Concepta Series - vB Flash Header Pro (inc optional Banner Rotator)

[syrus.xl]

NO LONGER SUPPORTED!!!!!
The most advanced vBulletin 4.0 header system ever released so far, with built-in banner rotator (optional). This is a product that we are giving away freely to the vBulletin community, even though it was originally designed as a commercial product. It includes everything to give you a sleek and stylish flash-based header system for the vBulletin 4.0 series. This product was released for vBulletin 3.0 series; however we had many asking for a version for vB4, so here it is with many improvements and we added many more functions to this version. This product comes in two versions, one with an advertising banner rotator built-in and one without, giving you full control of how you want to implement it on your own vBulletin. It does not use any of vBulletin 4.0?s advertising system, nor query your database or require product plugins.

Released: 06/07/10
1280 version Added - see download attachments on this mod (Wide 1280 pixel version) v1.0.1280a

XML Configuration Files
Due to the setup procedure being quite complex we have made most of the configuration details available online only. This is to allow you to jump to the areas you need to configure in detail, this guide will give you the basic installation procedure, to setup vBulletin to use this modification. We have provided links to the relevant sections that cover the XML configuration. For best results always optimize any images, this will ensure the pre-loaders will only show for a short time, if at all.

Preview setup files included
These allow you to setup the header system locally before adding it your vBulletin, however we do not recommend that you upload these files. Use them for testing only.

*Fixed width Forums only ? the only reason why we stipulate this is due to the way flash functions. This product is designed for a 950 pixel width and a 150 pixel height; you will find how to adjust your forum to this fixed width by reading the Additional Stylevars section of this guide.
**Fluid forum setup - Should you wish to use it on a fluid forum then we recommend that you use a fade to alpha on your background images, this will still allow you to use this modification, but not to its full capacity.

Features:
Import your logo and place it anywhere within the header (requires no coding knowledge to setup)
Import numerous backgrounds with numerous load and unload transitional effects
Imports your 468 x 60 pixel banner adverts with support for PNG, JPG and SWF file formats (banner rotator version only)
Over 80 transitional effects, each banner can use these on a single banner or you can set to randomize all banners
Pre-loads all images ?on-the-fly? and caches them therefore using very low bandwidth consumption
Package includes pre-loaded images and banners and pre-configured (change as required). Full documentation in Word, PDF and text formats.
Important ? Before uploading anything:
Please read on how to setup the vB Flash Header System locally, this will help you see what the header will look like before installing it on vBulletin. The previewer files are for setup purposes, they contain documentation as well to allow you to view your header before uploading.

During this installation all you are doing is replacing the default vBulletin logo coding with our custom code.
Use the Preview Files first to setup your header as you want it.
Upload all contents of either the "vB Flash Header no Ads" or the "vB Flash Header with Ads" folder to vBulletin forum root.
Please follow our links to configure the various areas of this modification in detail. Instructions vary on which version you are installing and configuring.

[syrus.xl]

Quick Note:
The transitional effects available within the header and banner rotator total over 80. These can be set up for every image onload and onUnload, used randomly or sequentially.

Just a few...Arc, Blur, Drop, Fade, Fold, Rotate, Slide, Squares, Twist, Wave, Wipe, Wobble, Zoom

Each one of the above has numerous variations...

FAQ Section:
My banners rotate once and stop, why is this?
This is a common issue if you have changed the default images, but not replaced them with the same amount. The SWF file will continue looking for images that are not available, therefore you will need to edit the XML file and delete the references to images that no longer exist.
Known Issues:'link' parameter is missing "_self" target tag on main background XML and opens new tab or window. To be Fixed in next release. Requires new main swf compile.

[Preech]

Sweet. I'm give it a run on the test server.

[goxy63]

Nice, taged rated nominated
Can I use this one just on my homepage (cms), and how?
Will try it out first on my test forums

Cheers

[syrus.xl]

Yes, you can use this just on the vBcms. You would need to create a child style of your main style. Apply this modification to the child style, then set your vBcms to use the child style and not your default style.

If you need further details let me know.

[goxy63]

Well that was quick
Thank you, will try it out asap

Cheers

EDIT: WOW - just looking at the Demo. WOW.

[Delilahs]

the instructions are pretty vague, I've uploaded the files to my root. done the file edits and nothing shows up.

