IF u cant add mods to it. Skins, check out IFSZ. (invisionfree skinzone)

 

Hey everyone. why is the sky blue?

 

come on anybody? please?

 

Its NOT possible. You cant add mods to Invisionfree, because you dont have any FTP access.

 

on IPB 1.3.1, how do i load a skin? I have all the files, but the macros and html stuff screws my mind.

where do you upload the skin to? I think its in 'skin' or 'style', cant remember which..

I used IPB 2.0 about 4 months ago ago, added a skin, and cant remember how to do it... of course I had .:[R]:. helping me..
but hes not on now, so I'll turn to you..

nevermind, .:[R]:. did it for me..

 

IPB1.2 is out now, YEAH!!

 

you can get 1.3 pretty easily too, just google it..

 

Upload it in archive_in.

 

Sorry to bring this to your attention, BFTP, Nice list, but #2 IS illegal.

thanks korupt, but its already fixed..

 

I need some help eh! I have a nice skin, all uploaded and pretty. One problem though, the buttons are GERMAN. Sure enough we can work with it. I do have an english button folder though, that came with the skin. How can I upload that without having to install each button manually then reinstalling the skin?

 

let's see if i can remember this right.

upload your english buttons in the same directory as your german ones.

go to ftp or cpanel and go to www/forumfolder/skin/s1(or whatever one your current theme is on) click on skin_global.php and find where the buttons are located, about 3/4 of the page... just change the button name for each button.

should look like this:

Code:

 <td align="right">
 [url="'{$ibforums->vars['home_url']}'>[img]{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/atb_home.gif[/img]</a><a"]base_url}act=Search&amp;f={$ibforums->input['f']}'>[img]{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/atb_search.gif[/img][/url][url="'{$ibforums->base_url}act=Members'>[img]{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/atb_members.gif[/img]</a><a"]base_url}act=calendar'>[img]{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/atb_calendar.gif[/img][/url][url="'{$ibforums->base_url}act=Arcade'>[img]{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/atb_arcade.gif[/img]</a><a"]base_url}act=store'>[img]{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/atb_store.gif[/img][/url]<a href='{$ibforums->base_url}act=Help'>[img]{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/atb_help.gif[/img]</a>
   
   
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
<div id='logostrip'>
  [url="'{$ibforums->base_url}'"]<img src='{$ibforums->vars['img_url']}/logo4.gif' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" />[/url]
</div>
EOF;
}

 

Thanks Guys! all I had to do was upload it in my cpanel and overwrite the old ones .

 

yea, that would work too... only if the files were called the same name.

Question: In IPB 1.3.1, where do you go to edit your smilies in the ACP? I'm so used to 2.0, it flips my head when I went back to 1.3...

 

Ok i got the reputation mod they use here on GR... but it only displays the persons reputation! it doesnt have the + or - ... anyone know how to fix that!
