Skin Chooser button has been disappeared?????? help

Arthur · Jul 22, 2010

Guys as you can see i have lost the skin chooser button
I have installed two themes but can't be able to show that skins in my forum and there are some confusion regarding changing the styles. kindly make it clear

1) If i copy my new style into "/images/styles" directory then will it be accessible to XML file of skin? suppose i wanna install warrior skin so i copy that skin to my style folder as i have already one theme installed in that folder so if i copy warrior in that particular folder, will it be automaticelly link to the XML file which will be loaded in admin cp?

2) What should be uploaded first. "XML" file or the skin folder?

3) Please tell me the procedure, if i want to add 10 skins on my forum....

if possible kindly explain through screen shot. I have already done the basic steps of changing the new style but in vain.. already select the "user select theme" to yes but still can't be able to show that button

Thank you so much for your cooperation

see the screenshots

Revert the footer template if you don't have any modification or don't bother to do again.

else here's the php code..add it to the appropriate place in the footer template.

PHP:

<if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
		
			<select name="styleid" class="styled" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
				<optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
					$quickchooserbits
				</optgroup>
			</select>
		
	</if>

PHP:

<if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
        <td class="vb_footer" height="38" valign="middle">
            <select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
                    $quickchooserbits
                </optgroup>
            </select>
        </td>
    </if>
    <if condition="$show['languagechooser']">
        <td class="vb_footer" height="38" valign="middle">
            <select name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_language_chooser]">
                    $languagechooserbits
                </optgroup>
            </select>
        </td>
    </if>

You need to have that code in your footer.

You will need to :
Select your template - Click Edit templates - Select "Footer" template. Press edit :

And see if you have that code.

You need to upload image folder of the skin first, and after that .xml file.

More to the point, have you actually enabled it so users can see the choice of styles?

yup man, in both skins i have enabled that option but still not working

XAKEP · Jul 23, 2010

Go to your admin panel Vbulletin Options > Style & Language Settings > Allow Users To Change Styles

Select Yes and save

Palooo 2009 · Jul 23, 2010

Your footer is perfect. Just do what XAKEP said.

Arthur · Jul 23, 2010

Arthur · Jul 23, 2010

one more thing broters........

can i copy my all styles folder into images/styles direcotry? if i have 5 skins like brave, ceilo, magnet warriors...
should i copy all that folders into my images/styles direcotry?? can my XML file will access that folders automaticly when i'll upload that file to my admincp?
please make it clear
thanks

pompom · Jul 23, 2010

np :D
welcome

.........................................
EDIT :
if all the files have different names then no problem,it will access
but if they have same name then it will create problem
u have to upload in a separate folder
& u need to edit the path then

Arthur · Jul 23, 2010

yup bro thats what i am saying....... all the thems are in spearted folder but these are in images/style directory.... if i add all the thems in separet folder in above mentioned category, will it cause problem? or not?
thats the confusion

=:Jack:= · Jul 23, 2010

you can do that
but u will have to edit all the stylevars of all skins
and do some template modifications too
if ur not a pro then dont do that

Arthur · Jul 23, 2010

ok i am not pro
then what is the easity way to add style folder in images directory?
should i copy whole theme folder in image directory?

=:Jack:= · Jul 23, 2010

bro, then u need to move the images folder to the place you want
go to styles & Templates and on the theme, go to syle vars
and edit the folder paths there

Arthur · Jul 23, 2010

@ =:Jack:=

thanks

XCoder47 · Jul 23, 2010