I've looked at the documentation, and no where does it say as to what directory we are loading any images to, in fact, in your description above it says. "Features:
Import your logo and place it anywhere within the header (requires no coding knowledge to setup)
Import numerous backgrounds with numerous load and unload transitional effects
Imports your 468 x 60 pixel banner adverts with support for PNG, JPG and SWF file formats (banner rotator version only)

Pre-loads all images ‘on-the-fly’ and caches them therefore using very low bandwidth consumption
Package includes pre-loaded images and banners and pre-configured (change as required). Full documentation in Word, PDF and text formats."

so I assume from that, that it should work automatically, it doesn't

Help is required please

By looking at your source code it looks like the headinclude template edit is missing. This is required for the main header display to show, please check this is in place - if you still have problems, just PM me and I will look over the installation.

The 'Features' list is what it can do. You need to read the instructions from the 'Basic Installation' first. This informs you which contents to upload, depending on the features you require. It also states to use the Previewer Test files before uploading, so you can change the default images.

can you give us a complete list of these effects?

another question what about the branding free? right now what we can do with your addon?

Basically, just open either one of the folders which you wish to upload, inside you will find a "Previewer" file. This will load the header in to your browser locally, allowing you to change the images, etc before uploading the full contents to your server. The Previewer files contain further documentation.

I thought I had covered these files, maybe I didn't - there was a lot of documentation to type up.

You should be okay now. :)

All transitions are listed under the Documentation/vB Flash Header Pro Transition settings.txt file. It shows all in and out effects available.

The branding-free version will be available shortly in our store.

OK thanks, just another question:

i've changed the cc.hp.head.xml file like the following:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<slideshow randomDisplay='false'>
<image src='cc_hp_head_images/img1.jpg' lupk='' upEffect='Coarse Blur' downEffect='Wave down'>

</slideshow>

but i don't see any change onto my header ... any tip? (check here: http://fniv.it/vb/forum.php this is my testing board)

but if i change the 'values' into the ads .xml file i see that the changed effects are running correctly ...

[x626xblack]

Thanks. I got it.. Just change the images in the folders and click the preview file to see what it looks like... I appreciate the reply.

[syrus.xl]

EDIT: I gave you the wrong code, the correct code is below. I did not notice you had changed the actual in and out effect values and parameters.

Because the parameters are hard-coded in to the main swf file, you cannot change the values, only the parameters of the values. Therefore, if you wanted to use header to link to your forumhome, then you just need to do the following:

XML with new transitions and forum home page link
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<slideshow randomDisplay='false'>
<image src='cc_hp_head_images/img1.jpg' link='http://fniv.it/vb/forum.php' inEffect='Coarse Blur' outEffect='Wave down'>

just changed the .xml file with this, and now it runs correctly, so when i need to change the effect i need to put the url of my forum in the .xml file? why this isn't requested for the ads?

[syrus.xl]

where?
Your forum url is only required in the cc_hp_head.xml if you wish to link all header images to your forum or site home. It is an optional field.


just changed the .xml file with this, and now it runs correctly, so when i need to change the effect i need to put the url of my forum in the .xml file? why this isn't requested for the ads?
The banner ads uses the cc_hp_ad_rotator.xml, this file allows you to enter the direct url to your ad images, the actual link to the site you wish to link to, and of course the effects you want to use. You do not put your own website url in this XML unless you wanted to link a banner to your own website.

[KURTZ]

OK, just another question: can i change the width (for example i got a 1280px banner) and the timing of the banners? how?

[syrus.xl]

OK, just another question: can i change the width (for example i got a 1280px banner) and the timing of the banners? how?

It was designed with a default width of 950 pixels to comply with standard monitor displays, or it would cause 'side-scroll'. The timing can only be set internally at the moment, it was not a value I brought out in to the XML.

If you wanted it like this then we can provide a custom-built version, designed to your own requirements.

superb, when i'll upgrade my board (and buy your hack) i'll contact you ... ;) thanks for all mate ;)

[x626xblack]

Great work. Fixed width is killing me though on my CMS it jams way too much content into one area. Works fine for forum but not for Main CMS

They still sell standard width monitors?LOL

If you go to my site and change the Style to Test Style you will see what I mean. I do not have your hack installed but I did configure my test style as per the doc.

I'll see if I can change how it handles background images, at the moment all images with a fixed upper left registration point.

Syrus, Can you not get the ad banners to show under the rigt hand side below where people log in etc?

[syrus.xl]

Syrus, Can you not get the ad banners to show under the rigt hand side below where people log in etc?
Not sure what you mean... The banner rotator is below the login/register area.

