Steel Blue 3.6.x

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
• Easily configured Javascript counter displaying time since forum launch on Forum Home
• Greeting conditional on day of week and time of day
• 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.

I love the style and had great luck with the 3.5 version. I just upgraded my forums, hacks, etc. and uploaded this style. For whatever reasons some of the things I had no problem with before, I am having trouble with in this version.

1) The navbar and category strips have different coloring and gradients on my cmps than they do on my forums, and links pages (navbar appears purple).

2) When viewing a thread, my linkbacks dropdown menu only shows two options rather than displaying the digg, delicious, furl, and other links.

3) Certain things show up quite different in IE than they do in Firefox (mainly cmps recent threads module).

Also, I was wondering if anyone knows how to move my vbseo copyright underneath the vbenhanced copyright to balance out the footer a bit. If anyone can help with any of these issues I would certainly appreciate it. The website I am currently working on is TheMoneyPost.com. Thanks in advance, Brady.

Hi Brady,

Thanks for the compliments.

1. Did you go into your style manager and update all of the image paths (including the gradient urls) to be Fully Qualified (eg: instead of /images/steelblue/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif - http://www.themoneypost.com/forums/i...ent_tcat.gif)?

2. You need to add something to the template for the vBSEO links. Please ask over at www.vbseo.com.

3. I don't know why that would be happening.. best to ask at www.vbenhanced.com.

4. You sure can move the vbeso copyright, just follow the instructions in the vBSEO install readme, insert the copyright code snippet where you want it to go, and it will go there.
