Admin can change default style from admin cp

[Brad]

This is a simple 'mini hack'. I wrote this for myself some time ago so i could change the default style without overwriting styleid 1, or editing global.php multiple times.

This will add a new option in the 'vBulletin options' part of the admin cp.

Querys to run: 1
Files to edit: 1.
Screenshot: in next post.

[Brad]

Mist: Sure, ill look into it as soon as im done with my next hack (probbly tonight) :)

[mforster]

Simple, and great - really handy if you want to make a simple default style for people who havent registered without overwriting files - Installs

[AnaFreak]

thanks very nice work, came in handy

[SavgeDusk]

Great hack. This will definitely be very useful.

[Mr. X]

Stupid question, but how do you know what styleid a style is? I assume default is 1? I have 3 styles btw.

[SmartGnome]

Very usefull hack. I missed the function in VB :D

Thanks :banana Install clicked

[Oblivion Knight]

Another hack that Jelsoft should add with the original package.. ;)
Installed with no problems at all on 2.3.0 RC3, loving it.!

You may want to fix that typo in the db query though.. You've missed the f on "default" and unless fixed, shows in the cp as "deault".

* Oblivion Knight clicks install.

[blackice912]

Woohoo, I've needed this for SO long. You rule :)

[FFArmageddon]

uhm hey I am having a problem with this :\

It changed tbe default style fine for members who are logged in. But if you are a guest or logged out, only the forum main page style changes.

Could it have something to do with the issues I mentioned on vbt?

[Michael Foster]

Thanks, I currently have 6 styles on my forum and plan on eventually adding more. This will be very useful. :D

Im not sure what could be doing that.

You might want to think about opening a support ticket (http://vbulletin.com/members/support_form.php).

[FFArmageddon]

Ok I think I will do just that :)

thanks

This isn't working for me. I installed it and no errors, but it doesn't do anything. I have 2 styles. One called default and one called Empire I created. So that's 2 including the one that came with the forum. I tried setting style ID to 1-2-3-4-5-6.dsfpiaq3poias-e0fm alot of them lol! And nothing ever happens as should. I expected for when a new visitor who visits the board will have the style set as Empire not default. And... it doesn't I don't understand lol! Sorry, maybe it's obvious but it's definately not harming me, or working at that either.

[mx3]

w00t!!! i've needed this for sooo long! *installs!*

works fine!

[TheEnd]

How do I tell what the style ID is? I got like 3 styles, wheres it say which is which?

[Brad]

How to find styleid's.


This adds the current style id of a style to the modifiy styles page of the admin cp, makes it easyer on newbies who dont know how to find style id's ;)

To upgrade:

In /admin/style.php find:

// ###################### Start Modify #######################
if ($action=="modify") {

doformheader("","");
maketableheader("Style Sets");
$styles=$DB_site->query("SELECT styleid,title FROM style ORDER BY title");
while ($style=$DB_site->fetch_array($styles)) {

echo "<tr class='".getrowbg()."'>\n<td><p>$style[title]</p></td><td><p>".
makelinkcode("fonts/colors/etc","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=styles&dostyleid=$style[styleid]").
makelinkcode("properties","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=edit&editstyleid=$style[styleid]",0,"edit style properties").
makelinkcode("download","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=dodownload&styleid=$style[styleid]").
iif($style[styleid]!=1,makelinkcode("remove","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=remove&styleid=$style[styleid]"),"").
"</p></td></tr>\n";

}

echo "</table></td></tr></table>";

}

Replace by:

// ###################### Start Modify #######################
if ($action=="modify") {

doformheader("","");
maketableheader("Style Sets");
$styles=$DB_site->query("SELECT styleid,title FROM style ORDER BY title");
while ($style=$DB_site->fetch_array($styles)) {

echo "<tr class='".getrowbg()."'>\n<td><p>$style[title] (style id $style[styleid])</p></td><td><p>".
makelinkcode("fonts/colors/etc","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=styles&dostyleid=$style[styleid]").
makelinkcode("properties","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=edit&editstyleid=$style[styleid]",0,"edit style properties").
makelinkcode("download","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=dodownload&styleid=$style[styleid]").
iif($style[styleid]!=1,makelinkcode("remove","style.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=remove&styleid=$style[styleid]"),"").
"</p></td></tr>\n";

}

echo "</table></td></tr></table>";

}

Thats it!

