The highlight of this skin is it uses only one vB templates and 9 Cascading style sheet, it means you have to customise or update only one template each time not 9 and the colors changes without the page reload - this is done using Js...
There are 2 xml file, the only difference is the design on forum home page :
1) bingo - default forum home in vB3x.
2) bingo_forumhome_vb4 - the forum home looks similar to vb4x
Use the one you like...
Few instructions to follow:
To enable the latest Threads to display on the footer:
Quote:
1. Go to 'vBulletin Options>vBulletin Options>External Data Provider'
2. Set 'Enable External Javascript' to 'Yes'
3. Set 'Cache Lifespan' to any given value between 1 to 1140 Rread the description for further information. For the quickest turnaround time on new threads, set to 1. Note: This causes the data provider to use maximum resources)
4. Set 'Maximum External Records' to 5 (recomended or the footer will look crap).
To add your blog link:
Quote:
1. Go to 'Styles & Templates> header
2. Find > <a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
3. next/below to that, insert the following code:
Psd files for the header logo and the footer logo are zipped for your convenience and you need to insert your logo or text and save in all 9 colors bg - which you will find in both psd...
Keep the same size for the logo as in psd, the same width and height or it may break the design...
Addtional info:
Button psd are provided in the zip for translation purpose and i have already created the "Thanks" and "Groan" buttons which are inside the button folder...
The skin passed the validation, 100% HTML 1.0 and CSS level 2.1
Do not remove my copyright text at the footer 'Design by Minerskinz.com' if you want to remove the copyright make a donation and PM me with your forum URL...
Please click install if you download the skin and if i reach the 100 installed mark here, i will release my next new free skin...
I got the latest threads to work...but it only works w/i the /forums/ directory. I have vbadvanced. The placeholder shows on the main page....but the threads do not. How do I get them to show?
Add your domain name and forums folder in the footer of the latest thread code:
one in source and another in <a href="">
Code:
<!-- BEGIN LATEST THREAD CODE -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yourforums.com/forum/external.php?type=js"></script>
<script language="" type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (var x in threads)
{
document.writeln("<p><a href=\"http://www.yourforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a></p>");
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- END LATEST THREAD CODE -->
