Understood, will check it out tomorrow and revise this along w/ the highlight color.

Always remember to share HOW it was fixed, if it was related to a issue with this style or not because one day someone could be looking for the same fix and stumble across your post while searching to only find "I figured it out" know what I'm saying? :cool:

No problem. I had to have the main as a category, create a new forum or category and then all my forums beneath this became child to the new forum/category.

On a side note, how do I incorporate Ozzys html markup for the top line where it says welcome and XXXXXXXXX user name? The html markup works everywhere but here... thanks.

Hmm unless Ozzy did it his own way, plugin method etc this should work - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=277561

I guess more specifically, where is the code for the user name at the top? I have the code from the mod that will change it, just don't know where the code is for your template. Thanks.

Ohh well it's still the toplinks code, so that is in the header template ;). All I did was tell the toplinks via css to move down to where you see them in the style.

Hi, I just installed your style and it appears if my users choose to use the style they are unable to change to another (there is no drop down menu) Now do I fix this?

The drop-down menu is certainly in the footer template so not sure why it's acting up. This could be due to a plugin you could be running or your browser. Is it happening to you alone or to everyone? If to you alone, have you asked others?

I know Internet Explorer is just silly, I bet you're using that although I could be wrong but try:

So no matter what, all-in-all i.e. in the end it's not a style related issue with this style but more so the forum and/or browser of choice.

I checked my site using this style with FF, IE, and Chrome. Everything looks good to me.

One of the things great about this style is the header/banner options you can do with this style. I've made up and tried at least 20 different designs to place in the header area. Everything from multiple colors and info blocks to the very simplest as I am using now.

I honestly believe this is the VERY best free dark style available for vb4. So, if you are a fan of dark styles, ya gotta at least give this one a try.

If you try it and want some header ideas, let me know. I'm freelance so I accept NO MONEY for personal site work.

Thanks for the GREAT style Superman!

on my root, where do I upload the files? 1) Upload the contents of the UPLOAD Folder? Can you please tell me where they should go?

What is the name of the folder your vbulletin is in?

It is in the following folder: public_html/vcm Thank you for your help

Then upload the contents of the /UPLOAD/ folder to /vcm and that should do it ;).

Superman, how do I change the border color for the input boxes on the registration and lost pw pages only? Thanks.

Ok let's try this first. Open your additional.css template and find:

Change it to this:

Does that change any borders around the input boxes? Hopefully it won't.

If it does not, then do this:

AdminCP --> Plugins & Products --> Add New Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook location: parse_templates
Title: Custom Style Changes
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:
Change XXX to the style id number for your style and change red to your desired color.

I had made changes to two templates {additional.css, lostpw.css} and utilized an unused color tab from the StyleVars {Blocks}. This allowed me to select the colour of my choice and only affecting the 'Lost Password Form' without altering the rest of the selection boxes elsewhere.

Add this to the [additional.css]
To change the background colour of the input bar, you can alter the code in the second line above from [background: #222937] to [background: #xxxxxx] xxxxxx= any variable (colour) from your choosing.

{eg: #000000 = black, #FFFFFF = white}


Mofiy the [lostpw.cs] (copy the whole code and paste to the lostpw template is fine:)
To change the colour of the border, enter the 'StyleVars', find 'Blocks', then the 'blockfoot_border'. No need to alter anything else.

I see you managed to change it @pityocamptes what did you end up doing?

I find this happens with different forum versions, so find a footer template file that works and copy it to the one that does not work. Fixes this issue.

Hmm that usually occurs when installing a style into the wrong version... I've also seen odd situations where this occurs as well very rare w/o any explanation however reverting the entire footer template worked and solved the issue.

The footer template is what I modified to include a copyright, just be sure to copy the <div>code for it</div> into the template after reverting please.

*Alternatively you can try Avros suggestion above and copy from one footer template to another which can also alleviate the issue if importing a style made in a different version i.e. you copy working footer code from an already working pre-existing style on your site into the new style and it will work.
**Only issue I see here is the fact this even occurred, if it were one of those random odd times I mentioned above then fine but if you believe its due to version difference perhaps trying an older version .zip will alleviate some issues, depends on version though.

Navigation should move to header, it will look nicer :)
Overall, look great!

I am not sure if this is template related or not, never did it before other templates. When I click on Advanced Search I get a blank.html pop up box that wants to download. Nothing in it though. I don't want to spook users thinking its something bad...

Been so busy never got around to it, plan on working on it this week/weekend... thanks.

Erm that does not sound right... should not do that from ANY style unless something is up. Try switching to another style or actually the default style is best to check issues against. Is the issue present in your default style?

*If you've deleted the default style, simply click on Style Manager then Add New Style - the style it creates will be a 100% default style. Check the site in the new default style, if the issue is gone then it was related to my style, if its not gone then its an issue with your sites files or similar. **Delete the newly created style when done if not using to test further.

The pop up does not occur in the default template. Thanks.

Thanks! If I put color: white; in the top portion of the additional.css it will only affect that box? Thanks again!

Checking back on the popup .html box for advanced search issue... thanks

Check the files on your server, in the same folder your vbulletin is running from, is there an empty index.html file present? It looks like from the pages source code, that this is being called by a plugin or was edited into the style (not in the version uploaded here though so i.e. you might have been hacked at some point in time, that's the only reason to include an invisible iframe usually but why is it being directed to include a 1kb blank.html file ? very odd imho).