How do you run an SQL Query or rather where do I run the needed SQL query :

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorde r) VALUES (NULL,2,'Default style set.','loo_default_style','1','Set this number to the style id you wish to be displayed by deault (note: This will not overwrite style settings in user profiles!)','','7');

Also, how do I view the global.php file and edit it?

Yup, same.

[gmarik]

If you would also make a cp.css reader, it would be something!
Like on phpBB, they have something like that.

[gwhooooey]

INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,desc ription,optioncode,displayorde r) VALUES (NULL,2,'Default style set.','loo_default_style','1','Set this number to the style id you wish to be displayed by deault (note: This will not overwrite style settings in user profiles!)','','7');

How do I reverse this? I'm removing the hack. Thanks

[Austin Dea]

This only changes the style for index.php only. If I click a forum, it's back to the default(id=1) style.

[Danielo]

yes...
it doesn't function verywell!!

i have the same problem of Austin Dea!!

Let's check it

If an anonymous user enter the forum, the board shows perfectly th index.php paage, but the other are wrong

[StrykerContact]

Thanks, just what I needed.

[StrykerContact]

Ok this hack doesn't work right, it only sets my index.php as the style I set default to, but when I click a forum section it changes back to the real default.

[DraX]

You guys are forgetting that each forum has it's own styleid. If set not to override user defaults, it will still be used whenever a guest is logged in. You'll have to change those forums to whatever your forum default is if you want it to function in there.

I've written a quick alternative to this.....

make these changes in admin/forum.php:

find// ###################### Start add #######################replace with// ################## Start defaultstyle ###################
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="defaultstyle") {
if ($defaultstyle=="" AND $loo_default_style=="") {
echo "<b>YOU DO NOT HAVE A RECOGNIZED DEFAULT STYLE HACK INSTALLED!<BR>
You need to have installed Avalon Site Manager or
<a href=\"https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50491\">
Anime-Loo's Default Style Hack</a> in order to change the default style of
all of your site's forums to the default set by those hacks/add-ons.<br><br>";
} else {
$newstyle=$loo_default_style;
//Since Avalon Site Manager includes a default style changer for both the forums and the site content,
//we need to override Anime-Loo's hack if installed to preserve ASM's functionality.
//Sorry, Anime-Loo.
if ($defaultstyle!="") {
$newstyle=$defaultstyle;
}
$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET styleid='$newstyle' WHERE styleoverride='0'");
echo "Default Forum Styles changed to $newstyle!<br><br>";
}
}

// ###################### Start add #######################
find echo "<p>If you change the orders, please be sure to submit the form using the buttons at the bottom of the page</p>";replace with if ($defaultstyle OR $loo_default_style) {
doformheader("forum","defaultstyle");
maketableheader("Default Style Modification Detected!");
makedescription("You have installed either Avalon Site Manager or
<a href=\"https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50491\">Anime-Loo's Default Style Hack</a>.<br>
Would you like to change all forums here that do not override a user's selected style to the forum default?");
doformfooter("Yes, Fix the Default Style of my Forums","");
}

echo "<p>If you change the orders, please be sure to submit the form using the buttons at the bottom of the page</p>";

This should solve all your troubles if you use this everytime you change your default style.

[StrykerContact]

Just remake the damn hack and give the origional creater credit.

[DraX]

Whoa! No reason for the hostility, guy.

I put this together quick for those of you who were having trouble with it. Which may have been good anyway, since my personal project, Avalon Site Manager, had similar functionality and I had not yet considered at the time that the forums needed their styleid's changed as well.

Anyway, I've contacted anime-Loo and given her permission to bundle this within the original hack if she liked. The functionality of the basic portion of her code was quite simple however, and given a lack of response I may do just what you suggested.

[Zachery]

upgrading to vb3 line by line, its default in vb3 :) looks nice but i dont run any vb2 forums anymore

He ;).

Ive been planing a update for awhile (alot of my hacks need them). Im not sure if I am going to bundle your code or not at this point. But thanks for the quick fix for the current version ;)

[Big J]

Drax - THANKS FOR THE FIX!!!!!!!

[Red Blaze]

Exactly what I was looking for. :D

Will try to install now. :)

EDIT: Works like a charm! Thanks alot! Just a little something that could be helpfull, can it become like a drop down menu listing the styles? Dunno if it could be possible, if so, that'd be great. Either way it's good.

* Red Blaze click install
