Steel Blue 3.5.3

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

Style Name: Steel Blue for vB 3.5.4
Style Version: 3.5.4 (SEO'd)


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 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.

This is the 3.5 Release of the Steel series in Teal for 3.5.4.

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.

To change the greetings that appear in the navbar, have a look in your nzbgreeting 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(999,999)"> 


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.

Oh, and it's XHTML Compliant. And the CSS is compliant too.

(If you want support, you better have clicked INSTALL...I *can* see this you know.)

Love the skin and will use it when a supported vb is released. However I have it installed on my test foums on 3.5.0 RC2 and the greeting isn't intergrated with vbaCMPS. What can be done so it look the same as in forums? Thanks

1 More problem. It seems that the table on home forum is gone where it says "Last Post", "Forum", "Threads", and "Posts". I photoshoped it in red. Any reason why? Pic attached Thanks

Working fine here: http://www.meeting4fun.com/forum/index.php

Although on the CMPS page, it does the same as you said but not fussed about that, nice skin.

Re. your forum look problem, have you done this:

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost, change the number in the conditional at the very top (<if condition="$forum[forumid] != 1">) to that of your first category

Did you click Ignore Version on the import settings?

For those of you having problems with the greeting in your vBaCMPS, remember to add nzb_greeting and nzb_greeting2 to the area in your vBaCMPS Default Setings section in your AdminCP.
