vb.org Archive - Forum Home Enhancements

Hi.

I'm having trouble getting this to run at all.

v3.6.4, Kartel Fluid style

1) vbgseason.xml installed

AdminCP / Plugins & Products / Manage Products / Add/Import Product

also set it to "allow overwrite" and then clicked Import

verified its listing in the Installed Products
verified its listing in the vBulletin Options / vBGuides: Season Effects

2) uploaded season FOLDER to my directory [ie, the folder itself which includes its contents within it]:

/html/forum_name/forum/
where forum_name is just an example of the actual name of my site

resulting in,

/html/forum_name/forum/season/

3) Styles & Templates / Style Manager / Kartel Fluid / Edit Templates / header

and added the code for it at the very top of header:

Code:

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->

<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">

<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">

<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>

</if></if>

<!-- End vBGuides Season -->



<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

<!--

function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0

  var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;

}



function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0

  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();

    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)

    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}

}



function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01

  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {

    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}

  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];

  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);

  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;

}



function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0

  var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)

   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}

}
