vBulletin.org Layout Design (wide/fixed)

[obetyance]

Hi, I like the what vB.org's LAYOUT DESIGN with wide/fixed option plus the option is just right below the page with different colors for options.

How can we do it with my site? Is there a hack/mod for this?

Thanks!

its actually quite simple they are just different links to the style id's change the style on your forum and it will show the style id for that theme, then you just add a link to that theme and it will have them start using that theme. as for the fixed and width its the same thing. so in all their will be alot of styles.

Hi Hellbomb,

Thanks for the response.

What template will I edit to put the style id link, sir?

Can you show as a sample, sir?

Thanks!

Im assuming that you want it in the same place as vBulleitn.org you can find this in the footer template.

Yes, I do, sir.

If I understood it right, it will look like these:

Style 1 (color 1 and wide)
Style 2 (color 1 and fixed)
Style 3 (color 2 and wide)
Style 4 (color 2 and fixed)
Style 5 (color 3 and wide)
Style 6 (color 3 and fixed)
Style 7 (color 4 and wide)
Style 8 (color 4 and fixed)

If not, can you post a sample on how it will look, sir?

I can't find it in the FOOTER template, sir.
