Hey, that seems to have fixed it, thank you very much. I can see some of my styles coming through when the 'default' theme is chosen by the admin. I can even see some of the gradient effect, possibly because I had changed paths to images a while back when integrating the Vbadvanced homepage.
I must have been using a very outdated version of the bridge file as the one I had didn't even have a place to put my VB license number. I think there are too many versions of that file around :)

Thanks again for your work on this, it's looking great so far.

Chas.

Glad to help out.

It looks like theme.php still requires a lot of tweaking to get it to look like vbulletin's style. Is there someone who already put some time into tweaking this file and who wouldn't mind sharing an updated version?

Have you already looked at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....08&postcount=6 ?

It's a first step in getting the colors to match. If you've got multiple styles that have graphics changes then, yes, there's a bunch of work left to be done. Even the stuff I've done to date is only just the start. But at least the color scheme is a lot closer on stlye changes.

If you decide to take on the challenge be sure to post your results so we can all benefit ;)

Yes, I have used your hack on my testvb board and it's great :) But with the CSS info of vbulletin in the page and thus with the default colors it's still quite a task to shape it into a theme for the default style with correct font sizes, alt colors for tables and everything.

I agree wholeheartedly. That's why I stopped where I did - that and it works for what I need at the moment. But yes, it would take a dedicated individual to complete the work and redo almost all of the templates.

Plus, what it really needs is some additional coding in order to pull in all the style variables as well.

be nice get it to use vb3 navbar, and header and footer.... and also, any chance of getting more in depth so if that user has their own gallery, it shows a "Gallery" button in their postbit... when people click it, it takes tem to that persons gallery.. thats current the only thing keeping me from using coppermine instead of photopost.

Heh, it would've saved me some time had I found this thread sooner.. in any event, I've sort of worked it the same way as you, tgmorris. Hours of template editing later, and I have this: http://www.sffba.net/gallery

I would release everything I did, to try and make it easier on the rest of us, but it's so involved that I would almost certainly either screw up the instructions or worse. The only advice I can give is, trial and error. Just make small adjustments, and make sure they work. A good 99% of the work is templates, but if you want to add navbar with login support, etc.. it's a bit more involved. ;)

Is anyone able to write this out in a hack for those of us who arent as experienced with vb hacking?

Whats the link to a users gallery? I think I have a way of accomplishing this but I need am I am a bit behind in how coppermine accomplishes some things.
