Question

[Mojo Toner]

I know this may seem like a strange question to most people, but can I ask for what reason you use php boards? This isn't meant as an insult or anything but I just wondered why.

[EG]

we dont use php

we use SMF

I see you use Invision.  If I were you Id consider moving to SMF.  It has similar ideas, but because you can edit the script yourself, its MUCH more flexible

[Mojo Toner]

I presume SMF is written in php thou. I can edit most of Invision thanx 2 my knowledge of coding. btw, do u have a link to a SMF site?

[EG]

I didnt write the basic code for the forum SMF did.  But its free opensource code, and very adapatable.  Personally I think php a great medium to work with

and yeah. the link to SMF is at the bottom of every page on the forum

[Mojo Toner]

Right i got my SMF forum up and running, thou i'm wondering wht program u used to make the skins

[EG]

dont use a program at all

I just edit the files.  Start by editing the style.css

tho dont overwrite the default style, because if you get it wrong it will always be able to bring that back up

(and check out their community forum!  its very useful!)

(p.s how old are you ?)

[Mojo Toner]

I'm on a fee host so i can't edit the files. Fortunately if its in CSS its gunna b as easy as pie.

I'm 16

[EG]

why cant you?

how do you get the files on the host?

[EG]

editing the css is just the start, for basic changes.

and to create a new theme you need to create a new directory for a new theme.

how do you get the files on the host?

I gotta ask them 2 upload it 4 me

[EG]

you cant be serious ?

so if you wanted to put an image on your website, youd have to ask them to upload it ?

LOL no. its onli wiv skins i need 2 ask

[EG]

you dont!

theyre only files, just like an image is a file

its not a change to a database,. or the creation of a database

theyre php files, like images are jpg files.... you just ftp or use the client software to upload them

[Mojo Toner]

perhaps i'm looking in the wrong part of the forum admin centre then. Could u tell me how 2 get to the edit skins section plz? in detail.

[EG]

not on here no

You can catch me on MSN as I IMed you...

I think you need to get to grips with the admin panel first.... before you start to make major changes
