13 June 2009

Updated things to vB3.8.3 and SimpleBlue Pro WITH SIDEBAR released.

Included: 4 Sidebar blocks with potential to add heaps more and A dynamic news fader block!

Improved since last version (PRO ONLY), Spacing between categories, spacing between posts, better navigation interface.


************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Upgrading from an older version of my style.
  • Overwrite the "yourforum.com/simpleblue" directory with the one in the 3.8.3 zip.
  • Upload the Language XML (THIS IS NEEDED FOR PARTS OF THE SKIN WHICH ARE CUSTOM CODED TO WORK)
  • Upload the Style XML and click "Allow overwrite"

If you are unsure, drop me a PM and I shall install the style for a very reasonable price.
************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Editting the Dynamic News Content Block

Go to the style manager, and then navbar template, and at the bottom of the navbar template, there is the sidebar blocks. Find and edit the:

PHP Code:
fcontent[0]="<b>Congratulations</b><br>Your new skin has been installed. <a href='http://parlancia.com'>Click here to visit authors site</a>";
fcontent[1]="This code is editable via your NavBar template.";
fcontent[2]="News could be put here, refer to the skin release thread for more details.</a>"
everything after the =" and before the last ";


************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********

Editting Content Blocks

Go to the style manager, and then navbar template, and at the bottom of the navbar template, there is the sidebar blocks. Find "<!-- SIDEBAR -->" and edit the content, which you should see easily, as it is plain text and not code.


************************************************** *********
************************************************** *********


Update: 6th July 2009 .

Ironed out more bugs (I dunno how there are so many!)
Fixed Sidebar (I really really hope)
Fixed the "white name in profile"
Fixed Profiles for the Slim version (800x600)


Please click installed if you use this. Thanks.

The error does not show on my forum.





Heres how you'd fix, (the template shouldn't be editted in my style)..

Go to; Style Manager > SimpleBlue Pro > Edit Templates (dropdown) > editor and REVERT that template.

OK.. I have figured out it is a problem with my install, not with your style. It is not showing up on any style I have installed.

I figured out what it was... i feel like such an idiot about it too.

It seems there is a setting in the user control panel.... Edit Options.. then Miscellaneous Options... there is a setting in there.... it was turned off there. I had been pulling my hair out all day about this and it was a simple little setting in the UCP.

You'll need to find

PHP Code:
<li class="current_page_item"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">Home</a></li
and replace the "Home" with your SEO friendly words....
Thanks, found it.

No templates have mandatory changes since vB 3.8.2.

If you are using 3.8.3, for now, click "Ignore Style Version".

I shall do these non mandatory changes (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...97&postcount=2) at the weekend and add a 3.8.3 XML.

Cheers guys.

I didn't think this design was well done. Tables didn't line up, and the 'w/sidebar' just threw lots of code on the homepage. Uninstalled!

g00gl3r, There must be some conflicting mod then, as this works fine on my live site and on my test site. two installs of vBulletin (one clean and one modded) cannot lie.

You're welcome to leave constructive criticism but please just don't shit talk on my work.