[Delilahs]

if you look at my site, yo will see that it isn't, what would I need to do to sort it out?

edit, It's because i'm not on fixed width and very few of my users have little screens

[syrus.xl]

if you look at my site, yo will see that it isn't, what would I need to do to sort it out?
Ah I see... that is because this mod was designed for a fixed width of 950pixels, not fluid. The 950 pixel width complies to web standards for older monitor displays without causing side-scroll.

Someone else mentioned this previously, I will look in to a fluid version - but with the vBulletin CSS I think I will need to split the modification or find a way of getting it to use a longer background image.

[ProFifaLeagues]

A1 mod very happy great work Syrus thank you!

Fantastic!!! Installed Rated and Nominated. http://www.canine-chat.com/index.php

[x626xblack]

Any chance you have a version that we can set the size?

CRT's are pretty much not sold any more. Here are the common sizes for LCD's. Since you have to make it fixed and want to make sure it accommodates the most people. While 1024 is livable, 1280 would be preferred and fit monitors 15.4 and above..

Here is an idea. Two versions.. One 1024 for standard aspect ratio monitors and laptops and 1280 for wide screens.


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/05/42.jpg

[KURTZ]

1440*900 is the most used resolution onto the laptops ... ;)

[VonDoom]

I love this Mod, Great stuff. Except im having second thoughts on one of two forums i have this on. My members arnt to excited about the narrow fixed width. For whatever reasons it seems to be a fantastic hit on the other forum.

Anyways i am having troubles on one of my forums its installed on where it will go thru the rotation then quit rotating once it reaches the last image. Any Ideas?

Hi VonDoom,

That normally points to a syntax issue in the XML file.

Make sure that parameters are within single quotes, not double. All XML tags are closed correctly.

If you still have problems then just PM me, I will take a look for you.

I just setup a resolution for 1440x900 on my monitor - it doesn't seem too bad, not that I view websites at this width, I have a 24" 1920 pixel width...lol

I will put together a wider version to fit 1440 pixel width - Flash is funny with changing aspect ratio's which it is not designed for. If text is present then it can blur due to losing the pixel to pixel ratio.

It will accept non-animated gif's, non-progressive jpg's and actionscript 2.0 coded swf's. So, you do have a choice. :)

Can the xml rotator files be edited from our end to add more than 6 rotating images and 4 rotating advertisements?

Would adding new code lines underneath for more images cause any problems..?

You can add or delete images - the choice is entirely yours. I did have an example with 10 images on, I only changed this for the example. Just follow the same format as the rest and you cannot go wrong.

:)

[x626xblack]

Thats perfect. Now if you tell me I can edit the size in the same way I would be tickled pink.. If only things were that easy..

I wish resizing flash-based products was easy, it relies on coding and design. I am looking into finding a way of creating a fluid version though.

Regards,

[x626xblack]

Either Fluid or 1280 wide and you have your self a Donation. The 950 is fine for forums, but when you add it to a CMS with articles and widgets it is sensory overload with all the information jammed up in a small space.

just a question: with your hack our forum goes w/ a fixed lay-out or not?

i got this: Style Manager > StyleVars > doc_width > AUTO but i have a fixed lay-out ... :confused:

[syrus.xl]

I will add another 2 sizes to the original size. With widths of 1280 and 1440 pixels, I have already started the 1280 version.

The problem with fluid, is I can get the swf to either re-scale the image within the background, but if this not scaled in a ratio of x and y then the image is stretched. The other way is to use noScale, but then if the width is changed then the background imaged stays flush to the left, due to the registration point.

Guess I am hitting my head against a brickwall with this! :erm:

I have a possible solution for those who want to use it on a fluid forum until the new sizes are released. Change your padding on your header right hand side and it can at least center the header so it does not look "as bad". Not a perfect fix but can help till then.

I can see the changes in the local Previewer. But, I can't see the changes on my site.

Is there any way to make the banner rotator display a random add rather than running in the order ? Otherwise some banners will get loads of page views and others will get non !

Great mod though, thanks !

[x626xblack]

They are ad banners, not Adsense banners, why would views mater? At 7 seconds per banner it takes roughly 28 seconds to see all 4 banner Advertisements. how do you figure some banners will get none?

[Delilahs]

look at the settings, and change them from true to false

I have several companies that pay to have banners displayed on my site. Every time you load a new page the rotation starts all over again, therefore the ones that come last on the list (I have 14 sponsors) will not get seen unless someone stays on a page for a while.

