Style Help..

Yep. This is really my first time "Modding." 😀

 

[Comkid]

Technically your not MODding, are you making/writing code to work with your forum?

Anyway did you upload the files required? After that, go to the link Nathan said, but replace with your board URL 😉

Here is a linkie for how to do this stuff 😉

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>

Hi There

I can't seem to get this to work! I find it easy to find the code and replace it, but nothing happens! If i open the original file in Dreamweaver, it says there is an error! You also cant edit the file within the admin in the forum, because there is an error in the file! Don't know what to do!
Thanks

Why would you even use Dreamweaver to edit it? Dreamweaver might be easier but it's not always the best option.

Just open it in whatever editing program you use and then edit it via that and re-upload it to your server..

I didn’t use Dreamweaver to edit the file I used notepad. But after editing the file, uploading it and nothing happened. I tried to open the file on Dreamweaver to see if there was anything wrong with the code, as it will tell you if there is. The reason for why I tried that, is because you can also edit the overall_header.html and all the other files within the the ACP, except overall_header.html. All the other files you can edit fine, but overall_header.html just gives you an error. That’s why I tried to open it in Dreamweaver.

So you did try to use dreamweaver.

Anyways make the edits, upoad them to your server, then purge the cache.

After editing .html files you are required to purge the boards cache/refresh the template for the edits to work, unless you have the cache styles option enabled, which i doubt you have.

I also suggest notepad++ for editing.

Thanks mate

I guess it was just the purge the cache I needed to do! Never heard of that, so thank you! I really appreciate your help!

Have a nice weekend.

 

[Nathan]

Thanks mate, and no problem, the purging your cache is extremely annoying, but it fixes the issues 🙂

 

[svrp]

As you probably know I’m new to all this 😉 But why is purging cache annoying? It’s doesn’t delete all your posts, does it?

 

[Nathan]

No, no, it's just unless you've got the recompile stale style components option enabled, you have to purge it all the time, which means when you get good at it, it requires purging the cache each time you edit a simple .html file, so you've gotta log into the ACP, hit the button, confirm etc. it just gets annoying 😛

 

[svrp]

Haha, that’s true 🙂 Once again thanks for the reply!
