I cannot find "main-ltr.css" anywhere. Is that a template itself?

I made the first change you recommended...and that seems to have done the trick. What does the 2nd change do?

In the vbmediawiki zip file it's in release/wiki_upload/skins/vbmediawikiforum

It's just the css stuff that's needed. I tried including it as a css file, but that broke the page, so I just copied and pasted the contents in as a style tag. I'm sure someone else will come up with a better solution.

Add me the list of people who like to find out it this has been abandoned.... It looked promising.. but not so much anymore..

[NovoCiv]

And I would like to know what the error is with my problems. How is this still listed as Supported?

[apokphp]

vb.org is notorious for not updating what is supported and what isn't. It's one thing I really dislike about the organization and management of this site. It is very misleading to its members.

So sad, this hack will die, again ... :/

[Athena1984]

Aww, it looks like I will have to uninstall it then.

that should do it

Would you mind explaining this with a little more depth? Not quite sure what i am suposed to take from FORUMHOME nor am i sure where i should put it in MEDIAWIKIFORUM.

Everything else you said regarding the editing of the product xml worked.

Cheers.

I really hope this mod will be supported again. I am willing to donate if bepe develops this great mod even more.

The easiest way to get this super mod working again is the following:

• Sidebar: To get the sidebar working again. In the template MEDIAWIKIFORUM find the line with the text {wiki:raw headinclude} Below this line insert the following text {vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css}
  
• The nice navigation bar is missing many CSS elements. This is due to a mayor in the forumdisplay.css file. The best way to fix this to add the following code to you additional.css file.
  

  /* MediaWiki fix */
  .above_threadlist_controls {
  	clear: both;
  	display:block;
  	width: 100%;
  	border: {vb:stylevar forummenu_border};
  	background: {vb:stylevar forummenu_background};
  	_background-image: none;
  	margin-top: {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};
  	margin-bottom: 0;
  	position: relative;
  	-moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar forummenu_border_radius};
  	-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar forummenu_border_radius};
  	float: {vb:stylevar left};
  }
  .above_threadlist_controls ul {
  	padding: {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2} 0;
  	float: {vb:stylevar right};
  	margin-{vb:stylevar right}: {vb:stylevar padding};
  }
  .forumdisplaypopups a.popupctrl, .forumdisplaypopups.popupgroup .popupmenu a.popupctrl {
  	font: {vb:stylevar forummenu_font};
  	color: {vb:stylevar forummenu_color};
  	background: transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/black_downward_arrow.png) no-repeat center {vb:stylevar left};
  	padding: 0;
  	padding-{vb:stylevar right}: {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};
  	border: 0;
  	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 15px; /* based on icon size */
  	display:block;
  	_display:inline;
  	float: {vb:stylevar left};
  	clear: {vb:stylevar right};
  }
  .forumdisplaypopups li {
  	position: relative;
  	_display:block;
  	_float: {vb:stylevar left};
  	_clear: {vb:stylevar right};
  }
  
  /* Watch/Unwatch Icon Styling */
  #ca-unwatch.icon a,
  #ca-watch.icon a {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  outline: none;
  display: block;
  width: 26px;
  height: 14px;
  }
  #ca-unwatch.icon a {
  background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
  background-position: -43px 60%;
  }
  #ca-watch.icon a {
  background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
  background-position: 5px 60%;
  }
  #ca-unwatch.icon a:hover {
  background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
  background-position: -67px 60%;
  }
  #ca-watch.icon a:hover {
  background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
  background-position: -19px 60%;
  }
  #ca-unwatch.icon a.loading,
  #ca-watch.icon a.loading {
  background-image: url(images/watch-icon-loading.gif);
  background-position: center 60%;
  }
  #ca-unwatch.icon a span,
  #ca-watch.icon a span {
  display: none;
  }

Hope this helps.
