• Added Blog & CMS xmls

Updated 4.2 b1a

Feature: Added a Blue version.

Updated to 4.2-b1: Since there were some fairly large changes since 4.1.4 somethings may look a bit different but all in all the style remains in its original form.

Awesome, Thx for this perfect style for my gaming site, saves my designing one now :)

Creating a new Style called 'Blackend'

Please Wait...

Hm, Okay looking into this.

Confirming the style is fine... Your error looks to be a sever error, and not a problem with the style, good luck

I cannot duplicate this, have installed on 3 sites with no issues. Sorry I have no fix for your problem or advice other than disable plugins and try again.

Server error? you got to be joking right? I am installing a theme which is images and a style file that's it.

To make a point I just downloaded and uploaded gaming https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245625 and it worked with out a problem.

I will disable the plugins and see if I can get the theme to work on my forum. Thanks for the help :)

UPDATE: I disabled the plugins via config.php and I still have the same error :( damn such a nice theme as well so close but yet so far from using it lol.

Try this xml please.

Hi Qwk86gn still have the same problem here is the error:

Are you using vBulletin 4.0.4?

This style is mostly graphical, all templates are basically left unchanged. So I'm really at a lose here.

Hmmm I am thinking I should upgrade to 4.0.4! let me upgrade the forum and then I will see how I go with installing this theme :)

LOL yeah going to upgrade now mate thanks bud

Back and updated to 4.0.4 and the theme works :) now we know that this theme will not work with 4.0.3 :) thanks for one of the best free dark themes for VB mate you have done a great job.

Just a small note for some reason the styles folder needs to have a CAP S ( Styles ) for the theme to work though other themes have a small s ( styles ) thought I would let ya know.

thanks for a great theme

Trippy

The folder directory is something that is not a "set" thing among styles. I have a tendency to use Caps like that. No harm and it keeps styles from ********** only in the Styles folder. Some designers just upload their styles in the vbroot/images directory.

Hello... I am quite fond of your theme here... I was just wondering how difficult would it be to simply change the orange on black that you have to something like... red? thank you! nice job :)

Would take changing all link_colors throughout the style and re-coloring a couple images. Feel free to sign up at my site and put your request in the "Request" forum.

vBgraphix.com

i just loaded a new version of VB 4.04 CMS suite. when i loaded the theme i get this


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/01/32.jpg

Looks as if you didnt get the files uploaded in the right folder directory.

When you extract the zip, upload everything in the "upload" folder to your "images" directory of your vbulletin install.

Hey not to keen on freestyles but this is dam sexy, my conversions rates / site sign ups have increased 300%... WOULD BE HAPYTO MAKE A DODNATIONS FOR YOU FOR THIS STYLES.

tHANKAS AGAIN.

thank you sir i will try it again

ok still having some issues with it.... when i go to my ftp and load the folders. i have a folder called blackend, within it i have the readme file the xml file and the folder called upload. within that folder another folder called styles. i must be putting everything in the wrong place. also if i load this theme it takes over and i cannot use the default theme unless i remove the blackend and reimport the derfault theme

ok tried it this time by loading styles to my images folder and then importing the xml from the hard drive on my PC. it now lets me swap between the two but still only shows red Xs for the buttons....

thank you for your time

Could I get a link to your site with the style selectable?

Thanks.

support 4.0.2?

"support 4.0.2?"

Update to 4.0.4 !! 4.0.2 is full of bugs

I had the same problem

You need to upload Blackend like this in your ftp:

forum/images/Styles/Blackend

It has to be 100% like that Styles has a cap S not a small s

refresh and it should work

That's a great looking skin, thanks very much, just what I was looking for.

EDIT: its working now! www.chevyk5blazer.com/forums/forum.php

also does the blackened.xml need to be in the server as well? i tried uploading it from my hard drive and also importing it from my server..

lastly the balcend theme is lingering in my blog widgets and now i cant use my CMS widgets

I RELOADED IT IT IS WORKING!!!! but it does not alter the CMS page? is that normal?

also can i change the logo at the top in the same fashion i changed the default one?

Try setting Blackend as your default style in the AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Style & Language Settings -> Default Style "Blackend"

Let me know if that does not work.

Yes on the logo. In StyleVars for Blackend search for: titleimage

Set the path to your logo.

logo worked but the default selection of blackend didnt change the CMS... i may have underlying issues with the CMS since the first botched install attempt of the theme... it will not display widgets anymore. i tried to rebuild the default style and i even ran my tools.php program to reimport the default theme but no luck...

On your Home Page click on the edit pencil next to the page title. There you should see a "Style" choice. Select Blackend.

On the Widgets I'm not sure what your problem might be.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you!

BTW qwk 86 GN mean grand national?

ok one last thing i found for today and i promise to enjoy this theme and quit nit picking....

on my default theme in stylvars>postbit_content_image_max_width i set it to 640 and all the pictures members put in the [img] code would not excede 640 px... but when i do that in the blackend theme stylevars it wont resize the pics

Yes it does. I have had a few GNs in my stable before. :)
Was going to sign up at your site as it looks like a good hangout!

Will look into this asap.

sign up come on in man we would love to have ya... we just suffered a major crash and i recently bought out my partners in the site.... the PC literate ones! oops on my part right? but we are rebuilding and this new VB is part of the new stuff..... we got a great bunch of guys and basically all the members follow the good ole boy code... so no need for alot of moderation and censorship... like hangin at the local shop watchin wrenches fly.... id almost trade my hawk for a GN i love those turbo badboys..... but maybe i just need a turbo firehawk?

Alright I found the problem for the postbit_content_max_image_width.

Use this xml and overwrite your current Blackend style.

OP updated with fix.

Thanks Street.

Hi guys, the more I mess with setting up my new vBul 4 forum with this skin the more I like it. Here is my forum http://www.southeastutv.com/site1 its a temp domain while I et it ready as i already have a forum up and dont want to move the domain just yet.

Anyhooooo, it appears they may be some small icon missing from this skin, or maybe you can show me the user error. If you look on my home page you will see the widgets on the left and they have no icons. If you right click on the red x telling you the image cannot be displayed it shows it is looking for - http://www.southeastutv.com/site1/im...icons/html.png.

That file simply doesn't exist. The directory structure does but not the file.

I have just copied it from the default skin into this one, just a heads up on the missing firle though. :-)
