Style Version: 3.6.7

I will NOT provide support for the removal of features of this style. If you want to remove things, look in the relevant templates and remove them.

Customised statusicon, buttons/misc and gradients folders included.

***Additional Instructions***

vBAdvanced Users: Put nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 in the globalized variables section of your vBA AdminCP - Default Settings.

To change the 'Launch date' ticker on Forum Home

Look in the FORUMHOME template, near the bottom. There is a start date field.

PHP Code:

setcountup(2005,10,03) 


Change the date in YYYY,MM,DD format.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar,

Have a look in your Steel Style - Navbar Greeting plugin.

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(4,999)"> 


Change these ids to the forumids of the Forums you want to display images for. (These images are not supplied. 4.gif is an example. You must make your own images.)

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.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant. And the CSS is compliant too.

Also says this template is out of date:

postbit_legacy

[speedoleague]

It also seems to be looking for a folder in the images directory called:

steelbrightblue

[speedoleague]

I've fixed the steelbrightblue in the XML

Another issue: images/steelblue/buttons/viewpost.gif is missing

It's not included in the download

[speedoleague]

CMPS issue still can't work out why it's not working the vB default style reports the same error to the Log but the default vB style colours are correct

It doesn't only affect CMPS it does it here to:

What template r style thing should one use to display their homepage layout like that on the forum link you have shown above. I love the left and right columns on the homepage only. It looks like I have all that stuff on my homjepage just not in that arrangement. Any assistance on that would be much appreciated

thanks a lot :cross-eyed:
