Give Thanks

Fall is here, and Thanksgiving (my second favorite holiday) is right around the corner.

'Give Thanks' features -


Many original images
a Thanks button for those who use the Post Thanks mod
Separated forum categories

LIVE DEMO (http://www.themesbydesign.net/forums/index.php?styleid=109)





Click on the "Install" button on the right of this post, then download the zip file to your computer and extract it (I put it on my desktop, it's easier to remember where I put it!).
Open your ftp client to your server. Go to your forum's images folder, open it, and create a styles folder.
Next, upload the thanks folder via FTP to your server, into the styles folder, so that your image path is images/styles/thanks/buttons, for example.
After you've uploaded the folder, open your admin control panel on your forum, and import the xml file, by going to Styles & Templates > Download / Upload styles > Import Style XML File.
Click on the Browse button, locate the thanks-style.xml, and double-click it so it loads in that box, then hit the Import button.



The zip file contains a 'blanks' folder where you'll find a blank header and buttons, all in PNG format, for easy editing. No PSD's are available.

If you have any questions, just holler.

Enjoy! :rose:

Thanks for letting me know. It's not part of that theme, just part of GARS. We'll get one up there.

BTW, the "Thanks" button in the Thanks Style is mis-named as "thanks.gif" and it should be named post_thanks.gif. :cool:

Thanks!! I've got mine installed but the blank PNG you gave isn't lining up like yours does...how can I fix that?

Peggy

You'll need to change the width of the image in the header template. There are 2 places to change it at.

We have installed the Thanksgiving theme (customized to our site), and it looks wonderful. Our members have been raving about it. Thanks so much! :)

I'm glad they like it, thanks melody.

Can you post a link to your site? I wanna see!!!


EDIT: I found your link in my profile messages. LOVELY!

I'm glad you like it! I am really pleased with it. I wasn't sure if it was ok to post the link here, but since it is, the theme is on www.ClothDiaperNation.com if anybody else wants to look at it. We made a couple of small changes, but it is pretty true to the original design. I love to play with themes, and this is a brand new forum, so we are all extra excited. :)

I have vbadvanced cmps and photopost vb gallery the giving thanks style is not working correctly with.

Can you offer any advice?

Peggy
11-15-2008, 12:01 PM
Yes. Go through the styles' Style Vars section, and the Main CSS section, as well as the header template and change all instances of images/styles/thanks/misc (and any other images folder)TO

http://www.youraddress/forum/images/styles/thanks/etc etc

of course, if your vBulletin isn't in a forum or forums folder, leave that off ;)
