Bingo! the new vB skin in 9 colors...

Here is my latest creation Bingo -the new professional vB style comes in 9 colors! Yes in 9 color variations...

For vb 3.8.3

View Demo

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:

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:

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:

<a id="blog_menu" href="$show[nojs_link]#blog_menu">$vbphrase[blogs]</a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("blog_menu", 1); </script>

Then Goto> Navbar > find <!-- / user cp tools menu --> after that add the code below:

<!-- blog_menu -->
    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="blog_menu_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
            <tr><td class="thead"><a href="blog.php">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist">Blog Directory</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist&blogtype=best">Best Blogs</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=list&blogtype=best">Best Entries</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_search.php?do=search">Find Blogs</a></td></tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    <!-- / blog_menu -->

If using vBa:

1. Go to 'Styles & Templates> edit templates > headinclude > scroll down > find:

Add http://www.yourforums.com/forum/

before the images/ (in all 10 lines)


Changing the logo to yours:

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...

Hope you like it, enjoy bingo!!

I second this. I would like to see the sub-forums on forum listing page (Forumhome).

I am having the same problem with the footer where my navigation section (center) is out of wack at the bottom

Thanks!
Chris
p.s. I have gotten lots of positive feedback on this particular skin so it will be my final one that goes into the live site. Right now this is a test area.

A slight issue, the last 3 themes to the right... the nav text is white and you can barely see it. How do I change that please.

[ricardoNJ]

Somebody tested in 3.8.4. ?

nevermind - seems to only be a problem on older versions of internet explorer like what I am forced to use at work
Chris
p.s. - I use on 3.8.4 and have not had issues.

[QUOTE=foruma-z;1839273]Goto header templates and find this

<a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
after add the links needed:
<a href="#">Arcade</a>

QUOTE]

hello!
Someone asked how to add a tab to the top... this was the answer. This actually only places a link on the navigation area UNDER the tabs. I looked though the header and see where to add to get more tabs but my coding skills are not that great so get a bit nervous here....

I want to make a tab that says "Store" on it. It should point to http://www.ecardmodels.com/shop how do i do this?
Thanks!
Chris

Same question I have!

[Nadeemjp]

hello miners
i think i posted a question here but i cant seem to find it.

i have set this theme as my vbadvanced home page.
the problem is that the links in the navbar do not work.
how do i make them work?

when i set this style as forum viewing style, the navbar works, it is just that it doesnt work on vbadvanced cmps.

also the images are fine. i have copied the folder of images so no problem in broken image links.

please help

thanx

Great look! I already installed it and have done a bit of customizing to fit our theme.

Question though. Is there a easy way to constrain the width?

My forum is for a game site and many members use large wide screen monitors. It would be nice to make it the same width regaurdless of monitor size.