The banner rotator can cope with randomizing ads. Just open up the XML file for the banner rotator, you will see the following line near the top:
randomDisplay='false'Just change the parameter to 'true' and banners will be shown randomly.

I tried to make it as versatile as possible, apart from the fluid issue which will be fixed tomorrow with a new width size.

Make sure that all changes that are done locally, are uploaded to the server. Flash is cached by all browsers, try a Hard Refresh. This will then display the contents of the server and not your cache. A Hard Refresh is done by pressing CTRL + F5.

[Ocean-Wonders]

I've tried all that still can't get it to display, Delilahs has even taken a look, he has it working on his and can't see any reason for it not to be working.

I have several transparent png logos that I rotate at certain times.
One logo in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one at night.

I varied the colors slightly which requires a different background image to make a seamless header (I am currently using fluid).

Anyways, my question is, will your banner system rotate in the logo and change the background as well?

i.e. I have a blue and red logo...
When the red logo rotates in, will the background be changed to red and visa versa?

The only way you could achieve this is by creating a transparent 2x2 PNG image file for the logo. And placing your actual logo on the background images.

The logo is the only static image that is not changed. The background and banner rotator are the only areas that are animated. They do not run in sync, unless the timing was hard-coded in to the swf, this was the only variable I did not bring out in to the XML was timing. Maybe, on a future release I will consider doing this.

Our support system was offline last night due to work being done. It is all back online now.

Please keep this thread just for the free-version, we cannot answer support regarding site issues on here, due to vbulletin.org terms of use.

Thank you.

New sizes yet? :-) ... I know if you had them finished you would have posted them...

[syrus.xl]

Not quite yet... I had quite a busy weekend. I did release a minor mod, but that was a very small one.

I should have the updated width available shortly. :)

Do not mind me. I am just razing you.. And patiently waiting... haha

[bart6767]

How do i get rid of the blue Concepta logo on the banners ?

Even when i add my own banners i can still see it ?

[x626xblack]

You need to change the image in the cc_hp_head_logo folder. The Logo image is separate from the Images and ad-banners

[bart6767]

Thanks but can i have it without the logo ? and just use the banners ?

[syrus.xl]

You cannot run the header system with no logo, this would cause an actionscript error.

However, if you create a 2x2 transparent PNG file and name it logo_title.png, then place it in the cc_hp_head_logo directory and overwrite the default one, then no logo will show.

[x626xblack]

I am with bart6767 on this one.

I uploaded and installed with a "test" header image.

Today I changed the image and the old one still shows. I even deleted the files uploaded and Temp edits, and reverted all. Then re-uploaded everything and edited my templates and that original pesky test image is still there. When I log into my Host ACP it shows the correct image, My website header shows the old one.

Already dumped cash and refreshed several times.

There are numerous caching areas with Flash. Try a Hard Refresh by pressing and holding CTRL then F5 - this forces your browser to view directly from the webserver, not your cache or your ISP.

[x626xblack]

CTRL + F5 did not resolve the issue

The Extended Version (1440 pixel width)
Here's a screenshot of the new 1440 version, for wider forum widths. It will be available with and without the banner rotator, like the original version. The documentation for this version will be in the package only, because it is only a width size that has changed.

Available soon...

** Please note the preview is not the actual size, it has been resized by vBulletin.org.**

[x626xblack]

Thanks! Can wit to get it downloaded. I got home and the header logo issue was fixed. Must have been a cashing problem on my work pc

1440 Version...??? Please read

After making alterations to the header in whole, I have now realized that a 1440 width will actually break a style and cause side-scroll on a 1440 width monitor. You can see the issue by viewing the '1440 Concepta demo' on the style changer at www.digitalport.co.uk (http://www.digitalport.co.uk) I could just set the embed code to resize to different ratios, but this may cause issues with text with anyone using the version with the banner ad rotator.

Therefore, tomorrow I am planning to reduce the width and take into consideration padding and browser scrollbar widths. What this will achieve is that the product will become available to suit in 3 different sizes;
Standard 950 pixel width (Standard Edition)
Medium Edition (for 1280 resolution monitors)
Extended Edition (for 1440 resolution monitors)This will stop the header breaking out on wider width monitors, e.g. laptops, etc. I do not want to cause side scroll on users forums, which is a sign of bad design. Even with all these new designed widths, anyone that has purchased the brand-free version will be able to download all 3 versions in a single download from our website. The package will updated once the new versions have been released on here.

