BluePearl Wrap Style/Skin

LEAD_WEIGHT · 06-09-2005, 04:46 AM

I going to see if I could just use the wrapper code to surround boxes & navbar. I'm getting problems with the images on the side, it constricts expandsion.
I going to see if it works.

Griffin Do I just modify whats in my

admincp=>Styles & Templates=>Style Manager

or do I have to play with the .xml file and another simular file that only modifies colour.

I think I can do this in one day since the file I am going to copy & paste is only 67kb but may increase a little but not into 188kb+ cause of the surrounding images. I will try to make one with slimmer sides the next time.

Well like i said in my last reply in the other thread which u didnt listen to, just surround the modules/boxes or whatever with the table that has the border design.

So for example:

HTML Code:

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="30" height="50"><img src="images/bluepearl/misc/t1.jpg" border="0" width="30" height="50"></td>
<td width="100%" height="50" background="images/bluepearl/misc/t3.jpg" align="left"><img src="images/bluepearl/misc/t2.jpg" border="0" width="64" height="50"></td>
<td width="24" height="50"><img src="images/bluepearl/misc/t4.jpg" border="0" width="24" height="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="30" background="images/bluepearl/misc/t5.jpg"></td>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="#5C71CA" valign="top">

<!--  add module  or whatever here -->

 </td>
<td width="24" background="images/bluepearl/misc/t6.jpg"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="30" height="31"><img src="images/bluepearl/misc/t7.jpg" border="0" width="30" height="31"></td>
<td width="100%" height="31" background="images/bluepearl/misc/t8.jpg" align="right"><img src="images/bluepearl/misc/t10.jpg" border="0" width="26" heigth="31"></td>
<td width="24" height="31"><img src="images/bluepearl/misc/t9.jpg" border="0" width="24" height="31"></td>
</tr>
</table>

So for example edit this file in style manager

adv_portal_latesttopics

and place it in the above table.

I know about that is just the CMP 2.x seems to bugger it up.
When u wrap it everything should space out properly & the centre module should shrink but it does not do that and that is why I am going to make one without all the surrounding images.

Just going to see if it works, that all.

Oh, one more thing in the .xml file yours shows this code

PHP Code:

   ";s:6:"LINK_N";a:3:{s:10:"background";s:0:"";s:5:"color";s:7:"#393F79";s:15:"text-decoration";s:4:"none";}s:6:"LINK_V";a:3:{s:10:"background";s:0:"";s:5:"color";s:7:"#393F79";s:15:"text-decoration";s:4:"none";}s:6:"LINK_M";a:3:{s:10:"background";s:0:"";s:5:"color";s:7:"#ffffff";s:15:"text-decoration";s:0:"";}}]]></template>

If I change it to this will it goof up. 1px solid #212121 will be corrected

PHP Code:

  border: 1px solid #212121;";s:6:"LINK_N";a:3:{s:10:"background";s:0:"";s:5:"color";s:7:"#393F79";s:15:"text-decoration";s:0:"";}s:6:"LINK_V";a:3:{s:10:"background";s:0:"";s:5:"color";s:7:"#393F79";s:15:"text-decoration";s:0:"";}s:6:"LINK_M";a:3:{s:10:"background";s:0:"";s:5:"color";s:7:"#FFFFFF";s:15:"text-decoration";s:0:"";}}]]></template>

ok sorry i havent installed cmp 2.x plus yet, so the above is instructions is for version 1.0.

Will proberly do a upgrade on this site in the next few days maybe to version 2, but i havent checked it out so i dont know what new features it has or if it is worh upgrading too.

LEAD_WEIGHT · 06-09-2005, 08:18 AM

Do not bother with upgrade to CMP 2.0 it will be discontinued when vB3.5 comes out you will waste your time if u are going to get vB 3.5. I am just trying this version out . It is still beta even if it does not say so . It still has bugs to resolve which I know of two have been resolved. I am going to get the pluggin when it comes out in 6months or less.

Unless you are not getting vB 3.5 then CMP 2.0 is good enough.

vBulletin v3.5 is the next upgrade from vB v3.0.7 .
They are going into pluggins so Styles/Skins proggies or anything is hooked in without changing any .php files. Just make your proggie code that comforms to pluggin format and attach , no changing vBulletin Board or modifing anything anymore. Yippy
