Hellfire010 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 First of all, I believe this belongs in off topic. I'd help you out but I have no idea, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Agreed, this isn't really PDN related. In the meantime, this exact question was answered only yesterday by forum member Artimus in the "phpBB3 'bugs'" thread sticky'd in the Q&GD. Take a look at the post: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=94473#p94473 Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubrica Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I don't really understand.In the link that was in that post, it takes me to a page that says something about a PHP file, but I can't find a link to actually download it.

barkbark00 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Does PHPBB3 allow you to add custom visual themes? If so, what is required to make them? Quote  Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubrica Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I still don't have much of an idea.Do you click on download PHPBB£? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Yes you do. Click on Download Latest Candidate on the main page (blue coloured box), then on the next screen click Download Unstable Release (under the phpBB3 header, the box is an olive colour), on that next screen chose which format to download in on the right hand side and it should take you to a Sourceforge download page. After all that I have no idea. I'm sure if you're upgrading you should know what to do afterwards for installing etc. @bb00: I have no idea, I've had a look around and I can't see anything like custom themes, although I'm not completely sure about this whole phpBB lark.

drakaan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Does PHPBB3 allow you to add custom visual themes? If so, what is required to make them? Yes, and so does phpBB2. The issue is whether the company hosting phpBB allows custom themes to be uploaded. If you're hosting it yourself, it's simple enough to create and upload a new theme. I found several sites (like this one: http://www.phpbb3styles.net/) that offer themes for download. Looking at the zipfile, the directory structure looks pretty straightforward. Shouldn't be too hard to develop themes on your own, if you know HTML and CSS (and have some design skill). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubrica Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 OK, I've downloaded the .zip file, now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/development.php Middle-ish you'll see a subheading of Download, chose whether you want to download as a .zip or as a .tar.bz2 file type and click whichever one you decide, everything after that is self-explanatory.
