Luca being kind enough to listen to my request, asked me to post this in General Support:

First for those who can help, here are my server settings:

My question is: How many files do I need to alter and call out the file name, etc, of my new colorized template to make it work as a separate template file so my users can switch basically to another template file.

I have 2 Black Pearl "Colorized" templates which I want to make them individual selectable templates for my users. I know I am right on the verge of making this happen, but maybe didn't do the final step somewhere.

What I have done so far is:
1. Upload the colorized files in the mg_themes folder, using of course a different name. i.e, "p_black_green"
2. Added the name to the file mg_themes.cfg. like this:

And in these 2 places:

I also added the filenames to the theme_info.cfg file as follows:

Maybe my mistake is not to alter the font color 2 and three? Or another file needs updating?

Thanks in advance

thx

Well, after much of the day, I finally figured it out.

This one I did just after my topic started:

I edited the image folder addresses in the .css file to the name of the template folder.

Well, that got me really far!!! I had it then!!

OOOPS. Everything was fine until viewing the forums.
The viewforum template file that tells the icons to revert to .png images was missing.

Seems like I had one more file to edit.

If you are making another Pearl style but "colorized", the last step before completing the task is to re-open the mg_themes.cfg and look further down for this:

on the line where MG "smart tables" are, add your template file name EXACTLY how it should be:

I added the 3rd part to the php tag; ($color == 'p_black_green') , which is the name of my template.

That's it. It works perfectly now.

I'm glad you worked it out, but you also need to add the header and the footer in the same syntax to xs.cfg particularly if you have re-named the style - and the overall_*.tpl's etc.

Off-Topic:

Now you need to sort out youtube ?

Thanks for the help. Can you "spoil" me an example of where to edit? I'm sure when I have time, I'll figure it out, if your too busy.

On You tube; I am going to tinker with that today to see if I can get it working. The only other problem is not with bbcode in general, but with bbcode images. I just get the "no image" icon after the IP 1.2.0.27 update.

Open: /your theme/xs.cfg (The same place you have the overall_*.tpl files) and add the following.
You'll see where to add it as soon as you open the file.

Code: [Hide] [Select]
$replace['overall_header_p_black_green.tpl'] = 'lofi/' . $lofi_bots_path . 'lofi_' . $lofi_bots_suffix . 'header.tpl';
$replace['overall_footer_p_black_green.tpl'] = 'lofi/' . $lofi_bots_path . 'lofi_' . $lofi_bots_suffix . 'footer.tpl';


Start your youtube Q in another thread.

Thanks a million. I am going to fix that straight away.

Oh, the You Tube embed works great with the newest IP!!!!

Still having issues with the "no image" icon with BBcodes, and have posted a new request for help about it.

Thanks again.....
