When I try and make a new style my images won't show up on the front page (cmps page)

[GamingVidz.com]

I read the faq already and stuff and can't seem to get it to work. If I keep my old style then it works, but as soon as I set my new style to be default, all of the images on the cmps page are broken, but the forum page is right.

I don't know how to fix this, I tried reuploading stuff over other stuff a lot to no avail.

Any ideas? I can't seem to get it working right.

I read that lol, but I don't think I get it. Like how do I do the second option?

run your install file again and select image path option from there and sort out the image paths.

That only gives me the options for the icons though. Which isn't my current problem.

Admin CP => Style Manager => {select style} => All Style Options

Go there and make sure you have the full URL entered for each option listed under the Image Paths section.

Ok, that works for the first few that look like this:

PHP Code:

       <td width="287" height="159" align="left" valign="top"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_top_ls.jpg" width="287" height="159" alt="" /></td> 


but what about when they look like this?:

PHP Code:

<td width="100%" height="159" align="left" valign="top" style="background-image: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_top_x.jpg"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_top_x.jpg" width="100%" height="159" alt="" /></td> 


Then I don't know how to fix that.

Could it be since I currently have two folders right now, one that is named ambience (my current style) and I named the second one ambiences, so that I could have two folders? If I just simply changed their names would my other style then work?

For the second instance, where it's using $stylevar, make sure that you're variables in the Image Paths section are also fully defined (ACP --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> {your style} --> {"Image Paths" in the second block of options from the top}).

I'm not quite sure I understood you there. Do you think if I just changed the folder name it could fix all the crap? Heh, I jsut want to implement this new style as well as a liquid one without having to have any down time cause my site gets screwed up.

So are you saying like for manual editing of code or is it something much easier that I'm missing?

Whenever you see something like "$stylevar" that "$" is indicating that the name is a variable so by changing the paths in the "Image Paths" section the variable is then updated which means you don't have to change anything else.

If you see something like "style="background-image: url(my/images/folder/header_top_x.jpg" then the "my/images/folder" would need to be changed directly.

I think I see some spots where I could fix some of them by just linking directly to where it's located, but for the background image thing, I still don't understand. Like how can I fix it? What you said earlier prompted me to figuring out a few other things, but the part about the stylevar and the background image threw me off. Which "Image Paths" section, is that within vbulletin cmps control panel or the forum control panel. Sorry, I'm new heh.

Ok, thanks a bunch, I think I figured it out
