Honestly, MikeLac, probably the best post I've seen from someone on my threads. You first wanted something different, but then you told people how to make it that different. Thanks x10

The sections widget operates like that for me too. I'm wondering if it's a 4.0.1 glitch. I think it is.
We'll have to wait till 4.0.2 to see if they fixed it. It doesn't occur with the categories.

Edit: Can I see a link to your site? I'd like to see your changes.

Sure thing!

My site is at: WainwrightForum.com

I have made it my Default theme.

For the Logo, I used the same colors as your Twilight Logo. I created it using cooltext.com and Photoshop.

For the Sections, I created 30 Sections with approx. 650 Subsections. Just like an Article directory! Eventually, I will have a separate layout for every single Main Section and Sub Section! I have a different layout for the first 20 Main Sections so far. I started creating my Forum on Dec. 21st.

By the way, I was on your Forum yesterday and I read your thread about installing the Stop Forum Spam Mod. That Mod is incredible! I have had it installed since Jan. 3rd and only one Spammer has gotten through. Only because he was not on any Spam lists. Lately, it has been rejecting approx. 10 Spammers a day. Spammers were registering at my Forum since the day I purchased and installed the Forum Software back on Dec. 21st. Which was odd, because nobody knew about my Forum yet. There is one source which creates a lot of Spam for every single Vbulletin Forum owner. Everybody that purchases Vbulletin gets a link to their Forum added to the list of all Vbulletin Owners. How convenient! A One Stop Shopping center for Spammers! How else would Spammers find out about my site from day one. I am going to see if I can get my link removed. You will find that this Mod will solve your Spammer problems. I only filter Email and IP addresses. I did not bother filtering User IDs.

Now, back on topic.

That is certainly strange how the Sections widget changes to a bright pink when the cursor is over it. I thought that you designed it that way since it doesn`t do it with my other Styles. It will be interesting to see what bugs version 4.02 will fix.

One more thing that I changed. It has nothing to do with your Style. I make this change with every Style that I install.

The RSS Widgets cut out the descriptions. It shows the titles only. If you want the descriptions as well, then this is how to do it:

Edit Template

Vbulletin CMS Templates ==> vbcms_widget_rss_page

Replace the following:

<!-- /////// Commenting out Summary and Author
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.summary} <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.author} <br />
-->

With:

<!-- /////// Commenting out Summary and Author -->
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.summary} <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw detail.author} <br />


I am sure that it is very frustrating when you spend several hours creating Free Styles and people have nothing better to do than criticize your work. That would drive me nuts! I always try to make suggestions for improvements without making it sound like I am being critical. Everybody likes things differently. For example, I liked the Hyperlinks changed to Orange. Many others probably liked them just the way they were. :up:

Before Dec. 21st, I knew nothing about Vbulletin, other than being a registered user of a few Forums. But I love to tinker with things! That is how I learn!

[daveaite]

Very nice what you did to the place. I see what you mean by the section highlighting. I'll need to release a new version though since I did not mean to put pink as a background color.

You can change the background by going to stylevars > vbcms_navwidget_menuitem_background
and
vbcms_navwidget_menuitem_hover_background Apply this color: #0BB59A, looks nice, or any color.

Thats a large section by the way. My test forum has the defective highlight as well, so thats why I think it operates like that (as a unit).

Thanks for the RSS fix. And yeah it's a bit frustrating, it actually happens to be just one member of vbulletin that just pops in every once in awhile, I asked admins to delete his posts, I'm sure there too busy right now applying 4.0.2 and getting everything ready for release.

Another great post by you, I had to spend the time to write a lengthy one back. And I'm a tinkerer as well. I only started web site development and design 2 years ago, and I've come a decent way, more than I expected. I'm just about to graduate as a Civil Engineer at FSU, but the funny thing is, I find web development alot more fun and exciting. Every door you open up, seems to have 1 million more things to learn. The competition is fun too. Okay that was my sidetrackness on my post as well. Haha.

