Well to maybe cut back on some already answerd posts I made this threa,. Please know i'm not trying to act like I know everything caouse I dont just trying to be helpful. (these are basicly n00b questions ) How do I access certain templates? In your admin center, go all the way to the buttom of the left frame to find "templates" catagory. Click modify. Then on the style you wish to add the template mod to, select "show all" from the links beside it. Then run your browser's search feature to find the name of the template you want to edit. What templates do what? Here are the most commonly edited templates: postbit - this is the template for viewing user's posts forumdisplay - this is what peoplse see when they look at a forum on your board forumdisplaybit - the html for the acual topic listing forumhome - what people see when they visit your forums main page header - the header of all your pages headerinclude - basicly everything above the <body> tag, like css memberlist - the layout for the member list memberlistbit - the acual member listings table template navbar - the main code for the navbar nav_joiner - the character that seperares each page on the navbar, it is > by default. When I click preview when editing a template the colors are messy and the layout is wrong This is becaouse it is acually using colors where you typed replacements, for examole when you type color="{catagoryfontcolor}" it acually types in the replacement in the html. It also takes variables literally well that's all I can think of...if anyone thinks of any others feel free to post them |
