Getting Skins from phpBB3 Styles.net

Is it possible to use a style from phpbb3 Styles.net?

It is possible to download the templates and use them however at that stage you assume responsibility for any issues with the theme

AKA the removal of the footer links which revert back to forumotion which is currently against the terms of service you already agreed to.

Once you have downloaded a phpBB3 template

1. Navigate to:

Admin panel\Display\Skins Management

2. Under the "Import it" section select "Browse"

3. Select the ".BBtheme" that you have saved and then press "Import"

4. In most cases this will only upload the actual style of the themes so you may need to add the images etc separately

Okay, thank you. If the theme does remove the footer links is there any way to get them back?

No problem

In that event then you can use the following method to make sure they display

1. Navigate to:

Admin Panel\Display\Colors\CSS Stylesheet

2. Add the following code and press "Submit" to save

Code:

#page-footer {
   clear: both;
   }
#page-footer h3 {
    margin-top: 20px;
    }
#page-footer .linklist strong {
   font-weight: normal;
   }
ul.linklist li {
   list-style-type: none;
   width: auto;
   font-size: 1.1em;
   line-height: 2.2em;
   display: inline;
   }
ul.linklist li a img {
   vertical-align: middle;
   }
ul.linklist li.rightside {
   float: right;
   }
ul.linklist li.footer-home {
   float: left;
   }
p.rightside {
   float: right;
   margin-right: 5px;
   }

Okay, thanks for your help!

Wait, I have one more problem, there is nothing labeled ".BBtheme".

I used that .bbtheme as an example because when you export the themes from forumotion that is the extension it creates automatically so you know its a forumotion theme for the boards

Other templates may come under different extensions depending on how its is stored online and how it was saved

Well, everything is either an HTML or a .cfg. I tried uploading the .cfgs, but whenever I did it said "Import Ended".

I still need help.

I think the site you mentioned, does not have themes in .bbtheme format
You have to manually adapt the skin, by changing the images etc one by one.

Oh, that sounds fun, but if it's the only way to do it, I guess I have to. Thanks for the help.

Placehold... what the hell are you talking about?
themes from phpbbstyles are incompatible with forumotions installation process. In order to have a theme from phpbbstyles you have to download the files... host all the images and usign your admin panel and colors and images interface you have to manually add all teh images and change the colors.

If you want to install themes the normal way then you need them in .bbtheme format... but only forumotion uses .bbtheme formats so its pretty much impossible to find themes apart from hitskin.

Surprisingly it does work however in the second post i did mention it was only the style and that the images may need uploaded individually and separately

Okay, I followed the How to Add a Theme to Your Board guide and finished Step 5. I'm not sure what happened, but I think something went wrong because my theme is supposed to look like this, but it came out like this. I understand that it won't look exactly the same because of the icons, buttons, ect., but the template should look similar. I don't know if it matters, but you should note that I did all of this in phpBB3.

As I said... most themes are incompatible with forumotions CSS. That is because forumotion has its own css created by its own techies.

But I have good news for you. Acid tech has already been transfered to hitskin. There are also a few copies of it, from what I remember. I tried searching for it, but without luck. Nonetheless I am positive that its there. Take a look again..

wait... here is a copy cat:

now just replace the original images to get acid tech.
