Steel Blue 3.5.3

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

Style Name: Steel Blue for vB 3.5.4
Style Version: 3.5.4 (SEO'd)


Features:

• Forum Status Icons Horizontal
• Rounded top and bottom corners
• Easily configured Javascript counter displaying time since forum launch on Forum Home
• Greeting conditional on day of week and time of day
• Custom statusicon 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.

This is the 3.5 Release of the Steel series in Teal for 3.5.4.

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.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar, have a look in your nzbgreeting 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(999,999)"> 


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 the CSS is compliant too.

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

Glad you got it figured out people.. remember the following, if you use vBACMPS: vBAdvanced Users: Put nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 in the globalized variables section of your vBA AdminCP - Default Settings.

All the mod controls on the forum list work fine.

However inside a post they don't. You tick the posts you want to moderate and you can select what action you want to carry out, Merge/Delete etc. You can even click the "go" button, but it doesn't do anything.

If I select the standard Vbulletin skin, that still works fine!?!

Thanks for your time

I don't know what's wrong there.. I have just tried it on vbenhanced.com and I am afraid I will have to play the 'works for me' card on this one.

Try importing it as a child to the default style again.

What's involved in upgrading from version 3.5.1 to version 3.5.3 of this style? Is it just as simple and importing the updated xml? Will that wipe out any customizations done to templates?

A much safer way would be to go into FORUMDISPLAY and change

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="imod" align="center">

to

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="imod" align="center" title="$vbphrase[moderation]">

.. importing the xml will overwrite any changed templates that you have customised.

The changes from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 don't actually require reverting on any of the templates changed for the Steel Styles.

That's easy!

Thanks!

I was just about to post asking about this myself. Any response would be most appreciated!

Actually, I rather like the customized greeting shown in the screenshots. Any chance of implementing that?
