No, thank you :)

[theforumist]

Nice one mikey. Might actually use it on my site!

[Ronny46]

Could one get, perhaps, the PSD for the logo and the badges?

[Floris]

Nice style, but it looks a bit too old fashioned for me. But good job regardless :)

LIVE DEMO (http://www.s4fdemo.com/index.php?styleid=8)

[Fergal C]

When I download this and try to open it I get an error saying something like - The compressed (zipped) folder is corrupted or invalid

[solidlink]

great, clicked installed.

btw, i need some help.

1. I would like to use this layout for the index page, how do I do it?
2. my mgc evo chatbox doesnt fix after i've changed the options. I have approached the mgc chatbox developer but i wonder if you could help?
3. some images still seem to be missing :\ Can you please take a look? www.sukcur.com/forums ... I think this is because I originally wanted the forums to reside on the homepage. Even so, the title image wouldnt appear and the images area also broken.

Please help. Thanks.

[solidlink]

hmm i managed to get them to work, but the header image still does not load and there are still 2 broken picture links on the bottom. please help :)

[mikey1991]

When I download this and try to open it I get an error saying something like -

For no. 1: You just have to install it, don't you? or are you talking about a portal such as vBAdvanced?
For no. 2: I cannot guarantee that my skins will work alongside every hack, I will install the chatbox evo on my testboard to see what I can do though, but it is more likely to do with the code of the chatbox.
For no. 3: I just visited your site and it looks like not all the images are uploaded, or that they are not uploaded to the right place. try putting the simpleblue images folder at: (http://sukcur.com/forums/simpleblue)

[solidlink]

thanks for your reply, but the header logo does not show up

[solidlink]

ive installed it already. hmm... so i have to use vbadvanced i guess. I mean I want to use your skin for another page, heh.

oh ya the post above is still valid, my header still doesnt show up

[Fergal C]

Thanks for reply Mikey.

Okay, well have you tried using WinRar or 7Zip?....

No, I've been downloading it from my browser (tried both Chrome and IE) and I get the error I posted above when I try to open the zipped folder. When I try to "Extract All" I get a message telling me that there are no files to extract.

I can't see where it has gone wrong. If you would like me try to install it for you, PM me with an extra* admin user account and an extra* FTP account and I'll see what I can do.

*Not yours

Thanks for reply Mikey.

Hmm, that is most odd. Tell you what, heres an alternate download link that I just upped right now, I tested the archive and it works fine.

>>> http://parlancia.com/mikey/skins <<<

in that directory view, is a Zip and a RAR, just so you have the choice to try both =]

[Fergal C]

Thanks very much Mikey, very kind of you. Installed on my forum. :)

[mikey1991]

You're most welcome Hostbidder.

Solidlink, I have installed it on your forum, it should all be working perfectly fine, as for your problem with the chatbox evo, I have fixed that too :)

Enjoy the skin!

[Fergal C]

Is there an easy way to change it so that it can resolve OK at 800 x 600 Screen res?

And what about adding a "Quick Links" button to the Nav Bar?

[mikey1991]

Is there an easy way to change it so that it can resolve OK at 800 x 600 Screen res?

And what about adding a "Quick Links" button to the Nav Bar?

I can do the quick links when I get back to my computer from the laptop.

There are no plans to make it any smaller at this time, though this can probably be achieved through a code change, again, a short wait and I'll have you a code.

[mikey1991]

Added two extra XML's both contain quick links and community dropdowns, one is slimmer, optimised for 800 x 600 as HostBidder requested, and the other is regular size, with a quick links and community dropdown, added.

[Fergal C]

Sounds great, I look forward to it.

[Fergal C]

Thanks for that Mikey. I installed your theme on my forum (http://www.businessadviceforum.com) yesterday. When I upload the new xml file, do I need to do anything to apply it to my forum - e.g. do I need to edit one of the theme templates and change the xml URL?

Also sending you a PM.

[mikey1991]

Nope, if you so wished, you could have all three variants of the skin running alongside each other, as they all have separate names in the XML files respectively, all you need to do is go to download/upload templates in your style manager, and choose the XML you wish, or just import both, they all call images from the same place, so no image paths need updating or changing.

Thanks for the link to your forum, it looks very nice indeed, I'm always glad to see my work in action.

[Fergal C]

Thanks a lot for that Mikey, worked a treat.

Do you happen to have a "Thanks" button to go with the "Post Thank you Hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=165673)"?

