If you want to use the Steel Icons, overwrite your existing /images/icons directory with the included ones.

Import the xml file in your Style Manager.

Import the plugin file in your Plugin manager.

Edit the forumid of the top of forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost to that of your topmost forum.

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!

Demo: here.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant and CSS Compliant

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

Not sure why, but I've noticed that the welcome message does not show the username of the logged in person.

It just says... "Good evening, "

and that's it.

hi
i want to localize the style and i need the buttons BSD
any help in getting this

[OFFSHORE DAN]

Hey Kall I have been using this style on my forum. I was wondering if you were going to be releasing any other styles soon that have the SEO'ed stuff allready done like this one. Maybe a dark style. Red and Silver or Red and Black?

Thanks

Is there anyway to use this style with my Vb 3.51? It gives me the following message:

This file was created using a different version of vBulletin from the one you are running.

Your version: 3.5.1
File version: 3.5.0

Sorry about that, I had updated the templates but not the plugin.

Updated .zip in first post, now 3.5.1 ready, plugin is fixed and the navbar isn't that ugly non-formatted look.

Your the BEST Kall

Hi there!

Sorry for my incompetence - I'm just a fresh vBulletin-user. Thanks for that nice style!

I have downloaded it and installed. But a few pictures are not displayed (like screenshot). They are at the right place and the rights are the same.

Can you help me?

Best regards

Tobi

Silly question but.. did you upload the steelred/misc/ folder from the zip?

[tobi1105]

of course.

maybe it's because the german language is installed?

but the image path is right...curious...

[tobi1105]

Hm, it seems to be a server-problem - because I can't go IN the MISC-directory. "Access-denied" - I wonder because the rights are the same as "statusicon"... huh... :surprised:
