Extra Notes:

- PSDs of the Logo is provided for editing.
- PSD of Button included with ZIP.
- Style is Fluid in design. If you want fixed, just edit the width under the StyleVAR section..
- By using this skin, you agree not to remove the copyright located in the footer, nor the backlink to WrestlingClique.com.
- Please do not distribute this style. The only acceptable distribution method is through vBulletin.org.

Thank you for using one of our skins! Enjoy.

NOTE: To Remove Advertisements, you simply go to the ADMINCP - > Style Manager - > Edit this styles templates - >
Revert all Ad location Templates to the default vBulletin value, or if you would like to use your own ads in place of the sample ads, edit each ad location template and replace the ad code with your own.

This style has two advertising areas that are not in the Ad Location Templates. One is in the FORUMHOME template, and the other in the HEADER template. Be sure to replace with your own code or other informational item.

Do to time constraints, I am unable to support this style. If time frees up in the future, I'll be back to make updates and help out. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mark, thanks for the update. Once the 3.7 is officially released I will be upgrading my forum (http://www.skywarnforum.org) and then upgrading the theme.

I've enjoyed smoothred so much that I log into vB.org weekly to check for releases. Great job.

I get an error that this d/l is not the correct version for 3.7 rc4. It says it is for 3.7 rc1

Just a heads-up :)

markbolyard
26 Apr 2008, 18:34
Thank you, I've changed the settings to show this is for RC1, however if you select ignore style version during upload, it will work just fine. When vb goes Gold next week, I will check and make the nessecary updates, if any are required. I don't believe there will be any code changes with the templates modified in this style that will not allow it to work error free on 3.7 Gold.

markbolyard
27 Apr 2008, 00:30
Updated to 3.7 RC4 and, for those that requested it, there is a no side column version included in the zip file.

Also by request, if you want to remove the 468x60 banner ad in the header, edit the header template, and find the code below:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Delete the above code, and save the header template.

Enjoy!

Hi Mark,

I was trying to delete a thread when using your skin and i get a strange error message:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error"

If i change the skin to the default VBulletin skin or a different skin i hve in the server i am able tp delete the threads. (See Screenshot)

markbolyard
27 Apr 2008, 04:47
Thank you. I will look into this right now and update the style.


EDIT: THIS IS NOT A STYLE ISSUE

I would suggest visiting vBulletin.com for the patch until they release the gold version. Here is the modification required to your adminfunctions.php file http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?do=patch&attachmentid=855

merismus

How is it possible that i am able to delete it with the default style? I applied the patch but still the same!

markbolyard
27 Apr 2008, 05:32
I am unable to duplicate this error on my stock vbulletin forum. If you would like me to have a look at your forum, you are welcome to send me a pm with a temp admin login. I would be happy to correct the issue if it is within the style, however if I can't duplicate it from my side on my forum, I'm lost as to the cause of the error.

Thanks.

Hello!

thanks for nice style. have one question.. in my default template i have some customs templates (all is to cmps ver 3.0. 1) and how to get them in your style ? must i manually add new template (about 30 templates) or is there any auto process?

markbolyard
28 Apr 2008, 13:28
You can try making any additional templates child styles of your default, but I think you will end up having problems if you do that. I believe you are going to have to manually add new templates to your new styles.

SillyAlien
28 Apr 2008, 23:46
Great themes, Mark!

One small issue here. Both "collapse_tcat" and "collapse_tcat_collapsed" images are the same - a plus sign. Typically, the first one would be a minus.

markbolyard
29 Apr 2008, 02:24
Hm, I thought it had them. I'll have a looksee and get those images in the package, and also post them here. Thanks for the notice. I coded 4 skins in two days so it's possible I packaged a old image directory... who knows. I'll get them up asap.

Where would I go to change the skin into a static width. I tried changing the 100% main table width but that didn't help. Is there anywhere else I should check? Would like to make the white background area about 980 px

fluentdesigns
29 Apr 2008, 18:54
Also just noticed that it doesnt round the corners in CMPS and would like to have it look like that. What do I need to change to make the corners round like the side bar in the forum index?

markbolyard
29 Apr 2008, 19:10
Changing the width in StyleVars to 980 will set this to a static width of 980 px. DO NOT include px in this setting. Just enter 980 and save. As for the corners in your CMPS, that would require custom coding of the CMPS block templates, since they probably use tcat / thead css, which is not rounded.

Is it just me or are the new features in for the user profiles not showing with this theme?

markbolyard

Please elaborate. What "new" features are you refering to? The member profiles in 3.7 with this theme are just like the stock vb theme. Not sure what you mean.

markbolyard

If you have installed this theme on 3.7 GOLD, you will be happy to know there are not code changes in the templates, therefore you do not have to upgrade this style. I will be uploading new packages for all my styles momentarily.

01 May 2008, 10:54
Kudos to you sir, this is a very sweet skin. I've had far more problems with a variety of commercial skins over the years.

The only thing so far that I can suggest is do something about the postcount and threadcount variables in the forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost template. They are displayed in columns, which ruin the layout when you go a few forums deep under certain conditions.

I have downloaded and installed most of your styles on my site.

One of my members did notice that this style has the home url coded for the logo in the upper left corner as opposed to forumhome url as in all other styles. I did make the change in the header code, but thought you might want to rework the default code.

Thank you for this old favorite style.

Got a problem I can't figure out. We have several groups of forums that have forums set as categories in each section, with the attachment you can see one of them - AFC Conference

79843

Now just uploaded Smooth Red and the forum set as a category is not right and screws up the main layout.

