Creating a style....

[Bullseye]

Still not working, but I did try it in wordpad again, what is the name of that software on the link you posted, there are several on there.......

[Inner Circle]

Notepad++ is the tool he meant

[Bullseye]

I've just tried it with notepad ++ still having none of it! is there some sort of video tutorial?

[cisco007]

video tutorial for what? to create styles? there isn't any video for that, this is something you have to learn by trial and error! I am sure if you search around in phpbb.com there might be some hints on how to clone a style!

Hey like cisc007 said keep trying this works or i wouldnt of posted the edits.I could always make the style complete it post it as style to download, no point its not the way of learning , plug and play so to speak.
Zip the files and let me see the edits.

Here you go Steve and again sorry to be a pain

Edits are fine mate. maybes out of line ,usually coz of copy and paste from code box.But there ok your either missing the images in the theme/images folder or you have not refreshed the template and theme in admin ,and your web browser ............. but you say you have so i cant see whats wrong. PRESS THE REFRESH AND THEME BUTTON IN ADMIN AGAIN AND PURGE THE CACHE .plz

[Bullseye]

I installed a fresh copy oh phpbb and replaced the normal phpbb prosilver style with the one you helped me create (blue borders ect..)

I have the images in the appropriate folder, I have refreshed the themes and templates, I have also purged the cache, I go to see if it has worked and the all I see is the normal phpbb style and I can only get the one with blue borders up if I click preview and the corners are still square..........

Should I try giving it a new name, if so how would I do it?

[Steve]

make sure the style is active set as default in board settings

yes well if you want to make a style its always good to change the default prosilver name and .cfg files
open these files,

your_style/imageset/imageset.cfg
your_style/template/template.cfg
your_style/theme/theme.cfg
your_style/style.cfg

find in them files:

Code: Select all

name = prosilver

Replace with:

Code: Select all

name = bull_dog

*TIP
When making a new styles folder dont leave any spaces for eg: bull dog use bull_dog.
