How Do You Install PhpBB2 Skins?

Do you need 2 upload the files 2 your server or something?

And where is a good place 2 get them from? Cus i have no idea :)

Thanks :eusa_danc

Quite easy i suggest going to either http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/catdb.php?db=2 or www.phpbbhacks.com. Then download your skin and upload it to the template file. Unzip it and then go to your admin control panel. Go to skins the skins section and then add. You should then be able to install the skin!

Wow genius, I will try and +rep u if i can :)

simple really

it doesn't give me the option 2 install it :-z

make sure the forum version is the version of the skin :)

erm make sure you have uploaded it to the correct folder

If you just upload the ripple template itself will al the files under it fall into place?

I wouldn't download anything from phpbb.com becuase it's just been hacked so nothing will be safe for a while :D

it doesn't give me the option 2 install it :-z i have uploaded all the files, do i have 2 make a new folder called "ripple" (cus thats the skins name ? )

go to your forum folder and then go to template and upload it to there. Then unzip it :S

ju8st unzip it on your computer then upload the folder to the server and yes it does need to be in a folder called ripple

The exporter could not write the theme information file. Click the button below to download this file with your browser. Once you have downloaded it you can transfer it to the directory containing the template files. You can then package the files for distribution or use elsewhere if you desire

Thats the error message i get, but i have uploaded that file, so i can't see whats wrong :-z HEEEEEEELP! :eusa_wall

Try a different skin :D Or I can have ago ..
