I had no idea that most people had no clue how to do this or that it was even possible so here goes.

Step 1.
Put your board into debug mode by adding this

PHP Code:
$config['Misc']['debug'] = true
to config.php

Step 2.
Goto the style manager, you will now see an additional style 'MASTER STYLE'

Step 3.
Enter the stylevar editor for MASTER STYLE

Step 4.
In addition to the regular stylevar editor, you will have two buttons to add and delete stylevars. Click add stylevar

Step 5.
Fill in the form to add the style var. If you select a product you are working from from the dropdown, it'll be included in the product xml file when you export. Its always a good idea to prefix your variables so they don't conflict with other peoples. The product id makes a good prefix.

Step 6.
Setting the value for it in the master style, sets its default value.

Step 7.
You can use this stylevar in your templates with the following code:

Code:
{vb:stylevar <stylevar name>}
You can also customise it as normal in any of your custom styles.

Step 8.
Remove or comment out the line you added in step 1 to take your board out of debug mode.

is there a way to add a group?

If we export a skin, does the additional stylevars go with it?

Yes, if you enter a name in the Group field that doesn't already exist, it will create a new group with that name automatically.

As for your second question, I would think the additional stylevars will export just fine, since they would be part of the system once you add them.

They deffinatly export with products; the values will export with styles. I'm not sure what will happen if you import a style that has stylevars in it that the board you are importing to doesn't have.

My guess is that it would create them, if not you may have to export and import them using a product files in addition to the style file.

is there away to append a style to another style using a plugin?

something like:

Code:
$vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_attachment'] .= $vbulletin->templatecache['my_template'];

I turned my vbulletin forums off and went into debug mode.

I opened up another browser and visited my site.

The debug menu was still at the bottom. How do I prevent that from happening?

I have a stylevar which I tried to add through this method which for some reason failed and doesn't show up on the list of stylevars. Trying to add it again however tells me that a stylevar with that name already exists. How would I remove this phantom stylevar so I could put it in properly?