If you already installed this product, there will be just a few changes you will need to make, the embed code will have new widths, the swf file will be need to be replaced and of course your background images will need to be slightly larger in width. The actual widths will be calculated from the forum padding, scrollbar width and browser surround.

Sorry, about the delay, but it is better to have a product that works first time than to keep changing afterward.

[syrus.xl]

is there a vb 3.8.x version ?
It was originally designed for vB 3.6.x - this version is now out-dated - but it will still work under 3.8.x https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141358

The older version is very limited in features compared to this version. We have updated this one in many ways, and it would need an embed re-code to work under 3.8.x.

[syrus.xl]

Any way to get the logo clickable so it takes me home?

The logo is not linked in anyway to allow urls to be entered, however the background area is, there is a link parameter where you need to place your full url to your home page. You would need to enter this on every line of each background.

That looks like a bug, its even on your site (when I log in=bug, log out=ok)

Hi,
I cannot see what you are referring to. The modification itself sits in a DIV which is behind all other elements. The only element the modification does cover if you use full header images is the actual header_background color. This is set to show through the header swf using transparency.

The flash header on my site is not the same as this modification, it uses customized flash animation and no header image imports, apart from the banner rotator.

[x626xblack]

He is talking about the framing of the UN PW Notifications etc... That is his VB, not this header.

When you log in, the background, hover color, and framing of these areas change. The fact that not being logged in and having this header shows what he wants proves the issue is with his style and not this header.

[x626xblack]

Another question. Since the files are uploaded on the main. How can I have the 950 and the 1280 running so I can have two styles to choose from for my members who have different sized monitors?

Well Iam having this issue after this hack is installed, love this flash header and would not like to remove it from my site. But would like to resolve this and have same looks as before regarding to top right area (log in log out...buttons are not the same, depending are you loged in or not)
This part can be hard to see if one of images for flash header is bright, also there is NO round corners even under style which I do not use for this flash header, exactly as on your forums, same 'problem'....is it cause changes in stylevars you mentioned in first post here?
If so I changed those just under one style, not another one for my forums (using this mod just for my main page-CMS)

Pardon my bad english

Hi,
Each version will carry a resolution prefix, therefore if you wanted to install all 3 versions you could, none of the headers will interfere with each other. You can already change image directory name, but not the XML files, this has changed in next 2 versions.

Perhaps this would suffice your issue. What I have done is this:
I have added an area to the logo layer, so it shows behind all image and text in the login area.

Nice! Humm...... When can we expect to see the new sizes? Update? New Packages?

This week I will be releasing the 1280 version - the actual width is 1180 pixels wide, which takes into account browser scrollbars and vBulletin padding.

I got behind on the update, due to a self-inflicted back problem! I guess trampolines and me just don't mix at my age! :rolleyes:

[x626xblack]

Thanks! Yea at 40, I try and stay away from Trampolines.... and few other things that are not fun when you fall off of them.

[syrus.xl]

LOL.. good idea - Trampolines are a definite 'no-no' for me now, even if my daughter tries to get me back on it again!

I've just setup a test of the 1280 version on my site. You can view it by selecting the "1280 Concepta - No Rotator" style in the dropdown Style Selector. I am hoping to get both done today, the branded versions and then update the store versions.

:)

[patrick91]

Looks oke but the gray is not nice. can you fix it for me in the final... (remove the balk)

Gr,

[syrus.xl]

The whole header is customizable. That area around the login/logout is just an image that is imported with the logo, so it is just an example, nothing else. All you work with is a shell, and all imagery is imported, so whatever images you use is entirely up to you.

:)

[patrick91]

O ok? that is great! :up::D

Anxiously looking forward to it.

www.gearsopedia.net (http://www.gearsopedia.net)

Hi,
It could be used on your custom style, but it would require that the forum width is changed to fixed instead of fluid. This would allow the main swf to be coded in to the header template, the two areas you currently have would actually become just one image, instead of two.

To actually do this I would need to look over your current style templates, because custom styles vary a lot on the way they are designed.

Resizing pictures is not always quick and simple, as resizing, will sometimes streach or skew and distort the images.

I like Thumbs Plus (because i am old and used to it, it has been around for many years and when dragging my box to crop it shows the measurements on the bottom. Once the box is the correct size I drag it to the past of the image i want then click save selection as... Fairly simple.. It also has some very basic image editing tools in it.

If you do not have the software you can use this site to edit. It is a little more along the lines of photoshop than simple editing, but no purchase required.