[mikey1991]

There should be one included, to my knowledge.

yep, here it is:

http://www.businessadviceforum.com/simpleblue/buttons/thanks.gif

(linked from your site itself, it was already there.)

I don't personally use this thanks hack but is there a setting where you can change the image path?

[mikey1991]

Aha, Got it, I know why it isn't working now.

The hack, is looking for a button named 'post_thanks.gif' and our button is called 'thanks.gif'

go in your FTP, and rename

thanks.gif located in /simpleblue/buttons

to


post_thanks.gif

[AzH]

Mikey, Mikey, he's our man, if he can do a great style, no one can!!

[mikey1991]

hah, thanks AzH, I laughed.

[Fergal C]

Thanks Mikey, that worked perfectly and the button is now displaying.

The member's profile pages (e.g. this one (http://www.businessadviceforum.com/member.php?u=1)) don't resolve completely at 800x600 screen res, in your 800x600 skin. But there is a lot of info there, perhaps this is something that can't be fixed.

[mikey1991]

I don't work at 800 x 600 you see, I work at 1280 x 960, which is probably why my screenshots look big. I'll see if I can hack the user profile template to do something about it.

[FYC Racing]

I'm having a bit of trouble with making new posts or threads...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/2.png

no icons. anyone have an idea?

[mikey1991]

That would be caused by your images not being in the right directory.

[FYC Racing]

That would be caused by your images not being in the right directory.

Thanks Mikey... I ended up fixing that one. It was actually because i set the default vB style as the parent for the SimpleBlue. Something to that effect anyway.

I got 3 more issues...

First... I'm having trouble with Google Chrome & IE and some of the icons not showing up. Works fine with Firefox though.

Screen Shots:

Google Chrome

Internet Explorer
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/3.jpg

FireFox
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/4.jpg

Second... I keep getting the word "Default" under users names. See highlighted area in screenshot.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/5.jpg

Third thing... I think it is what you mentioned in your reply. I should be able to figure this one out. But what the heck... I like pictures so here is another screenshot. LOL

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/6.jpg

Thanks for your time Mickey. Love the skin!

FYC

[mikey1991]

Right, That seems to be also a lack of the images. It seems to be calling the "images/icons" folder, which looks like its empty, from your forum setup, it looks like the images you need are in vB/images/icons

heres what you should do, move the vB/images/icons to images/icons on your server. Do the same with your vB/images/smilies (move it to images/smilies)

Etc, just don't modify any of the folders included in the 'simpleblue' file.

You could do the same with your vB/images/avatars, vB/images/ranks, and vB/images/polls, vB/images/rating, vB/images/regimage

just move them all to /images/ (remove the vB)

then tell me if it works


EDIT: OR you can go into the style manager, and where it says images/icons, change it to vB/images/icons, and with all the above listed.

I was thinking of the hard way round -_-

[FYC Racing]

Thanks mikey... got everything working now with the images, but for some odd reason i lost my "community" & "quick" links in the navbar. any idea?

FYC

[FYC Racing]

fixed it... imported the wrong xml.

[mikey1991]

You might've reverted the header template somehow.

Try reimporting the skin and doing your image path edits first before messing with the header.

EDIT: Okay then

[solidlink]

hi mikey, seems like i got problems again =\ (all of a sudden, when i logged out it changed to vbulletin's default design, thus i uploaded one of the new xml files but the entire thing kinda got screwed up *rolleyes*

would you mind helping me? i'll drop u a pm..

[mikey1991]

Done, you just needed to go to the vBOptions -> Style and Language Settings -> Default Style -> Set to SimpleBlue

[ArchangelX]

Dumb question, nevermind! Mahalo! Great looking style!

[mikey1991]

Thanks for the Install :)

[ArchangelX]

I hadn't installed it on my own forums, but I did install it for a friend's board. I'm waiting to hear back from him on whether he likes it or not. :)

I do know that several hawaii forums love this style though. ;)

[mikey1991]

That is good to know, do you happen to have any links? I love to see it in action

[Sofia]

Hi Mikey.
I don't use this style but very very nice. I like it ;) I click Installed ! :)

[Trevor Hannant]

Would love to install one of these but I'm getting a ZIP file corrupted message every time I download... :(

[mikey1991]

Sorry about that Trevster, I've downloaded it on XP, Vista and the Mac and all work fine, I'm really wondering here. Are you using WinRAR, Maybe I should invest in winzip, and use that to create my zips..

Anyway, There was an alternate download location listed, earlier in the thread, or you could go to this link:

http://mikeydesigns.co.uk/simpleblue.php

If you do download from there, please remember to click installed, thanks.

