Use a Different Style

StuartDH · February 5th, 2006, 01:06 PM

I'm using vB 3.5.3 and vBG 1.0.2 and would like to setup my gallery so that it uses a different style to the forums.

Any idea how I can do it?

Is this just not possible? I thought it would have been a fairly common request.

StuartDH,

It's not currently a feature but others have done some hacking to accomplish it.

Try post #5 of this thread...

Kinda defeats the whole purpose of vbgallery, no?

Depends on how different the template is. We want a template that doesn't have the forum buttons in the header, has a different header graphic with 'Gallery' written in it, has different meta tags, different footer, camera icons for 'lastpost' instead of paper icons, different hacks and buttons in the navbar etc.

The gallery template looks pretty much the same as the forum's, but it needed a few changes (mostly hidden) that make it more effective and easier to handle as a seperate template.
