BP-Brown [Bluepearl-Skins.com]

[wampforum]

just updated this to the latest version and Im getting a problem with comments left on cms or blogs. Its displaying the text as white against a white background making it unreadable.

[dgparent]

How come when I install this I do not get my forums listed tha same way as in the pics ?? They have "ANNOUCEMENTS" AND BLUEPEARL DESIGN" in the brown area then the forums listed under them - mine has nothing in the brown area and I can;t get the main forum to list in that area ?

[aussieoutdoors]

Uploaded and running it now. Looks great.
Thanks.

[hsoen]

Nice style!:up: Installed. Thank you.:)

Did some modification on it to match my forum colour theme.:p

People having problems with the text editor need to make sure they copy the contents of the 4.1.5 additional.css template to their modified skin. The new editor has been a pain for users to upgrade on dark skins

I've no idea what this means.. ? Could you elaborate. I came to ask about the white on white issue on blog comments, too.

Please visit our demo board www.bluepearl-skins.com/vBulletin4, does this happen there as well?

Did you install a fresh copy of the XML or upgrade from a earlier version of vBulletin?

[Froberg]

Yes.

I have BP-Brown two places. This recent install was on a freshly installed forum, with a new license, and all new everything. ;)

[Froberg]

Any update to this? :)

[Hippy]

seems only to happen in IE.. not firefox..

I'm confused on this one..

[Froberg]

I'm on firefox.

[Hippy]

oh my bad...
I was looking at a different style..
open up your admincp and then Styles & Templates
then Style Manager
click go while stylevar is in the drop window
now do a search for "Background for Postbit-lite "

it's #FAFAFA default
change it to #262623

enjoy

[Froberg]

For others with this issue, it's postbit_lite_background.

Tested and confirmed fix.

Thanks, Hippy. :)

Quick question for you; I notice that quotes are displayed incorrectly, but I cannot remember the stylevars - I'll search but if you're online and know them by hand could you give a hand?

edit2; seems it's.. gone.. now.. maybe it was just a glitch.. will report back if I spot it again.

Edit3; found another similar glitch, it's on posthistory.php - for viewing the edit history of posts, it's blanked out with white on white, too. Any ideas where this style var is? :)

[Hippy]

sure I can find it but I can't find this posthistory.php link on any threads or posts ..

post me a example or screen shot please

[Froberg]

Well, you need to be an admin and you need to click for "Last edited by" on any edited post. Sure it's admin only, but figured I'd note it! :)

[Hippy]

Admin yes.. but I don't see last edited by
this is a quest to fix this now ..

[Hippy]

ok..open
posthistory.css

and find
#postlist li {
background:rgb(250,250,255) url({vb:stylevar imgdir_gradients}/form-control-gradient-alpha.png) repeat-x bottom;
border-bottom:solid 1px rgb(203,209,251);
and replace with


#postlist li {
background:rgb(51,51,44);
border-bottom:solid 1px rgb(86,85,69);


better yet

[Froberg]

Sorry, been a bit of a long day at work.

Tested and confirmed fix. :o)

[Sean James]

Thanks Hippy for helping out while I was away.
I also made these 2 changes to my demo board.

Updated to work with vBulletin 4.1.7

[Hippy]

thanks for the update sean james..
what am I missing here with the members profile.. color issues ..

thanks

[Sean James]

No problem mate, you will need to customize your profile using the adminsitrator option.

Pretty much you visit your own profile page (admin account) and you will see a box on the right hand side saying 'customize'

[Hippy]

yes but it's now defaults in every style to the default colors ....

I see the customize box that hasn't changed..

I see as always set as sites default . but that was always there and never had to use it
that BS with more than one style ??

everyone doesn't customize there style in there profile so at least before there profile page matched the style they where using.

vb.com fixes 1 and breaks 2...
or am I still missing something..

thanks for your reply

[Hippy]

here is a screen shot of what I am talking about ..

this is stock bp-brown members profile

but if I customize it I can make it look how ever I like or want..

[Sean James]

This is the problem with custom profiles and it not using the stylevars, you style it for one skin and the others look crap. For example you style a white theme, but the black theme you also use on your board now looks wrong. And because you can't style each skin separately using stylevars there is not much we can do about it. Been requesting a fix since 4.0.7

Also try this:

https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/385682-Reset-Custom-Profile-Style-to-vB-default?highlight=style+profiles

[Hippy]

before update no edits to the customize profile..

stock style
vb.4.1.6

[Hippy]

thanks my friend..
this worked

DELETE FROM customprofile WHERE userid = -1;

seemed too anyway ..


man thanks again your like a god sent

this was very much appreciated

I know how you feel about requesting fixes..
I submitted a ticket 4.1.0and it was fixed in 4.1.2 then from broke in 4.1.3 and now fixed again in 4.1.7

like I said fix one thing break 10 other things

[Hippy]

Hey Sean
can this be looked at to see if it can be fixed...

thanks

Hi Sean.

The issue I am having in 4.1.7 is when there is a drop down menu, the down arrow does not show up. But I can still click next to the navbar and drop the menus. I made sure all images were uploaded and did it twice.

Would really like to see this fixed, because I like the template and want to use it. Then again, I checked out your premium styles and I am interested in the black and grey styles, so maybe I will wait 3 years for papal to transfer my funds and get your styles.

