FreshBlue Template

Hi all,

I've just completed my first free vB template which is called FreshBlue.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Demo Forum: MotoGP Boards

Hopefully it will be useful, let me know what you think. :)

Cheers,
Dom

Update
I've updated the template to include some statusicons for the forumhome area. You can see them at the same demo link as before and the download link's the same too. If you would prefer to upgrade the template manually (I made a couple of CSS & template changes) then instructions are available here.

Update #2
You can now download FreshBlue for vB 3.6 - see this thread for details and to download.

very very nice. looks like it loads fast alsoo.

Dom.S

Thanks for the comments. :) It should load more or less as fast as the default vB template as there is only a tiny amount of new markup.

very nice... how much would it cost as a brand-free version?

I mean how much should I pay to you so that I have the right to remove your link?

I could have an unbranded copy sent over to you later today for ?30 (approx $50). :)

Heya Dom, would you entertain the idea of making different color variations of this style?

Ohiosweetheart

03-30-2006 02:10 PM

I second princess's request.

I LIKE this style, Dom... very neat and clean-looking. My only problem is with the stock vBulletin forum icons. I'd really love to see different icons there. otherwise, NICE job!

EricaJoy

03-30-2006 03:01 PM

ditto on the icons...i'd like to see it maybe incorporate some of the famfamfam icons.

Ohiosweetheart

03-30-2006 08:45 PM

Good idea Princess. Altho, this being a free style, I wouldn't have any problem with creating my own forum icons for it. I WOULD, however, like to see it in a variety of colors as you suggested.

Someone else here on vb.org did that... it was awesome

I've just released an updated version of the template which includes some new forumhome statusicons. You can download and demo it at the original addresses.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

If you're looking to upgrade then I've added some CSS and a couple of template changes as well (just a little formatting on the 'Forum Contains New Posts' etc links) so it would probably be best to reinstall. That said, it's just to make things look a little neater and you could easily get away without it, in which case you just need to upload the new 'freshbluetemplate/statusicon' folder. If anyone would prefer to update the CSS and template changes themselves then I can post the details here.

Regarding other colour schemes... I'll think about it. ;)

Blackbeard

03-31-2006 08:58 AM

Can you upload the CSS and Template changes please.

Dom.S

03-31-2006 09:05 AM

Ok here goes:

Manual Upgrade Instructions

1) Upload new 'freshbluetemplate/statusicon' folder.
2) Open the FreshBlue main CSS and scroll right down to 'Additional CSS Definitions'. In the second of the two boxes, add the following:

Code:

.statusiconkey {

        border-width: 1px;

        border-style: solid;

        border-color: #c7d6e1;

        background-color: #f1f1f1;

        padding: 2px;

        margin: 0;

}

3) That's the CSS done, so save that.
4) Open the main 'FORUMHOME' template (in the 'Forum Home templates' section) and find the following:

Code:

<!-- icons and login code -->

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%">

<tr valign="bottom">

        <td>

                <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">

                <tr>

                        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>

                        <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>

                        <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>

                        <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>

                </tr>

                </table>

        </td>

        <if condition="!$show['guest']">

                <!-- member logout -->

                <td align="$stylevar[right]"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]"  onclick="return log_out()"><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[log_out_x]</phrase></a></td>

                <!-- end member logout -->

        </if>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- / icons and login code -->

Replace it with:

Code:

<!-- icons and login code -->

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%">

<tr valign="bottom">

        <td>

                <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">

                <tr>

                        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" class="statusiconkey" border="0" /></td>

                        <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" class="statusiconkey" border="0" /></td>

                        <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>

                </tr>

                <tr>

                        <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" class="statusiconkey" border="0" /></td>

                        <td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>

                </tr>

                </table>

        </td>

        <if condition="!$show['guest']">

                <!-- member logout -->

                <td align="$stylevar[right]"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]"  onclick="return log_out()"><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[log_out_x]</phrase></a></td>

                <!-- end member logout -->

        </if>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- / icons and login code -->

And you're done. HTH. :)

Now THOSE are nice! I'll be installing this one later today, now, with those new icons.

as for the various colors... glad to know you're thinking about it :D

That would be in 'FORUMHOME' instead of my original replacement code. Like I said I haven't given that a go myself, but it should be alright.

Would be great if somehow I could work out how to fit my current banner inside the borders, is there any way?

Dom.S

04-12-2006 02:28 PM

If I was you I'd probably do something like this:

http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/8561/mumzone9xs.th.jpg

I could code something along those lines very affordably if you were interested. ;)

If not then I would suggest you have a look at replacing $vboptions[bbtitle] in the header template with your standard banner image. I'm not sure how you could add a banner inside the borders and still make it look good without bigger changes tbh.

Is anyone able to help with the following please:-

1. I am trying to add this template but make a few changes. I have found that when I change the background colour it performs differently in Firefox to Internet Explorer, if I change the font colour so it looks right in IE its out in Firefox and vice versa, any ideas please?

2. For some reason when I change the width of forum its not changing top section. Again, any ideas?

Forum can be viewed at http://www.mumszone.co.uk/forums but you need to change to Fresh Blue on bottom right hand of screen. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Dom.S

2. To change the overall width you need to edit #freshbluecontainer and #fbfooter in the additional CSS definitions. I have just tested changing these ids and the end result is this (only a temporary link, I'll change it back to the default later). To achieve that you need to change the forum width setting to what it was before and then make these changes:

Replace #freshbluecontainer with:

Code:

#freshbluecontainer {

        background-color: #FFFFFF;

        background-image:url(images/freshbluetemplate/bodybg.gif);

        background-position:right;

        background-repeat:repeat-y;

        width: 800px;

        margin: 0 auto;

}

Replace #fbfooter with:

Code:

#fbfooter {

        background-image:url(images/freshbluetemplate/footerbg.gif);

        background-repeat:repeat-x;

        height: 84px;

        width:800px;

        margin: 0 auto;

}

Where 800px is the width you are aiming for.

(I might as well release this as a fixed width version now I guess!)

jellybaby

04-13-2006 02:07 PM

Thanks Dom. Such a great template and fits in great with my site, I love the smooth edges as opposed to the ones I have now! Sorry it wasnt the font it was around the edges of the banner, I have the same problem with the colour on my Joomla as well!

jellybaby

04-13-2006 06:08 PM

A problem with the narrow version, when I click on get new posts the bar that has contact us, etc on at the bottom is still stretched wide! Also, when I click on the pull down list at the top the list doesnt actually show underneath them anyone else have this?

Not sure if this link works:-