Hi,
It could be used on your custom style, but it would require that the forum width is changed to fixed instead of fluid. This would allow the main swf to be coded in to the header template, the two areas you currently have would actually become just one image, instead of two.

To actually do this I would need to look over your current style templates, because custom styles vary a lot on the way they are designed.

Regards,awesome! you have a pm dude. :D

[patrick91]

Maybe stupid question but if ik choose for header padding to 0 the header and the forum is together... is it possible to get the space there?

The 1280 is running on my site if anyone wants to see.

Just need to figure out how to make it clickable so the headder takes you to main CMS or Forum home.

syrus.xl I put my url in the cc_1280_head.xml but when clicked it opens in new tab. You may have forgotten to fix this when I brought it up last.

[bergovoy]

thank you for the link, and yea, its the distortion and auto aspect stuff that is killin me...

i would just love a program that uploads/views the picture, and you can type in 950x150 and it pops up a box/window that i can overlay onto the picture and move it around to see what i can crop...

i think that is what you said... in that link of yours, and yes, im old too.

what about the LOGO? how do i create that and or get it to be ttransparent???

everything i do in PAINT comes out opaque... and or covers up the flassh images...

[bergovoy]

ok, thumbs plus is perfect... just like you suggested, and like i wanted...

simply open the img file and enter the (transform) and enter exact size of 950x150

it pops up a cropped windo over the img and you drag it to the area you want, and enter and save...

I love it...

NOW, PLEASE... how do i make the logo so that it does not white out the imgs????

also, i will prolly remove the ads for now, but later on, i would like to know how to find and install adds

thanks

I have photoshop and am self taught... I am 40 and it was no easy task... if you have a logo you want to use i can make the transparent file with your logo as an image and email it to you. PM me for my email address, and send me yours.. I will need your logo image and what size you plan on using.. 950?1280?

PS. There are millions of photoshop tutorials on line if you ever get the software. I just goggle what i think i want to do and photoshop and find a polethera of tutorials.

Go to the sint i sent you to. Click new image, set size, check the transparent check box. then ad new layer, the new layer will be your logo. This site is sort of like photoshop, it works on layers, once the get the hang, it is easy.

I will stop hijacking this thread now. pm me.

That issue is caused by a grouped CSS variable that really needs spliting into two definitions. It maybe fixed in v4.0.4 - well, we can hope or if not we can split the CSS ourselves. :rolleyes:

ok, im makin progress using photo shop... im not sure what i will do when the trial runs out though.. hopefully i will be done by then.. hehehe

i was not able to modify the logo file that came with this mod, as i cant figure out how to edit or modify the concepta logo, the blue thing... it isnt text is it???

So, i created a new file, with the size and everything, and just used text and modifyd the crap out of it.. wow, photoshp is a bit powerful ... i wish i was creative enuf to put something together.. but for testing purposes i got something going.. and it worked on the preview program and uploaded it to the website and nothing..

well, actually it did not show the concepta logo anymore so i know the file is changed, but not sure why the logo isnt showing thru???

I re uploaded all the img files from the previewer and then all the files and still nothing...

arrgghhh

[Scan Cape Cod]

Just a quick note of thanks for this. Installed, nominated, and brand-free version purchased. I have it set up very basically right now, but as I learn I see where the sky's the limit with this one. Two thumbs up!

The Concepta logo was designed in Adobe Illustrator then imported in to Photoshop, therefore the original text becomes rasterized and not editable. You do not need Illustrator to produce the text, it can be done in Photoshop just as well, once you learn how to manipulate text to how you want it. Anything is possible really, it's just knowing 'how-to' in the first place.

Hi,

Yes, it is a versatile modification - it will be even more in the future. I am planning to bring out more functional parameters, so people can adjust it to suit their own styles, along with timing routines.

Thanks! :)

Super mod! Marked, nominated and bought the unbranded version.
Thanks so much.

Basically the header uses multiple layers but in Flash, no Photoshop.

Layer 1 = Logo
Layer 2 = Banner Rotator
Layer 3 = Background

The actual Logo layer uses a masked empty movieClip which is the full size of the header.

The banner rotator is setup to use various image formats and import them in to another empty movieClip.

The background uses the same coding again as the banner rotator but on a larger scale.

Both the banner rotator and the background importer are setup to rescale images, if they are not the correct size. The only problem with this is if you use small images they will show pixelation, which does not look good.

