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.

You may NOT remove or alter the copyright phrase in the footer.

Updates

How come the navbar greeting disapears after awhile? Can I fix it to keep it there all the time?

I am very impressed with this style. I have been hoping for one like this to replace many of my out of date styles. I am glad you have this in multiple colors. Thanks so much for sharing. I have already begun using it (you may view it with my css changes.... I have made the changes to replace old colors I had before).

THANK YOU!

I'd just like to have plain text over there without the bars.

Hmm.. you could either edit postbit(_legacy) to remove all the instances of the css class (nzbpostbit IIRC), or edit the actual class in the Main CSS portion of your Style Manager.

The second option would be better. Just remove the border parts.

I have installed the zonits tags sytem. can I add a icon in the navbar beside the tag? It seems that I cant' find the tag code in navbar template.

IIRC, the modification adds the tag link on the fly, through plugins.

You would need to edit the plugin itself, ask at Zoints for assistance with that.

Hey Ace, Will there be an upgrade to 3.6.3 for this awesome style? I hope
