[lordofthesabbath 0]

Ok I want to know, in a very detailed manner, how to install a DL'ed theme or style into my php forums. I have filezilla but i dont know how to use it. Please try to give a thorough walkthrough cuz im new at this. Any help is desperately needed cuz my forums are all jacked up. Thank you~Lord of the Sabbath

Preferably a flash style if theres a difference. Also need 2 know how to add your own logo or picture at the top or preset location.

you just install the filezilla as your main language..then you will log on to the ftp : yourname.trap17.com user : your cpanel user name ps : password then just uploadps:when you changed the php skin you just go to the forum or just read the forum of phpbb of how to add skin or changed it..phpbb has so many skins just enjoyed it you will know how to change it quickly.

ok, i have connectoed to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and i took my BBskin which is the theme and dragged it down to the bottom window and it opened the folder and showed all the contents, but when i go to my forums the style isnt there.i dont know if i did anything wrong. PS i didnt get my forums by using the cpanel, i registered it seperate if that helps.

That sucks, after all that uploading it doesnt show up in my styles in the forums. This is what i did.Used filzilla, went to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and upload my style there. Then i went to the .tk of my site, clicked the forums link went to forums and under the admin controls and the style wasnt there, only the default silver thing.

You have to put the skins in the directory named templates under the directory of the phpbb forum, example:If your website is:http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

Then your forum must be:http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ you must have to insert the skins in this

directory:http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

creates a sub-directory named templates exactly to insert the default template (silver...) and to insert new templates too.I Hope this help you.

1. Download the theme(s) you want from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
2. Use winzip and extract it to your computer somewhere
3. Take that file and put it in your "themes" folder on your FTP space
4. Use the ACP and install it so others can use it
