yup - i started my forum and screwed it up!
i have been editing it and adding the forums and changing the settngs etc..
all was ok
but!
i decided to have a go at re designing the colours etc!
not a good idea, especially when i didnt make a copy of the files before i did this
so i downloaded another theme for MyBB and want to know how i add it to my forum?
any help is greatful
thanks!

hey

Admin CP > Themes > Import

check ignore version compatibilty.

make sure later to set it as default
Admin CP > Themes > Modify / Delete 

from the drop-down meny , select set as default

regards

ok, where do i upload the theme to the server though

no you browse it from your computer

the theme manager will do the rest

regards

ok, i have tried this and i just get a box saying "title" and another saying "template" and a menu "templalte set" and 2 radio buttons with options "yes" or "no"
how do i brouse for the theme?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok, i have found out how to add the theme, but when i cearched for the file on my PC {through admin CP} it said upload failed - maybe because i clicked the wring file?
would it be easier for me to add you on MSN?
thanks for your help so far

heloo there

• make sure you are selecting the XML file.
  
• what version of mybb are u using?
  
• What version of OS are you running?
  
• What version of PHP/MySQL are you running?

im using the newest : 1.04

i can only find a ".mybb" file
and the image files

umm i'm afraid mybb final doesn't support files else than .XML (not sure)
you can read my tutorial, about making a theme.
i'm sure it will help you.

i'm helping him out now

thanks Lordy 16!
i have found a theme that works and uploaded it, where do i upload the images too though ?

well in case you dont wanna use the old theme anymore, replace the ./images

else u will have to make a new directory
then in the theme manager while editing the theme, specify the new images directory.

regards

ok, it is done - thanks!
only 1 small problem...
i dont have the control panel access
wher eyou click to "login" or register or veiw PM's
ETC
it isnt visible

http://www.djnation.teaspoondiner.net/index.php

go there to se what i mean

ok you mean the welcome panel .

i'm afraid the new theme had a template set with it that removed the welcome block.
or it was removed by mistake.

go to Admin CP > Templates > Modify / Delete > Expand [the new theme templates or the default ]> header

revert it to original.

that will remove the customzation of the top links.

in case u wanna save them.

find in that template $welcomeblock

if it's not there

add it below

code:

---

<div id="panel">

---

ok, is it possable to change this colour?
as id like to keep the black background

yes ofcourse, in the theme manager , edit ur theme, find the welcome panel's Css codes table. set the font and link color to the color u want.

regards

thanks..now there is 1 mre problem
the links to vaigate around the forum once you have moved parttly through it, these are at the top
example:
DJ NATION/General/General chit chat/welcome

when you are at the DJ NATION page then that link is "invisible"
when you go to Gerneral it becomes visible but General is invisible
then when you go to GCC General comes visible but GCC isnt visible.
the text is there as you can highlight it and it shows up.
the URL is above if you need to test what i mean.
thanks!

SOLVED
i just had to change the font colour of the "active breadcrumb" {weird name}
thanks for your help!

i cant see them in the folder that i downloaded for my theme.
maybe the theme doesnt have them ?
i am using the "Bright gray theme" downloaded from the MyBB site.

i would also like to know how to change the peice at the top, it shows as blue and not black
and...
how can i add a shoutbox?

so use the images came originally with mybb put them in the images folder you are using!!

what do u mean piece at the top? screen shot

for the screenshot, find the mod here mods.mybboard.com

finnally i suggest that u joing the mybb commnity ! we talk day and night about mybb so u can find more resources and read more threads and tutorials

regards

if you go here: www.djnation.teaspoondiner.net then at the top it will show you the calebder ETC and i want to make them black and not blue.
i will sign up for them forums now
thanks for all of you rhelp and im sure il see you around on both of these 2 forums

well for that one!!

u have to edit the CSS code of the topmost class
change the background color

you may find it in the Additional CSS attributes , at the bottom of the theme manager.
i guess it's in the master theme, if it wasn't there, then it is in the new theme.
