Suite Style - [4.1] BATTLEFIELD3FORUMS.com STYLE

Hi all, Been a while since i have released a style (ive not been online much of late due to a close friend passing away, so my apologies for my lack of support of late).

Today i am releasing my New 4.1 style that i have created for my Battlefield 3 forums website.



LIVE PREVIEW: Battlefield 3 *Have a good look around, Many features / nice touches)

- Full CMS STYLED.. vBulletin 4.1 publishing suite.
- Custom Postbit userinfo section
- Many VB4 bugs addressed / hard-coded out
- Social Networking (Facebook & Twitter Buttons implemented
- Many Many more features / nice touches

You will need to replace the logo with your own, i am not including source files for this release.

I have big plans for this website / project, at the time of writting this my site is relatively un-modded, i do plan on heavily modding this site so the style may change over time, however i will do my best to update this style for everyone.

I would also like to encourage any Gaming / Battlefield Fans to sign up and become active around the forums, partners / staff also wanted, PM me via my site (Battlefield3forums) if your interested,Thanks.

NOTE* This is released for free, this style includes a Footer Link (font size "9") a non-intrusive credit link, This must remain in place if you wish to use this style for your website. Ive put a lot of work into this style and hope other people find it useful, however i will not tolerate anyone removing due credits, anyone selling my work, anyone editing my work for profit of any kind.

Regards, Darren

Just saw this site here.

http://www.ruofficial.com/board/memb...ian-ortiz.html

When you check out this, these problems seem to be solved. And since as a non-registered user I shouldnt be able to see the profile the way this user has setup it for himself, I wonder what or how he did it so that stuff appears instead of being almost invisible like on my own site.

Any help is appreciated !

Have you checked your image path ?
I looked on your gxboxlive and noticed that you need to sort out the right path...
It's the same with your shoutbox you need to sort out the image path or just re upload the images in the to the right folder.

If you right click the red cross and copy image url and paste it in your address bar you will see what the right path should be.

Shoutbox path is.... themaddenminds.com/forums/images/battlefield3forums.com/statusicon/

gxboxlive path is..... themaddenminds.com/forums/images/battlefield3forums.com/misc/gxboxlive/silk/

Hope that helps.

It takes on certain colors of other fonts through the style and most of the time they are so far out of whack its not even worth the trouble of creating a style.

This is the biggest thing holding us back from releasing new premium styles. Also making it very difficult to help you guys out as there is nothing we are able to do besides tell you to customize your profile the way you would like the profiles to look, then hit the button "Save as site default".

That method works but it WILL change every style you have installed to those settings, and I have not found a way to revert it once its done.

That method highlighted in red will only be available for adminstrators of the site. Users cannot do this without correct permissions, so no need to worry about someone messing it up. The owner of the site you linked has obviously done what I have said here then saved it as site default.

Style designers cannot do this on their vB installs as it would bork up every style then we would have to run SQL queries to reset things. So I have been leaving user profiles untouched when doing a style.

Well, all that sounds very confusing. Is that going to change in future vB versions or did the Developers of vB messed that up intentionally so it doesn't work anymore ? Which wouldn't make sense to me, but then, there were far less sense making moves from other software developers than that, so it wouldnt be really a surprise.

I just hope that this is going to be fixed soon.

Again i would like to stress... IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE STYLE.. as you can see from my Battlefield 3 site (in my sig or demo link) i did style the profile section for this style, the changes do not export to the .XML when exporting the style...

vBulletin.com wont even offer any assistance on matter because they are too busy fixing their 100's of other F up's... every style will experience the same problem.. the only way to fix this is to create a customized profile and set it as your sites default (this will be a problem if you are using multiple styles on your site).

We can only hope that VB.com address this ASAP.

Most likely your addons are requiring vB 4.1 also. Either the images are not uploaded in the correct place or the templates are just not woking with your vB 4.0.2

You should think about updating.

ok ima try this first since im running 4.0.2

Thanks for your Kind words SkinDen will be open for business very soon, just waiting on 4.1.1 to become available, we will then update our new premium styles ASAP.. and the free releases will be updated shortly after.

Nice site you have by the way, best of luck to you.
