Steel Blue 3.5.3

Steel Blue - The first in the Steel Series from the team at vBEnhanced.com.

Style Name: Steel Blue for vB 3.5.4
Style Version: 3.5.4 (SEO'd)


Features:

• Forum Status Icons Horizontal
• Rounded top and bottom corners
• Easily configured Javascript counter displaying time since forum launch on Forum Home
• Greeting conditional on day of week and time of day
• Custom statusicon and several misc images
• Some SEO elements (from T2Dman's most excellent seo vBulletin hack.) in the navbar.

I will NOT provide support for the removal of features of this style. If you want to remove things, look in the relevant templates and remove them.

This is the 3.5 Release of the Steel series in Teal for 3.5.4.

Customised statusicon, buttons/misc and gradients folders included.

***Additional Instructions***

vBAdvanced Users: Put nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 in the globalized variables section of your vBA AdminCP - Default Settings.

To change the 'Launch date' ticker on Forum Home, look in the FORUMHOME template, near the bottom. There is a start date field.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar, have a look in your nzbgreeting plugin.

To have the Forum images show up for selected forums, go into your forumhome_forumbit_level*_post templates (both level1 and level2) and look for the condtitional that reads:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(999,999)"> 


Change these ids to the ones you want to use.

Further on in the same template is this conditional:

PHP Code:

<if condition="!in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1,3,4,8))"> 


The array contains those Usergroup ids that we do NOT want to see the Start New Thread button.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant. And the CSS is compliant too.

(If you want support, you better have clicked INSTALL...I *can* see this you know.)

I've been using this excellent style on VB 3.0.X for some time now and have never had any problems at all.

I upgraded today to 3.5.1 and used the new version of the skin.

I have now lost the quick reply box and just can't figure out what happened. All the options are enabled, but it just doesn't appear.

Has anyone else had this problem? I know its a stupid question but I really am not very good with this stuff.

Thanks

Nathan..

[Pvtiste]

very nice looking ! thanks for sharing

I'm having a problem that I actually saw mentioned in this thread a while back, but I didnt ever see a response that explained the resolution.

I've attached a screen capture to illustrate the problem. Meta data is being displayed in the welcome message. I'd like to clean the look of the page up and get rid of the second block. How do I edit what is displayed in this section?

I'm a recent re-convert to VB and still getting reoriented. I defected for over 2 years to IPB, but I had finally had enough. Please bear with me while I get things figured out all over again.

Also... I know many have asked so I dont expect a different result than anyone else, but any chance of getting the PSD files? I have a darker page background and the buttons went from looking great on white to looking awful on the darker background. I can create new ones, but this would save me a ton of time.

Great skin.

How can I get the create new thread and the new post icons away from the front page?

@Wolf: Thank you, I have implemented the fix you provided.

@nexusone: Check my signature.

@FRMTRK: Done! Updated to 3.5.2.

Thank you!

I will test it out on my forums and then integrate it.

@speedoleague: add nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 to the Globalized Variables section of your vBAdvanced Settings.