This is found when I view the source code for your forum:
Makes no sense to link to an iframe in a 1kb file like that unless it was compromised but then the file size if it contained mal code should be larger than the original file size, which is the same 1kb so odd all around I'd say, can't tell anything specific unless I had access and I'm booked for the night working now and its close to 11pm here so no time to check regardless and not trying to scare you one bit simply saying this seems very odd and that you need to look into it to be safe.

I would replace default vBulletin files to be safe, check in the admincp using suspect file versions under maintenance after replacing them and also check for spare admin accounts. If anything looks odd file-wise then make a new thread in the vB4 forums and ask for feedback/assistance w/ the file names before deleting. *As always make a backup of database and files before removing anything.

Edit: Who is pasting <table and <TR <TD codes all over the place? STOP DAT lol its just an old outdated way to design web pages... it still works but not the standard, only use when absolutely required i.e. you're pulling your hair out because you can't find a way to make something display properly so you cheat and use a table (try not to!). Just one of many examples explaining more in detail - http://www.itegritygroup.com/css-vs-tables/ AND here is an example of how to do a three part fluid header instead of using a table to do the same in vBulletin - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228319 :cool:

Thanks. Actually I've had this issue since I downloaded the style. Don't know about the table tr stuff as, like I said this is the only template I have been using and adding mods from here on... so with that in mind, do you still suggest the same as above? Thanks.

Lynn over at vbulletin.com indicated this:

"If you do a Search In Templates for part of the code, like "<iframe id="yui-history-iframe", you will see that it is part of the search_common template."

So I assume it is part of the vbulletin files...

So if I delete the code above, am I going to have any issues?

OK, updated the template. Thanks. However, now my blogs and articles tabs are giving me 404 errors.... not sure why...

OK, not the template fault, looks like a dbseo issue, contacted them...

-->>>OH, the reason the table td/tr issue was present is that I wanted the site logo to auto shrink with no matter how big the user makes the screen. Now, using the suggestion above, it no longer does that. Anyway to work around that??? Thanks.

Hello I am looking for style vbulletin 4.2.3 beta suggestions please

BUMP

I'll test it, thanks

The css for the logo is located in additional.css near the top, there's two for this area one is the actual background and the other serves as a "cover" i.e. a transparent image that covers the logo to prevent straight -right-click save image etc.

In additional.css find (or similar, depending on if you're using fixed or fluid version):
Change to:
So basically remove any references of width/height and add in:
*Not tested so let me know, might need to adjust/tinker to make it presentable :p.

I would offer suggestions except I'm not tracking/keeping up with any 4.2.3 Beta styles therefor suggestions, I'm all out of :p. Soon as 4.2.3 is official i.e. out of Beta this will be upgraded for use with but not before then as I do not fabricate styles for Beta versions.

Thanks, will check on the auto size code tonight. As far as the advanced search pop up, previously mentioned, what should I do? Thanks again.

My brain is broken today already, like a jello pudding cup so head my words of advice with a grain of salt per say lol. I see Lynne gave you some info and I'm not about to doubt that simply going to say that I can't recall what page I was on when I viewed your source code so if on search and that is supposed to show then so be it but I don't recall that iframe code at all from all the times I've worked on styles so we're gonna try this:

1. Open Notepad++ (Google + Download then use it to copy/paste/edit ALL code do not use Windows notepad/wordpad can cause issues depending on server type used).
2. Open the template in question.
3. Copy all the code, now paste into notepad++ in a new document, once pasted minimize notepad++
4. Now back in your browser within the vBulletin template remove the iframe code, save the template.
5. Check the style now, any issues still present regarding the popup?

By doing the above one of two things will happen and as such you should only act if its not fixed, if fixed then you're done, see below for outcomes.

- IF no issues are present, then that was it and its fixed.
- IF the issue is still present, delete all the code in the template and replace with the original template code you have sitting in notepad++ ;).

Thanks will try it out late tonight. One more question. Is there a limit as to how many nav tabs you can have? I noticed on a mobile device that the tabs bunch up after the second row (nav tabs drop down to a second row on mobile device). Any way around this? Thanks.

Not sure if this will work on mobile or not but when you said they were bunching up it did come to mind :p.

^ See post #2 here in the Avenger Blue thread for info on how to adjust this style with the Navtabs v1 its about half way down in post 2.

Edit: I wanted to edit my post and clarify something though so you would know and any others who happen across this post wondering the same thing - there is and is not a limit to how many navbar tabs you can have however unless you use a mod like above it may become crowded as you noticed. This also can come into play (too many tabs so they bunch up) depending on the type of style you have fluid or fixed - in a fixed style its a set width so only so many tabs will fit in a horizontal fashion since the width is specifically set. In a fluid style it then depends on the users monitor resolution so if the style is set to display 80% width with 10% margin on each side that = 100% but is the user running a 1024x768 resolution on their pc OR are they running 1920x1080 on a 40" LCD tv like me? <-- All of those factors can change how it appears - the only time it will not change is if its a fixed width as you know how many and what to fit in then, and no matter if on a 1024x768 or 1920x1080 resolution the site will always be the fixed width and this is also why sometimes we must scroll on certain sites to see content, they were coded in a set size and why the scroll-bars popup on certain sites and others they do not (responsive style/them etc).
