Steel Blue 3.5.3

Steel Blue - The first in the Steel Series from the team at vBEnhanced.com.

Style Name: Steel Blue for vB 3.5.4
Style Version: 3.5.4 (SEO'd)


Features:

• Forum Status Icons Horizontal
• Rounded top and bottom corners
• Easily configured Javascript counter displaying time since forum launch on Forum Home
• Greeting conditional on day of week and time of day
• Custom statusicon and several misc images
• Some SEO elements (from T2Dman's most excellent seo vBulletin hack.) in the navbar.

I will NOT provide support for the removal of features of this style. If you want to remove things, look in the relevant templates and remove them.

This is the 3.5 Release of the Steel series in Teal for 3.5.4.

Customised statusicon, buttons/misc and gradients folders included.

***Additional Instructions***

vBAdvanced Users: Put nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 in the globalized variables section of your vBA AdminCP - Default Settings.

To change the 'Launch date' ticker on Forum Home, look in the FORUMHOME template, near the bottom. There is a start date field.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar, have a look in your nzbgreeting plugin.

To have the Forum images show up for selected forums, go into your forumhome_forumbit_level*_post templates (both level1 and level2) and look for the condtitional that reads:

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(999,999)"> 


Change these ids to the ones you want to use.

Further on in the same template is this conditional:

PHP Code:

<if condition="!in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1,3,4,8))"> 


The array contains those Usergroup ids that we do NOT want to see the Start New Thread button.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant. And the CSS is compliant too.

(If you want support, you better have clicked INSTALL...I *can* see this you know.)

Can the time on how long the forum has been online be changed? If so how do I go about it.

@all: To change the Date thing in the Forum Home, edit the FORUMHOME template.

Look for

//This date should be less than today

and change the date underneath that to your own.

To remove it, remove everyting within that

<div>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
/* <![CDATA[ */


function setcountup(theyear,themonth,theday){
yr=theyear;mo=themonth;da=theday
}

//////////CONFIGURE THE countup SCRIPT HERE//////////////////

//STEP 1: Configure the date to count up from, in the format year, month, day:
//This date should be less than today
setcountup(2004,01,23)

//STEP 2: Configure text to be attached to count up
var displaymessage="since $vboptions[bbtitle] came online!"

//STEP 3: Configure the below 5 variables to set the width, height, background color, and text style of the countup area
var countupwidth='95%'
var countupheight='20px' //applicable only in NS4
var countupbgcolor='alt1'
var opentags='<span class="smallfont">'
var closetags='</span>'

//////////DO NOT EDIT PASS THIS LINE//////////////////

var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
var crosscount=''

function start_countup(){
if (document.layers)
document.countupnsmain.visibility="show"
else if (document.all||document.getElementById)
crosscount=document.getElementById&&!document.all?document.getElementById("countupie") : countupie
countup()
}

if (document.all||document.getElementById)
document.write('<span id="countupie" style="width:'+countupwidth+'; background-color:'+countupbgcolor+'"></span>')

window.onload=start_countup


function countup(){
var today=new Date()
var todayy=today.getYear()
if (todayy < 1000)
todayy+=1900
var todaym=today.getMonth()
var todayd=today.getDate()
var todayh=today.getHours()
var todaymin=today.getMinutes()
var todaysec=today.getSeconds()
var todaystring=montharray[todaym]+" "+todayd+", "+todayy+" "+todayh+":"+todaymin+":"+todaysec
paststring=montharray[mo-1]+" "+da+", "+yr
dd=Date.parse(todaystring)-Date.parse(paststring)
dday=Math.floor(dd/(60*60*1000*24)*1)
dhour=Math.floor((dd%(60*60*1000*24))/(60*60*1000)*1)
dmin=Math.floor(((dd%(60*60*1000*24))%(60*60*1000))/(60*1000)*1)
dsec=Math.floor((((dd%(60*60*1000*24))%(60*60*1000))%(60*1000))/1000*1)

if (document.layers){
document.countupnsmain.document.countupnssub.document.write(opentags+dday+ " days, "+dhour+" hours, "+dmin+" minutes, and "+dsec+" seconds "+displaymessage+closetags)
document.countupnsmain.document.countupnssub.document.close()
}
else if (document.all||document.getElementById)
crosscount.innerHTML=opentags+dday+ " days, "+dhour+" hours, "+dmin+" minutes, and "+dsec+" seconds "+displaymessage+closetags

setTimeout("countup()",1000)
}
/* ]]> */
</script></div>
