If you are running vBadvanced, add nzbgreeting and nzbgreeting2 to the Globalized Variables section of the vBA Admin CP area.


***Additional Instructions***

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 php_include_start template.

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(2, 3)"> 


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.

Enjoy!

*edit* fixed a bug in the navbar template that caused 'an error when attempting to log you out'. Thanks to breaume for reporting the bug.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant and CSS Compliant

(I have just checked BOTH xmls. Both work. You are doing something wrong. Maybe importing the plugin as a style or a product or something.)

when I install show this

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 689

thanks mr.kall good job ...

Thanks for another great style!

I have one question, though.

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post:
Would it be possible to separate the forum description from the forum image? And the "search for new posts" and "start new thread" images?

So that the text doesn't appear beneath the icons?

Like on the image attached. (I tried to do that, but then the "search for new posts" and "start new thread" images got out of place.

You want to change that bit...

*sighs*

That bit was the hardest for me to get compliant and still look good. It's a pretty delicate area.

At a guess .. add a   after the code for the image?

great style
i would love to install it but do you have the psd files so i can translate the buttons for my forum?
that would be great

I love this style... but for some reason whenever I try to use the Quick Reply, I get an error saying that the message I entered was too short. The limit I have set on my board is 5 characters minimum, I entered 20+. It only happens on this style, my other style's Quick Reply works fine. Any ideas? I really want to use this style... but only if the Quick Reply will work.

Edit: Just realized this is for RC3, that's why it wasn't working. Upgraded and everything is now working great.

Does it not look like the footer in: http://www.nzboards.com/forums/?styleid=258 ?

Post a screenshot please.

I noticed this and I think it is to do with the table layout in the footer, if you don't have the style dropdown enabled and the language drop down at the bottom you get some missing columns in the row above, I just added a colspan to mine.

[Brandon Sheley]

Can I ask you where you edit this ?
I'd like to add it to the other stlye,
It's awsome, at least i think so.
I looked in navbad and header but didn't see it,, I think its in navbar but can u see me where i can get the code for the welcome block on the index
