Quick phpbb Mod Question

[tunescool]

i tried to install my first phpbb mod, mini profile to left. i found everything and added everything just fine, but what is with modding the styles. i went to open the files and only got this, nothing like the content the mod had in it.

You need to open it in an FTP/text editor.

Looks like your missing a language file or files, or a conflict has occurred in one or more of the language files, so check if any language files you've edited. As for the style being blank, check any edits you made to the style files and make sure you've done them correctly, you may also want to try purging the cache.

i did open them in notepad but it still was the same as the html picture i posted. i just reuploaded those files from the phpbb download, i havent done anything to them. well anyway im reuploading all the original files again now, i didnt save properly. do you normally have to edit the style files? what if you install another template. does anything need to be editted then and which ones. the original prosilver or the new template you have installed

You could edit the styles from the admin panel.

All MODs are based on the prosilver style, if your theme is not prosilver based or has it's own template file you will need to manually edit that template.

It's quite easy to do style edits, you just have to be methodical.

The pic you've shown looks like there are style edits missing, you need to open the install.xml file for the mod, preview it in your browser and go through it looking for style edits, apply these edits to the style you are using.

I cannot see from that which file needs to be edited, are you getting that when you use the default prosilver style ?

thats just the file from phpbb not a mod. i just installed it, its the default
