Strider Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Have a look at the way the default skin is done, and you will see how to do it. Especially look at the layout.tpl file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Make a copy of the crystal skin and rename the folder, and edit the files inside it, and add any tpl files from the core>templates folder and save them to the new skin folder. Put the css file in the skin folder. And any JS files you need in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddlidd Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Edit what files inside? I have a bunch of index.html and so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Take a look in the crystal skin and copy it and rename it to whatever you want, preferrably with no spaces. Look at the layout.tpl, and incorporate what is in there with the template you downloaded. Just import the index.html code into the layout, and put the code that is in the layout.tpl where it was and where you want things to show. It is very easy. Copy the tpl's you want to edit from the core>templates folder and paste them into your skin folder, and edit them the way you want them.

-Nick Tyson- Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ramy, Look at the php inside of the file. There are comments for each that tell you were to put them. As far as adding pictures, that's something you will have to figure out as it is different for each theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
