About
This is something we use on digitalpoint.com to make the CSS better and more efficient.

Installation
  • Upload the contents of the upload folder to your installation
  • Install the product-digitalpoint_css.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
You can see a live version in action here (on any page really): http://forums.digitalpoint.com/

Details
Rounded Corners
vBulletin 4 only supports rounded corners for Firefox, Chrome and Safari. This plug-in makes rounded corners also work in Opera and Internet Explorer.

Gradients
It appends some CSS markup to your primary CSS file that makes use of CSS3 gradients (gradients defined right in the CSS file itself). vBulletin uses 5-7 gradient images per page view normally, and this eliminates the need for the browser to download those images. CSS3 gradients are supported in Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome. For browsers that don't support CSS3 gradients, they will simply fall back to the normal image-based CSS gradients that vBulletin uses by default.

Notes
This plug-in is useful for sites that use vBulletin 4 default styles, or at least styles that utilize the same classes and methods for doing things within the CSS files.

This plug-in does NOT add any extra CSS files, nor does it edit your existing ones. Instead it appends some new info to the end of your main CSS file that comes from it's own template. It also adds an attribution link.

You can find more info here: http://products.digitalpoint.com/vbulletin-css.php

Changes
1.0.2
  • CSS3 Gradient support for IE10 (early, I know... but it's there)
  • Handles gradients in vB Suite Blog and CMS
  • Works properly for CSS stored as files

Uninstallation: Automatic uninstallation is a bit of a catch 22... you need to compile templates to uninstall it, but vBulletin has no function built in to compile a group of templates. So uninstalling it removes the code needed to uninstall before the uninstall code is executed. So in order to uninstall this, disable just the one plug-in that is part of this product at the template_compile location, and then run Compile CSS Templates option under AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters. Once you do that, you can uninstall the whole product without any problems.

Yes, I have many styles installed. Is there something else I can do here?

How many styles do you have installed? I suppose you could up your PHP execution time and memory limit temporarily since it only needs to go through them all once.

Hey DP,

Sorry to rain on your parade but I just noticed this adds a link to the footer, can I have permission to remove that please?

did not work, and what the hell is with the ++++ing footer links. I get rid of any mod that has them. if not there would be 20 links in my footer.. you all need to quit with the frickin links. We will tell everyone if your stuff is good. this mod did zip.. nada.. home page still squared in explorer.. had high hopes for this one, but even if it worked, I would still be uninstalling it..

Which IE version? He's already stated it will only do rounded corners in IE9. From what I can tell, this mod is not *just* about the rounded corners either.

These mods on the 'org are released for free, some authors choose to add a link, some don't. If you don't like it, don't use it, simple as that - no point getting "irate".

I can see the effect at DigitalPoint with IE9.

But on my forum, using styles with limited departure from the default, no rounded corners. I don't even get them in the vBulletin default style.

Any known conflicts?

Apologies for my stupidity, but how would I do that?

Uh, thanks for sharing. Still worrying about PageRank bleed, are you?

His tone is completely wrong but don't be so quick to jump to conclusions, maybe like me he has paid to remove the copyright. The last thing you'd want to do is add something to the footer again.