Thanks,

Do you have any plugins installed that are effecting this?
I am not having this problem on my test board:
http://www.bluepearl-skins.com/vBulletin4/forum.php

What is the URL to your board?

Also the vBulletin 4.1.7 package has been updated to fix some minor bugs and include the CMS and Blog XML files which are not separate since 4.1.7

[CaptCom]

Same problem as the Darkness vB4 theme.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231670&page=29

The major bug is advertising. Advertising features are simply not working with this theme. Ads that can be placed in the header, below the navigation bar and above footer, etc... don't show at all. No matter if its in the cms or in the forums.

On every forum header, at the right side, there these text "Threads / Posts and Last Post". How can I remove these text from any forum header of my choice (that means not all forum header).
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/465up.png

On the drop down menu when we clicked the username - it always has both dark background and text. How do I change either the background color or the text color?

On VM conversation, the amount of VMs always got covered by the VM page numbers. How to rearrange them so that they will not sit on top of another.
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/v5ryv.png

[Hippy]

stylevar look for popupmenu_color
change the color to #D3D4AA

the over lapping issue I have to see it at yor place I can reproduce it

the thread / post etc
can only be done per page if thats what you mean by choice
anyway
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
this is the code that controls that

<span class="forumthreadpost">{vb:rawphrase threads_posts}&nbsp;</span>
<span class="forumlastpost">{vb:rawphrase last_post}</span>

also forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

[Hippy]

if those images you add in replace of the forums is a mod you need to go to that mod and ask for that answer there

[durruti]

Hey man, thanks for the help.

stylevar look for popupmenu_color
change the color to #D3D4AA
Done.

the over lapping issue I have to see it at yor place I can reproduce it
This also happen in all free skins and the original vB skin as well, check it out.

For the code, done but with a bit of problem.
But this is not really pertain to this wonderful skin, so I'll PM you the result.

[Hippy]

i pmed you a fix but there must be a template that was never reverted since it's doing it in all skins..

[durruti]

Aye, fixed as you instructed.
Sharing the code that you gave with everyone;

To fix the VM page numbers overlapping the text notifying the amount of VMs between two users.

search for
in members.css
#above_postlist {change position: absolute;to
position: right;or replace
position: absolute;with
float: right;

[Hippy]

as this skin works for me with out the issue of the VMs between two users
and with out seeing if the templates where merged correctly between upgrades this was all I could come up with
with out being in the back end..

so these fixes most likely not needed by others..

[c0rpz0r]

Updated to the latest and now the background on Blogs is white... any idea?

OK I have template selector problems when set to the new default style.

If you select the style to be default and you don’t want anybody to select the template this does not work and the selector at the bottom is still there but you cant change the default template.

After installing the template and you go to main forum to see the template the orginal vb is still there even after in options you select the new default template

When you select the template to main theme, it works even in cms and blogs but soon as you log out and back in you always get the original VB blue color them then you have to go to the bottom to select the brown again then your good till you log out again.

The login passwords are not saved users who chose to remember will not work it sees it as a new website you must enter your password again the select remember me again.

But just a note !!! this could be a bug with VB itself as I delete the template and checked to see if the selector is still at the bottom after making the settings in options that does not let users select the templates. It is still there where is should of disappeared

UPDATE!!!!!!!

Ok I tried this when I re-installed the template, I selected at the bottom in the install options allow the use to select template and I set it to“ NO” this solved the problem with the template selector at the bottom of the page, but the problem is in the forum it always want to go back to default vb, then when selector window is not there it will always stay in default mode. If you log OUT and search the site it will be ok and stay in the new theme it is only when you log in…CMS will stay in the them you selected when chose your template in “HOME” so there is not problem in cms.

[Sean James]

Is your footer template modified? or do you have any plugins that effect the style changer

[mrt12345]

What i did is in my profile i selected the template and that seems to fixed my problem about logging in and have the template go back to the original. At the time there was no mods when i made the report.

Does this work ok with vb 4.2+?

I've got something weird going on after the update.

the New Posts, Quick LInks, etc. all the way to Advanced Search is shifted down about 2 inches in this skin for me.

It makes it impossible to start a new thread, as that box won't let you click in it and all of those links, when you hover over them you can actually hover about an inch below the link itself.

Not sure where to begin trouble shooting this.

Here is my forum page:

Did you have any out of date templates in your admincp panel?

Hi,
I would like to use your template because I love the right panel that in your Demo is the box of "Recent Posts" and "Calendar".
The problem is that when I download the folder and the xml the forum is still in the classical mode.
How can I change it in order to have like your?

To enable the forum sidebar you need to

1. Got to admincp -> options -> Forum Sidebar and Block Options and enable the Forum Sidebar option.
2. Then in admincp -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Blocks Manager > Add Block and select from list below:

* Blog Entries
* CMS Articles
* Custom HTML/PHP
* Forum Threads
* New Forum Posts
* Social Group Discussions
* Tag Cloud

[DarkCoffee]

It works!
Thank you so much! :D

Hi,

I like this style very much but I have a little problem.
I am running 4.2.1 Suite and added a banner in the ad section of the ACP.
Standard style is showing the banner very well below the navbar but BP-brown shows nothing.
How can this be and how can I fix this?

Thank you!

I really like this and I don't mind paying for it. Does it have a mobile style accompany this design? I am using vBulletin 4.22.
