Here is my latest creation Bingo -the new professional vB style comes in 9 colors! Yes in 9 color variations...

For vb 3.8.3


The highlight of this skin is it uses only one vB templates and 9 Cascading style sheet, it means you have to customise or update only one template each time not 9 and the colors changes without the page reload - this is done using Js...

There are 2 xml file, the only difference is the design on forum home page :

1) bingo - default forum home in vB3x.
2) bingo_forumhome_vb4 - the forum home looks similar to vb4x

Use the one you like...

Few instructions to follow:

To enable the latest Threads to display on the footer:

Quote:
1. Go to 'vBulletin Options>vBulletin Options>External Data Provider'
2. Set 'Enable External Javascript' to 'Yes'
3. Set 'Cache Lifespan' to any given value between 1 to 1140 Rread the description for further information. For the quickest turnaround time on new threads, set to 1. Note: This causes the data provider to use maximum resources)
4. Set 'Maximum External Records' to 5 (recomended or the footer will look crap).

To add your blog link:

Quote:
1. Go to 'Styles & Templates> header
2. Find > <a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
3. next/below to that, insert the following code:

<a id="blog_menu" href="$show[nojs_link]#blog_menu">$vbphrase[blogs]</a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("blog_menu", 1); </script>

Then Goto> Navbar > find <!-- / user cp tools menu --> after that add the code below:
Code:
<!-- blog_menu -->
    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="blog_menu_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
            <tr><td class="thead"><a href="blog.php">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist">Blog Directory</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist&blogtype=best">Best Blogs</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=list&blogtype=best">Best Entries</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_search.php?do=search">Find Blogs</a></td></tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    <!-- / blog_menu -->


If using vBa:

Quote:
1. Go to 'Styles & Templates> edit templates > headinclude > scroll down > find:

<link href="images/styles/bingo/style-db.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="green-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-gr.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="orange-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-or.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="pink-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-pi.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="brown-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-br.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="red-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-re.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="blue-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-bl.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="violet-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-vi.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="dusty-style" href="images/styles/bingo/style-du.css" />
<script src="images/styles/bingo/styleswitch.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Add http://www.yourforums.com/forum/

before the images/ (in all 10 lines)


Changing the logo to yours:

Psd files for the header logo and the footer logo are zipped for your convenience and you need to insert your logo or text and save in all 9 colors bg - which you will find in both psd...

Keep the same size for the logo as in psd, the same width and height or it may break the design...

Addtional info:

Button psd are provided in the zip for translation purpose and i have already created the "Thanks" and "Groan" buttons which are inside the button folder...

The skin passed the validation, 100% HTML 1.0 and CSS level 2.1

Do not remove my copyright text at the footer 'Design by Minerskinz.com' if you want to remove the copyright make a donation and PM me with your forum URL...


Please click install if you download the skin and if i reach the 100 installed mark here, i will release my next new free skin...

Hope you like it, enjoy bingo!!

It really would be great if we could find a way to get more links on either of the navbars without the skin breaking.

Or how about a option for another one of those grey bars underneath? I can't work out how to do that without the log in postit breaking.

Anyone come across this behaviour of the Bingo skin with I.E 8...i have several users who report that the skin works fine in firefox but not in I.E 8 to compound the issue i have users who also state that it works fine in I.E 8 on their wide screen laptops but not on their Home PC's...for myself it seems to work fine both on my laptop

The issue primarily seems to be with the login box on the top right hand corner not coming up right...

Thanks for this great skin foruma-z! I haven't tested it with IE8 as I refuse to install it on my machine, but I can say with Firefox it works flawlessly. I made a few customizations to it other than adding my logo such as a gradient effect on the footer and drop down menus for every link on the header.

Demo here: http://www.orbiter-forum.com


Thanks for the awesome skin!

Fantastic design, my users are going to love this, many thanks for sharing the design with us

I do have a question though, I have added another tab right at the top, how would I make that a drop down menu that opens external links, and internal links like the community drop down menu, how would I do that?

Thanks