[Trevor Hannant]

Sorry, missed that link mikey.

Downloaded fine from your site this morning (still got error when downloading from here) so thanks for that.

Yeah, using WinRAR on XP Pro SP3 here. Tried the download with IE7 and FF3 but same message on both.

Thanks for prompt assist! :up:

[mikey1991]

No problems, Trevster, I'm here to help matey. Glad you like the style, thanks for using it ;)

[G_Gekko]

I want to make a request. Would it be possible to get a version of PRO with a left or right sidebar?

[mikey1991]

a sidebar? It.. could be done.. but.. It would take time and I would have to learn..

[G_Gekko]

It would make a great theme into an even better one.

Would this work with your theme http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156775

[mikey1991]

I shall attempt this, for you.

[mikey1991]

inserting any sort of sidebar is breaking the style completely.

[almohd]

Thank you

[G_Gekko]

Ok thanks for you effort. I really appriciate it.

[Fergal C]

I'd like to increase the vertical distance between the bottom of every post and the start of the member's forum signature. How could I do that?

[mikey1991]

In the postbit or postbit_legacy of the style (depending on which you're using)

find;

<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->

and replace it with


<!-- sig -->
<div>
<br /><br /><br />__________________<br /><br /><br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->

[ceege.net]

I can not seem to get the controls to show up when posting a new thread and when posting a reply to a thread, any suggestions on how to get them to show up?

[Fergal C]

Thanks Mikey, an extra <br /> in the PostBit Legacy worked perfectly.

Also, whereabouts in the templates can I find the anchor text for the "Home" link in the Nav Bar. I want to change it to something a little more search engine friendly.

I've found code like "$vboptions[forumhome]" in the NavBar template, but can't find the anchor text.

Thanks again!

It's in the header template, to make it in the position it's in.

You'll need to find

<li class="current_page_item"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">Home</a></li>

and replace the "Home" with your SEO friendly words. All the navbar options are there too :up:

ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED PEOPLE REMOVING MY COPYRIGHT, THIS IS ILLEGAL AND THERE IS ONLY ONE FORUM AUTHORISED TO DO SO, AS THEY HAVE DONATED. IF YOU HAVE REMOVED MY COPYRIGHT, PM ME AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT CODE TO PUT BACK IN OR COME TO AN ARRANGEMENT.

As you can see from the image there is no controls at the top or the right of the box. Everything is turned on in AdminCP. Forgot to mention I have the pro version of your template installed.

The dropdowns on forumdisplay (IE: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1) work! ;)

Thanks for your kind words. Glad you liked it. My support for this template will last as long as I can do it, its upgrrading to vB4 will depend on what the new templating system is like.

[ceege.net]

I am not talking about drop downs or anything like that. There is no editing options across the top like there is in your demo, or the smilies showing up.

The bold, italic, underline, center , adding a link and all that stuff across the top of the box and the smilies... that is what I am referring to.

Heres how you'd fix, (the template shouldn't be editted in my style)..

Go to; Style Manager > SimpleBlue Pro > Edit Templates (dropdown) > editor and REVERT that template.

[ceege.net]

OK.. I have figured out it is a problem with my install, not with your style. It is not showing up on any style I have installed.

[mikey1991]

Glad to hear it, did you try what I suggested up there?

[ceege.net]

Glad to hear it, did you try what I suggested up there?

I figured out what it was... i feel like such an idiot about it too.

It seems there is a setting in the user control panel.... Edit Options.. then Miscellaneous Options... there is a setting in there.... it was turned off there. I had been pulling my hair out all day about this and it was a simple little setting in the UCP. :eek::eek::eek:

Thanks, found it.

[mikey1991]

No templates have mandatory changes since vB 3.8.2.

If you are using 3.8.3, for now, click "Ignore Style Version".

I shall do these non mandatory changes (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1746897&postcount=2) at the weekend and add a 3.8.3 XML.

Cheers guys.

See first post on how to edit the current sidebar blocks.

[g00gl3r]

I didn't think this design was well done. Tables didn't line up, and the 'w/sidebar' just threw lots of code on the homepage. Uninstalled!

[mikey1991]

g00gl3r, There must be some conflicting mod then, as this works fine on my live site and on my test site. two installs of vBulletin (one clean and one modded) cannot lie.

You're welcome to leave constructive criticism but please just don't shit talk on my work.

Is there an easy way to use this skin but with the traditional VB Nav Bar instead of the Nav Bar format included with this skin?

