Evolve pretty impressed with your custom front end

Easy to achieve at all?

[MaestroX]

I was wondering, in your new system will the theme price be the same price of €20.00? Also, if I choose to buy it now and wanted a upgrade later will I need to re-purchase or are upgrades free?

Currently the price is planned to be the same and there is no upgrade fee. We run yearly licenses for updates, so after a year a nominal fee will have to be paid to still receive updates and support.

I am also wondering when will the new system be open and running, and ETA like tekguru asked would be great. Furthermore, I would not require vbadvanced template because my front page is a custom coded PHP portal.

The new system will be up and running in a matter of days. The vBadvanced module is optional and seperate to the styles, so if you don't need it, it doesn't need to be installed

I wanted to know once I purchase the skin and wanted minor customizations here and there, would I be able to get them for free by talking to one of your consultants?

Minor customizations are free via our support ticket system.

Thanks MaestroX, another question: The updated Red Carbon style, I would like to know what it looks like. Would I have the ability to purchase the old style once the new is released if I do not like the new style? Can't wait for the new system.

Tekguru: I saw your mobile website, it's also quite nice. The custom front-end took a long time to do. Wasn't as easy to achieve as I expected. :S

Hello,

The new system is up, it was released yesterday. You can check the announcement here: New Licensing System, Updated Styles + Modules!

For demos of the new skin you can check our demo forum here: http://www.vbskinzone.com/demo/. I highly doubt you will dislike the new release, but if you have problems, we'll gladly help you out

Glad you like it - needs a touch of Red Carbon though

I can imagine - might be a useful Mod to document though if you ever get the chance.

Any update on the tab editing tutorial yet? Only asking as I can get working on these whilst waiting on the final RCarbon fixes.

[MaestroX]

Hi there,

Check out our new documentation here: http://www.vbskinzone.com/forums/faq.php

You should be able to fix some of the other Red Carbon fixes with that info too.

Brilliant - I'll be in there later Cheers!

Okay - that has turned on the TAB changes although I now see the lower tabs only

Ref the fix for the lower line underneath 'Welcome' the fix failed for me, but if I reverse the if/then and search or the lowest forum ID (in my case 4) then the following works - note that this is / was a fix applied to other styles - it seems automatically by vB as all other styles have that type of code if there. May be worth updating the FAQ?

PHP Code:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 4">
<else />
</table>
<div class="bcorner"><div class="bcrn-c"><div class="bcrn-l"></div><div class="bcrn-r"></div></div></div>
<br />
 
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
</if>

    <tr>
        <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">

Okay - that has turned on the TAB changes although I now see the lower tabs only

Have you installed the vBAdvanced module? The module gives you the ability to add the top tabs (portal and forum tabs). (I'll add info in the documentation on how to add your own custom tabs)

Thanks for the extra info, I'll experiment and see if I can reproduce how you did it.
