Detailed vBulletin skin installation instructions with images

Version 4.x of this template for vB4 uses no tables instead i decided to use CSS3 border-image, unfortunately Internet Explorer does not support border-image so the left and right border will not appear in IE, i added the top and bottom borders in IE with <!--[if IE]>

If you change the size of the logo (vbulletin4_logo.png) you will need to edit the header template and change the width to keep the logo centered perfectly:

In version 4.2.5 the border code was replaced to work with newer CSS3, with the older code the borders would not show in many browsers.

If anybody finds any bugs or needs support please post in this thread and not via private message. Thank you

Must i only import the .xml or the total package Sean?

[Sean James]

If you have the whole suite you will need to uploaded all 3 of them, merging the blog and CMS into the main XML

[Webbstre]

I only imported the regular file. Nothing appears wrong, but I'm guessing I need to do this merging? How do I do that?

[Sean James]

What you do is upload the blog and CMS XML files and click the 'merge into' from the drop down box.

[Webbstre]

I just want to mention that attempting to merge the CMS and blog files into my theme completely killed the CMS section :P The sidebar now takes up most of the page and the actual article previews take up only a very small amount. It looks like when I merged it completely changed all the width and margin values, so now I have to go in and fix them all. Fortunately this is still just on my test domain.

[Webbstre]

Just going to try to attach some screenshots to show what happened. The picture with the ugly red "test domain" background is my test domain, after attempting to merge the blog and cms style files into the theme. The clean background is my live site still running 4.1.4, and this is what the 4.1.7 theme's layout looked like before the merge.

Cool style, marked installed.

[Sean James]

Does this happen on a clean install of the skin mate?

Also in your template manager do you see any CMS templates that are red and need reverting?

[Webbstre]

Yup, I did some more testing over the last couple days, and even without my customizations (those are in a sub-theme anyways) and a fresh install of just the Darkness theme, importing the CMS' xml file always has the same result.

Also, I just checked my template notifications and the only warnings I get on the site are for the outdated (and untouched since upgrading) 4.1.4 styles.

I ended up exporting my own customized version and importing it to a new sub-style of a fresh install of Darkness without the CMS merged into it.

Have you been able to duplicate this? If it helps, the order I tested was a fresh Darkness install, then merging in the blog's xml file, and then merged in the cms' xml file. I managed to get the weird template thing to happen four times when I tried this.

[Sean James]

I havent been able to duplicate this and I tested on different boards without problems.

Is this happening without importing your changes as a sub style?
