Subsilver template config file

Doing so can save you a lot of headaches later, as many have learned first hand. You will be reminded of these procedures at several later points in the book. Try to follow them before manually editing any files, even if you are not reminded. This cannot be stressed enough, because these procedures can save you a lot of time when dealing with problems. Before editing any file, the most important thing you should do is create a backup of that file.

This simply means creating a copy of the file in its current condition. If you encounter problems due to your editing later, you can replace the edited file with the backup.

That will effectively revert your forum to the pre-edited state of the file. At some point in your phpBB experience, you will definitely need to use a backup of a file. Everyone makes mistakes at some point, and it is nothing to be ashamed about. At other times, things simply do not work. Regardless of the cause, very few mistakes can be permanently fatal to a phpBB forum if you make backups before doing anything. When you do edit a phpBB file, it is important to use the correct type of program.

Graphics are standard image files you would see on any website and should be edited in programs such as Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, or any other program capable of handling them. The text files, however, are special. Making a mistake in a graphic file will not damage your forum, but making one in a display code file or program code can easily cripple your forum. Microsoft Notepad, perhaps the most commonly used text editor of the Microsoft Windows operating system, cannot understand the Unix format fully.

It displays all the contents of a Unix text file on one long line, so Notepad is not the best choice for phpBB administrators.

WordPad editor, also included with Microsoft Windows, is able to read Unix files without any problems. Most dedicated phpBB coders use more advanced text-editing programs with special features related to the PHP programming language.

You should, however, not need anything more complex than WordPad for the examples here. The display code files are the. Like the program code files, these are plain text files saved in a Unix text file format. WordPad will again be our choice for editing these files for the examples in this chapter. Those programs tend to cause as many problems as they solve, so you may want to avoid them for now unless you are very familiar with the program you choose. Finally, there is one more note about editing both program and display code files.

When saving these files, you need to make certain to save them in the proper file format. These are supposed to be plain text files, so you must save them as that. WordPad should automatically save the file correctly. If you must select Save As , make certain to choose Text Document in the Saves as type selection list. Microsoft WordPad may be able to read Unix file formats, but it does not save files in that format.

Instead, it saves files in a personal computer PC format. One of the easiest ways to customize the appearance of your forum is to download and install a new phpBB style. Hundreds of different styles have been created based on topics like color schemes, popular movies, television shows, hobbies, sports, etc. The majority of these styles are free to download and use, although there are also some commercial styles and style designers available. Some websites that offer style downloads also provide demonstration forums in which you can preview any of the styles without downloading anything.

Two of the best websites for downloading phpBB styles are:. Re: n Could not get the style configuration file for: subsilver2 Post by david63 » Sun Mar 01, pm subsilver2 is not compatible with phpBB 3. David Remember: You only know what you know and - you don't know what you don't know!