79844

Any ideas on what to do to make them look like categories? We uploaded the style as is and it is not set to any parent style. Hope this makes sense!!

Thanks!!

Could be missing images I suppose ?

markbolyard
05 May 2008, 13:18
Did you upload the smoothred folder to your public_html folder or your /forum folder. I can't see the style at your forum because there is no style selector, but my assumption is you need to move the smoothred directory under your /forum directory.

markbolyard
06 May 2008, 04:29
By the looks of it, try uploading the smoothred folder again skipping any files that exist on your server. Everything looks find but (as often happens to me) when uploading via ftp, sometimes it doesn't upload all the files or perhaps it timed out. If that doesn't do it, you can PM me with a temp login and I can look into it further. While I'm awaiting your response, I'll check your image directories to see if the missing images are in fact there.


EDIT: Found your problem. Sent you a PM. You uploaded the entire zip contents to the smoothred folder on your server. Follow the instructions I PMed you, and you'll be all set.

I would have to see the live site to know what's causing that. Appears to be a non standard vb page (a modification) so I would have to see the tags to know why it's like that. You can PM me if you don't want to post it publicly.

Macc,

I have no idea what you're talking about. I visited the link and it looks fine. The only thing I see that is a problem is you have so many links in your navbar, that on a 1024px width monitor, visitors are probably getting a scroll bar left and right. If you can, please post a screenshot as to what you are seeing.

Thanks.

Check your forumhome_level1_nopost template, andif it looks like this:



Code:
---------------

If it doesn't look like this (shows as a default template) then use this code.

markbolyard - Any chance you'll post the source PSD file for this design? There is a button.psd file with this style but when I open it with Photoshop CS2, all I get is the Send PM button.

I absolutely love this style but like to have the option of changing it from red to other colors to use on other boards of mine.

Thanks for the consideration.

I am able to change it for the other skins.. the smoothblue and red just won't accept it.

This is a pretty slick skin. I am using it on my forum, it's so user-friendly and my members love it. Thanks ;)

That is because this skin reads the images from /path to forum/smoothred/misc/

You should really remove all the ad code from the skin before you upload it for others to use.

While I like the skin and have it installed, I had to edit it quite a bit to remove all that junk.

Hello,
I have downloaded and installed SmoothRed and LOVE it! However, I am very new to vb and after I installed SmoothRed I got a few errors within my cp. I really hope that someone can help me with this because I don't have a clue what to do. The first screen said...

Out-of-Date Custom Templates Found!

There are currently 3 customized template(s) that need to be updated or reverted. Some sections of vBulletin may not function if you do not do this!

Then it had a link to click on which brought me to a screen that said...

The templates shown on this page have been updated in the default template set since you customized them.

It may be necessary for you to revert the custom templates, or otherwise check that they fully support vBulletin 3.7.2. If you do not do this, some sections of vBulletin may not function! Please see the release announcements at the vBulletin.com Forums for more information.

And then this...see image

Somebody please tell me what I need to do
Thanks for a wonderful skin

Those are not errors, this is what happens when you import a custom skin. You can either revert the templates, or if you don't notice any problems with your forum, you can leave them alone.

Thank you so much for the reply. Like I said, I am very new to vb, actually this is the first board I've ever done period, and so I thought I had broke something:)

If I could ask another question...what does revert the template mean? I don't mean to sound stupid, I really don't know. :(

I have the latest version of vb which is 3.7.2 pl1 and also using the latest version vbadvanced. Do you know if this template has been updated or works with this version? Also, what is the best thing to do, revert, reinstall, or use a different one?

Again, thanks for you help

Literally, it reverts, or reverses changes made to the templates. The best thing to do is to just test it. You can import the style again under a different name and revert the templates, view it under that test style and see if there's any noticeable problems.


Can someone tell me how to uninstall this style, please
Use the same drop down menu that exists right beside the style in your Admin CP.

Your forum root is the folder your forum is installed in. It's the same folder that has your admincp folder, your archive folder, clientscript folder etc. It's the folder your forum is installed in.

For the rest, refer to the docs: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/style_upload

Very nice style. Thank you very much. I installed it at www.rickshawforum.com.

I have no clue of VB...and would like to now, how to add more boxes and functions to the left sidebar as for example

- a box with last posts
- a poll
- Users online (names of the users)

etc.


Anyway: A great style. I love it.

Thanx a lot:)

Because it's a custom style, you may have to manually make the template edits for those modifications. Check the installation instructions and threads for those modifications for the required template edits. If you installed this style after installing those mods, then there is a chance that there were template edits required that you simply have not made yet.

UGH! LOL! What if I remove the mods and add them back?

Because it's a custom style (ie: the navbar is in the header and not it's typical place), that would do no good. I am in the process of recoding all of my style released for 3.8 RC2, which I will try to implement as much of the auto link placement and such that some modifications make. The problem is, because the elements of this style are customized, those auto template edit features will use default vb styling, which will break the skin / cause it to look bad.

I have a few free moments. If you would like, I can add those mod template edits to your forum for you if you are unable to. Let me know via PM. It's not often I have a few spare minutes :)

This style is AWESOME!

I have a couple of issues yet... the nominate button shows up in extra areas... like PM's etc... and the mood mod doesn't work... and the Youtube mod (inserting it into a message.)

Is there something I need to change?

Thanks so much!

Your style is awesome!
