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!

*edit* fixed a bug in the navbar template that caused 'an error when attempting to log you out'. Thanks to breaume for reporting the bug.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant and CSS Compliant

(click on the introductions forum becuase you wont get access to any domain forums without subscribing, syou wont be able to see what im talking about) but any forum that isnt domain name related, you will have access to.

You can remove them in 2 ways, an easy way abd a hard way.

The hard way: open template: postbit. Look for <if condition="$jointime (or something similar..it's the <if> that surrounds the bit with 'star.gif' paths) and remove the whole conditional.

The easy way: Disable the plugin called nzb_postbit_stars (or whatever it is I called it).

Great job, Kall! My members love this style. One question though, the quick register box is interferring with logins when a guest views the forum homepage. So I would like to axe it. Where can I find it? I've looked everywhere I can think of.

The.. Quick Register Box you say..

I don't remember adding one of those (mainly because they interfere with logons in my experience)... can you give me a screenshot?

Sure

edit: I found it. It was in the 'first_visit_message' phrase. Quick Register has been appropriately axed. :devious:

Okay I still have not figured out how to get rid of the pill images...I have replaced them with other images but I do not know how to completely delete them from showing up. The directions are NOT very clear, Can someone please tell me how i.e what templates should be modified and what code needs to be removed?

Thank you

[HUMMERh3]

Also how do you get rid of the WHITE spaces between the different forums? on the main forum page?

The answer to the first question: "forumhome_forumbit_level*_post" means 'Both forumhome_forumbit_level2_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post.'

Look in those templates for an array that has 2,3 in it. Change those numbers to 999,998. Assuming you don't have any forumids that are 999 or 998, the images will not show.

The answer to the second question is: Look on vbulletin.com - Quick Tips and Customisations - Add a space between each category. I won't be posting instructions for that, as it's a base feature of this style.
