing this on vB 3.6.8 and it said:

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.6.8
File version: 3.6.7

can it be updated to work with .8 or am I just doing something wrong????

[Spank]

On the section Styles & Templates>Download / Upload Styles>Import Style XML File. There's an option that reads:
Ignore Style Version Use style file even if it was created by a different version of vBulletin?

just click yes and it should work fine.

[too_cool_3]

ok, thank you very much Spank... so even thought it was made for .7 it should still work with out any problems on my .8 install?
Anyone on here have this skin installed on vB 3.6.8? Hows it running?
Thx

i did use it once on my place and it worked fine ;)

[asandhanam]

I just installed this one. But how to make this the default style?

[tryance]

On this style, it shows up my google ads...where are these found in the templates? I had used ultimat side columns before int he defaut style...is this where it got it's info? If so, why didn't it grab the other stuff I had int he ultimate side columns info...my links I had posted in it in the default style? how can I fix this?

Also, all my links didn't show up in the nav bar...why? There are other things missing too, how can I add these back in this style? Like the show who's been online today and visitor report, etc.

[Fungsten]

I just installed this one. But how to make this the default style?

AdminCP - Vb Options - Language and Style Settings.

The default style selection is the second one down.

On Edit:

Where is the current time listed? I've looked and can't find it.

[markbolyard]

I have just updated this style to 3.6.8 for those that are interested. I am going to try and work my way through the styles I've released and get them all up to date. Enjoy.

[maclean_cherry]

Very nice!!!

What's the optimal size of the banner? I've got a 650x130 in there but would ideally like it a bit bigger..

[markbolyard]

264 x 95 is what the existing logo size is. I see you added the larger logo / banner, but threw off your navigation, probably due to a extra div tag in there.

[mark|3]

hi mark any way to allow the template to accomodate the blog? How do i go about creating a blog link as one of the tabs. Any fixed template for this layout?

Thanks

p.s.. GREAT Design :D simply love it

[cuphongle]

when surfing on firefox, it doesnt fit the window, like it shows the scroll bar

but on ie, its fine

[sqzdog]

Hey Mark-

I just added the Advanced PayPal donate system on my problue installation. It is telling me to add the following code to the navbar template to make the buttons show up, but it isn't working. Can you tell me what to do to make this show up on problue?

2. OPTIONAL (for some customized styles)
Open template "navbar" and add "$cyb_paypal_donate_link" after "vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>"
3. OPTIONAL (for some customized styles)
Open template "navbar" and add "$cybpaypal_donlist_link" after "vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>"

[markbolyard]

mark3: You should be able to set this to a fixed width by changing the width in the styleVARS section of the style. As for a wordpress theme, http://www.wpskins.org/ has converted this to a wordpress theme, but I don't know if they have it available for public download.

cuphongle, same as above. Try setting the width in styleVARS to a specific width in stead of 90%.

sqzdog, in the header template, find:

<td class="nav_button"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>

and add after:

<td class="nav_button"><a href="linktodonatepagehere">Donate</a></td>

be sure to change the linktodonatepagehere, to the link of your donations page (URL)

[huntrKillr]

hey mark, amazing template, i like almost all of yours. I was wondering how I would make the tabbed navigation display one of the tabs as a dropdown.

For example say I wanted one called "Features" that gives 3 options when mousedover or clicked(whichever you can do easiest) and those 3 link to the Arcade, vBookie, and Casino.
P.S. just using that as an example.

Thanks in advance. :)

[mark|3]

thanks for the reply mark :D

I have installed vbblog but somehow its not shown on the nav bar(e.g. register calender) when i use this theme? When i revert back to the default theme it displays the link.

Thanks

[mjv]

This is a simple, but great style. I was happy to find it.

The installation went smoothly, but I noticed some problems using Firefox. When I use Firefox, there is a space between the tab buttons and the two lines below the tab buttons that run horizontally across the screen. Likewise, in the footer, there is a wider gap in Firefox between the copy right information/adsense ad and the line running horizontally right above. Does anyone know how to correct this? The style works fine with IE, but not Firefox.

Also, this probably is very simple, but I am new to VBulletin, making websites, etc. How/Where do I remove the AdSense Ads? Clearly I have to do this through the Admin Cpanel, but where should I go and what do I need to do. I eventually plan to use Adsense too, but for now, I wanted to either delete them or replace them with banners.

UPDATE: My VB was set to inactive, but when I change the status to active, everything seemed to fall in place. It's a little weird that IE didn't have the problem though when my forum was inactive. In any case, if someone could let me know about my Google Adsense questions, I'd appreciate it.

[markbolyard]

ADMINCP Styles & Templates Style manager

Edit forumhome / and header, replacing the adsense code with your banner codes. If you need help, you can PM me with a temp admin login, and I can do it for you. References available at markbolyard.com or by the others I've helped in the style threads of mine.

[mjv]

hi mark,

thanks for the reply. i was able to figure it out on my own, but I do appreciate that you took the time out to help.

there are some problems though. header and footer ads are gone, and I was able to take out the google advertisment on the side. but, what is strange is that there is a period "." in place where the table was in Firefox. but, when I use IE, there is no period.

also, spacing seems to be inconsistent between IE and Firefox, particularly when I added a test logo in the header section. the tabs are not inline with the two horizontal lines running across the screen. There is a gap. I tried various logos and sometimes the tabs are perfectly positioned, other times the tabs are right on top of the lines, or there is a gap. have you heard of these problems before? do you happen to know how i can fix them?

i'd really appreciate your help.

[markbolyard]

thanks for the reply mark :D

Mark, because it's a custom style, the vblog link isn't going to display in the tabbed navigation, you'll have to manually ad it by copying an existing tab code, and adding another tab.

I'm sure this can be done, however currently I don't have time to provide "customizations" to this style. If it's a matter of adding a extra button, removing ads, and those types of things that I can help quickly on, then I'd be happy to help. Currently I am loaded down with client work and can't offer a quick solution.

mjv, I'll have to have a look at this on my test forum to see if there are firefox issues. If you made changes, it's possible the code used isn't cross browser compatible. Also, I mentioned this style was put together in a hurry so I have not checked it prior to this in firefox. I will try to figure it out as soon as possible, but perhaps someone that has some coding / css experience could offer some advice. (See above note to huntrKillr)

Thanks and sorry that at this time I couldn't assist you a little further.

[mjv]

hi mark,

no worries. hopefully i can find someone who can take a look at the code and figure out what's going on with the gaps and the period.

i had another question though, and i'm not sure if there is a quick answer to it or not. do you know how i can display the number of guests browsing the forums with your template? i noticed that you did not include that. is it an easy fix?

Thanks.

[dismas]

Is there any chance of getting a better (read: larger) screenshot?

[markbolyard]

I just updated the demo link so you can see the style there in full working order. MJV, yes, I'll get back to you with the code in a little bit.

[mjv]

thanks, mark.

please do post the code when you can. i'd really like to display how many guests are viewing the forum.

[mjv]

hi again mark,

I just wanted to post and follow up with you regarding the code to display guests who are viewing the forums. It would be great if you could let me know how to make it possible. Thanks.

mj

[markseven]

Very nice work!

[mjv]

hi guys,

does anyone know how to show the number of guests browsing the forum using this template?

i guess mark has been busy because he did mention it was an easy fix that he would post. if anyone else knows how to do this, i'd really appreciate your help.

thanks!
