Thanks gator777,
Nice style, I love it.

but, I can't see smileys.

Thanks suiyuan ...it's always nice to hear :D

I found the problem with the smilies, and I will fix the download .zip

UPDATE: All fixed! Be sure to re-upload the images folder, and re-install the XML file. :D

[berla]

Great Style, but XML File doesn't work!

You are using always direct URL adresses into the XML FIle ie. "url(http://www.the-armory.net/forum/images/gradients/gradient_thead.gif) repeat-x top "

:eek:

:eek:
The XML file should work good now. The information you referred to in the XML file is for reference only (developers left it after they upgraded from VB3 to VB4), and should not affect the install or operation of the style. I did find an entry that needed to be changed, so I had to correct it. Everyone needs to re-download and reinstall everything. :)

Thanks a lot gator777, you're really fast ;))

Now it works great! Very nice Style - it's my favorite!

Ok let me be the first to complain. First, the style is pretty slick; I like it!

My only complaint is that you're not using the default smilies directory which means I have to have 2 copies of all of my smilies on the server. One for the default vb which all of my other styles are using and one just for this style. Where can I fix this?

That's easy ...

Go to your AdminCP

Select Styles and Templates on (left side block menu)

Select Replacement Variable Manager

Delete the entry under Shades of Green called images/smiles

This will return the path back to your main smiles directory :D

Thats it!

Let me know if you have any more issues...

Perfect! Thank You.

I am able to upload the .xml file, but when I try to upload the entire directory, I get the error "553 Prohibited file name:" and no files are uploaded. Doesn't matter what I try, I cant get it to work.

Check with your web host. There is nothing special about these files that would preclude you from uploading. Also, I will be releasing an update soon for version 4.0.8, because the stylevars have changed a bit. :D

[inshooter]

I removed it. for some reason, FileZilla will not upload it. The FTP at GoDaddy will, but only one file at a time. I haven't seen anything like it. I will wait for your update and try again. Thanks.

I updated the theme, so let me know if you have any more issues.

Also, when using Filezilla, be sure to select overwrite the files (make sure you are in the correct directory when doing so). :)

They have added some more graphics to this version, 4.0.8, so be sure to re-upload the images.

[inshooter]

Still won't upload. I tried to upload only ONE file, and this is the error it shows. (but its the same error for every file)

553 Prohibited file name: shades_of_green_4.0.8\upload\images\shades_of_green\buttons\add-infraction_sm-hover.png

[gator777]

Make sure Filezilla is set to "Auto" file type

Open Filezilla and ...

Edit > Settings > Transfers > File Types > Auto

[inshooter]

That is set to Auto. I tried using a different FTP and same result. I can upload other files to that directory...can't explain it.

[inshooter]

Just tried thru GoDaddy FTP, it'll load the xml file to the server but nothing more. (I know that gets added to vB, but I just wanted to see if ANYTHING from your zip would upload, and that was the only file.)

[gator777]

I would contact GoDaddy Support and ask them why. There is no reason I can think of that would cause the upload to fail.

[inshooter]

I did, and they were able to get me thru a backdoor, but that filepath is all whopper-jawed. The path is totally incorrect for the .xml There are too many directories - at least two unneeded directories before the correct filepath which should start at \images

This is the way the filepath appeared after unzipping it:

\shades_of_green_4.0.8\upload\images\shades_of_green

I had to remove two directories and rename a folder from shades_of_green_4.0.8 to just shades_of_green for it to work.

They said the 553 error was caused by the filenames with the dots in it.

(FTR, I am using a Mac with FileZilla and it will not let me see into the sub folders of that file. All files within the .zip file show up as the run-on file I posted the path of above. I haven't tried it on a Windows machine to see if it is any different.)

[inshooter]

oh yeah...it works now. - INSTALLED.

I think you misunderstood the directions:

The only file you need to upload was the "shades_of_green" folder to your "image" directory. It should have looked like this...

http://yourforumURL/forum/images/shades_of_green/

Do you understand the file structure? You should have never included all the folders as they are only present to give you an example of where the folder should be placed.

[myco]

whow-nice work.
thank you Gator.

