Bingo! the new vB skin in 9 colors...

Here is my latest creation Bingo -the new professional vB style comes in 9 colors! Yes in 9 color variations...

For vb 3.8.3

View Demo

The highlight of this skin is it uses only one vB templates and 9 Cascading style sheet, it means you have to customise or update only one template each time not 9 and the colors changes without the page reload - this is done using Js...

There are 2 xml file, the only difference is the design on forum home page :

1) bingo - default forum home in vB3x.
2) bingo_forumhome_vb4 - the forum home looks similar to vb4x

Use the one you like...

Few instructions to follow:

To enable the latest Threads to display on the footer:

1. Go to 'vBulletin Options>vBulletin Options>External Data Provider'
2. Set 'Enable External Javascript' to 'Yes'
3. Set 'Cache Lifespan' to any given value between 1 to 1140 Rread the description for further information. For the quickest turnaround time on new threads, set to 1. Note: This causes the data provider to use maximum resources)
4. Set 'Maximum External Records' to 5 (recomended or the footer will look crap).

To add your blog link:

1. Go to 'Styles & Templates> header
2. Find > <a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
3. next/below to that, insert the following code:

<a id="blog_menu" href="$show[nojs_link]#blog_menu">$vbphrase[blogs]</a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("blog_menu", 1); </script>

Then Goto> Navbar > find <!-- / user cp tools menu --> after that add the code below:

<!-- blog_menu -->
    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="blog_menu_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
            <tr><td class="thead"><a href="blog.php">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist">Blog Directory</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=bloglist&blogtype=best">Best Blogs</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?do=list&blogtype=best">Best Entries</a></td></tr>
            <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_search.php?do=search">Find Blogs</a></td></tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    <!-- / blog_menu -->

Changing the logo to yours:

Psd files for the header logo and the footer logo are zipped for your convenience and you need to insert your logo or text and save in all 9 colors bg - which you will find in both psd...

Keep the same size for the logo as in psd, the same width and height or it may break the design...

Addtional info:

Button psd are provided in the zip for translation purpose and i have already created the "Thanks" and "Groan" buttons which are inside the button folder...

The skin passed the validation, 100% HTML 1.0 and CSS level 2.1

Do not remove my copyright text at the footer 'Design by Minerskinz.com' if you want to remove the copyright make a donation and PM me with your forum URL...


Please click install if you download the skin and if i reach the 100 installed mark here, i will release my next new free skin...

Hope you like it, enjoy bingo!!

i have solved this issue by disabling facebook connect plug-in...

i think it is in the navbar...cause these are the template ,

Template: navbar

Find:
<!-- / login form -->

Insert After:
<!-- fbconnect -->
<center>
<span class="fbconnect" style="height:21px">
<img src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/loaders/indicator_white_small.gif" alt="Connect with Facebook" />
</span>
</center>
<!-- / fbconnect -->

Sorry i am not sure how to solve your issue as there is no space in the login part on the header to accommodate the facebook codes, thats the reason it breaks the login box...

I noted this issue and will rework the design and codes on next update vb4x...

thanks...
