Xbox Green Style

Thought I would share this as it's the old style for my site (In the process of creating a new one).

Also I have a template modification that displays a random logo. Details are in the readme on how to get this working. Let me know if you guys run into any bugs as this is my first time releasing a style.

edit: updated it so the style uses relative file paths for the images. Please update it so your not using images off my server.

You mean the logo's? Yeah that's fine. I would of provided a .psd file but I haven't found it yet. Perhaps I'll make a new .psd file so you guys can easily customize logo's.

Sweet!! I greatly appreciate it!!

Ok I included a .psd file in the zip now. Just replace the text layer with whatever text you want.

How about a .psd file of the button?

[SilentK]

Which button?

[forte]

The quote button. Or you can just tell me the exact RGB colors of it.

[SilentK]

Hmmm I definitly don't have a .psd of that laying around. Also all i did was take the standard quote button and colorize it. To tell you the truth i did it such a long time ago I don't remember what the rgb values are.

Silly question as i only just installed VB and this theme fits perfectly to what i want, i wanted to see what ym site looked liek without the logo so i went into edit the theme to do so and found this.

Image Paths:
All of these are pointing to your site, ie: http://www.xblteams.com/images/xbox/logo.jpg

Is this right or should they pointing to my /images/xbox/logo.jpg ?

I havnt tried playing with it as dont want to break anything.
Regards

Yes that's a mistake on my part. I had to use direct paths because of some other things I was using.

images/xbox/logo.jpg should work fine.

I'll go update the paths on my site and export an updated xml file to fix the changes for anyone who downloads it in the future.

Hehehe that explains why my bandwidth was up higher than normal.


edit: ok the new xml file is up. If you don't want to mess with the image path's yourself you can simply delete the current xbox style and reimport the xml (dont do this if you have any customizations in the style).

If you prefer to just do it manually all you have to do is delete http://www.xblteams.com// off the path so for example

htp://www.xblteams.com//images/xbox/logo.jpg

would now be images/xbox/logo.jpg I've tested it on my forum and it's working. Relative path's should work fine on your sites as well as long as you do not access it from different url's or area's so for example if you have a frame at http://www.domain.tld/frame/frame.html and your forums are at http://www.domain.com I believe you will get broken images and you will need to use absolute paths in which case

simply replace
http://www.xblteams.com//images/xbox/logo.jpg

with
http://www.yourdomain.tld/images/xbox/logo.jpg

if you have your forums in a sub directory
http:///www.yourdomain.tld/subdirect.../xbox/logo.jpg

On a side note if you want to change the header image you cannot do that in style vars as I override that with the random logo plugin.

to change the header image go to your plugin manager edit randomlogo

inside your should see

$imagearray[1]="images/xbox/logo1.jpg";
$imagearray[2]="images/xbox/logo2.jpg";
$imagearray[3]="images/xbox/logo3.jpg";
$imagearray[4]="images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$random=rand(1,4);

You can do several things here. You can simply upload over logo1.jpg and so on or you can point it to different images. To point it to different images just change the filenames above you may need to use relative or absolute depending where you placed the image.

Also to add or remove images to the random queue
just do this

$imagearray[1]="images/xbox/logo1.jpg";
$imagearray[2]="images/xbox/logo2.jpg";
$imagearray[3]="images/xbox/logo3.jpg";
$imagearray[4]="images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$imagearray[5]="images/xbox/logo4.jpg";
$random=rand(1,5);

if you have 5 images you need to update the numbers being passed to the rand function otherwise you'll never see the new image you added.

so if you have six images it would be rand(1,6) you can leave the 1 alone pretty much.

same deal if you remove images from the array.
