Blak-Ice V2

Our latest vBulletin skin based off the original Blak-Ice. Clean dark skin with many custom buttons.
Will support those that click install

Demo Here

Update:
1/30/09- vB 3.8.1 Ready

Fixed:
1/23/09- Fixed postbit_legacy button bar alignment issues
1/23/09- Fixed navbar members link when logged out
1/23/09- Fixed pm button alignment issue
1/23/09- Remade graphics (rating stars, infraction, report, ip buttons)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/17/09- Header code breaking skin when resizing

Strongly Recommended:
If using this style I highly recommend replacing your vb default icons and smilies! The default icons that come with vbulletin are just not good enough for darker skins. I am using a couple sets from tommyturnage

Here is an example of what it looks like and what your icons can look like:
vB Default:


Using Default Post Icons For ANY Background Color by tommyturnage


I would also recommend replacing your smilies with Smilies For ANY Background Color by tommyturnage.

Ok, I am sure I did this..but nothing seem to change. I'll double check it again..and post the code too..

[Sooner95]

ok the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post is where you edit the layout for the forums..and that is all set.

what I am trying to change now, is when i go into the forum to view the threads. I want to make the "last post" box bigger.

EDIT: added a screenshot. My main forums, and sub forums are good. it's just getting the thread list to work.

I can point you in the right direction..

go to Edit Templates then header

Find this

PHP Code:

<!-- begin navigation buttons table --> 


Anything after that and before this

PHP Code:

<!-- End navigation buttons table --> 


Is apart of those Navigation Buttons.

All i did, was take one currently codes and copy/paste. Then edit the path for the image and url for the page on my site.

To get those images to show up on your Portal I assume CMPS 2.0, I do not know if its the same for anything higher. You will need to do this.

AdminCP/CMPS settings/ Default settings.

And you will need to do this for all the images in this style to show up properly.

Type in bi2 into the boxes next to Header Replacements, Navbar replacements and Footer replacements.

I am sure hoof can elaborate and fill in anything I am missing here.

Sorry i put image navbar etg Home \UserCP \Calendar but to say Portal and gone to the portal ..!!! And input navbar news posts

[Sooner95]

I'd like to share with others something i did as well in this theme.

Again the Nav button setup is cool.

Here is how you can make those buttons also open up drop-down menus.

I will use 2 examples.

For the new Post button, and a drop-down so that one can look at new posts at specidfic times. I did not create the hack, just mearly made it work on the button.

Common Templates/header

Use this to create the button and link

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td width="50" height="55"><a href="search.php?do=getnew$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_newpost2.gif" width="50" height="55" border="0" id="navbar_posts"  alt=""/></a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_posts"); </script></td></if> 


You will need to check you image path ect.. and take note of moving the id="" from the td tag into the url tag. This will get rid of the little dropdown arrow.


Then your drop down menu.

Find this

PHP Code:

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open 


And place it above that.

Some thing this..

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_posts_menu" style="display:none">
            <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[get_posts_nav]</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">Get All New Posts</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&minutes=15" accesskey="2">Last 15 Minutes</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&minutes=30" accesskey="2">Last 30 Minutes</a></td></tr>
            
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=1" accesskey="2">Last Hour</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=2" accesskey="2">2 Hours</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=4" accesskey="2">4 Hours</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=8" accesskey="2">8 Hours</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&hours=12" accesskey="2">12 Hours</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=1" accesskey="2">1 Day</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=2" accesskey="2">2 Days</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=7" accesskey="2">7 Days</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=14" accesskey="2">14 Days</a></td></tr>

            </table>
        </div>
    </if> 


And your end result is attached as a screeny..also attached a screenshot of doing this with vbplaza.

Again these are not my hacks, I just made the dropdowns work with these buttons.

To do this you need to adjust the Lastpost width in the Forumdisplay template
I typically don't mess with this but I believe this is where you need to start:

<td class="thead" width="150" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=desc&amp;sort=lastpost" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[last_post]</a> $sortarrow[lastpost]</span></td>

Thanks, for this I'll have to try the New post feature. I am running an unmodified vB for development, but will try this on the main site

I gave it a shot, but nothing changed.
