Blue Scheme: Here

Green Scheme: Here

Demo: Blamoholics

This is actually one of my first sets of templates that I have released. Be sure to read the instructions as it will most likely not work if you don't. I have a few other colors coming up for those not into the light blue. Hope everyone enjoys them.

-----------------------------------------

This is the thread where you get help installing these templates and reporting bugs. I will also be posting alternate color styles in this thread too.

Perfect, I need some of the....hahahaha, nevermind. great work! and thanks!!!

Nice work Bookie.

really nice!

onlu the colours are "ugly"

Can you elaborate, hence make your comments constructive?

Great work! Will this overwrite existing hacks and such? This is the only thing that's stopping me from going any further.

Yes it will, and you'll have to edit any hack you install to work with it.

You really should be taking advantage of the alternative HTML template feature and the style import/export feature. As things are now, you're forcing the board admin to use this template set and only this template set...

How am I doing that? They can simply just upload this template set in a new folder in their templates directory can't they?

Yes, but you're also not explaining that you CAN do that...

I figured everyone knew.

I'll update the instructions.

I love you work but i found a little bug in your template.
when PNTF is enabled the text inside that box [whos online]
is invisible because the text color is the same as the background.
Also buttons "Add New Topic" & "Preview Post" doesn't work after your template is installed.

The Add New Topic and Preview Post work fine for me... can I get a link to your forums?

your template was tested on two different forums.One was fresh, clean installed ubb forum with no members or even ubb hacks on it, 2nd regular with ubb hacks/members. Installed twice on both,and the results are the same...can't get both buttons to work.

Can I get a link to your forums?

I have also tested it on two forums and they worked on them.

private msg sent.Thank You.

OMG...I want that hack to place the persons avatar in the main page and have it show what yours does...OMG That is so f-in kewl!
Plz tell me how/where I can get it!!!

I must say excellent work! My only question is how come my "Status" will not show anything. The link to my board is http://www.nysro.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Nor does my Avatar pull up on the main page!

Thanks!

"http://www.nysro.com/cgi-bin/ubb_status.cgi" gives me ISE. Make sure you chmodded ubb_status.cgi to 755 (or whatever ultimatebb.cgi) is chmodded to, and the first line (#!/usr/bin/perl) reflects ultimatebb's first line.

Just wondering is it Okay if somebody edits the templates but uses your templates as a base for editing?

By the "spirit" of this board, yes, it's okay, but you must ask for his permission before posting your version at ubbdev

OK..I installed this great thing but having some probs with it..

1). You can't Post a New topic
2).I get Java Error when trying to click on either the Add New Topic,Preview Post,Anyone of the UBB Codes Buttons, or any of the Instant Graemlins.
3).Where the Profile/reg/faq/home buttons are I don't have the back ground images!

Could someone plz help ??
UBB Found @ My UBB

1/2) for some reason, it doesn't have <F0RM> there.
3) ???

1/2). Where do I put the </form>
3).Fixed it that was a BIG n00b thing on my part!!

BTW LK, I can't beleive you not only went to my board you also signed up
I've used so many of your hacks, It's not even funny!

Well after playing around with this damn thing for over 4 hours I give up...I just wanted the "Your Info"(With the avater image) & "Forum Info" Thats all!
If theres a way to just get this with a norm UBB plz,Plz Tell me where I can get it???

Hehe, then all you gotta do is copy that part from public_forum_summary.pl and upload ubb_status to cgi-bin folder

I've tryed that but couldn't get the thing to show everything right! ie.Stats and avatar!
Could you post the info or something?

Sure.

Small error in the templates, those who are having troubles posting new topics re-download the zip file and upload public_new_topic_form.pl to the proper directory.

Wee good, because I've gone to an extent where Standard Template editing will take a long time to get what you want. :-/

alo!

just about to test out these badboys, but im stumbling a little in the instructions, with this part:

"vars_style_16.cgi" -- wherezis?

whoops... eh..

it is the vars_style file in the noncgi/styles/importexport directory.

It is probably called something like vars_style_blam.cgi.

Did anyone see that the Search section has images missing? and the F.A.Q.'s are gone???
I checked the Blam site and theres are the same!
As mine!

wuhoo! im helping! i demand full credit!

and it is "vars_style_blam.cgi"

hmm...another question:

i cant seem to get the "your avatar" image to work, in the forum summary. it works ok in the posts, just not here.

**edit update**
ahh, yes. updating the ubb_status file sure would help.

im a big dumb animal. i hereby renounce all previously claimed crediting.

haha...

ok, a legit question.

the forum info, recent visitors info says:

"There are currently ___ browsing the forums" (with the underscore being the amount of people you have).

say i opt to have a list displayed, instead of the number -- the message would now read "There are currently drkknght browsing the forums."

how can i go about editting that text?

i searched all through the wordlets for "currently," but was unable to find anything.

(ideally, id like to have a list of names displayed, and change "there are currently" to "online:" -- and just remove "browsing the forums")

does this appear somewhere in the worldlets? (i couldnt find it in the pntf template files you gave, either)

Nope... I didn't add it in the wordlets.

Open public_pntf_summary.pl and find:

Then find

Delete that. Then in the CP set it so it displays user list.

sunuva...

i swear i did that already, but... i uploaded the pl file into the wrong directory ::grumble::

thanks, bookie.

ill try and limit my future problems to real ones.

Bookie or LK ?

Will either of you be providing the hack to just place the Avatar and the "Your info" & "Forum info".
I've tryed and tryed for hours apon hours now to do it and I just can't! Plz for the love of god!! :rolleyes:

I really want this part of the hack!!

speaking of the your info section...

(and i dont know if this is a template issue, or somethin with recent visitors, or even cookies... mmm...coookies...)

for whatever reason, im inexplicably and randomly 'forgotten' by my beta message boards (located here )

the forum summary still says hello to me ("hello, drkknght!)," but just beneath that, it tells me when i've last visited, followed by an "unregistered" status and no avatar image. it even occasionally happens immediately after i reply to something.

mean ole board.

Hmmm... Havent had that happen to me before.
