Here is the download for the default style that we use here. There are 2 directories that contain images inside of the zip. Those directories need to be moved into your styles/images directory. Then just import the style itself.

Demo: This site

The first attachment is for those running 7.0, 7.0.1 or 7.0.2.

The second attachment is for those running 7.1.

i tried to put a background image on my site but it doesnt show. Is there someplace i am missing? I edited the body at the start of the css file...

body {
color: #000000;
background-image: url('http://www.website.com/graphics/gravelbg.jpg');
font-family: Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
}


No love... just shows the normal white background. Any ideas?

You need to use the built in style editor to edit the styles vs just editing the stylesheet directly as your style info is saved in the database and "generated" on updates.

I tried it both ways and no love... It just still shows the white background instead of the jpg... I tried this same css in my photopost and it shows the jpg in the background.

This style is awesome!

I've updated this style for 7.1. There are now 2 versions available for download, depending on what version you're running.

What about the GOLD_2 from your personal site. I want that one here and available as a download please.

Thanks.

That's coming soon. I'm going to try and get a chance to install it here tonight, and then will make it available for download

Thanks....

Yeh, I need to update several of my styles; but since I post them twice (UBBDev and here) I'm thinking of just posting the style at one page and updates at another

Hi Rick
I just upgraded to Threads and to say the least, it is a bit overwhelming. I tried to import this Style and get this error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',' in /home/jbforums/public_html/forums/styles/2.php on line 11

I have no Idea what this means. Can you help? I used the first attachment for 7.0.2

Thanks
JBB

Hmm, can you post the contents of the styles/2.php file on your server? Would like to see what it actually tried to import.

I hope this means something to you. I just copied it from the view file function of my FTP program so I hope t is in the right format.

<?php
$style_array = array(
"id" => '2',
"general" => "",
"avatars" => "",
"forumimages" => "",
"graemlins" => "",
"icons" => "",
"markup_panel" => "",
"news" => "",
"wrappers" => ,
"css" => "_1170604628.css"
);
?>

Rick please disregard as I was trying to import the wrong file.
just did it with the right one and it said it did it although there must be somewhere to select the new style as it still looks the same. I guess I need to do some more reading.

Ok, once you have it imported, make sure it is set to active. If you want it to be the default style for the forum, select the default box as well. At that point, if it's still not showing as the default, then your personal preference is overriding it. You can go into your preferences under My Stuff and select it there.

I got it Rick and it looks great. Many thanks for your work.

Question: Couldn't someone running 7.0.* technically be able to use the 7.1 style? Just wondering since you've basically just added some items, right? If they're not being called, it shouldn't matter, no? (Just trying to save some time for myself )

The big difference is the ubbcode stuff. If you used the 7.1 style on your 7.0 forum, the quote, php and code boxes probably wouldn't display properly at all

Okay, boss, thanks! Never mind.

I'm forcing people to use the UBB7.0 version of UBBCode in my UBB7.1 styles; because the IE7 fix is redundant and ugly ;)...

Oh, the IE7 "fix" is included in the 7.1 styles? I thought it was optional... :/

It's optional if you want to apply it to your existing styles, however it ships that way as the default.

It's one of those you can't please em all things. If it's not fixed, IE users post it as a bug, if it is fixed, everyone else posts that they liked the old way

Which is why it isn't a part of my styles, cas it makes everything all awkward lol

why what does the fix do?

I cant remember :doh:

In IE, the old method wouldn't put a sidescroll in, it would just stretch the entire screen.

It adds a bunch of horizontal scroll bars to your posts, whether necessary or not... I mean... it "fixes" IE7 as best as it can to conform to web standards... I mean... it's a M$ plot to make Firefox look bad... I mean... it prevents long posts from scrolling off the page in IE7, even tho FF already does this... I mean... well, all of the above probably.

lets just say the fix makes things look horrid in real browsers lol...

An example:
1. Make a long post as a quote.
2. Quote the quote.
3. Quote the quote again.

Now, the ie7 fix is to specify a height and width that always appear, so each box has a specific height and width it has to conform to. So, what you get is a box with scrollbars, another box with scrollbars, and another box with even more scrollbars.

The original way is, each would be embedded in the prior, no extra scrollbars as they weren' tneeded.