Anyways, I couldn't help but notice, a link to cbmall.com. Do you own that site? Looks like a killer site. Congrats xD

[MikeLac]

I purchased CB Mall awhile back and never did much with it. I thought that the Forum would be a perfect place to have a link to it! The CB Mall cost $97.

It is all about Affiliate marketing. Do you have a Clickbank Affiliate Account? With CB Mall, your Clickbank Affiliate ID is inserted into every single product. The CB Mall has pretty much every product that is in the Clickbank Marketplace. It is better organized and has better product descriptions than Clickbank. Jeff Mulligan owns and operates CB Mall. He is one of the VERY FEW Internet marketers that I pay attention to. He does not abuse his mailing lists by trying to promote every product under the sun. When I do receive an Email from Jeff promoting another product, the product is usually pretty good. I can tell that he has tried the product and really believes in the product. Most Internet Marketers couldn`t care less if you buy a crappy product as long as they get a commission from it.

I used to do a lot of advertising on Google Adwords promoting Clickbank products. Did quite well with it. Until Google became a public company and decided to gouge the advertisers for more money in order to please their share holders. Not to mention the many hoops I have to jump through just to get my Ads to show. I stopped giving Google money about 1 and a half years ago. Now I want to concentrate on Google Adsense and take money from Googles pockets.

My Clickbank ID is Reviewsggl. If you go to the order page of ANY product in the CBMall on my site, you will see at the bottom of the page: Affiliate = "Reviewsggl"

I have been designing web sites myself for about 7 years now. I did the same as you. Learned myself from scratch. Lots of tinkering. If I saw something that I liked on another site, I would copy the site and play around with it on my Computer to see exactly how it was done. I use Dreamweaver and Microsoft Expression Web.

Thanks for the Background color change. I will make the change in about 18 hours from now. I am going to bed now. It is 12:25 AM where I live and I have to be at work for 6:30.

TTYL!

[daveaite]

Ah, Same here, I will write a more quality response tommorrow. (2.36am)

[MikeLac]

I installed your Live Life Style about an hour ago. Marked as Installed, 5 stars. Same with this Style!

Now I see where the Pink highlighting with the Sections widget came from!

I left the Pink highlighting alone with the Live Life theme because it looks good with that Theme. I changed the Highlighting color with the Twilight theme to the one you suggested in your previous post.

I also changed the Hyperlinks color as well as the Hover Hyperlinks color in the Live Life Style. Have a look at my site and let me know what you think!

Picking a good color for the Hyperlinks is a bit more challenging for me. Mainly because of the Arcade. The Arcade background is White. So, I have to try and pick a color that looks good on white as well as a Red background for the Live Life Style. Orange looks good on a white background as well as the dark background in the Twilight Style.

[daveaite]

Hey Hey, Yeah time to update the twilight theme. Thanks

The green highlight actually looks pretty cool how it just lights up the forum when you highlight over it. I got to hurry up and update this before more ppl download it. haha

[daveaite]

Updated. v.1.0.2
-New status icons
-Fixed cms glitches
-Improved cms look as well! I think you may need to fix your cms Mike, I've improved the look of the widgets.

[MikeLac]

I deleted the Twilight Style completely. I also deleted the Twilight images folder from my server. Then I uploaded the images folder from your latest update. Then installed the new Twilight Update. Then I edited the Twilight Style to my preferences.

Looks good!

I will also register at your Forum Skins site in the next day or two. Those are my kind of topics! (Google Optimization, SEO Strategies, and Marketing) :up:

[daveaite]

Yeah, Very nice. Taking a look at the site atm. If I can give you one tip, you can blend your google ads by changing the background color as well, that way they don't stick out as much. Either to a black background or a dark blue. Advantages are that users will click on it more if its blended with the site.

Also when I was registering for your forum, I noticed this error:

The file /home/wainwrig/public_html/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style00000l/vbulletin.css is missing. This would indicate your forum is not set to save CSS on the filesystem. If you are certain it is, try running Compress CSS again.

To prevent issues, your forum is currently running without optimised CSS as a fallback.

Check the installation package and just find vbulletin.css. I think writing over that file or adding vbulletin.css back to its location should fix that problem. Not really too sure. Are you using custom mods?
