Blaze 3.7
 

I finally had some free time and decided to release a vBulletin 3.7 version of my ever-so-popular vBulletin 3.6 style, Blaze. I plan on trying to support this style as much as possible, but due to the hectic nature of my life, I can't guarantee that it will always be timely. Please keep all support issues within the realms of this thread, and I will address them as quickly as I possibly can :)

If you enjoy my work, please make a donation to support the effort that I put into creating and maintaining my styles here on vBulletin.org. In return for a small donation of $1USD or more, I will allow you to remove the small promotional link that I have placed in the footer of my style.

vBulletin Version: 3.7.3

Thank you

Sharp looking Style :)

nice ;)

Images don't seem to be showing up for some reason, I uploaded the blaze directory the same as I have with other themes, any ideas?

PM me a link to your board, and I'll take a look.

The same is happening with me. I'm not getting any of the images.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. Make sure the directory to the images goes like this: forums/images/blaze/all the files.

Yeah - My internet went out on me before I could reply, but you just had uploaded the images to the wrong place. If you just upload the images folder in the .ZIP archive right into the root directory of your forum, it should work just fine.

Absolutely a great style :)

*Installed* - Got all my addons configured with it!

Glad you all like it!

Thanks Andew.

Just one thing, I want too make the forum logo link too the forum index, but the logo doesn't link to anything atm, can you please tell me how too get it going.

Thanks

In the header template, do the following.

Find:
Replace it with:

Ahh you legend! Thanks so much.

Just a bug, if you create a category(act as forum=no) WITHOUT any forums on it, it will screw the whole footer section up of the forum.

Yeah - It's a drawback to the category spacing modification that I used with the style. It's had that problem since vBulletin 3.0 unfortunately...

On my site, http://www.mtgoservices.com/forums, I have two (2) main categories for forums, General and Services. The General forums looks GREAT but the Services ones doesn't fit the layout. Did I code something wrong?

In your forum options, set Services forum = act as forum = no - It's an option.

You're telling it too be a category.

Brilliant! Thank you for the assistance!

Andrew,

Can you please define what optional upgrades you included in your update above?

Cheers,

Really like this one so far, will donate if I end up using it ;)

Andrew, absolutely love the style but my images does not show. Care to look at www.crewforumfriends.co.uk please?

Thanks. Very nice style.

How do I change the way the usernames show up, they are quite big and centered now, but I prefer to have them a bit smaller and to the left (along with the title).

My guess would be you uploaded them to the wrong directory. All you have to do is upload the images folder in the archive right over top of the image folder in the root of your forum's directory.

The changes between 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 are all outlined on vBulletin.com in the release thread. They're all very minor changes, but you can check there to see if any are of importance to you (There's too many to list here.)

That'd be in the postbit or postbit_legacy template. Just do in an in-text search for username, and you should find the section you need to edit.

outstanding mate.

edit: found it already didn't know there was a search option in the styles template.

very nice
i like it

Installed

I love the theme, and it's installed, but how do I keep the sidebar present at all times, not just on the index?

You'd have to move it from the forumhome template and into the header template. The only problem with this is that the statistics and such only work on forumhome, so the sidebar will have some errors on any other pages (I'm sure a coder to write something to globally build those items, but that's beyond the scope of my expertise.)

Andrew we love the templete.....

Have a quick question though..we would like to put some banners on the left side of forum..under the "Control panel" and "forum stats" is it possible???

I have looked in the left colum adverts templete but that doesn't seem to work. and...where do i change the top navagation bar font colors...i did it thru templete manager, but it's not showing changes for that top.

Thanks

edit....ok found where to add in the left side parts we wanted...but still stuck on the top nav text color

ok found that too....thanks for great looking template.

wow great style! Looks fantastic!

How can you make it so the forum statistics are in it's normal spot, in the "what's going on" area"? I want to use this style but I don't want a side bar.

You'll have to go in and make some changes on the forumhome template. You'll have do to delete the table column with the sidebar in it, and you'll have to cut and paste the portions missing from the Who's Online box out of the vBulletin Default style.

What if I just revert the forumhome template? Will that work or will it just mess it up?

I'm not honestly sure, as it's been quite a while since I coded this style. You can try reverting the template, but I would definitely make a backup of the existing template before you do just in case.

Indeed.

Andrew, I must say. This is one of the best vBulletin skins I've ever seen. Here's why:

1. Simple
2. Neat
3. Clean
4. Smooth
5. Coded Good. No template errors and such..
6. You update it regularly

I would very much like too see similar designs in different colours too. Maybe one without the left login column? Some of my users didn't like that (even though I do).


Cheers,

Hey Andrew, I'm having a weird problem, the style is only showing up on some computers even with same operating system, browser etc. For most users none of the formatting shows up. What am I doing wrong?

Hi again....

I want to add the leftcolumn_advertisement to the home page but can't find out how to add it.

I know it needs to be added to HOMEPAGE templete but I can't figure out what code to put in to make it work. I have tried
$ad_location[leftcolumn_advertisement] and

$leftcolumn_advertisement

to the homepage...but it doesn't work...is there something i am missing???
