Title: Questions about Templates
Post by: bobw on June 30, 2008, 07:43:57 am
I have been reading nearly every post regarding modifying templates and it it seems there are some universal issues. One is that the gallery links are either text or button links in the smf menu. The second issue is that it is not clear to me which files should be modified for the gallery to work properly in a given template. If I understand correctly, the mod only changes files in the default template. The files changed are index.php and board.index.php as well as files in the language/english directory. Now here is the delemma, some templates don't have a language/english directory. What do you in that case? Also, some templates don't have a utf-8 file.

It would be helpful to know if any of the actual forum .php files need to change and exactly what files are populated where by the mod and exactly what files are written to by the mod in case those files need to be cleaned up in the event of another install attempt. Even using the parser, I am too dense to understand if the changes need to be made to the default template, the forum itself or the particular template I want to use.

Please help.
