Pixeljunction.com Christmas Theme

Well Ladies and Gentlemen here we have it. This theme comes complete with an Xmas Button Set as well as other images in order for it to fit the “Xmas Theme” Installation couldn’t be easier. Simply follow these steps:

Download the Style and accompanying images HERE (http://www.pixeljunction.com/vbthemes/xmas.zip)

1)Download the .Zip File and Unzip it’s contents to a Folder in which you will remember
2)Log into your Admin Panel
3)Under the Styles Menu Select Download/Upload
4)Hit the “Browse” button and select the “vbulletin.style” file that you extracted from the ZIP file. Where it says “Overwrite Existing Style” Select “No , Create a new Style”. For the option “Use style file even if it is for a different version of vBulletin” Select “YES”. Then Select “Upload File”
5)Now Upload the Entire contents of the folder “xmas_images” to the root directory of vbulletin. IE it should be like this “/yourboard/xmas_images”

If you have any questions/comments please feel free to send me a PM or E-mail me and I would be more than happy to help. All we ask is that you keep the link to our website at the bottom. It’s already there we’re just asking that you don’t remove it.

A special thanks to Prolex for making the button set and some of the graphics. Also thanks to Kier and Ed Sullivan for helping me fix some of the bugs.

Just edit each of the style properties (including Default) and point them to the Christmas Replacement and Template sets.

[Steve Machol]

Sinecure or Prolex - what's the font used in 'Happy Holidays'?

[Prolex]

The Font is "Monotype Corsiva"

[Prolex]

The PSD's could be avaliable upon "special" request :)

[NYI Fan]

Another job very well done guys! If it fit the style of my board I would definately be using it!! You do nice work!!

[Joe Gronlund]

you spelled calendar wrong hehe :D :cool:

[Sinecure]

If we gave away the PSD files that would be in essence distributing the vbgfx kit, which is bad, very very bad :( hehe
Umm, maybe I could convince John to place them in the members area or soemthing, meh :D

[Steve Machol]

Originally posted by Sinecure

[Sinecure]

I'll send em to ya when I get home..
If anyone else wants them. Shooot me, I meant shoot me a PM :D eheh

[DarkManX_19]

this looks awesome, my index.php loads the style but then when i go into a forum it goes back to my default style....anyone know why??


thanks

[Sinecure]

Whats your URL?? You selected the theme under your profile correct?

[DarkManX_19]

yes i did, i have the christmas theme disabled for now

but here is my forum

www.partylounge.net/tof

[Prolex]

hmm..not loading for meq

[DarkManX_19]

seems that my server has been having problems 2nite......i emailed them and said they are working on it....should improve shortly they say......

should i enable the christmas template....oh well u guys would have to register to switch to it.....well just tell me what you need me to do...thanks

[Sinecure]

Once everything is working well on your server, enable the Chrismtas theme. Its up to you wether you want it to be the default for your users or one they can pick seperatly.

[DarkManX_19]

everything should be working ok now......

and i've enabled the theme.....

[Nafae]

nice sin :)

[DarkManX_19]

[Sinecure]

Glad to hear that. A few people requested the PSD's for the top, unfortunatly I am just out the door for the entire weekend but I will send them right away on MOnday! CYA~

[Steve Machol]

If anyone's interested, here's the ON.GIF I created to use with this set:

[Prolex]

What's your e-mail address?

[Sinecure]

I would have sen't em to ya, but I was to lazy to get em through the network, couldn't find em :P

[Steve Machol]

smachol@optiboard.com

Thanks!

[Farid]

Sinecure : It would be great if you can post the PSD of the "Calendar" button or at least the correct GIF ;)

I have started implementing the Xmas style on my forum but I will only switch it as default next weekend. I have made quite a few changes, especially the header image. I will also be adding a nice script on my forum with snowflakes falling on the screen. I have put everything in a nice Zip file, including my header PSD... feel free :

http://www.dtourism.com/media/xmas.zip

:D

[Prolex]

Sorry about not sending that e-mail steve :( You didn't respond before I headed off to work...I'm @ school right now but when I get home I will send that Header PSD off to yah :)

[Joe Gronlund]

can you send it to me to please at snowcat@asendtechnologies.com

again great work on this theme.

also: what the hell is a Cr0n Job?

[Sinecure]

Using cron jobs you can excute certain tasks to be carried out by the server at certain times and what not. Its pretty cool :D

[Paul J]

Hey...just noticed something.

When replying to a thread, the thread summary underneath the thread is not formatted like the rest...it is set to the left and looks a bit funky.

[Steve Machol]

It looks fine to me - just like it always has. :confused:

[Sinecure]

Steve, wait until you see the board re-design I am doing for PJ, its mind boggling :D

[Steve Machol]

Great! Let me know when it's done and I'll check it out.

[Sinecure]

Do you have ICQ?? If so I'll hook you up with a preview, my ICQ is 43774379

[Steve Machol]

I do but I generally keep it off.

[Sinecure]

oh :( Well you have my ICQ #, I am online right now, waiting for that flashing thingy :D heheh

[Steve Machol]

I honestly don't know how to contact anyone with ICQ. Do I use 'Add/Invite Usrs'?

