Are you guys going to release your other styles?
Some good stuff you guys got going.

I am in the process of updating them all. Hope to have them all released by the end of this week.

Thanks for the comments.

Nice styles... Take the extra AD crap out, and I'll use them.
no, I don't want to go into the template and delete, or remove it from adminCP

Don't worry, your not using them doesn't bother me at all, but I appreciate the comment. Last time I checked I was the one that put the effort into providing these FREE for you to use. It's your choice if you want to or not.

In your templates, you will see a section of templates called Ad Location Templates.

Double click that to expand the template section. That ad spot is called ad_header_logo

Revert that template, or simply delete it's content, or replace with your 468x60 banner, and save.

Note: All that ads are located in these templates:

ad_header_end
ad_header_logo
ad_navbar_below
ad_showthread_firstpost
ad_showthread_firstpost_start

I suggest you simply delete the adsense portion only, that way if you ever run ads, you will still have the style part of the template so it displays best.

If you want to use CMPS with this you have to manually go in and move some of the images that are in the main folder to the misc folder then update all the templates. I have some dead images because of this....

markbolyard

01-15-2009, 02:03 AM

That's true because of path issues, but instead of moving images or having additional copied you could edit the templates with the full paths to the images. I'm not sure of any other way around this as I've used others styles that do the same thing.. come to think of it, most that I've used with vbadvanced have required either a full path, or duplicate images.

KevinL

01-15-2009, 02:25 AM

Yeah I just went and put all full paths :)

I thought of that right after my post. Because I used your curves style before I think thats what I did.

Thank you though! It wasn't really a big deal. haha

Digital Jedi

01-15-2009, 04:20 AM

And usually you only have to do that if you keep your CMPS home page in a different directory then your forum. Otherwise the relative path should usually work.

Just like Curve this is very nice !!!! Installed..

Tip: for those who can't edit temp simply before u upload ur style change the pub google ads inside than save it with ur pub number...

I wish u used text for buttons, for the nav bar, so we do not have to make them
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="blog.php">Blog</a></td>

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="terms.php">Disclaimer</a></td>

I really love this style and the red one. I'd love to use them, but here's the problem.

I'm a vB idiot. :o I'm in the process of setting up a forum, for the very first time in vB and man oh man, is it a steep learning curve.

I've been able to upload and install the styles. I was able to follow the instructions re: the ads. But the buttons don't show or show as a red x. I've read comments in here about it, but I'm so new to this that I don't understand some of the lingo.

Is there a style manual for idiots? Barring that, can someone take me by the hand and tell me what to do?

Thank you.

KevinL

01-25-2009, 04:09 PM

Did you make sure you uploaded them to the correct place? Right click on the button and do properties and see where the button resides. And see if the button is actually there.

Garnet2727

01-25-2009, 04:23 PM

This is what I get in properties when I right click on a red x:

Could you link me to a tutorial on how to make my own, or a file with the little pieces which I have to change the colour of. I am happy with the original style that vBulletin provides but I wish to change a few things.

Thanks anyway.

Your forum is closed to guests so I can't see anything. If your buttons are there but aren't showing try uploading them again in I think binary mode...

Anyone having trouble editing posts? In Firefox, it displays the page in html code vs actually editing the post itself. Occasionally, sometimes it will edit, but it is highly inconsistent.

apokphp

02-10-2009, 02:38 AM

Confirmed. There's definitely something uniquely buggy about this style. It is the only style out of about a dozen, that has script errors that will...

1) In Firefox: 50% of the time result in a rendered html page.
and
2) In IE, give script errors (in lower left corner).

I've reverted every single template, no change. Still buggy.

Even styles from vb 3.7 don't do this on my board. This is the only one.

midwestce

02-10-2009, 05:31 AM

What would/could I do to allow the forum to be "wider" like the default vBulletin style? This one is quite narrow on both 19" and 24" monitors running native resolutions. I am sure there's a "fit to screen" type of option somewhere that I'm not sure about.

Thank you in advance.

