Excellent :D :up:

So I thought. :confused:
The first two members on the web site to try it said the colors were not changing for them when they clicked a colored square. They are using IE8. I tried it with IE8 and it works fine for me????

Here is the code I'm using....
Do you see anything in this code that would prevent anyone from being able to use it? This has got me stumped.

:eek: The beauty of this hack is the fact that its quite easy to do the links are in fact clickable pictures and if your using the basic code there can't really be a problem??

basically the Url to your style goes in the front and the url to the colored squares goes to the end

Test each url in your brower see if it goes where its meant to ;)

I've just checked a url http://publicwarriors.com/forums/index.php?styleid=28 and it goes to the brown style also with http://publicwarriors.com/forums/index.php?styleid=10 thats brown also ??

You have every style going to the brown style, I think you've not set somthing up right in your style manager???

You have to be logged in. It works now. It requires user style selection be turned on. I had it off to hide the drop menu. As Admin it would work for me but nobody else.
Everything is good now... thanks!

Just took a look Gary, You did a great job with all the styles, works ok for me buddy. What do your members make of it???

Well done again :D

Members? :)
Both of them love it!!

There's probably no way this would work with 3.6.8 right? :)

This is Basic Html, It would work with VB 2.2 if people still have it ;)

It bothered me that regardless of what page you were on this would redirect you to index.php when you change the color so I wrote up a simple javascript so when a user selects a different color they stay on the page they were viewing.

Place this above your color images:
Then the color image/link would change to:

onclick="updatestyle(5);" 5 represents the style id, change this to whatever.

Enjoy :)

Thank you for this. It works perfectly for me. However, I have 2 questions.

1) How do I remove the pull-down style selection list so this is the only way to change styles?

2) How do I make this the only way to select a new style in the UserCP?

The code you add to the footer, you only have to add it one time to your parent/default style. It will be in all the other styles you make.

Edit: Sorry I checked this as an Admin and it worked fine. When I checked as a regular user the colors will not change if you do as I say below.

Go to acp and click vBulletin Options, then go to Style & Language Settings. Go to 3rd. box down marked Allow Users To Change Styles. Click no then scroll to bottom and click save.

Oh by the way I did this hack on 3.8.4 and it works great. Thanks

Thanks for the convenient hack UKBL, is there an option for the fluid fixed change over too?

Also will running vBa be an issue with this hack?

Thanks, will mark installed as soon as I manage to get through the install LOL!

TIA,

TSG!

With 'allow users to select styles' and this mod... when somebody clicks a color square - will vb remember your selection next time you come to the site?

Great hack, work fine but don't work on IE8 for me...what can be problem?

It should work in Fluid or Fixed width's as long as the code has been added for selection. This should also work with vBa just be sure to upload the cloro squares and any other required files into the correct style folder in your vBa directory ;).

Caliman... come on bud... did you test that before you posted? You could have logged out, closed the browser and checked yourself :p Let us know, maybe we can add it in to remember if not ;).

What can it be... IE! Firefox FTW :D (For the Win!) See if this works in IE7 and if your in IE8 try the compatibility tab ;) (IE8 it works for me, reverting back to IE7 now.. bad IE!!!)

AND to everyone, if your style is showing the blue or "purple once visited" border arounf the image simply modify each img code like this:

Your just adding the code to remove any styling per say i.e.

Would love if something simple was made for VB4. Are you interested in making a new one for Vb4?

Working with vB 4.0.2. Thanks :)

This javascript did not work for me... did it work for anyone else?

It didn't work for me either. :( It's too bad too because that's exactly was I was looking for to use in a mobile skin. If the user is browsing on their phone and wants to see something in the default (full) view, I want them to able to click a button and be directed to the same location. Oh well.. For now I'm using the quick chooser at the top of the mobile skin along with a link next to it that says "Force Return to Default View". It they use the chooser, the won't lose what page they were on, if they use the force return, they will go to index.php.

Anyone known about the additional fields to add in misc.php ??

Is there a mod like this for Vbulletin 4.08?

gracias por el datito

My child styles are not inheriting edits made to the main style.

I uploaded the style i wanted as the main color, and all the other colors as children

good job
