If you want to use the Steel Icons, overwrite your existing /images/icons directory with the included ones.

Import the xml file in your Style Manager.

Import the plugin file in your Plugin manager.

Edit the forumid of the top of forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost to that of your topmost forum.

If you are running vBadvanced, add $nzbgreeting and $nzbgreeting2 to the Globalized Variables section of the vBA Admin CP area.

***Additional Instructions***

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 php_include_start template.

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(2, 3)"> 


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.

Enjoy!

[kall]

@Roms: Thanks!

@RayMatrix: This shouldn't change with styles..please post the URL to your forumhome using this style, and one using a style that "works". Include the styleid part so I can see for myself.

@jak: AdminCP - Styles and Templates - Style Manager - All Style Options - Change the Width attribute to 100%
