Mac OS X: Full Release

[Dade]

Have an Apple related site? Have forums for Mac OS X? Then here is a style that is sure to beef up your traffic!

If you want the style to look like the original, install these following hacks on your board, and just ignore the templates that the hacks tell you to edit, I've already added the code to the templates myself.

Hacks to install:

Getting user avatars to show up on the forum home:

Open up global.php

(Make sure when placing this in global.php that you place it above $header)

----------------
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {
$FFavatarurl=getavatarurl($bbuserinfo[userid]);
if ($FFavatarurl=='') {
$FFavatarurl='images/noavatar.gif';
}
$avatarimage='<img src="'.$FFavatarurl.'">';
} else {
$avatarimage='<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="images/guestavatar.gif" border="0"></a>';
}
---------------

The code is already added where it should be on the forum home

If your site is Apple related, you can use this style without worry. However I would advise against using it for any other focus other then Apple. They don't take kindly to that sort of thing.

I am available for web design services as well. Web sites, vBulletin designs, if you need a job done, contact me. Thanks and enjoy the style!

Download it here (http://www.valkyrec.net/macosx_style.zip)

A demo of the style can be found here: http://forums.valkyrec.net/

EDIT: I updated the zip file. The images folder was renamed to the correct name.

this is to sweet, keep up the good work !

[SemperFidelis]

Top style you have made there
Thankyou very much

Couple of questions for you though:
1. Why did you hardcode all the image references in the templates ?
2. vbstats image references mainly pointed .png files (rather than the standard .gif) - did you re-do some of these on your site ?

[Dean C]

nice style... but ive seen this style before somwhere... perhaps it was on your forums :D

good job anyway !

[Dade]

Forgot about the png files.

And you have to hard code the extra images.

And mist, it's from my forums, yes.

[SaintDog]

Good job, it looks really nice :)

[SemperFidelis]

Dont worry about the images
I got that sorted ok
(as well as the hard coding)

I have installed all the recommended hacks
And now have a couple of questions :

1. What does this do ? - forumupdates.php
And can I please get a copy of that file

2. I installed the whos been online today hack
And it doesnt center and <<-- -->> the title like at your site
How would I go about fixing this ?

Also, when I visited your site, I noticed there are 2 different figures for most users online
Is that meant to happen ?

[Dark_Wizard]

Nice job....

[Dade]

I've uploaded the forumupdates.php file, upload it to your root forum directory.

Also, when I visited your site, I noticed there are 2 different figures for most users online

That's a default configuration. The "Current Users Online" is built into vB, the "Most Online Today" is an extra hack, I guess the author wanted to include the same thing.

[mem]

Would you release the Mac OS X style that doesn't install any hack?
thank you very much.

[Dade]

This is directly from my board, there is no version without hacks. If you don't want any hacks then simply remove or replace the hack displays.

Yeah im using both Current USers Online and Most Online today as well.
Thing I thought was odd was the figure for most users online being different at your site (they are the same for me)

Any ideas on how to correct the formatting of it though ?

In the style, there is a template that is "forumhome_shoutbox".
The template need to install the hack "vB Shoutbox 1.0 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38698)".
so... I think you are maybe negligence.
that's ok! I can fix it.
Thank you again. :)

[Dade]

Yeah, forgot to remove that. Although I could never really get the shoutbox to look right on my style, so I removed it.

[Keyser S?ze]

this is great, anyone got a winXP version?

[pattox2k1]

what exactly does the forumupdate.php file do????

[JJR512]

I'm proud to have one of my hacks (Photo Gallery) be included in this! :)

[Martin CX]

It's very pretty, but if I may offer a slight suggestion, why not use PNGs with alpha transparency? That would eliminate any problems with displaced images.

[anjam]

remove or replace the hack displays? How?

I think he meant just delete those texts on the forumhome template that you don't need.

Example Screenshot:

I replaced some text links I don't need with some of my own stuff.

[Keyser S?ze]

in this style it seems like if someone attaches a large image, it throws everything off, the normal styles dont do that, anyway to fix it?

That's my only complaint also.

Great template, Dade! I am sure my Mac visitors will be pleased when I release it. :banana:

[Asso]
