IPB3 Style on vB4 Suite
A simple port featuring styling from IPB3. Features some new thread marker icons. Changed around the search box to allow more room for the navigation bar to spread out if sites have more than normal tabs. Be aware that for the tab size it is 120px for the tab image alone. Don't make your site width shorter than your navbar tabs width. Otherwise you'll break it. For any additional header image it's suggested to use the following template to insert them into. AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager->IPB Style->Edit Templates. Select Ad Location Tempaltes->ad_global_header1. It's a blank template so just insert the image code.
To Install: PLEASE Revert all templates before upgrading. I've scaled down on templates that are modified to 3 (additional.css, vbulletin-chrome.css, and footer.css)
* GoTo AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Download / Upload Styles and import the xml file into a new style
* FTP the image folder into your root forum directory. This will create a directory images/IPB.
I've checked out the layout for IE 7, Firefox 3, Safari 4, and Chrome. Any other browsers I haven't see what it looks like. IE6 may have some issues because of the png files.
Included is the zip file:
Image Directory with images.
XML File to import
PSD logo to add your own logo/graphics
Supported Layouts for vBulletin
-CMS
-Forums
-Blogs
Hmm i like it. But the logo kinda is all by its self. Like it is a bit to far spaced. Also search kinda is all alone and people wouldn't know about it.
I didn't want it to look to much like ipb. As to the search I'll work that in with the upgrade of vb that's not too far off. Thank you for the input.
Small bug: you have your collapse/expand images reversed. [collapse_40b.png] should be the minus, but instead displays the plus and [collapse_40b_collapsed.png] should display the plus and instead displays the minus. In other words, you want to be clicking on a plus sign to expand and on a minus sign to collapse. They're also a bit too low / out of line in the Posting Permissions block at the bottom of the forumdisplay and showthread pages.
Ah, just noticed too... a couple of your thread marker icons (envelopes) are wrong. The "no unread posts" is actually "unread posts" and the "unread posts" is actually unread_dot (thread you posted in).
Thanks SA. I'll switch those and fix the others noted here. There is a few other fixes as well. But I want to wait for 4.0.2 release early next week as I'm hoping it's a more stable one as to the style variables go.
