Aqua-Soft vB3 Skin Released

I really enjoy the look of this new skin. I think it is very inviting. However, I am nervous about the "it is not 100% complete" note that is in the read-me file. How incomplete it is Haha. I am new to VB and dont think I could get in there to fix anything if it went wrong.

Has this file been updated with all the fixes listed here? or should I expect to run into the same bugs?

Thanks for your help.

What that means is, parts of the skin are left as the default vb skin, it will still look just like the aquasoft skin, just nothing was modified, mostly the calendar stuff and the other non-major parts of the forum.

#249618

Wheeew!! That is a relief!

Also, as I read, it seemed that everyone had to change their passwords to gain access to the site? Is that still the case?

I am so new to this, it makes me nervous. I did successfully install another skin with no problems or errors.

#249619

no the password deal was because the passwords were encrypted so when timan converted to vb from ipb the passwords didn't come with it. it doesn't have anythnig at all to do with the skin.

#249645

how do you do to put the "1day ago" on the same line of "by Timan" in the forum home in the column of last post ???

thanks you very much

#249668

Just installed the skin... everything went very smooth!

Its looks GREAT!

Thanks!

Yo, are you gonna finish the Reluna Gloss visual style?

:P

#249695

so wonderful~~

#249736

A couple tweaks but, I dont know where to begin to fix them.

1. When viewing who is online, the IP addresses are not showing.

2. The rating system for the posts, is a great tool, however, with the newness of our site and our board has mostly readers rather than posters, it does not give us an accurate view of the activity. Is there a way to either Add in the Page Views column, or replace the rating with the page view counts?

Thanks to Rspy for the Posticons Code. Easily changed that with the code :)

This theme is extremely nice, and very welcomed for my Mac developer's forum. You will indeed get a nice donation from me.

I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction with some small issues I am having (running vB 3.06).

This theme doesn't seem to have the "EDIT, QUOTE" links in every post, just the first post, or if you happen to enter a name for a replied message. Is this due to the theme or my vB settings?

It's been a while since I worked on vB templates. Can someone point me to the right templates to edit to fix the following request from my users?

* this theme doesn't show who last replied in a thread

* can the "new reply" button be placed on the right, instead of the left?

* Those large (grey) horizontal bars are too big

* The loss of the thread view count is a shame

Thanks so much.

One little idea I had. Many sites run Google Ads. I thought about where I would put my Google Ads in this theme. Then it struct me..... It would be neat to have a "Dock" on the side. Then we can put ads in the doc, and other links.

Cheers,

Carlos

that edit, quote and reply bug is here too, I'm currently looking into it. Its cause of one of the recent updates of vb. I will tell you guys what fixes it when I find it.

#251148

Thanks a million!

I need some help. Just need to know what I am looking for to change the "rating" to "Page Views" Our board is for distributing information more than discussing the information distributed. We are still new, and without the page views our site looks like a ghost town.

I have been tinkering around in the code and am confident that I can change it myself, but I dont know what I am looking for.

Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and the IP addresses do show up in the ADMIN log in, so we are fine there.

Thanks for a great template.

Once we get this fixed, a donation is certainly in order!

I believe you need to edit SHOWTHREAD template under Show Thread Templates group. I'm kinda busy with some projects for few days, if nobody helps - I'll try to post a solution in couple days...

P.S. I would compare default style's SHOWTHREAD template to Aqua's

#251188

Thanks! I was able to change the title in Forum Display, However, The rating bar is still visable.

Thanks, off to compare.

#251206

Well, Could not find where the threads are being built and where the rating bar is being put in.

6 hours in, and still not there.

I tried to just add the views column, but the whole table did not expand with the top. So once I figure out where the table information is coming from I can probably get it.

Off to bed,

thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Tim, I want to thank you for such an awesome Template. By getting in there and changing things I have learned so much.

I was unable to get the changes that I wanted, However, with all that I learned I was able to change one of the other templates to look more like what I wanted it to look like and it already had the thread views in it.

I know I was "pestering" you, and I apologize. It was my lack of knowledge of PHP that hindered me from being able to do what I wanted to do in there.

You have helped me more than you will ever know. and I thank you!

God bless you and your business!

It seems that this board has the fix for the problem with the "Edit" and "Reply" no appearing in each post. Or is it because you are showing "titles" that it works (my own work around)

Anyways, I think the problem is in postbit legacy template

It must be in the following code:

<if condition="$show['messageicon'] OR $post['title']">

<!-- icon and title -->

<div class="smallfont">

<!-- controls -->



<span style="float:right;">

<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">

<a href="../../../../unavailable.html">Forward</a>  |  

</if>



<if condition="$post['editlink']"><a href="../../../../unavailable.html">Edit</a>  | 

</if>



<if condition="$post['replylink']"><a href="../../../../unavailable.html">Quote</a>

</if>



<if condition="$SHOWQUICKREPLY AND !$show['threadedmode']">

 |  

<a href="../../../../unavailable.html" onclick="return qr($post[postid]);">Reply</a>

</if>





</span>

<!-- / controls -->

<if condition="$post['title']"><strong>$post[title]</strong>

</if>



<if condition="$show['reportlink']"> - <a href="../../../../unavailable.html">Report</a>

</if>

</div>

<hr size="0" style="border-top:1px solid #c0c0c0;" />

<!-- / icon and title -->





</if>

My hunch is that it is the line:

I remember back a few years ago when I owned a vBulletin board for my site. It was neat playing around with all the templates and such. That was back when there was very few professional designers, c-pr0mpt being one of them. Now every's gotten the hang of it. ;)

This style is exceptionally well done, I love the graphite version. :)

#252300

I think it's great how Tim said:

"I do not plan at this time to release updates on this skin to the public. So if you have a problem with this skin, you need to fix it yourself."

Yet most of you are still asking him 'Fix this, I want this, update this' as if totally ignoring what he said.

If you want the skin, it's YOUR responsibility to fix the issues and (as a few have so graciously and kindly done here) help one another out.

My thanks to those who are providing updated fixes and helpful replies.

Leave Tim alone and learn something for yourselves for a change...he's not your daddy and he's not here to hold your hand. He gave this skin freely (which hopefully some of you are helping him out by donating) and that's that.

#252495

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I sent in my donation to the designer of this theme a few days ago to show my support. Hopefully, if others follow suit, the designer can release a newer version.

Cheers,

Carlos
