Leiserson Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 hey nabeel,I am a very proficient at php,javascript and a little AJAX...But Im still confused about skinning. Do I create an Html document and just used the static modules that display each element of the system into the HTML page...? Can I customize the size of the modules to fit where I need them...?

Administrators Nabeel Posted August 13, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Read this:http://www.phpvms.net/docs/skinning#creating_skinsBasically you create your header and footer (I just design something and then copy from the top of the fil uptil everything that content should go into ad my header.tpl, the rest into footer.tpl), then your basic design should work. Remember to keep the elements listed in the doc in the appropriate places.The navigation is done automatically if you include the Template::Show('core_navigation.tpl'), but you can also do it manually. Check out the Cerulean Airlines site, http://www.ceruleanairlines.comI'll create a doc with all of the links to get to different pages.As for modifying templates, copy the one you want to modify from /core/templates into the folder of your skin (that way it won't get overriden in an update, and it stays with your skin).Hope that helps! Let me know if you need more clarification. Read through the docs as well, it'll help give a general overview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
