Steel Blue 3.6.x

Steel Blue - The first in the Steel Series from the team at vBEnhanced.com.

Style Name: Steel Blue for vB 3.6.1/2/3/4/5/6/7
Style Version: 3.6.7

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, buttons 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.

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.

PHP Code:

setcountup(2005,10,03) 


Change the date in YYYY,MM,DD format.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar,

Have a look in your Steel Style - Navbar Greeting 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(4,999)"> 


Change these ids to the forumids of the Forums you want to display images for. (These images are not supplied. 4.gif is an example. You must make your own images.)

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.

You may NOT remove or alter the copyright phrase in the footer.

Updates

</div>

(the <tr><td> and the </td></tr> .. bolding it didnt really help).

Is anyone else experiencing this?

This one is a right fix! Confirm!

My apologies.

Heh, sorry.. I had *just* started a thread about how much I hate it when people use a 'sarcastic' smiley when asking people for free help.

@Maxim: Glad to have caught it.. is anyone else experiencing this?

FYI~ Yes I have the same thing happening with the alignment being to the left instead of to the right. I'm not concerned about it looking that way though.

Hi, I was wondering whether anybody would be willing to create some custom forum icons similar to the one attached an example, number 4?

LMK Thanks, Paul

having a problem with this style.
i have made some upgrades but i cant seem to pinpoint when this broke
first i will say when i switch to another style this problems does not exist.

vB version: 3.6.5
vBE Evolution Style Product version: 1.1
Style: SteelBlue

here is the issue, it seems that multiple AJAX related items are just broke.

1.) PM To: field auto-complete gone.. just doesn't even try
2.) inline post edit, lets you edit but when you click save, it saves the post but leaves the edit window there, it does not take you back to the final post.
3.) when i fill edit and you select the "font size" and font type drop downs show weird code and at the very bottom the font sizes and types are there, but still something wrong

Hi wildo69,

This thread is for support of the Steel Blue style.

For support of the Evolution style, please post in the Evolution Style Support forum at vbenhanced.com.

[wildo69]

thanks i'll head over there

[GamBun]

This is still my favorite & most well used style. I was wondering if I should be concerned about the new upgrades having any compatiblitiy issues to focus on. ~ Thanks in advance.

[kall]

Hi,

There were a couple of changes, namely the navbar and FORUMHOME template changes that were detailed at vBulletin.com.

I have updated the vBEnhanced Member versions of the style (see my sig), and I will see if I can get around to updating this one today.
