Questions and Answers

Q. So what do we have here?
A. Well that's simple! It's a dark blue style for vBulletin 4.1.4 Suite (or Forum Classic).

Q. Anything in particular that I need to know about this style?
A. Simple - I don't advertise a lot, there are no advertisements shown when I make styles however I do know due to the centering of the logo, if you currently utilize the header ad locations you'll need to make changes if utilizing this style otherwise it will not display properly. *Fix planned for the 4.1.5 version and I'll patch this 4.1.4 version then as well, basically I'll be moving the header ad locations just above the normal below navbar locations to remedy this

.

Q. This is 4.1.4 style why did you not release a 4.1.5 version and will you release and keep this updated unlike other styles on here?
A. Yes, unlike some other styles in the past I've released this is branded by our company and we do plan on supporting this style indefinitely.

Q. I see two different downloads available, which one do I use?
A. Simple:

- For vBulletin 4.1.4 through 4.1.7 use the file titled - Innovation_by_Instinct-Avenger_Blue-Compressed.zip
- For vBulletin 4.1.8 use the file titled - Innovation_by_Instinct-Avenger_Blue-vB4.1.8-Compressed.zip
- For vBulletin 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 use the file titled - Innovation_by_Instinct-Avenger_Blue-vB4.2.1-4.2.2-Compressed.zip

Q. I'm using a version for vBulletin 4.1.8 or up, why is the logo not clickable?
A. Well we have navtabs w/ a Home, Forum, and Blog button so why do we need more and more of the same links? Well I know some prefer it so here is a way to make it clickable:

You can utilize the transparent 1x1px transparent image to make the logo clickable again. *Please note this is not a default feature, to make the logo clickable you must edit template header and find:

Code:

                    <div class="ablogo" align="center">
<div class="abimage"><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}"><vb:comment><img src="images/avenger_blue/misc/home.png" width="960px" height="150px" alt="{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}" /></vb:comment></a></div>
</div>

Remove the <comment> codes as shown in red:

Code:

                    <div class="ablogo" align="center">
<div class="abimage"><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}"><vb:comment><img src="images/avenger_blue/misc/home.png" width="960px" height="150px" alt="{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}" /></vb:comment></a></div>
</div>

This is how the code should now look:

Code:

                    <div class="ablogo" align="center">
<div class="abimage"><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}"><img src="images/avenger_blue/misc/home.png" width="960px" height="150px" alt="{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}" /></a></div>
</div>

*If you use a different logo than the stock "Avenger Blue" and your making it clickable via the method above, please change the width="#" and height="#" to the correct values i.e. the same width and height as your new logo

.

Q. Why is there a .zip inside the .zip?
A. Well the forums here have a max of 3.0MB file size limit on .zip files so I made it a .zip then added that one into another .zip, this reduced the file size from the 3.17MB down to 2.69MB! Now simply extract the main -Compressed .zip then extract the inside Innovation_by_Instinct-Avenger_Blue.zip and your ready to rock and roll!

Q. You have a link to your site in the footer, can I remove that?
A. You are not allowed to remove the link to our site i.e. "branding" unless you pay for a Branding Free Version. If I find someone running this without the copyright in place I will contact your host and file a DMCA complaint period the end. *Furthermore, we will not host discussions nor reply to any sort of inquiries on here in regards to paid or branding free versions so please do not bring up the subject of either in this thread.

*Click on the images below to view in a new tab/window, once in said window you can click the image again to zoom once more and see it clearer, providing a more accurate representation of the style .

Thanks for your support, it's certainly not required however I appreciate the sentiment .

Notes & Update Information can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....82&postcount=2

Restrictions:
This style is not meant for use on http://www.carbonracecars.com otherwise have at it!

*IMPORTANT*

To install the style:

1) Upload the contents of the UPLOAD Folder.
2) If for example you want the Fixed style installed then import the file:
*Please note, if you do not use the vBulletin Suite and have the Forum Classic version you only need to install the file vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-Forum.xml.
a) Import the vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-Forum.xml file first.
b) Merge in the vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-CMS.xml (Options when uploading a style allow you to merge into a existing style, choose to merge this into the new style you just created using the Forum.xml.
c) Merge in the vbulletin-style_Avenger_Blue_Fixed-Blog.xml into the style, this has now updated the style for all three major products and the installation is complete!
3) Enjoy!

You just re import the style allowing overwrite of the previous install.

Mike, what templates did you change, as I have made quite a few changes here and there.

Fluid version had most of the css regarding the header and logo areas redone entirely, import it under a different name and view each to see the differences... basically just a little bit of the css at the very top i.e. ablogo and abimage then I edited the stylevars for docwidths / docmargin and set to % values other than that not much so it shouldn't be too hard of a fix for you if you reference since I basically just fixed that scollbar issue

. Ohh and some background images were changed so note the new images in the /images/avenger folder and update eother doc_background or body_background stylevar accordingly.

That should be it... if I think of something else I'll let you know or if you edit then see an issue just post

Stand by new version about to go up now that sorts the scroll issue, prepping files now for upload

.

Hi there, the only mod there is, the like more mod that is it . I know the category icon mod but it is not there.

Ok, well since I have not gotten that far in redoing my template and mods, how would I just upload the vanilla copy? Overwrite anything, or just upload it as if I was doing a fresh copy? Thanks.

Kat-2 · #**557** 01-28-2014, 04:33 AM

Question. I have VSa Chatbox. The background in this theme is blue, which means you can't see the posts with the colors available. Any way I can make the background white?

Please check this in forum manager for that category:

If you have value entered there = must copy image to new style folder. If you have no value then url/link to site for me to view as you must have some odd forum depth setup or similar and I'll need to view it to see about a fix.

If you have not done any modification to the older version then delete it, now install the new version. *Also that reply was directed towards Ozzy but still sorta touched based on your question per say but he has modified his quite a bit so why he asked, you are free to do a fresh install.

Hmm it looked ok to me... do you have the colors limited in the chatbox options in admincp or something else going on here that you've customized or done that I would not see on a default install of vsa chatbox?

Here is what I see:

You must be running something custom... so try this:

Edit template: vsa_chatbox

Find:

Code:

			<div class="blockrow" id="vsacb_messagearea" style="background-color:{vb:stylevar editor_background.backgroundColor};text-align:{vb:stylevar left};overflow:auto;height:<vb:if condition="($_REQUEST['do']=='cchatbox')">{vb:raw vboptions.vsachatbox_height_full}px<vb:else />{vb:raw vboptions.vsachatbox_height}px</vb:if>;width:auto;font-size:{vb:raw vsacb_textsize};">

Replace with:

Code:

			<div class="blockrow" id="vsacb_messagearea" style="background-color:#ffffff;text-align:{vb:stylevar left};overflow:auto;height:<vb:if condition="($_REQUEST['do']=='cchatbox')">{vb:raw vboptions.vsachatbox_height_full}px<vb:else />{vb:raw vboptions.vsachatbox_height}px</vb:if>;width:auto;font-size:{vb:raw vsacb_textsize};">

What I did was basically replace this:
background-color:{vb:stylevar editor_background.backgroundColor};

With:
background-color:#ffffff;

That should sort you

.

It is not because something is customized, it it because I have other themes, and some members may prefer to use another theme. The background is white on other themes, so if they choose to post in the chat box let's say in a blue color, then it is not going to show up to people posting with the Avenger theme. That was why I was wanting to make the background white.....so any color shows.

Hope I made sense.