I understand file structures...lol

What I'm saying is that by using the Mac, it does not allow me to break down the folders to get to the correct end folders. All of the files appear as a long url string with the folder names attached to the front of the file. I do not have a PC to try it on right now, but my Macbook Pro would not read the file right after it was unzipped.

The weird part is, I have uploaded at least 10 other themes from here, and never once had an issue with uploading any of them (except compatibility with 4.0.8)

Yours is the only that wouldn't work.

But it does now.

I can't explain it anymore than that.

love the scheme, any chance of a "shades of tan" such as desert tan an OD green type colors?

Only thing I have noticed is some smilies show up as broken links, other than that no problems.

It seems you have some custom smiles, so you will have to make a copy of them and place them in your shade_of_green image folder.

Copy from /images/smiles/

then

Move to /images/shades_of_green/smiles/

It's just that easy. :D Good luck!

It looks very nice but I have an upload problem. Everything in the zip is in one directory and has the whole directory path as its name (rendering the files prohibited names). eg; shades_of_green_4.0.8\upload\images\shades_of_green\statusicon\user_invisible.gi f

(I assume this is a new update issue as no one else appears to have noticed it.)

You need to unzip (decompress) the attached file, and then upload the "shades_of_green" folder to your forums images directory so it would look like this...

images/shades_of_green

I know. Actually turns out to have been the unzipping program. Early morning error people might want to remember in future for an off-day. Sorted it out now, cheers!

Hi all,

Really liked the look of this style but ran into a small issue when I installed it. Seems somehow the Who's Online doesn't like it or something. As you can tell in the attachment that I was showing to be viewing an image for Battlefield Bad Company 2. I don't have any images in my image folder that relates to such.

Since the issue I have deleted all files on server, reuploaded and readded the same style and still same thing. So since I have my own VPS Server I went into my WHM and killed the domain and started over. I won't reload this style at this time, just wanted to bring this to the authors attention since in his attachments it showed being a BFBC2 Style.

Hi Gemma, go to your Admin CP and go to...

Styles & Templates > StyleVars > postbitlegacy_userinfo_width

This will allow you to modify the width of the User Info on the left side of the postbit.

If you want to change the overall width of the postbit itself, you will need to modify the CSS directly.

[Gemma]

Thanks a lot :)

[Phaedrus]

When I added this style it had a replacement variable that caused it to look for smilies somewhere they weren't on my forum. I had to find and revert that so that smilies would work.

[spinko]

This template is great! Thanks!

One challenge I'm having is the link color is white. I've verified in the template vars that it's set to dark green as seen in your screen shots but can't get it to update. Any suggestions?

I don't think I understand. Why did you delete the smile variables? What are you trying to accomplish?

[Hawk7173]

earlier in this thread it was said to do that in order to have the existing smilies from the default style to be on both.

[Phaedrus]

When I added this style it had a replacement variable that caused it to look for smilies somewhere they weren't on my forum. I had to find and revert that so that smilies would work.

He's talking about this. I had to find and revert the replacement variable so that this style used my regular smilies rather than the limited smilies list that came with the style. It also pointed somewhere that I hadn't installed the smilies (not all of us use forums/)...

However I'm unsure what he is talking about. I reverted, this used my regular smilies and potential disaster was averted. If he wants it to use the smilies that came with the style he'll need to keep the variable.

Hi Markos, I haven't looked into that, but I will see what I can find out. It is vBulletin's new editor and may require direct modification of the css for the WYSIWYG editor. Also, I have converted my board over to Invision board and haven't spent much time over here lately. If you don't hear from me, please shoot me a PM and remind me. :)

Take care

Thanks anyways, the editor looks fine now.

[Shadown]

Works this style with 4.1.10?

[Tipmoose]

I am hoping we can get a version that works with 4.1.10 soon. Ive manually manipulated the stylevars so that it almost works. Ive got a problem where the search button (magnifying glass) in the navbar causes the navbar to extend as far to the right as is possible. And when I say as far as possible, I mean it. I am guessing it is as wide as the largest number the width variable can hold. It's obscenely far to the right.

[Markos]

i dont think this is getting worked on anymore

[Tipmoose]

I was afraid of that....

[Markos]

its a great style too :(
