chris2 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 Hi How do we make one? Or do i need one? thanks chris Quote
Strider Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Look in the crystal skin folder, that is where the layout.tpl file is. Quote
chris2 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks but what i need to know is how to make one. I hvave read through the docs but found it quite confusing. thanks chris Quote
Strider Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Why do you need to make one? Your question is not very clear. Have a look at the layout.tpl and see how it is made. Quote
chris2 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 What i would like to do is make a skin from scratch. All of the ones on the forum all look the same. and i would like to lurn how to do it. I have read the docs but they dont explane it very well. Quote
Strider Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Then you don't need to create a new layout.tpl, just use the one in the crystal skin. All the layout tpl does is have the header, a place holder for the main part of the site, and the footer. You edit the other templates to get them to look the same. You don't create a new layout.tpl file everytime you design a new skin. Quote
chris2 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 ok right. another thing how does the layout.tlp know were the skin file is? Quote
chris2 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Ah right yep sorted Thanks for your halp Quote
