2. Next goto your admincp / Plugins & Products
3. Choose Download / Upload Plugins
4. Browse your hard drive for the .xml file and upload
5. Next, open up the style you want to use, preferably choose the Default Style on your demo site and goto common templates
6. In the header find

   <!-- logo -->

7. Above that, past
   PHP Code:

   $includedphp 

   and click save.
8. Now, upload the vbstyles.php in your root folder or where ever you have your demo forums.
9. Open your vbstyles.php file and find line 9
   PHP Code:

   require_once('../Connections/styleconfig.php'); 

   and edit the styleconfig.php to your server variables., save and test it!

Not working. I think you forgot to add mysql querry in the database. I took this error when ı install

Table 'vb.vbdemo_style' doesn't exist

And in vbstyles.php I saw these codes;

mysql_select_db($database_panelconfig, $panelconfig);
$query_vbStyleChooser = "SELECT styleid, title, displayorder FROM vbdemo_style ORDER BY title DESC";
$vbStyleChooser = mysql_query($query_vbStyleChooser, $panelconfig) or die(mysql_error());
$row_vbStyleChooser = mysql_fetch_assoc($vbStyleChooser);
$totalRows_vbStyleChooser = mysql_num_rows($vbStyleChooser);

But there was no table created like above.

Ok, sorry for th emix up, I forgot to convert the database codes to vbulletin codes, I will work on that now and post up the new updates. Again sorry about that.

[mikem1981]

Im going to discontinue this Plugin since I cannot figure out the correct vBulletin codes. Thanks for your help if there was any and if not, its ok, im not too much of a vBulltin Coder but a great styler, so, watch for my releases coming soon. Thank you!

If you would like to continue to help this project, please contact me here.

is this not the same thing as modifying your header to have the style chooser at the top of you site and then adding a small bit of text saying how many styles there are?
Or am i missing something cause that seems like alot to do just to have your style chooser at the top when all it takes is a small copy and paste from the footer to the header.
just wondering

On the contrary, you are right and wrong. 1...as simple as you may try to make this seem like thats all you have to do, it isnt. You can control it with an on or off switch as well as user groups. So yes it has permissions to do this and do that. It also has a switch incase you want to sell the style, itll show the price with a link to paypal sandbox. There for, it is not the same and is not even a vBulletin script, its totally custom which runs off of vBulletin. I used to use this when I coded with XMB Group. However, I will not release this just yet until I get other things done soon. I dont even have any staff, so I have to do all the bug reports to myself and so on. No telling when I will release this, so with alittle support, I will asap.
