If you look into parabola wrapper.html , that holds the important changes.
Specific the head section is to be updated and the footer javascript bits ( the stuff at the very bottom ). Plus the new file user_cp_start.html from parabola.

Parabola also had a few changes to css here and there, but it does not mean this skin has to get them, with a bit of css knowledge you could fix it up easy ( if you notice any )

Hi, can anyone tell me how to edit the newest members down the left, I need to add to make it show the members banners rather than a screen shot.

Cheers

you need to modify the newest members plugin for that.

plugins/NewestMembers/skin_global.php

find
SELECT username,url,title,category

change to
SELECT username,url,title,category,banner_url



find
$TMPL['newest_members_title'] = $row['title'];

change to
$TMPL['newest_members_title'] = $row['title'];
$TMPL['newest_members_banner'] = $row['banner_url'];


then open plugins/NewestMembers/new_members_side_list_row.html

replace
{$screenshot}

with
<img src="{$newest_members_banner}" alt="{$title}">

untested and I am sure you will want to customize further... but that should get you started.

Hello,

I am getting the following PHP errors during user login when using the Dark Elegant Green skin:

Note: xxxxxxxx replaces the actual path to my install.

Warning: fopen(./skins/Dark Elegant Green/user_cp_start.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /xxxxxxxx/sources/misc/skin.php on line 49

Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /xxxxxxxx/sources/misc/skin.php on line 51

Overall the skin is great. Good work Basti.

Thanks in advance.

This skin is not up to date and doesn't work with the latest versions.

copy user_cp_start.html template from parabola to /skins/Dark Elegant Green/

and that will get you past this error.

Of course I didn't check about the skin before I upgraded to 1.0/1.3. (just now lol) I had this skin almost perfect in my eyes, I would love to get it running while I work on something new with the new templates. I have most of it working but am stuck on a few things. When I remove the categories from the left hand colum, the newest members and main menu collide. I had to remove the main menu altogether at this point in order to get it displayed correctly. The second problem, shown in the same image, are the stats. Before they were tabbed, now the tabbing doesn't work.


The third problem is the pagination.


Any suggestions?

1. Problem looks like you have deleted some extra html code
2. im not so sure about it
3. VL changed pagination classes, you need to check your .css file or replace your own class

This theme is old and it's not updated, so some tags might be missing, if everything works fine then its ok :)

looks like you have a float left that needs cleared

here is a hackish workaround:

Code: 
<h2 style="clear:left">
  Categories
</h2>
you might find a nicer way to accomplish the same thing

Everything is almost fine for me now with this theme after doing some changes
but there is only 1 problem now
as you can see #1 and # and #3 have banners defined already but the other sites don't have banners
i have set the default banner to this http://gamespro100.com/images/nobanner.png
but
it is not showing
"Default banner for members who do not supply one"

the url of my site is http://gamespro100.com
Click to expand...
I believe the issue is the setting was empty when those members joined, you would need to run a mySQL query to populate all empty banner_url fields with http://gamespro100.com/images/nobanner.png
