Bingo! the new vB skin in 9 colors... · **Released**: 06-26-2009

Here is my latest creation Bingo -the new professional vB style comes in 9 colors! Yes in 9 color variations...

For vb 3.8.3

View Demo

The highlight of this skin is it uses only one vB templates and 9 Cascading style sheet, it means you have to customise or update only one template each time not 9 and the colors changes without the page reload - this is done using Js...

There are 2 xml file, the only difference is the design on forum home page :

1) bingo - default forum home in vB3x.
2) bingo_forumhome_vb4 - the forum home looks similar to vb4x

Use the one you like...

Few instructions to follow:

To enable the latest Threads to display on the footer:

Quote:

1. Go to 'vBulletin Options>vBulletin Options>External Data Provider'
2. Set 'Enable External Javascript' to 'Yes'
3. Set 'Cache Lifespan' to any given value between 1 to 1140 Rread the description for further information. For the quickest turnaround time on new threads, set to 1. Note: This causes the data provider to use maximum resources)
4. Set 'Maximum External Records' to 5 (recomended or the footer will look crap).

To add your blog link:

Quote:

1. Go to 'Styles & Templates> header
2. Find > <a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
3. next/below to that, insert the following code:

<a id="blog_menu" href="$show[nojs_link]#blog_menu">$vbphrase[blogs]</a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("blog_menu", 1); </script>

Then Goto> Navbar > find  after that add the code below:

Code:

<!-- blog_menu -->
    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="blog_menu_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
            <tr><td class="thead"><a href="blog.php">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist">Blog Directory</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist&blogtype=best">Best Blogs</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=list&blogtype=best">Best Entries</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_search.php?do=search">Find Blogs</a></td></tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    <!-- / blog_menu -->

Add http://www.yourforums.com/forum/

before the images/ (in all 10 lines)

Changing the logo to yours:

Psd files for the header logo and the footer logo are zipped for your convenience and you need to insert your logo or text and save in all 9 colors bg - which you will find in both psd...

Keep the same size for the logo as in psd, the same width and height or it may break the design...

Addtional info:

Button psd are provided in the zip for translation purpose and i have already created the "Thanks" and "Groan" buttons which are inside the button folder...

The skin passed the validation, 100% HTML 1.0 and CSS level 2.1

Do not remove my copyright text at the footer 'Design by Minerskinz.com' if you want to remove the copyright make a donation and PM me with your forum URL...

Please click install if you download the skin and if i reach the 100 installed mark here, i will release my next new free skin...

Hope you like it, enjoy bingo!!

I have vbadvanced links directory installed and other styles work ok with it but this style is causing images to be missing.

Instead of pulling images from http://www.mysite.com/images/styles/...lapse_tcat.gif it is inserting /links as in

http://www.mysite.com/links/images/s...lapse_tcat.gif

I can't find where to change this link. It is definitely this style doing it

miner · #44 06-30-2009, 03:04 AM

Add http://www.yoursite.com/ to the images path in the CSS, you can do this in all style options...

Thanks. Nice One.
Is it possible to get a wide change for this Theme aswell?

Can you adapt this modification in your style (.xml)?

Threadbits like vBulletin 4

Thank You!

Wow Miner - I've been a fan of yours for a long time, but you've surpassed yourself this time!

Fantastic!

Just one question - I assume it's OK to change the minerskinz logo in the footer, as long as your link is left intact?

Cheers!!
