    Tutorial How to use the templates?

    Post by Shadow November 3rd 2009, 9:53 am

    How to use the templates?


    Through the modifications of your forum templates, you can modify the structure of your forum, create extra effects, or add things that couldn't be done without these modifications. This list is obviously not exhaustive, but modifying the templates gives you so many possibilities - you are only held back by your imagination.

    How to use the templates? LogoCareful!
    Modifying the templates requires a basic knowledge of HTML and template editing.
    Moreover, you must be the founder to modify the templates.

        Where do I edit the Templates?

    Admin Panel> Display>How to use the templates? Type_li Templates

    The templates are subdivided in 8 sections :

        Modifying a template

    Before you edit a template, stop and think about easier methods of achieving the same effect: CSS, Javascript etc...

    To modify a template, click on How to use the templates? Editer.

    Once edited and saved, you can see :
    template_name
    Description
    default Value
    Waiting How to use the templates? New_window_black
    How to use the templates? AjouterHow to use the templates? Editer How to use the templates? Supprimer

    Click on How to use the templates? New_window_blackto check what your modifications will look like.

    Click on How to use the templates? Ajouterto publish the template.
    In this case, this template will now be visible like :
    template_name
    Description
    Default Value
    Published
     How to use the templates? Editer  How to use the templates? Supprimer

    Click on How to use the templates? Supprimerto delete your modifications and to restore the default settings. You should now see this:
    template_name
    Description
    Default Value
    ..........
     How to use the templates? Editer

    If you went wrong and want to start again, click on "Default Value" to start again with the default settings

    Note :
    The four versions of PhpBB2, PhpBB3, Invision, and PunBB templates are completely independent and don't interact between them.  If you have personalized your templates on a version and want to change it to another, you'll get the default templates of this other version and you'll be free to modify them. If finally you want to come back to the first version, you'll get back your personalized templates you left.

    Hi,

    is anyone interested to help me because I am not so skill in html and CSS coding?

    I want to modify the Recent Topics template. It currently appears by the following way on my forum:

    Recent Topics
    »
    Topic name

    »
    Link to another topic

    And now I want to put, under the topic's name, the date it was posted and the topic poster, for example:

    Recent Topics
    »
    Forum Rules
    Posted by
    Admin
    (here will be the link to the profile of the member Admin)
    on 27/11/2009 21:46

    Is it possible to modify? You can see how does that widget looks like by visiting my forum at
    http://superforum-apatin.bigforumpro.com

    P.S. Excuse me for my English! Smile
