Style Help..

[PbE]

On this style: http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/1thank_green
Insted of saying "Search" It says some launguage.. Look to the far right to see it. 😛
Anyway I can change it?

 

[PbE]

And, How do I install "Mods" on different Styles?
Or this style?

To fix that random language - Log into your ACP > Styles > Template > Edit (next to that style's name)

Open overall_header.html

Find:

<li class="icon-search">[link code is here]</li>

Delete the link code and replace with:

<li class="icon-search"><a href="{U_SEARCH}" >Search</a></li>

Submit

To install a modification, download the mod files, and open install.xml (using Internet Explorer) then follow the directions. You'll need an FTP client (and FTP Access) plus a text-editor such as PSPad (free)

OK, I can't find:

<li class="icon-search">[link code is here]</li>

And, I mean like, the style that I have doesn't have the files that the MOD requires...

As long as you're using your own hosting, you are able to edit your style files via ACP, however, if you're using a Free Host, you probably are not able to do so.

OK, I found this:

<li class="icon-search"><a href="../search.php" title="Szukajka">Wyszukiwarka</a></li>

What do I do now?

OK, I found this:

<li class="icon-search"><a href="../search.php" title="Szukajka">Wyszukiwarka</a></li>

What do I do now?

Replace that line of code with:

<li class="icon-search"><a href="{U_SEARCH}" title="{L_SEARCH}">{L_SEARCH}</a></li>

 

[PbE]

Ok, thanks. That worked. 😀

Now, how do I install MODs on that style? Or, other styles?

TO INSTALL A MODIFICATION ON YOUR FORUM:

1. Download the Modification (usually in a .zip)
2. Unzip the files to your computer
3. Download and Install an FTP Client [here are a couple examples]
-Filezilla (Windows)
-Cyberduck (Mac)
4. Log into your Website Host Control Panel
5. Go to FTP Accounts (or something mentioning FTP in the name)
6. Get your FTP Username and Password
7. Open your FTP Client and put in your FTP Username and Password
8. Your "Host" is usually your domain name (www.yoursite.com) - DO NOT include the http://

9. Open the install.xml file which came with the downloaded Modification files
10. Follow the instructions.

[PbE]

Yeahh, I know that. But, a few Styles that I want, don't come with the files that the MOD requires..

 

[Nexus]

Modifications are generally targeted towards 2 different styles "Prosilver' and 'Subsilver2' which you've probably noticed. This does not mean you can only install that mod on those styles. Personally, I always use the prosilver versions, but see which style most looks like your forum template now.

Does your site look more like a subsilver or prosilver? Once you figure that out, just follow the directions.

-Rich

 

[PbE]

Well, I'm using that style that I posted above. And its Prosilver.

But, It doesn't include the files that need to be edited..

 

[PbE]

Alright, nevermind I got it. But, it says

After perform file editing you must run db_install.php.

What do they mean by that?

 

[Nathan]

It means you have to run the file manually, navigate to http://www.yoursite.com/db_install.php and follow whatever it says (if it says anything) and you should be good to go.

 

[PbE]

Tried that, didn't work. 😛

 

[Zenrer]

Man, not being mean or anything, but how do you expect to run a forum if you cant even perform simple tasks on the software?

 

[Nathan]

We all have to learn somewhere The Pimped Papaya :great:

 

[Zenrer]

But he should learn by reading the tutorials and such, but come on, at least it gives you instructions on how to do Modding, and installing themes is as easy as putting files in a folder, and activating it

Lay off him, everyone learns at their own pace.

I remember being in PbE's shoes (learning the intricacies of phpBB) which is why I devote most of my time to assisting others with phpBB.
