I HAVE JUST UPLOADED ANOTHER SKIN AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. cAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG

I don't think that you have the folder placed correctly, did you mistakenly add a folder within a folder when you unzipped the files? Like ->

/lib/skins/newskin/newskin/files

HI SIM . NO IT IS IN WITH MY CRYSTAL SKIN WHICH WORKS FINE . I UNZIPPED THEM INTO A FOLDER IN MY DOCS THEN UPLOADED USING FTP ON CPANEL

u are not placing ur files propartly

[simpilot]

When I try to go directly to the folder through a url it tells me it does not exist, when i try to go to your crystal folder it denies access so I know it is there. Where exactly are you placing the skin folder? Your file tree should look something like

/lib
  /skins
     /crystal
     /brillancev1

[VAEA]

Hi Sim, Yes sorry i had called the folder brill. i have renamed the folder now to the proper name but its still not working . you will find it now if you go through a url. I do appreciate you trying to help me because i am totally confused

[James142]

Could you take a screenshot of what you have in your skins and brilliancev1 folders?

[simpilot]

I just went to it and it is still showing as a dead link. I think you have done one of two things;

uploaded the new skin inside of the existing crystal skin and not beside it, or

you have a folder within a folder from unzipping it. (A brilliancev1 folder within the brilliancev1 folder)

Without some screenshots of your file tree or ftp access I do not have much more insight.

[VAEA]

hi sim will i pm you my cpanel login

[VAEA]

hope this works it should be screen shots

You're missing the layout.html file

[VAEA]

Hi jeff thats all the files i got in the download. Does anyone know where i could get the missing file??? thanks

[simpilot]

By the screenshot you have everything you need, the layout.tpl file basically is a index.html file for the skin. Hard to tell what is going on? I think you mentioned that the crystal skin works properly on a fresh install, right?

[VAEA]

all sorted .............thanks to everyone who helped........it was a spelling errror and simpilot found it

[Tom Kellock]

I'm having the same problem, what was the spelling mistake? Don't you need to tell one of the core files to point it to the brilliance skin?

[VAEA]

the spelling mistake was the name of the skin in my lib/skins folder. i had brillance instead of brilliance
