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

Style Name: Steel Blue for vB 3.6.1/2/3/4/5/6/7
Style Version: 3.6.7

Features:

• Forum Status Icons Horizontal
• Rounded top and bottom corners

• Custom statusicon, buttons 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.

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.

PHP Code:

setcountup(2005,10,03) 


Change the date in YYYY,MM,DD format.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar,

Have a look in your Steel Style - Navbar Greeting 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(4,999)"> 


Change these ids to the forumids of the Forums you want to display images for. (These images are not supplied. 4.gif is an example. You must make your own images.)

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.

Seems to be a CMPS issue and I've found the fix

In the Style Manager for your styles change the following CSS settings:

Category Strips > Background

Set the full URL in my case

#5860AD url(http://forum.speedoleague.org.uk/for...dient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left

Then do the same for Table Header > Background and Popup Menu Controls > Background

Ahh, yes. I have fixed this, and added viewtopic.gif

I have also added a line to the install.txt regarding uploading your existing buttons, misc and statusicon folders, choosing to skip all, to make sure you have all the required images.

Regarding postbit_legacy: I had already fixed the weird logic in that line that was fixed by Jelsoft for 3.6.1.

great template!!! Just installed, two basic questions though...

1. Purple Fill?

When my site loads slowly, I see "purple" before the category strips load??? When I look in the template, I do not see the purple anywhere??? Any ideas? I would simply like the background of the category strips to be closer to the "teal" blue...

Anyone else figure this out?

2. Greeting?
Also where do I actually find the NavBar Gretting plugin? Can't find in Pluigins, or in my style???

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar,
Have a look in your Steel Style - Navbar Greeting plugin.