[bergovoy]

ok, now you are showing off... hehehehe

and im lost again.

are you saying that your mod takes images and imports them into some type of movie?

and the vbulleting header/logo is a movie file/image?

Found that after replacing
<div><a name="top" href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" class="logo-image"><img src="{vb:stylevar titleimage}" alt="{vb:rawphrase x_powered_by_vbulletin, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}" /></a></div>
With the concepta code, the forum "top" link at the bottom right of the pages no longer works correctly.
Still love this mod!
Any work around?
Regards,
Ken

[syrus.xl]

Hi Ken,
That was a bug, that was fixed. However the documentation in some packages has not been updated to reflect this. If you check the first post on this mod you will see I have added the 'top' anchor in to the DIV, in the replacement code, this fixes that issue.

All bugs will be removed in all documentation very soon. I have a new update planned very soon that will be adding further setup parameters to the product.

[Ken Sanders]

Many thanks! You guys Rock!:cool:

[syrus.xl]

The new update for this product will be released once we have checked it in the forthcoming vBulletin 4.0.4. This will allow us to make any changes before releasing it, should any be required.

Hi Animemike,
If it's a directory change then you will need to specify the absolute url in the XML file for the images. If that fails, let me know. Flash sometimes as issues on where it is placed, but it is nothing that cannot be fixed.

Works fine in vb4.0.4 Up and running.

[syrus.xl]

4.0.4 Update Issue
We are aware of an issue regarding the alignment when you upgrade to 4.0.4. This will be fixed in an updated version of the product.

We held back the updated version for this very reason because vBulletin upgrades can play havoc with additional installed modifications.

There are no other reported issues regarding this modification.

[patrick91]

Me also have no problems with 4.0.4!?

[x626xblack]

When your say alignment, do you mean in I.E? Where are we talking about, i do not seem to have any issues.

I ddo know in I.E. 7 it is putting my login area under the header.

[syrus.xl]

There is a gap between the header and the navbar tabs in 4.0.4. It is just a simple CSS change, so it lies flush.

Regards,

[x626xblack]

Thanks.. I fixed it on mine.

Hey what happen to the vb 3.8.x version of this ? maybe it was for 3.7?

I would like to try this for 3.8 as not all of us are on 4.0 yet ?

Hey what happen to the vb 3.8.x version of this ? maybe it was for 3.7?

I would like to try this for 3.8 as not all of us are on 4.0 yet ?

We did actually release a Lite version for 3.6.x a long time ago, and that was very limited in features. But it was never released for 3.7.x or 3.8.x.

To actually get it working on 3.8.x requires modifying the installation code. When I get a hour spare I will update it to work on 3.8.x, I will release it under 3.8.x modifications, so there is no mix up between the different versions.

At the moment, I do not have a copy of vBulletin 3.8.5 setup. So, I will need to do this first then note down the header changes. It is actually easier to code it for vBulletin 3 series than 4.0.x.

I guess maybe a day or so, it's mainly just updating the embed code with vbulletin 3 in the documentation - not a huge job, just slightly different with the style setup parameters.

It was changed in the Navbar StyleVars, so you need to change the following:

Click 'Save'

That's how I have adjusted it, on an update which I shall be releasing shortly.

No and it can not work with the default vb style as it needs to have fixed widths to work correctly. Now if you change your default vb style to fixed width then it will work.

[AURFSCAN]

This is a must have mod for sure. Ive set everything up and it works perfectly.

However I seem to be having dramas with firefox not showing nor rotating images. There was a post a bit further up with a member saying he had to refresh-empty cache to get it to show on ff.

All other browsers this works flawlessly, ff is really giving me the $hits. Can someone please verify that this rotating on ff.


thx.. awsome mod and paid for too :)

[x626xblack]

Works fine on FF. You can view it on my site in my sig. If my site is not working for you then you have a FF problem, if it is then you have an installation problem.

What version of FF are you running?

[AURFSCAN]

running the latest ff, Im now sure ff is the problem.... damn ff used to be good, now its really rubbish

thx for your reply :)

[syrus.xl]

running the latest ff, Im now sure ff is the problem.... damn ff used to be good, now its really rubbish

thx for your reply :)

I design all modifications in Firefox, then checked for x-browser compatibility. With FF though, many people have experienced issues when upgrading from a previous version, some plugins failing, namely the Adobe Flash Plugin.

The way around this is to remove Firefox totally from your system, then do a full re-install, this should fix any issues you are seeing.

