3.5.4. Skin wit 3.6.0. [Location issue]

[BiReL41r]

I'm using a 3.5.4. skin, and for the most part, it works just fine with my vBulletin 3.6.0., except for the two parts where you can link to the original post when quoting someone (Example: quote=name;123. I'm not sure where to put the image to link to the post) and to add an infraction to someone's profile. (It just shows the text, and messes with my tables)

Does anyone know where I can fix this? I'm sure it's a simple edit, but I have no clue where to start.

The easiest way to fix any missing images, is to upload the contents of the images directory to your images directory for your style, but select skip all instead of overwrite all. This will stop it overwriting your existing images, and add the missing ones into it. Alternatively right clicking and going to image properties (or properties depending on your browser) will give you the path to where it is looking for the image then you can upload the image to there.

Okay,

The one where it links to the original post is in /images/buttons/ it is called viewpost.gif

The infractions have several images in the Buttons as well:

yellowcard.gif
redcard.gif
infraction.gif


So, in order to get those images into your skin you need to name them as selected and place them in the Buttons folder.

Now there is also some "infractions" images in the images/misc/ folder... they are:
redcard_small.gif
yellowcard_small.gif

What would be the point in upgrading to 3.6.0 while still using a 3.5.4 style? You wouldn't be able to use most of the improvements without updating the templates.

Slightly off topic, but would appreciate some help with this...

I purchased a vbulletin skin for 3.5.4 some time ago.

It still seems to work for 3.6.0...I have yet to find any problems...However vBulletin coughs up the "Revert" and Out of Date notices in the backend.

The developers of the template don't yet have an ETA for when the template will be updated...Is there any way I can tackle this myself? Not having a great deal of experience with vBulletin templates (I can customise with little problem) I am not really sure where I need to start to tackle the problem.

I appreciate I am going to need to create new template files for the new enhancements...And modify existing files to include the new template bits for the new enhancements...but not knowing what files are new, and what changes have been made to the existing templates its quite difficult to understand how to approach this.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

T.

Well, I'm waiting for the guy who sold me the theme to update, but he's fairly busy, so it'll take a while.
