How to make the header background transparent?

[hugoroger]

I was going to create a new thread but I have been searching for hours on how to do this for VB 4.2.3 but this code does not work.. i have tried dozens of other websites and codes.. nothing... any help?

If you want to make the header background transparent in a particular style, then edit the Stylevar "header_background" in the "Header" section of the Stylevars.

If you wish to quickly apply this change to all of your styles, then add a plugin hooked at "parse_templates" with the code:

$template_hook['headinclude_css'] .= '<style>.above_body {background: transparent !important;}</style>';

Mark beat me to it ...

Nice touch Mark! I was just going to add the css but you added the hook to change all themes at once. :)

I already did that and now I see the white wrapper.. I need to remove that white wrapper.. this is what I have so far.. clashforum(dot)com(dot)br

If you want to remove the white wrapper from the body, then alter the plugin I posted to read:

$template_hook['headinclude_css'] .= '<style>body, .above_body {background: transparent !important;}</style>';

I added that.. but nothing happened.. was it suppose to affect all existing styles?

your code is for the entire wrapper right?.. is there a way to edit the HEADER wrapper only? I am trying to get something like this one...

What I change those elements using Firebug, I get what I think you are after. I would have to come to your site with admin access to see what's going on. If interested, send the login credentials to an admin account to me via PM.

[hugoroger]

sure.. I dont mind.. will send them to you.. I left the plug in there

Now I see I didn't grab all of the PHP code when I posted post #6. My apologies for the confusion...I have edited my post to make it complete. :)

Thank you so much man!! Honestly I have tried to get this done in the past 2 to 3 days and it was not working. I had fire bug open as well and like crazy trying to edit/remove and change the divs but now thanks for that small bit of code man!! I gotta study more of this stuff! haha:up:

Much appreciated!

I posted the link of this thread on a vbulletin thread I had opened about this that I was trying to do. Here is the thread for reference: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-4/vbulletin-4-questions-problems-and-troubleshooting/4359259-how-to-put-a-transparency-in-the-header-only-and-not-the-entire-body

Cool method, Mark! but I would go with editing on template, using a hook in this case can increase handles for the forum.

If you've got a large number of styles and you want the change applied to all, this is easier to add.
