Yes, its finally here.

No longer will you need to create duplicate templates just to set a few custom colors on the forum level.

I don't have a use myself, but it was heavily requested, so I figured what the heck! Yes Nathan, this will work great with the InfoGrames boards

There are nicers ways of going about this than what I did, but this required the least table modification and code changing, so it should be fine.

This was lightly tested on my test board, and all seemed to work well, but no guarentees. I suggest you backup global.php (main directory, not admin) before making any changes.

Here's how it works:

You go to the style page (styles.php) and it brings up a list of all forums. To the right of those forums are numbers, and they all are equal to 0. Those numbers represent the number of custom style settings represented in that specific board. So if you only change the <body> tag, that number will display 1. If you customize it completely, the number will be higher.

Also, since some forums might only require small changes, those fields which you don't specify will use the installation default (what you set in the existing styles section).

Yea, the interface is pretty ugly and the code isn't much better...but its fast, and it works.

Everything else will be improved upon with time, as long as this thread is as popular as Ed's are!

Directions:

execute the following mysql command:
Code:
ALTER TABLE replacement ADD forumid SMALLINT (5) DEFAULT '0' not null;
if you don't know how, then create replacementfid.php: (in /forum, or /forum/admin)
Code:
<?
require ("global.php");
if (mysql_query("ALTER TABLE replacement ADD forumid SMALLINT (5) DEFAULT '0' not null")) {
print "Success!";
} else {
print "Failed!";
}
?>
open global.php: (in /forum, not /forum/admin)
look for:
Code:
// load vars
$vars=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM replacement ORDER BY replacementid DESC");
delete up until:
Code:
// ###################### Start standarderror #######################
place in that spot:
Code:
// ###################### Start dovars #######################
function dovars($vartext,$fid=0) {

  // parses replacement vars

  global $DB_site;
  global $forumid;
  global $vars;

  // load vars

$cusvars=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM replacement where forumid = $forumid ORDER BY replacementid DESC");

  $newtext=$vartext;

  $DB_site->data_seek(0,$cusvars);

  $forumspec = "";

  while ($cusvar=$DB_site->fetch_array($cusvars)) {
    $newtext=str_replace($cusvar[findword],$cusvar[replaceword],$newtext);
    $forumspec .= "and findword != '$cusvar[findword]' ";
  }

$vars=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM replacement where forumid = 0 $forumspec ORDER BY replacementid DESC");

  $DB_site->data_seek(0,$vars);
  while ($var=$DB_site->fetch_array($vars)) {
    $newtext=str_replace($var[findword],$var[replaceword],$newtext);
  }

  return $newtext;
}
save and close.

create styles.php: (in /forum/admin, not /forum)

update: it appears, since I'm using replacement variables in the code, that this vBulletin installtion is actually replacing the code on the fly. to get the code for styles.php, please go to the following url:
http://unreal2.net/styles.phps

start forum/admin/styles.php from your web browser

Easy enough? Of course...

No demo, since I don't have a use for it, but if Nathan (hint hint) or someone else could put it into use to demonstrate, that'd be great!

Does anybody have this hack installed? I have asked repeatedly for the styles.php file and have got nothing so far. I am hoping and praying that somebody who has the hack installed might be kind enough to provide me the file.

PLEASE!! That is, unless this hack just does not work. A reply would be nice tho.

I will keep bumping this to the top until I get an answer because this hack solves a MAJOR problem with amissing feature in vBulletin. My UBB does not have this problem and this is a major reason why I have not completely switched over yet.
