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.)

Great Style Kall, I just have one question..
With the Join Date stars in Postbit_legacy, why does it show all 4 stars ex. (6,12,18 & 24 mnth.) for every user, no matter what there join date is? I have tried to adjust the #'s in postbit_legacy for them, but still not solved.. If anyone has any suggestions or fix for this it would be greatly appreciated as this is the only Problem I am having with it.

Props again Kall!

The fix is posted.
The fix unfortunatly breaks xhtml validation. I can live with that. Just have to remove the bottons.

I installed this using the 3.5.3 xml file and I don't have any of the custom phrases. For your copyright it just has the style name and nothing more. I am sure there should be something more to it. Can someone let me know what should be used as the copyright?

Thanks Kall. I'll add it to make sure I comply with the use of the style.

Not sure what the problem is here. I just installed a forum with the vbadvanced cmps and I would like this style as my default. The style looks fine on the forums, but the colors are different on the cmps. You can see what I mean HERE and then look at the forums to see the color change. The modules are different, and even the nav bar changes color.

EDIT: Figured it out... image paths were not set to the full URL.
