Awesome theme! :) Is it possible to control where a browsing user lands? I.e. on the CMS or FORUM specifically?

Thanks for your great work! :)

Hello,

Do you plan to make this theme for vBulletin 5 or IP Board?

That would be great. Thanks,

Hello,

Yes, we have Metro for vBulletin 5. Please contact us via our profile page.

My emails werent answered. I want to know how to change the nav bar buttons. I have an offsite blog and I am linking to it in the nav bar. The button used is the giant plus site (+) I want to change this to the button used in the demo the the blog (The articles button) How do I change this?

Hello,

Please check your inbox!

Hi, I have purchased Metro – A Theme for vBulletin 4.2 -> extracted the file -> followed enclosed PDF installation instructions, but got stuck on point 2) – log in to your admin panel. Nothing was installed yet, just folder with themes copied to my server, so I don’t think I will find the file with admin panel.

Was the file received in complete? Do I need to install to my server anything else beforehand please? I did not find any other instructions regarding the very first installation.

Thank you for your time!

Hello,

AdminCP is the default vBulletin panel. So you can login there anytime!

One very last question, trying to move to a logo.png with a white/background color background on my site http://www.christianmom.com and want to remove the colored box to white/background color that is where the logo goes?

Still want the different blocks in color (pink), just the block where the logo goes to the background color…

Thanks in advance -

Hello,

You need to replace the background-color from the ’#middle_header’ block and then assign necessary color to ”.navtabs > li” css-rule.

Worked great! Thanks

Last question, is there a way to move the search box from the upper left of the style, to to the right, under the sub navigation menu (Under Forum Actions, Quick Links?)

Thanks in advance -

Yes, you can either do it via absolute positioning or editing the template layout, but the last way is more complex.

I have tried editing the position via #top_header .globalsearch, but can not get the box to move… Any suggestions?

Please send me a link to your forum via our profile page.

Is there a way to have a background image on this style? Want the background, but to have the forums still have the light gray background only the outer section of the fixed width?

Possible?

Hello,

Sure, you can add a background image to the style. Try to assign the background to html-tag of the style.

I have tried to apply a background image, but can only apply to “doc_background’, and then set ‘body_background’, but still have many places on the theme that still have the background image? is there a better way to do this? Saw the example from http://www.pokemonunited.nl/, but can not accomplish the same… Another way to approach?

You need to delete color background of those blocks. Then you’ll see your main image background.

hello, in your preview login box are in popup in my version no http://www.sanihelp.it/forum/forum.php how can I make itin popup?

Hello,

As far as I see you modified the theme in some way. That’s why your login is not a popup anymore. You need to revert the header templates to get it back.

Hi great theme. I have it all set up with the blue. I want to change the blue to a slightly darker color than the default. How would I go about changing it? Thank you.

Hello,

You need to change some Style Variables and css-code for that. Style Variables can be found here – AdminCP – Styles & Templates – Style Manager – YOUR_STYLE – Style Variable Editor. Here you just need to replace the default blue color to your preferred color. You also need to edit some css-templates and replace the color there too. In this case you can use ‘Find and Replace’ tool that is built in the theme manager.

Thanks ended up fixing that. My main question now is how to change the buttons for the nav menu at the top. I have an offsite forum that I link to. The current button is the giant plus sign (+) I want to change it to the button used in the demo called “Articles” or even the one they use for “Blog” how can I change that?

Hello,

Please contact us via our profile page and send us a link to your forum.

can you point me in the right direction . . . i would like to have a logo that acts the same one of the two following sites . . . they are fluid (resize) how can I do this?

http://www.maxbimmer.com/forums/index.php http://jeepcherokeeclub.com/forum.php

please anything you can suggest or recommend would be helpful (other than “get a web developer”) lol, thank you

Hello,

Do you want to have a completely responsive header? I think you could try to make the logo responsive. Just use the following media queries – http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/media-queries-for-standard-devices/

But don’t forget, the theme has min-width, so smartphone resolutions from that page are not necessary.

And what specifically you need to fix? Who bought and style set. Here’s ytmedia.ru

Question about vbadvanced

Hello,

Thank you for the purchase!

What kind of issue do you have with the theme? That long header thing?

Hi PixelGoose, can you assist with the above question regarding were to put the code for the resizable title banner I would like to add? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Hello,

Answered! :)

Hello Style is not properly otobrazhaetsya on vbadvanced. You have not tested for vbadvansed?

Hello,

The theme supports vBAdvanced but in some cases it needs some additional css-styling.

Style is not displayed properly on the vbadvanced. You can look at the site ytmedia.ru. What exactly is it you need to fix css?

Hello,

The forum is closed for me, I can’t see any parts of it. Could you send any screenshots of the issues?

I would like to use the following code for my header, can you please tell me where to put it? Your help is much appreciated, thank you . . .

this code will apparently make the logo “fluid” or re sizable . . . .

<!-- logo --> <a name="top"></a> <table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tr bgcolor="#123456"> <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="http://www.leftsideimage/image.jpg" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td> <td align="$stylevar[right]"><img src="http://www.rightsideimage/image.jpg" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></td> </tr> </table> <!-- /logo -->

Hello,

vBulletin 4 doesn’t have any tables in its header. If you add the code you may break the header. And since the theme has min-width you just need to add some media queries to work with screen resolutions.

And by the way. You don’t need to edit any of the templates to add a banner. Just use the default banner system for that! :)

show right under “feature” this supports version 4.2.1 – that is the version I have (and need to use) unfortunately there are 2 folders 4.2.0 and 4.2.2 – when I try to install either of them Vbulletin comes back with a version error . . . please help . . . .

Hello,

You should use Metro for 4.2.0 for you vB version. And when you install just set ‘Ignore Style Version’ option to ‘Yes’.

there are 2 folder 4.2.0 and 4.2.2 – I have version 4.2.1 – which one should I install?

Hi Pixelgoose,

I want my forum to look similar to my website: http://www.pokemonunited.nl/

I’ve managed to set up my background image on my forum, but the problem is that there seems to be no full container like my website. How can I do this?

Hello,

I think you could add styling to ‘body’ tag – it may help you to set background-color and use an image as a background below the block.
