OK, I found one fix -

In profile.php

Find:

$templatename = 'modifystyle';

Replace with:

// draw cp nav bar
	construct_usercp_nav('style');
	$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['edit_style'];
	$templatename = 'modifystyle';

That will make the colors appear correctly when you are in the actual style preview page.


I was having problems getting the code to work correctly to fix the color on the usercp, so here is a sloppy patch until it actually gets fixed.

In USERCP_SHELL

Find:

<tr>
	<td class="$navclass[style]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editstyle">$vbphrase[edit_style]</a></td>
</tr>

Replace with:

<tr bgcolor="#222222">
	<td class="$navclass[style]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editstyle">$vbphrase[edit_style]</a></td>
</tr>

I just entered the color I wanted, and it worked. I hope someone can fix this hack so that the right variable gets shown... :disappointed:

Actually, here's a easier way to fix the color and it's the same code for all styles (should work for them all, it did for me and i have 8 styles on my forum):

Replace:

<tr>
	<td class="$navclass[style]" style="white-space:nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editstyle">$vbphrase[edit_style]</a></td>
</tr>

With this:

<tr class="alt2">
	<td class="$navclass[style]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editstyle">$vbphrase[edit_style]</a></td>
</tr>

Also add the following code to precache the templates:

Find

'editoptions' => array(
		'modifyoptions',
		'modifyoptions_timezone',
		'userfield_checkbox_option',
		'userfield_optional_input',
		'userfield_radio',
		'userfield_radio_option',
		'userfield_select',
		'userfield_select_option',
		'userfield_select_multiple',
		'userfield_textarea',
		'userfield_textbox',
	),

Add After

'editstyle' => array(
		'modifystyle',
		'modifystylebit'
	),
