***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.


Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant and CSS Compliant

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

Thanks that did the trick. :banana:

Don't mean to be a pain. :ermm:

But I cannot get the greeting to show on the VBA Home Page. I add the nzbgreeting and nzbgreeting2 to the Globalized Variables section of the vBA Admin CP area. It shows up in the forums page but not the VBA.


Should I be see the nbzgreeting2 in the plugins manager

nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 .. the underscore has to be there.

Oh Kall!!!! Thank you, thank you! I was really hoping you'd come out with the purple so I wouldn't have to redo mine. :banana:

You just saved me a ton of work. I'll definitely be using this when I make the switch to 3.5.

Bender!!

To remove it, just strip out the javascript section from the FORUMHOME template. To configure it, add your own start date in the section on FORUMHOME (in the javascript towards the bottom).

Seems to be running fine on a fresh install of VB 3.5.0 Gold

OK, how do you alter the main table width to 100%? I noticed that at 1024X768 my full width logo is fine, but at 800X600 it is too large with a fair bit of space on the left/right side of the main table. Also as this style is for RC3, any issues with Gold??

Any help appreciated.

Does changing it in the StyleVars not work?

As far as I know, no issues as yet. I will try to release a 100% Gold Certified version this weekend though.