Nick

Edit - nevermind, I figured it out. I'll reserve this spot for any other questions I may have. :)

One question, I am using Adbrite, not goolge ads and when I replace the google code with my Adsense code nothing happens, there is just a gray box. Any help?

And when I open a thread there is more google ads from the default template and when you click on search. How do I get rid of these and add my own?

thanks

03-07-2009, 02:57 PM

03-07-2009, 02:59 PM

dxflw - You are using the standard postbit. You need to go to vBulletin Options, Style and Language settings, and select Postbit Legacy / Vertical Postbit.

adamskiii

03-07-2009, 03:08 PM

You should be able to replace the adsense code with your Adbrite code without a problem.

To Remove Advertisements, you simply go to the ADMINCP - > Style Manager - > Edit this styles templates - > Add Location Templates. Any templates that are red in this section contain ad code. This is where you will place your Adbrite code.

thank you very much:D. Just one thing, where is the code for the search adcode when you click on search, I would like to remove that as well

thanks

I 've got a little problem with this style and my vbCMS...

If you open the forum under http://www.finanz-wissen.com/forum/index.php everything looks fine. (At the moment the forum is closed, beause we are just creating the side)
But if you open the vbCMS under http://www.finanz-wissen.com the page looks like the attached picture. So the right side is completely wrong. I 've put the full url in front of the image path but it's still not working. Has anyone a suggestion?

03-23-2009, 08:56 AM

Don't bother installing this on 3.8.1. I love the style, very well designed, but it's just not working on 3.8.1.

Once I got it up, basically all of the top banner images aren't working. I uploaded them to the images folder as instructed. It's just not displaying. If anybody wants an idea of what I'm talking about here's a screenshot.

http://i39.tinypic.com/muyhk6.jpg
You installed it correctly, but you didn't put your images in the right directory. Your on FireFox. When FireFox can't find an image, it puts the mouseover text in it's place. Styles expect their corresponding images to be in the right location. When you see that happen after installing a style, it means the images aren't where they're supposed to be.

2. Upload the image folder "crastel" to your forums images directory (ex: images/crastel).

So in your forums directory like-- forums/images => then upload the crastel (images folder)

Crank!

03-23-2009, 06:12 PM

Ok. Finally got it to work. DUH I had it in front of me the whole time and could not figure it. Anyway now I have another problem and that is that when i replaced the code with mine for the adsense, then the ads disapeared and now I only have the bottom ad showing.

What can that be.

I uninstalled the template and re-installed and did the code replacement again and still the same result.

All installed and appears to work great. However, my MGC Chatbox evo display stretches way out to the side of the page so looks real bad. You can edit the width percentage of the chatbox on the evo admin panel but this only appears to have an effect on the default template on not the crastel template. Confused!

Thanks for the really good work.

The blog images appear to be missing in my download. Does anyone have them?

I don't see them in my download either. I don't think the theme supports blog and project tools, idk.

I really like this skin. I want to use it really bad, but everyone uses Photoshop to make these, and I do not have $700 to buy Photoshop so I can not edit anything I get from this website.

I wish the author of this could export the PSD files into some other format so I could use them. I use PaintShop and it can open Photoshop files, but I always get an error that the file contains unsupported features.

03-30-2009, 01:05 AM

Use gimp http://www.gimp.org/features/ it's free and supports it to my knowledge

03-30-2009, 01:52 AM

Someone recommended that program to me in the past, I tried it but got some strange error when opening the files. If people use advanced features in their PSD files, I don't think any other programs can deal with them, they are probably copyright to adobe.

john4life12

03-30-2009, 05:37 AM

Alright, I guess that support isn't really being given out but I'm still having another problem so I guess I'll try it again.

When someone posts an image that exceeds the width of the forum, on Firefox it just expands the table, but with IE it does this -

That is no issue.

Just load it and check the button for loading regardless of version. It does work. I had it working for a while. It loads good regardless of your version..

For 3.8.2 I am not sure but 3.8.1 it does work good.

It has plenty of ad space too for maximized revenue.
