Re-useable Code Translations  
No support by the author.

We have actually had a number of small forum display enhancements and mini mods coded for us last year. This is One of them. I thought I'd have them released to the Community and have marked the code re-useable since as its not sure how much support can be provided, so feel free to use it as you like and improve it.

What does this do?

Advanced Footer Rework is a Simple Mod that changes your forums footer and adds 3 small blocks to look more like this.




DEMO


Installation is very easy, and this should work with most versions of vBulletin 4.x. You simply replace the footer with the one below, add the bit of .css to your additional css and simply upload the 2 images inside the images.zip. Although its IMPORTANT and I do suggest you always backup before making any modifications. Please read all steps carefully.

To Install

1. Add this bit of code to your additional.css located Style Manager > CSS Templates > additional.css

Code:
/* Begin custom footer rework*/

.tgfooter {
    background:#dbe2ea;
    font:normal 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#323232;
}
.tgfooter1 {
    height:41px;
    font:normal 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#323232;
    line-height:35px;
    padding:0 17px;
}
.tgftime {
    float:left;
}
.tgflinks {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    list-style:none;
    float:right;
}
.tgflinks li {
    float:left;
    margin-left:12px;
    display:inline;
}
.tgfooter1 a {
    color:#182433;
    text-decoration:none;
}
.tgfooter1 a:hover {
    color:#417394;
    text-decoration:none;
}
.tgfooter2 {
    background:url(images/f2.png) repeat-x left top;
    height:241px;
}
.tgfooter2-in {
    background:url() no-repeat left top;
    height:241px;
}
.tgfooter2-in2 {
    background:url() no-repeat right top;
    height:223px;
    padding:18px 38px 0 23px;
}
.tgfooter2 a {
    color:#323232;
    text-decoration:none;
}
.tgfooter2 a:hover {
    color:#417394;
    text-decoration:none;
}
.tgfwl {
    float:left;
    width:236px;
}
.tgfwl h4, .tgfwm h4 {
    margin:0;
    padding:0 15px;
    background:url(images/header_footerBG.png) no-repeat left top;
    height:28px;
    font:normal 13px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#fff;
    line-height:28px;
}
.tgfwl ul {
    margin:0;
    padding:5px 2px 0 15px;
    list-style:none;
}
.tgfwl ul li {
    font:normal 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#323232;
    line-height:100%;
    padding:9px 0;
    background:url(images/dotted.png) repeat-x left bottom;
}
.tgfwl ul li a {
    color:#323232;
    text-decoration:none;
}
.tgfwr {
    float:right;
    width:262px;
}
.tgfwr2 {
    padding-left:68px;
    padding-top:10px;
    color:#010000;
}

.tgfwr2 div select {
    margin-top:5px;
    width:170px;
}
.tgfwr2 a {
    color:#010000;
    text-decoration:none;
}
.tgfwr2 a:hover {
    color:#417394;
    text-decoration:none;
}
.tgfwm {
    width:236px;
    padding-right:26px;
    margin:0 auto;
}
.tgfwm p {
    font:normal 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#323232;
    padding:10px 0 10px 15px;
}
.ttgfooter3 {
    padding:20px 17px;
    font:normal 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#323232;
    text-align:center;
}

/* End custom footer rework*/

I would like to use this Footer Rework on my custom style, but it wont work without some heavy modifications to the CSS, and maybe to the code itself. Thats the downside of having a completely custom style.

Thank you anyway though!
