How do i get the styles to show up

[afterglow]

All the templates i bought from vbstyles all worked inside the forum but not on the portal. Only the default theme shows up even if u choose the other from the pull down menu. I'm not a programmer so could somebody teach me how to get all my styles to show up on the portal?

Thanks and regards,

afterglowAfterGlow, check ACP --> Edit Pages --> {whatever your page name is} --> Edit --> Custom Style For This Page and make sure that it says "Use Default Style" instead of a specific style. When set to use the default the CMPS portal should automatically pick up any styles then from your VB.

Are they set to 'Default Style' or 'Use Default Style'?

Ok, i deleted all the installed styles leaving only the default style, then i did this process:

Went to
Admincp-->Styles & Templates-->Download / Upload Styles.
Set the Import/Upload settings like i did before
Set Merge Into Style to (Create New Style)
Set Ignore Style Version to Yes
Set Title for Uploaded Style to nothing (leave it blank)
Set Parent Style to the default style that i made the parent style
Set Display Order to whatever i want
Set Allow User Selection to Yes

Then i re-installled the portal cmp and updated the templates.

I went to my portal and styles don't show up still. They show up very well on the forums though. Is there something i'm missing? Do i need to modify each and every template i installed? Here's my portal link (http://www.wowplanet.com/vbindex.php)

Please let me know how to fix this.

Afterglow, did you have a chance to confirm the answer to Brian's question above?

Forgive my ignorance but i don't understand your question. I've already mentioned the process i did. I used Default Style. Why? Am i missing something here? Is there a choice of Default Style or Use Default Style? If so, where should i look? Sorry, i'm still new to vb and haven't ventured into its components yet.

I just did. Sorry. I started looking here and there finding out if i'm missing one thing. Can't figure out where to look for it. I mean Default Style and Use Default Style. Where exactly can i find this options?

Go into your Admin Contro Panel (ACP) then choose vBa CMPS from the menu on the left then choose Edit Pages. There should be one page listed. To the right of the page name choose "Edit" and then press the "Go" button. At the top of the page will be a box -- The third option from the top will be called "Custom Style For This Page". The drop down menu will let you select from several different choices. Make sure that the selection is the very first one that says "Use Default Style" instead of the one that says "Default Style" -- They are two very different things! After making sure that it says "Use Default Style" go to very the bottom of the page and hit the "Save" button.

I finally made it. Yep, i used the default style coz that's the term i've seen from all previous posts. Now the only problem i have is something to do about the images. All images from the styles are broken. The default style images are showing up but not the child. Where do i change the image path?

Thanks again for your help!

Edit today: I guess i figured that out. However two of the styles looked weird.
Here, take a look:
1. Tech2 style (http://www.wowplanet.com/vbindex.php?styleid=18)
Could someone tell me how to fix the gap on the header.

2. Mecka Style (http://www.wowplanet.com/vbindex.php?styleid=20)

The front layout looked really weird. How do i fix this?

stretch the left td over the gap and use a recurring background? you could make a css style for it or use plain html

You either need to edit your CSS classes or your templates and change the URL to the images to the full URL to your fourms.

Thx for all your hints but like as i've already mentioned, I'm not familiar yet with vb templates and i don't want to mess up with it. I hope someone tells me exactly where i should find it. I look at the templates and i can tell you with all honesty that i really don't know where to look at. I feel like a real novice but that's it. I need more input from professional guys.

Admin CP => Style Manager => All Style Options

On that page you should see all of your classes. In at least your tcat and thead class you should see url(images/folder/imagename.gif);. Add the full URL to that image folder there and that should take care of the problem.
