Help - Style not installed - Newbie Alert!

Post by ThePhoenix »

Your Portal Version: 1.0.2 ENG
Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3
MODs installed: Yes
Your knowledge: Beginner
Boardlink: http://phoenixgaminguk.com/portal.php

What have you done before the problem was there?
Nothing

What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
OK Guys, sorry if I seem a bit thick, not been using phpBB much yet. I am a IT Engineer working in the UK and when I decided to redesign my site I was recommended to use phpBB 3 with Board3 as the front end.

OK, I thought, no problem, got it all installed fine, even customized it some, quite easy this is, damn good job by the guys who created it.

Anyhow, the problem is this, I have downloaded 2 new skins/themes from the board3 themes site (acidtech_tiger & black_pearl), I have unpacked them into the correct directory according to the instructions (/root/styles), that's fine. However they won't appear in the styles list in the control panel, OK I thought, opened up the xml instruction file which each theme, found the section for which files to edit, only thing is the files I need to edit are not there. I have the directory's inside but the particular files it says to edit are missing, they are not in the zip archive either. For example inside black_pearl I have folders labelled template & theme, inside template is a folder labelled portal but no files, inside portal is a folder labelled block, a file labelled index.html and a file labelled portal_body.html, inside block is a lot of files. None of these are the ones the instructions refer me to edit.

What am I doing wrong, both myself and my mate have had a look at it, my mate is the one who referred me, however whilst his site works perfect, he set it up that long ago he can't remeber what he did to make it work on his.

Hope this makes sense to any of you, I could really use the help.

i am not totally sure- but could it be that you only downloaded the styles for the portal and that the basic styles are not there. Here is an overview about the content of the black pearl style (sorry for the German output - bu i think you know what it is):

So first get the style installed and then you could add the portal style (folders) as well. And then it should work...

Ah, I see, so it won't show up becuase before I install the portal style I need the matching phpbb3 style ?

In that case do you have a link to the full style for phpBB3 ?

Hi Phoenix

If you download any Style from Board3-styles.de you can see at the end of each site (where you can download the style) the following requirements:
e.g. for Black Pearl:
Board3 Portal 1.0.2 & Black Pearl 1.4.5
This means, that you need to install the Style as first, and after then copy the content from Board3-styles into this Directory.
Then, you can follow the instructions in the *.xml since you have all the files you need ;)

EDIT:
Black Pearl: http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/Black+Pearl
AcidTech Tiger: http://demo.phpbb3styles.net/AcidTech+Tiger

Bingo, thanks for that, I'll get it downloaded and sorted ASAP

Genius :ugeek:


Don't suppose you know how to get my site to deault to portal.php instead of index.php ?

AT the moment if you go to http://phoenixgaminguk.com it goes to index.php, I want it to go to portal.php.
