SmoothBlue - A Alternative to my SmoothRed Style!
 

SmoothBlue

5/06/08 - Updated the ZIP package with a optional side column xml file. You can now choose to have or not to have the left side column.

Removed until further notice.

SmoothRed style has the left side column. This one doesn't? Wonderful style otherwise. :)

This style is compatible with vbadvanced?

very nice!

The color is very nice ! Can you release the same left side culumn style as Smooth Red? Definitly I will install it if available :)

Thx in advance!

I don't use vbadvanced, but I wouldn't see why not. It's not heavily modified so you should be able to use it with no problems. If you have any, just post here and I'll get you all straightened out ;)

As for the sidebar... go figure. I make themes with sidebars, and everyone wants to know how to remove them. Make them without, and they want it back :). I'll add a side column alternative and update the package. Shouldn't take too long to do.

Thanks, Mark. The colours are awesome with this one! :)

Not to nitpick, but I think we have missing images here just as we had with SmoothRed. The collapse_tcat_collapsed is the same as collapse_tcat, for instance, just as it was in the initial release of SmoothRed. Thanks again! :)

Ok, I'm going to update this with s sidebar option and I will make sure all the images are there. I am copying them from my stock vb image directory, but perhaps in development I've deleted my own default images :(

Anyway, look for a update to this sometime today.

Updated. Also by request, see the following attachement if:

You want this style with a side column
You want this style with the standard thread / posts columns instead of the threads / posts under the Forum name and description.

Perhaps this will "wrap" this up and eveyone has what they need :)

Thanks for your great work !!!
Will install this for my new forum (Could be online in 3 -5 days).

Many Thanks!:up:

Hey Mark, when used with USC 2.0 everything works perfect on the style with the side column, but with the no side column version, the RIGHT Column with USC is out of wack (doesn't line up under the NAV when choosing that option on USC) This is ONLY on the Forum Home page (all other pages work and line up correctly)... USC 2.0 works perfect with both Red versions. Not sure if this is something you want to look into or not. Just thought I would point it out.

btw...Love your styles and your work... keep it up bud!

If you are refering to ultimate side columns, I don't use it, but I'm sure it could be corrected with padding it could be easily corrected. Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure there will be some issues I'll have to work out as they get reported.

Editing the style width in the style var does not work. Any ideas why?

A. you messed with the style and broke it.

B. in the width you are entering in 800px (don't include the px)

I would to set it at 950. I'm entering 950 and 950px and it does not work. I use that width with all styles and it works just fine. It really is a great skin. Bug maybe?

It seems to not let me change the logo and I replaced the directory for it and it still wont change

Forum Staff:

Here you can add your staff names, delete this area, or fill with your own informational item.

^ where it says that how do I replace

No bug that I know of. Works perfectly fine on my demo when I change the StyleVAR to 950.


As for the logo, if you replace smoothblue/misc/logo.gif with yours, should change. Try clearing your cache. Are you using any mods that cache templates that would prevent the change from being seen immediately?

As for the text on the sidebar, I haven't looked (sorry short term memory) but it is either in the navbar, header, or footer template. Use the search template feature for that text, or part of it, and you'll see where it is.

It was in navbar mate as for the logo goes i deleted it and now it just an empty spot and I put in a different one and it wont show either

Mark - thanks! I was in the process of converting SmoothRed to Blue ;) to see how it would look...

I'm getting a Security Token error with this style. I'm not getting the error with any other style I have installed....

What are you doing when you get the security token error. I will have a look at it.

Hi Mark...

I was using this mod [AJAX] Top X - ALP Pro
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...150766&page=13

I had to do a work around in order for this to work...basically deleteing it..and re-adding it. And all is well now. I am not getting the security errors.

Scratch that...

this is the error I am getting:

Method Not Implemented
us to /index.html not supported.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.5 Server at host.themes4bb.com Port 80

cool Merci

That error is not style related.

ok...but it only happens on that style!

You have yet to tell me what action you were performing when you got the error. The style is modified from it's original version, so I don't know what code changes have been made.

Provide me with more detailed information, and I would be happy to try and help you out. Do you get this error when you upload the style and make no changes to it? Installed any modifications lately where you may have incorrectly added code to a template on that style?

Here is what comes up on Google search results http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...t+supported%2e

I didn't go through the results, but it seems like an apache error.

Mark...

Thanks for your input. I've contacted my host (I'm on a VPS)..and hopefully they can figure out why I am getting this error.

I instealled this style with the 100's of modifications that I have installed (figure of speech...)..and it only seemed to affect the [AJAX] Top X - ALP Pro Mod...it wouldn't even show up...

I also noticed that (or I may have missed it)..that you did not have any mention of the security tokens in your templates fo rthis style. I did add one to the forum home/forum display...but it did not help.

Again..I'll see what my host reposts..

Thanks!

Yes, thats quite odd what you have going on there. The style as I have it on my test install has all security tokens required in the templates. Let me know what happens. Would be curious to know.

I got it fixed..and working. Thanks!

OK..so here it is..this is what made that error...

NEVER EVER..copy the forum display code into the Forum Home code... don't ask why I did it...it was a goof.

See, and you had me pulling my hair out wondering what you did :) Glad to here you got it working.

Hi Mark,
I want to make the header part narrow, could you let me know what should I do to resize it?
Thanks!

very good ;)

Any chance on a "Thanks!" button for this style?

Not sure by what you mean make it narrow. Please elaborate.

Thank you.

There should be a button PSD included in the ZIP file. If you are unable to edit a PSD, let me know.

Hello, Anyway how to move that Side bar from Left side to right ?? also would like not to have that Forum Information box there in side bar...

how can I achieve that ??

Bump !!! A week no reply !!!

I would suggest using the version with no side column, then using these directions:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156775

to add a right column. Since you want to eliminate the forum information box, this will allow you to put anything you want in the right column. Hope that helps.

thanx

very nice

OK, I want the Forum Information Box too! Just want to shift the whole of the vertical panel from the left side to the right side. Does your advice still hold? That is 'using the version with no side column, then using these directions' or is there any easier way from the existing version itself.