[AURFSCAN]

thx syrus.xl will do

[Scan Cape Cod]

This is a shot in the dark, but I'll inquire nonetheless.

I have this mod installed (950 version) and it runs spectacularly. I am also trying to add a second navbar as outlined in this link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240764

For whatever reason that mod will not work. I'm wondering if there is a chance that these two mods don't play well together. I ask here because I'm not getting any response (yet) from the developer of the double navbar code and I'd certainly like to add one.

Has there been any thought of adding in code for a possible second navbar to this mod, or is that too far off topic?

Thanks in advance.

[syrus.xl]

Well, this modification only replaces the main vbulletin logo div, nothing else is touched in anyway. No changes are made to the navbar template, apart from on the version for vB4.0.4 PL1 which has a slight CSS change for 'flush' fit the header to the navbar.

I noticed the mod you mentioned is for vB4.0.3, and that may cause issues. There were changes made to vB4.0.4 in respect to the header and headinclude templates.

As for adding a second navbar, it's not the sort of modification that would be beneficial to this current version. There are plenty of modifications for extending the default vbulletin navbar and navtabs, some free and a couple that are commercial. It is quite easy to code additional drop-down menu's, which in my opinion looks better on a forum than having multiple navbars.

[Scan Cape Cod]

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm working with some drop down alternatives at this point. I appreciate it!

[session-one]

im interested in buying the brand free version, i installed this just to test things out, however, a couple questions..

will adding a banner that is not 460x60 or whatever you have suggested cause a problem? The banners im using are appearing like this: http://www.sessionone.net/screenshot.jpg

is the proversion just a brand free version?

What if we want to use this mod with multiple layouts however use different banners to rotate?

Thanks

The banner rotator simply resizes the scale of any banner that is not of these standard dimensions.

The brand-free version is virtually the same as this version apart from branding removed and the file is more streamlined.

Not sure what you mean by multiple layouts... Are you referring to other styles on the same instance of vBulletin?

[RobbieZ]

Even though you add a logo header, you cant actually click it to return home?

Also when you hover instead of your URL you see this 'cc_vbhead' instead.

The home link you can enter in the link parameter of the background image XML changer.

The 'cc_vbhead' is just the title tag, which can be removed from the embed code. It works similar to the alt tag for images.

The home link you can enter in the link parameter of the background image XML changer.

Something like this?

As soon as I get a few hours spare, I'll write up the docs for the 3.8.x version - we have had a few people requesting the same version.

Any Updates Please Please

syrus.xl ,

I am going to assume that after all the times of asking for the 3.8.x version this is not going to happen correct? I just want to make certain this is a correct statment because there are lots of people still running 3.8 versions of VB

thanks

I have a few questions as I have installed this on one of my vb4.05 sites and working OK BUT for the life of me I can change the logo. I created a new transparent logo 400x150 and uploaded it to the cc_1280_logo folder and called it the same name as the default logo logo_title.png and even tested it localled but when I try and load the page after I FTP the new logo on my web server the old logo still shows up? I have refreshed and cleared my cache and still cant get the new logo to show?

I also have one more issue. If I load the page in Firefox the login are displays correctly within this mod in the header but if I load the page in IE the login are is now below the header? How do I fix this.

There will be a 3.8.x version, however lately I have been busy with work so I have not had the time to document it. I also need to document the IPB version, because I released this mod cross-platform on both forum types.

What version of IE are you using, I am unable to replicate that issue. As for the logo, I can only assume that you are still viewing a cached copy of the default logo. Please check in another browser that has not been used to view the header previously.

I am also holding back an updated version of this modification due to the delay on 4.0.6 - once this is finalized I will release the updated versions for vBulletin 4.0.6.

I am willing to pay for the 3.8.x version can you please let me know what I can do to have this available.

Thanks

I wish this was able to work with a variable width size. :(

950 is too small, and 1280 is too large.

I use 1152. ;)

Hi,

You can use variable sizes. But you would need to setup your images so they have an alpha gradient on the right hand side. This would allow you to use the background area of the header to contain a further image that would show through the flash area.

I am running Google Webmaster tools.

I am getting CRAWL errors due to the XML file for this header... Is there a fix or is this something I should not be bothered about?

[x626xblack]

No Reply?

Installed.

[bada_bing]

I am willing to pay a coder if they can get this working for vbulletin 3.8.x please PM me. I have attempted to pm the author of this hack but he is too busy to do this but claims its a small header code change.

Thanks
