Z - Custom Site Closed

1 Attachment(s)

If you like me you really have to take your forum/site offline. To make it worse the vbulletin default forum/site closed screen is just too much or not how you would like to have it. With this mod you can easily change the way you forum/site looks like when your updating or just working on maintenance.

Installation:

Installed the product
Edit the template zClosed to your liking
Order a pizza and bring it to me :D

The template zClosed should be at the bottom of you list of templates or atleast near to the bottom.

The template zClosed is a basic vb4 template but you can change it however you would want to see it.

This should work with no problem on any vb4 forum. So far I have tested it up all the way to Gold PL1 personally.

This was originally done by Paul M and was mainly updated and will now be supported by me with his permission.

This is bad ass. It makes me want to shut my board down just to show it off. It only took a cpl minutes to throw together a pic and some html to test it out. I cant wait to have a few extra minutes to really make a nice cover.

This can be done by a simple img code in the Reason for closing the board box without a mod

Zaiaku

12-26-2009 12:34 AM

Actually no it can't. Becuase say you want to remove the header and footer and just want an image shown. This is what I used to build my vb4 site without anyone knowning that the sit was going to be using vb4. May want to test all the capabilities first.

Could you please supply more information on what we have to do to insert the image, where is the option to disable the board specifically so that the image shows up?

Thanks.

I don't want to hijack the guy's post here, so this is all I can say here.. I hope you'd understand (If theres a need I could post in another thread later)

You can insert a smiple html code for img in the the box where you put in the reason for closing the board (the only box under Vbulletin Options >> Close Board)

or you can use redirect link to another page/site in the same box

so if we put the image html into the description, then isnt this already implemented into vbulletin? to close your board? if yes, what does this product do then?

Zaiaku

12-26-2009 10:49 PM

What it does is instead of giving you just a portion of a page to edit when your site is closed it will give you an entire page to cusomized. Basically when your site is closed you can hide everything from the visitor. For example a completely blank page, or just a page with an image on it. Remove header and footer. You have complete control on what is shown to anyone who visits your site when its closed.

The default vb feature only gives you the center of a page to edit with the header and footer and style all visibile.

I do this becuase alot of visitors still try to go into their accounts and make changes or just still try to navigate teh site in some way. Since you able to change the entire page that they see you can stop them from doing or seeing anything.

K i tested it.... but for some reason it shows up in my chatbox as shown in this picture: http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...1Dec261949.gif

my site is at www.brotherhoodofgamers.com and for some reason it keeps spamming the chatbox with the image and the text, I don't know why, I disable the chatbox and try again and it then works fine, anyone know how to fix this please?

Bouncer222

12-26-2009 10:55 PM

And just reading your post after I posted that... it only changes the center, but the navigation and footer are still there.

Zaiaku

12-26-2009 11:06 PM

Looks like there's an autoedit on the chatbox mod you using. Which chatbox mod is it?

Bouncer222

12-26-2009 11:15 PM

This https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228046

Plus even when I disable the chatbox, for some reason it shows the "closed site" content only in middle, footer and the top of the site/login is still visible, the navbar.

Zaiaku

12-26-2009 11:17 PM

Nevermind I figured it out. You put that chatbox in your navbar which makes it global. Becuase the  will be on every single page even if the site is closed it will show no matter what.

You have 2 options:
1. Disabled the chatbox when you close you forums
2. Customise the zClosed template. (may just want to try removing {vb:raw navbar} )

If you need help making a template just for you send me a pm.

i have sent you a pm.

Zaiaku

12-26-2009 11:29 PM

Here's something easy for you to do. Replace everything in the zClosed Template with this

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">

  <head>

    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} is currently closed</title>

  </head>

  <body bgcolor="#000000" text="#222222" link="#222222" vlink="#222222">

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

<center>

<img src="http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/images/styles/augreensmc/gradients/augreen_logo.png">

<br />

{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} is currently closed for some serious updating.

<br>

We are doing our best to actually work on the site. We just not playing games, well not all the time.



  </body>

</html>

Just an example of possibilities you have with it.

just change the html coding.

I'm guessing you don't know HTML much:
change text="#222222" to text="#FFFFFF"

It's all HTML so you can change anything, I'm just giving you examples.

Yeah I know html kinda the basics... was just not sure :D but thanks! Great mod, nominated.