[Prolex]

hehe YEp...hit Add/Invite then a thing pops up..then you can search by E-mail, First and Last name and lastly ICQ #...just plug his ICQ # in that spot and then it'll show his name...Then just double click on his name and it'll ask you to "tell you why you to add him"

[Joe Gronlund]

did anyone get the PSD of the header graphic mailed to them?

or do only certain members qualify for that??

[jbear62000]

No I haven't received it either, maybe he is real busy?

[Prolex]

No I haven't received it either, maybe he is real busy?

Atleast you've got some patience...I have a very hectick schedule people..I'll send it to you when I get some time :|

[Prolex]

I apologize for the misunderstanding. I PM'ed Sinecure Friday and asked for the Happy Holidays header.psd as per his post. My email address is jbear62000@hotmail.com

[Sinecure]

I don't have the PSD's on my comp :p

[epi]

gives me a invalid style file error

[Sinecure]

What version of vb are you using? Make sure that you have the following check box marked when you upload the style.
“Use style file even if it is for a different version of vBulletin” Select “YES”.

[Joe Gronlund]

Thanks for the template. Very nice!!

hmm I have this same problem. Also when you click into a thread it breaks the canes. and the presents shift left??
Which templates control these two?

[JTMON]

Well I fixed it a little by comparing the output source with PJ's. There was an extra </table> tag, But it's still off a bit. Any help here is mucho appreciado..I've included a screenie:

[JTMON]

:rolleyes:

Why No attachments on edits? :D

[Sinecure]

hmm, what page is that on? I can barely see the screenshot

[JTMON]

Showthread.php3


here's a better shot

[JTMON]

And also newreply.php3

Other than those, it works great!

[JTMON]

ok I've managed to fix newreply-that was being messed up because I had it set to show 30 clickable smilies and they were forcing the table to be larger. Still not sure on showthread though

[epi]

i am using vvb v2.03 and whenever i try to add the style file it says that it is a invalid style file? anyone have any ideas?

[JTMON]

Did you make sure that the option that says allow styles from other versions was set to yes?

[epi]

yes i did that and it doesn't work

[Sinecure]

Epi, perhaps if you trust me send me a PM with a login and pass that is an admin and I'll be glad to take a look at it.

[silkroad]

Sinecure, thanks so much for the Christmas present! We made your Christmas theme the www.unix.com default theme for the season!

We are more than happy to keep the link to your site at the bottom. I think that this is a great way to promote graphic artists and stylemasters!!

Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!!!

[Sinecure]

Your very very much :D

[silkroad]

You're welcome :p

We are still hoping someone designs a super high-tech industrial theme to highlight on the UNIX vB site after the holidays ;)

[JTMON]

Thanks to a post by C-Prompt in another thread I fixed my showthread problem. Here is both the fixes in case someone else encounters this-apparently it's a known issue.

Originally Posted by C-Prompt

In the showthread template look for:


code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- End content area table (CREATED IN HEADER!!) -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Remove it.

Next look for

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- restart content table from header -->
<table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Remove it.

That should do it.

[Sinecure]

hmm, I already did that in my version, yet it wasn't working in the style file I gave everyone?

[JTMON]

Well I can tell you it was still in the one I had. Unless it's because my board is hacked. Although I did have to rehack all the templates.

[Sinecure]

IC, That could be part of the reason, regardless, thats weird :D
I'm glad you fixed it and hopefully other people can use that for reference if they are having the same probs

[JTMON]

Yes, and everyone loves it. They keep telling me good work and I keep telling them you did it:D

[Sinecure]

hhehe, well thank you. I am releasing another "Free style" very soon for people to use :D

[JTMON]

I can't wait! Thanks Again!!:D

[Sinecure]

Your welcome Neighbourino :D hehe lol

[silkroad]

Yes, we look forward to more vB.style genius from Sinecure! Folks have already made comments like 'wonderful Christmas decorations!'.....

Also, thanks for making the Christmas theme so easy to install with such easy to follow instructions.

[Sinecure]

Your welcome :D
Luv the avatar ;)

[Farid]

And here we go : another site with Sinecure's wonderful Xmas style :)

www.DTourism.com

As I said before, I just made some "changes" to the header.

Again, Sinecure : great work!!!
Thank you so much

[Prolex]

I absolutly love those snowflakes !

[Sinecure]

w00t this post hit 100 :D

[Farid]

Originally posted by Prolex

I've put everything in a nice Zip file, look for my post somewhere above ;)

I've finally included the Javascript in the "forumhome" template, right before the </body> tag, and not in the "footer" template. This way, the snowflakes appear only on the homepage and not when you view the different forums, post, reply, etc... :)

[Sinecure]

yeah , lol, that could get annoying :D

[Prolex]

Ahhh..Thanks Farid..i will take a look @ that

[DaTeX]

[Teea]

I've read each reply in this thread, but I'm still not sure how I go about the Christmas theme.

I've learned what little I do know by asking and reading on here. Please bare with me, as I understand.


Are there some guidelines for newbies like me , on how to get my site to have a Christmas theme ? I was able to get the ThanksGiving theme to half look normal with just using simple color changes and three graphics.. but I'd like to attempt to do more for Christmas. The snowflakes for the background would be totally awesome.. but I haven't a clue how.

If anyone has time and wouldn't mind lending a helping hand as to how I go about this, I would be very greatful.

Thank you :o
