I'm using 3.5.4
I had to remove the xml file . Just not sure how to import this(birthday xml), because last time I over wrote my default, by accident. I am probably just being stupid, but would rather be safe then sorry.

Don't forget ground hog day

Sniper did an awesome job - very happy our skin is working out for a lot of people :)

I'm on an older version of vBulletin, 3.5.0 and I have everything installed. The skin works, I've gotten the mod uploaded but it's not appearing in my vBulletion Options drop down box so that I can force the style on a user's birthday. Any ideas or suggestions?

Any Update On The Update

not had a chance to work on it yet because of uni, I will see if I can start it later on today.

I totaly dig this idea. I am 100% new at this and having a hell of a time to get the style to even upload--arg!! (did I mention I am new to this,lol).

So when I click the download button to get the style it opens up a new window of code. So am I supposed to save it as a .xml file then and upload it into my BBS? (I was going to just FTP it but the server is having hickups)..

Sorry for the noob stuff but I am still trying to get wet at this stuff...

anyone know where to get a Birthday style that works with 3.50?

Thanks for putting time into these hacks! You all rock! As for holidays I think major ones would be great as well. Easter, christmas, st pattys day. Ect. . . Thanks for all your hard work!! :cool:

Pehaps a table with dates w/ year would work (IE Easter http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/easter.html )

very nice. works like a charm. *installed.

i do have one question though. i have a 2nd navbar plugin that doesn't show up in the birthday style. i didn't have to edit code to make it work on the default style though. i believe it was a product that was imported. will i have to manually update the navbar code for this style? (it's the first style i've added so far)

the style isn't mine (you can use any style you want) but yes you will have to edit it.

yeah i actually decided to give it about 10 seconds of work and time after i posted that and all is well now. i guess that's what i get for asking first and looking later. great style, looks cool

Just released a holiday/style/birthday style manager here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117353

I was wondering something,

But since I am a total nubber on vb... is it possible to duplicate the current style you have, and add something like the snow for xmas on that style only, of course replace the flakes with pies or presents or whatever you like...

Can this be done?

Hello,

It's possible to add this in vbulletin 3.0.12 (eg, with a conversion for 3.0.12) ??

Thanxs

When you import a new skin, you have to uninstall all of your products, upload the skin, and then reinstall the products to have them show up on the new skin (when your import the products, they go into all your current skins and edit the templates).

Does this work with 3.6? I had it on my 3.5.2 forums but I have been cautious about bringing all the extras back...

I would like to know the answer to this too.

yes it does!

Yes, this works in v3.6.2 excellently! Much credit to you, -=Sniper=- ! A Nice hack indeed!

Tell me, can you make another xml so we can force other Styles onto whoever; when we want to show off new additional skins?

That would be great if you could do this!

Any idea if this works with 3.7 pl2?

Hi Guys - I am running vB 3.6.8 Patch Level 2 and I thought I'd give this a go.


But - I am not getting anything. I have set my birthday to Today - but still nothing.


What exactly am I supposed to be seeing?

Plus the only option that I have in the drop down menu is "Default Style".

great idea.. I have tried it on 3.7.2 and now on 3.7.3 and it works fine, members loving it

Thanks

Very nice!!

Is there any chance this will be released for version 4.0.8 please? :)
