vBulletin 3.8 Design on XenForo?

[vbdesignonthis]

Hi,

I currently using vBulletin 3.8.x and the layout of the design is perfect in my eyes for a forum. And my users do not want to change to something that looks completely different.

Are there any templates for XenForo that mimic how vBulletin 3.8 looks? Like this

And the bottom of the page has the amount of users online statistics etc.

Are there any templates for this for XenForo? If so I would love to use it and buy XenForo.

Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of.

I doubt you will find much demand here for something which looks 15 years out of date.

You will need to post in the appropriate customer forum/thread for support.

This is the pre-sales forum.

Hm.. but the right panel is still there and not at the bottom, I don't care much about the color scheme as that will all be changed to my custom forum colors but I just want the general vBulletin 3.8 layout...

And why can I not download that theme? Must I be a payed user before I can?

Yes, only license holders can download resources.

It wouldn't be much use to you without a license.

I wanted to test on demo account first

While you can import .xml files on the demo, you can't upload any files (although I'm not sure if there are any with this style or not).

Yeah I just tested the template and it works but this template is simply a reskin of the current layout.. I want the vBullein 3.8 layout... is there any guides or releases anywhere for that?

well I can't wait to get rid of my 3.8, I think users will adapt, change is good the old VB IMO is very played out after all these years

 

[vbdesignonthis]

Guys I done the layout but there's one thing annoying me, the white gap, I want my board to take up all the space.

Please see the red boarders, I want this gap filled by my forum not a white gap... is this possible?

I think that is under Style Properties -> General -> Content: padding right/left

That page has nothing filled in it, I put the "padding right/left" no quotes in CSS form for that page and applied but it did nothing.

The design works fine on PC but on mobile using chrome or whatever the forum doesn't work so well..

 

[Paul B]

Are you using the style from the resource manager?

If so, how did you get a copy of the .xml?

I've made it vBulletin 3 and vBulletin 4 style

 

[zeeni]

is there a vbulletin theme that is compatible with xenforo 2? The one above seems to only be updated to 1.5

 

[Jon12345]

I would love to know if there is a vBulletin 3.8 theme for Xenforo. Hey @Eagle, do you have one uploaded here?

There was several a long time ago for XF 1.x, but most were deleted.

This one remains:

Unmaintained - vB 3.x - Fluid & Fixed

This is a style for XenForo I created mainly for fun and in case some of my users want the option of a classic/legacy forum layout. Features 100% CSS based - no divs added or taken away Single location CSS (EXTRA.css) Tested in all major...

xenforo.com

They will not work on XF 2.x and no one has seemed to express much of an interest.

While the vBulletin 3.x style was very nice for its time, it was designed around 15 years ago. I think that may go some way to explaining why there isn't much desire to port it over to XF 2.x at this point.
