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.)

I love the skin, however inside of my threads, the user profile section of my postbit_legacy looks like this



Any idea how I can make the profile information appear transparent against the red, instead of the white seperators?


Thanks

Click INSTALL and I will tell you.

(Check in your 'Additional CSS Definitions' in the bottom of All Style Options. Change the background of .nzbpostbit to the same colour as alt1 or alt2.)

oops... sorry about that install thing...

Thanks for the assistance.



On Edit:

Is there a way to remove the hyperlink of the Forum table, and just keep it to the original version of the forum names being hyperlinked?

Help please?
The skin is nice and cool.
But after 1 week, I didn't touch anything with the Template, today I went online and check my website, it is very weird that the Forum Title text is bigger than normal. (note: I never edit anything in Navbar), that's why I surprise.
Bellow are the attachment images

Any help will be very appreciated

This being updated to .3? I am considering using it...

My Forum segmentation looks like this:

Name Forum
--Forum 1
----Forum 1.1
----Forum 1.2
-- Forum 2
----Forum 2.1

and so on.

At the moment it looks like this

Name Forum
--Forum 1
--Forum 2

I played with the Counts at Forumdisplay Generel wich worked with my old Style but nothing happens.

Is there a way to show them all at Forumstart?

Nobody out there who can help me out?
