[vb 3.0.x] World of Warcraft - Medieval Skin - BETA test

Hi all,

I designed some skins for quite a while now, but I never had the occasion to "export" them. As this is the very first time I export one of my skins, I would like you to be careful and try the skin on a test forum before you use it.

Note: I developped the skin with Vbulletin 3.0.8 but I think it should be ok with previous version of Vbulletin in 3.0.x. Also, when I registered the xml, the add-on "Vbadvanced" was installed, I do not know if that can have any consequence for people who do not have this add-on installed. Any advice welcomed about that.

Please let me know if you see any problems, or if this ok etc...I really need feedback as this is my first draw.

INSTALLATION

1. Unzip the "Oldwow.zip" file on your hardrive
2. Upload images and folders (Except "Goodies") to your webserver where your forum is located, keeping the structure as it is when unzipped.
3. Go into the Vbulletin admin panel >> Style Manager >> Import the "Oldwow" XML file from your computer.


[EDIT] v1.1

The zip file now contains a new XML with the following modifications:


-> Changed the paths of the images. If you had downloaded the zip file before I made the changes, please go into your:
admin panel >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >> All Style Options (for Oldwow of course) , in the header and footer, cut the http://www.cms-gratuit.com/Mascarade/vb/ code.
Example, you should have:

background-image:url(images/tlc.gif)

instead of:

background-image:url(http://www.cms-gratuit.com/Mascarade/vb/images/tlc.gif).

This is also true for the "path of images" table, cut the cms-gratuit.com line...sorry about that, newbie error ;p.


-> I also changed the default "blue" you could see when loading the forum, on the categories, you should only see the texture from now on.

Thanks for your advice.

Sure. Juste go to your admin panel, style manager, all style options (in front of the corresponding style), look for the "dimensions and sizes" table (should be the first one, right below "phpinclude_end"), then replace the width of the main table "800" by "100%" and that should do the work .

I'll make the english buttons if you want, no problem (in the meantime, .psd files are included though). Just leaving for a well-deserved-break tomorrow, so you'll have them in about one week or so.

Great

Btw, is it possible to adjust the rest of the buttons and icons like "sendpm""email"? The original buttons and icons didn?t really fit in this great theme

Help please? I'm trying to port this file to run with the install zip's image files/folders placed in a directory named "oldwow_srp". I've edited the xml file to adjust the file references to point to "oldwow_srp/xxx" for xxx=buttons, gradients, icons, misc, and statusicons. I've checked in admincp and the uploaded/installed style seems to have the right directory specs -- ie, the previously mentioned directories are in oldwow_srp/xxx and the remaining directories (eg, attach, polls, etc.) remain pointed to their standard images/xxx paths.

When I run it the icons, header and page border are correct, but the inner backgrounds are not correct... ie, the table background is black and the area between the table and the border is white. What am I missing?

[dwessell]

Nevermind... I pretty much got it working by uploading the delivered xml file and editing the changes in via admincp. I have no idea why uploading the edited xml file failed to install some of the style.

This is a very nice style in my opinion. If you make the changes to English mentioned in an earlier message I'd be interested in getting a copy of them... until then I am using the standard buttons and icons -- doesn't look bad, but isn't as nice at the one for the style.

If you decide to enahnce this style, I'd suggest making it adjust it's sizing dynamically.

This a very nice style.

[G-Unot]

Wow very nice skin I will install this

[Snake]

That's pretty cool. Ever thought of updating it to vB 3.5 please?

[lanc3lot]

An update to 3.5 will be great i agree

[Tiberonmagnus]

I would also like an update to 3.5

[leoniec]

It seems to work still under 3.6, however the colours are a little off
