Hey guys. I don't know how many times this type of topic has been posted, but I have searched on here, google, and Joomla! and didn't really find an answer.

I have downloaded a very nice Joomla! template (which I use on my Joomla! test site, www.gamerex.net/portal - I was initially going to use a bridge between Joomla! and vBulletin, but Joomla! is so full of bugs and errors that I decided not to, and to try and skin the template in to vBulletin.

This is the template: http://template15.joomlart.com/ja_sanidine/
(It's extremely nice, and it suites my forums purpose)

And this is how far I have got: http://forum.gamerex.net/?styleid=22
(I have all the basics in place, but I have some errors)

The first few things that I cant get to work are:

1) The navigation. When I insert a link it appears as a normal text link instead of the box. I am pretty sure that all the CSS links are right.

2) The postbit - it doesn't display the left and right backgrounds. The threadbit, and forum displays all show up nicely. But, just the postbit looks awkward.

And that's pretty much it.


I am using the vBulletin default template, so it will make it easier to skin later on - since that part I am familiar with.

I used to implement MyBB skins in to website templates - the results were good, though this is more advance. Any help would be much appreciated.

You should just get ready made dark styles within vBulletin.org and just tweak what needed. You might find some within link below
