patva1 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Do you absolutely need Dreamweaver to skin phpvms? Quote
Strider Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 No, but it helps. Cheers Dan C Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 12, 2009 Administrators Report Posted February 12, 2009 No, I just use it to mark where the header and footer.tpl files will be; when you add an editable area when you create a dreamweaver template, basically everything above that editable area goes into header.tpl, everything below into footer.tpl Quote
patva1 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Are there any free programs available that would allow me to skin phpVMS? Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 20, 2009 Administrators Report Posted February 20, 2009 I dunno, I do everything by hand. Microsoft's Expression Web Designer is free, you can download that Quote
patva1 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Nabeel, where can I download that at? All I can find is Expression Web 2, which costs money. Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 21, 2009 Administrators Report Posted February 21, 2009 See if you're eligible for Dreamspark: https://www.dreamspark.com/default.aspx This is free: http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/ Expression Web 2 and the above are essentially the same Quote
patva1 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 Now that I have the program, how do I get the files to come up like in the tutorial videos? Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 21, 2009 Administrators Report Posted February 21, 2009 Just open them. I don't use VWD, but you can probably make a project or something. I'm not sure what editor Roger uses. Quote
patva1 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 Ok. I think I misunderstood something. Am I supposed to use the files that are already on my computer to skin, then upload them to the server? Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 21, 2009 Administrators Report Posted February 21, 2009 Yep, watch the skinning tutorial by Roger, also: www.phpvms.net/docs/skinning Quote
patva1 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 Ok. I have watched it, I just couldn't figure out where to find the files. Now I know, I'll post how it turns out soon. Quote
patva1 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 I am watching your tutorial. I have ran into a problem. Whenever I try to create the header and footer.tpl files it just stays as a text document. What am I doing wrong? Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 22, 2009 Administrators Report Posted February 22, 2009 In Explorer, goto the Folder and Layout options, and in the View tab, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" Quote
patva1 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Ok, I have it done, but I have a few questions. First, how can I change the background Colors? Two, how can I create a new "banner" for where the current picture is? Thanks for all of your help. The website is: http://www.patva1.comli.com/phpvms Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted February 22, 2009 Administrators Report Posted February 22, 2009 You'll have to check the stylesheet (that .css file). There tutorials on how to use and manipulate CSS files, sitepoint.com is a good place Quote
