How To Install A Style, Theme, Template

Worker Joined: Jul 20, 2008 Posts: 126 Location: Germany

I have RavenNuke 2.20.01 installed and now I want to install a style.

Style: http://phpthemes.net/ThemeXNeon.html

How can I do this? I have used the search feature here but didn't find a topic where the installing of styles is explained.

Do I have to install another style for the forum (phpBB2) which is included in my RavenNuke?

It sounds like you are talking about a theme rather than a style. If so, you need more than the html file you have listed. You need a theme.php file and any associated files. If you have those you can copy them to your:

/nukeroot/themes

directory. Then in a test users account go into Your Account and select that theme. The theme selection routine looks thru the themes directory and lists any it finds. Then test the them.

If the theme has a corresponding forum directory you can copy that too. The system will automatically use it for forums if it exists and if you are using that theme.

You might want to test functionality pretty thoroughly on the test user. Also run it thru the w3c validator to make sure it is compliant.

Thanks fkelly.

I got it to work. It was quite easy, you just need to make sure the folders and the files of the theme are in the right path.

The "index.html" and the "theme.php" file must be in the main folder "/themes/YOURSTYLE". Some themes include the forum theme too. If not you need to find a seperate theme for your forum.

Glad it worked jerichol. Usually you can just copy the theme directory structure whole without worrying about paths. You don't NEED to find a separate theme for your forum though. If there is no forum directory inside your theme the forums will use the standard subsilver forum template instead.
