Hello,

For first time I'm in need to build a custom style (vB3) and seems that I'm doing something wrong. What I had in mind is to download with a new name the default style and then work on it, or I was expected to find somewhere a "Duplicate style" option for default style.

Tried to download with new name the default style but it has nothing.

So the only way is to duplicate the original xml file?

Thank you for your help.

Chris

I'm not quite sure what you are asking for, however is you just want to make a new fresh style based on the master template then click add new style from the bottom of the style manager page.

Alternatively, you can make a child style from the default.

Yes, this is what I want, have tried both cases, but when I tried to download the new created styles the xml files were almost empty. Here is the only content in the xml.file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<style name="Default Style" vbversion="3.8.10" product="vbulletin" type="custom">
<templategroup name="StyleVar Special Templates">
<template name="outertablewidth" templatetype="stylevar" date="1490028831" username="ChrisTERiS" version=""><![CDATA[1170]]></template>
</templategroup>
</style>

A custom style is only the changed templates that differ from the master style, if you want to get the full theme then you will need to put your site into debug mode and the master style will appear at the top of your style list, you will be able to download the full style there.

Thank you. I'll try it.
