Default Custom Style question

About a year ago I had a custom theme designed for my site. The designer who custom designed it like completely vanished off the internet since lol. My question is I have updated my site with vb 4 version updates and have since encountered issues with mods not working properly anymore such as having alignment issues, links for the mods not appearing in the navbar such as vbookie mod and weekly/monthly top posters link not appearing in the quick links drop down. What if anything can I do to get this resolved? Is it going to cost me another fortune to have my theme updated.......assuming it is my theme possibly being outdated that is causing these issues?

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

I'm trying to understand, you had a site on vb3.x with a custom theme and some products installed. You've upgraded to vb4.x and now many products you've installed are not working and the the theme is broken?

If that is the case this isn't a big surprise as there are substantial changes between vb3.x and vb4.x. For the products you'll need to install vb4 versions of the products if they exist or find alternatives and the theme will need to be redone since styles have totally changed from vb3 to vb4.

Actually no sorry I had a custom style designed for my vbulletin 4 site about a year ago the older version of vb 4. I just opened another site with vb 4 the latest version. The mods that are working on my original site are not all working properly on my new site.

There has been few changes to the templates, you need to compare the templates and edit them. Once you edit them links should start showing where they were or else you may need to add them manually.

The mods not appearing in the navbar is fairly common for mods not designed for vb4.2+ since 4.2 introduced a new navigation manager. To add the tabs back you'll need to create appropriate entries in the navigation manager.

First thing you need to do is update your navbar template then try adding links etc.. via navigation manager.

So would I take the code in the default navbar template and copy and paste that into the custom navbar template?

What template modifications are you talking about? I've added plenty of tabs and submenu items to the nav bar and never had to edit any templates. As long as you know the script (i.e. the php file) you want to point to just adding a new entry that points to it will add the new nav element to wherever you've chosen to add it.