[mikey1991]

Hey Hostbidder,

Yes, just revert the navbar template.

[albramj]

very nice style. Thanx for sharing it

[deadlySniper]

Nice, thanks!

[mikey1991]

very nice style. Thanx for sharing it

You're welcome, don't forget to hit install so you're notified when this is updated (one is coming up soon :) )

[Fergal C]

..Yes, just revert the navbar template.

Thanks, that works. Couple of questions - for after I revert this template;

1. How can I change the background colour of the VB NavBar so that it has the same deep blue colour as the backgrounds in your skin?

2. When I revert, the Nav Bar from your skin is still there. How can I remove it? Actually, if that is in anyway difficult don't worry about it, I may not need to do it.

Thanks!

Hey Hostbidder:

For #1 You need to go to your style manager, find "popup menu backgrounds" in "all style options" and replace it with this code:

#869BBF url(simpleblue/img02.jpg) repeat-x left top;

For #2 you need to go into the header template and remove from:

<div id="menu">


to

The first instance of:

</div>

[Silver740]

I didn't think this design was well done. Tables didn't line up, and the 'w/sidebar' just threw lots of code on the homepage. Uninstalled!

I had the Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics mod installed. I uninstalled it and then it worked fine.

[Fergal C]

Thanks for your reply Mikey.

...For #1 You need to go to your style manager, find "popup menu backgrounds" in "all style options" and replace it with this code:

#869BBF url(simpleblue/img02.jpg) repeat-x left top;...

Sorry but I don't understand that.

When I go to Style Options in the ACP, there are sections for;

Popup Menu Controls
Popup Menu Body
Popup Menu Option Row
Popup Menu Highlighted Option

Each of those has a different Background colour code assigned (e.g. #BBC7CE), do I need to replace each of those colour codes with #869BBF url(simpleblue/img02.jpg) repeat-x left top;

Thanks!

[LI Pets]

Just one note!

I have the style with the side bar, I like it a lot, but there are some coding issues that don't allow the forum to be viewed in all browsers.

So be prepared to do some work on the coding to get it cleaned up.

Also not too good to add mods from vBa

Don't get me wrong it's a nice style

[mikey1991]

EDIT:
Hostbidder:

I did it for you, I was bored ;)

Just import this XML to overwrite your current Slimpleblue (the 800x600 one), There are some bugfixes in it which I will be adding to the general one in a second, such as member profiles not being broken.

TO ANYONE ELSE DOWNLOADING THIS XML, IT IS TO SUIT HOSTBIDDERS NEEDS AND DOESN'T REPRESENT THE PICTURES IN THE FIRST POST

I don't use winzip, this might be why you are having trouble.

Hi Mikey,

Can you please let me know where abouts the code is, for controlling the distance (white space) between individual posts, when looking at a thread in your theme.

I'd like to see how the theme would look if the posts were closer together.

Thanks!

[mikey1991]

Hi Fergal,

This isn't something I've set in the theme itself, I'm not sure why the distance is between posts, but I'll research it.

Cheers,
Mikey

Thanks Mikey, please let me know when you've found it.

I use required custom profile questions at registration time.

In the usercp -> edit your details the names of those questions do not get displayed, just the fields with the answers at the top of the page under the edit password button.

There seems to be missing info or a color mismatch somewhere. This is what I see :

Hi,

Do they show up when highlighted? I currently dont have a version of this style installed on a board, I'll throw one up when I get a minute.

Cheers

[popowich]

No, they do not show up. It's non-existent text, not invisible text.

Thanks for checking! :)

Hmm, It seems that for the profile fields, it will show the "Description" but not the "Title"... For your custom profile fields you can put something like;

<strong>Are you a bot?</strong><br />Sorry, we have to ask

in the description box..

I don't know whats causing it, but I'll fix it when I get the chance.

Hi Mikey, did you have any luck with this? Thanks!

When I view my site as a member, it's fine. When I view it as a guest the width is off.

How do I fix this?

Sorry Fergal, I've not had time.

I would suggest that you do not use the sidebar version of this skin and install one of the many sidebar mods. Sorry.

Quick tip:

I reccommend replacing the button images included with these: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317207

They'd fit alot better :)

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

Your version: 3.8.4
File version: 3.8.3

anyway to get this fixed? or how can i fix it?

[ExplosiveGFX]

There are no template changes between 3.8.3 and 3.8.4, hit "ignore style version".

Hi guys,

I'm messing with the vB4 Styling Engine. I hope I will be able to update this style to vB4 for you all.
