StyleVar for main category in 4.0?

Do you know what controls the Category color? Right now everything is the same color.

The stylevar is right in the categories template

Reeftalk Forums

A community photo gallery - ReefTalk Gallery

The category template is a completely table free vb 40 design template so it uses the vb full design. It should look completely the same as your forum list.

Then there is something wonky going on. Here is our forum and our gallery is here.

[Chuck S]

There is nothing wonky at all going on.

Your forum and gallery look completely the same like mine.

I always say a picture is work a thousand words so I visited your site and took a snapshot of your forum cat list and then our catlist. Both have that little green topbar and then the rest of the table is white and your tableboreder appears to be that green color. Look the same to me

[Chuck S]

The only difference I see from yours and mine is you have not updated your categories template to the latest. So my suggestion there is you want your categories descriptions to be left aligned you need to download and use our latest code. Make sure to update your core php files and the entire templates directory.

I am updating this, as I have a ticket from a customer who asked for it to change.

I have changed the

Background for Forum Rows
Background for First Row in the Forum

to a light brown color. You can view that here.

When I go to the gallery, everything is still white. What stylevar controls the categories and sub categories in the gallery, because as far as I can tell, it's not the same that control it in the forum.

Thank you.

The categories template is a complete 100% mock of the actual forum categories template

Looks fine to a default vb so the real question would be is what exactly you changed?

If I look at the html and classes in the page source they are the same so I cant say what you changed.

[Chuck S]

In your forum

Content visible to verified customers only.

and in your photopost

Content visible to verified customers only.

Look idential stylewise to me.

Apparently there is a difference.

In StyleVars I changed

forumrow_background
forumrow_firstentry_background

Doing that changed the background of the categories in the forum from #FFFFFF to #F7F5F1

Now, if the colors in the forum look identical to the gallery, then I'll agree "Yes, it's identical", but since it does not, what StyleVar controls the categories in the gallery.

[Chuck S]

I cant say all I did was make it work with a default vb theme I dont know what else controls this or whether there is an additional style called maybe on with changes?

[Chuck S]

Try this in header-inc.php add this to the top of the file under the require for config-int.php

$vbdate = time();

then do a search for 1257466372 in the actual css links and replace that with $vbdate

Was this in reply to my issue?

vBulletin will not answer this because it is not their template that is in question.

The gallery page is not a default vbulletin page. They probably use their own templates with their own classes in there. You will have to ask them for help. Have they upgraded their templates to use the 4.0.1 stylevars?

So, I need to know how to change this via the Gallery please.

[Chuck S]

My reply was to you yes

I don't understand what you're asking me to do.

That information really doesn't help me with this issue. I have a suggestion, perhaps you could do this on your site and pinpoint exactly where your code controls the category color, since you are the one who understand what needs to be changed in the code and how to do it. This is general support of your software.

[Chuck S]

Why dont you try this because the build should already be updated with the code I noted.

Redownload the build and upload header-inc.php and see if it fixes your issue.

[Fortissimo]

The new build has changed the color issue, but there is still the issue that there is no way to tell what is a main category and what is a sub category.

In previous builds the main category was listed in one color and the sub categories in other colors. You can see that change in the demo you have here on the site.

Main Index - PhotoPost Photo Gallery

This no longer works with the integration with vb4.0

On our site

GP Central
Challenges
GP Designer Central

are all main categories with many sub categories under it. We need it to work like it did before. If a stylevar in vBulletin needs to be changed, please specify which one. If a template needs to be altered, please list the exact steps on how to alter it.

[Chuck S]

Yes there is

In the new build a top level category that contains no thumbs will print a new table much like the new vb layout.

[Fortissimo]

If it's suppose to work that way, it's not.

A Digital Scrapbooking layout and inspiration gallery - The Pixel Gallery

GP Central is the main category. It has no thumb and it has no images uploaded to it. Images are only uploaded to the sub-categories below it.

[Chuck S]

Is that parent category set in edit categories to CONTAINS THUMBS is NO?

You can see it works here
