Phpbb3, can anyone code ?

I was wondering if there was anyone that new how to code a skin for phpbb3

this for $? i don't think its too different then phpbb no?

It is like Invision and VB now isn't it? Oh, and is it out of beta yet? I don't suggest getting a design coded for a beta version.

Its basically the same as phpbb2, apart from the image specifications have its own file.

The Structure is a bit different. Templates are stored in the styles folder. Once in there you have the SubSilver folder.

From there you have the following files and folders:

• imageset
• template
• theme
• style.cfg

Imageset has all the icons that are seen such as buttons etc. It also has a imageset.cfg which defines the filenames and the sizes.

Template has all the .tpl files that define the layout of the forum. It as well has a config file called template.cfg which lets you set the name, copyright, and the version of your theme. Which must be done for all the cfg files.

Theme contains the rest of the images that imageset doesn't have as well as the style css and a theme.cfg

Basically, if you can work your head around that, and know how to make themes/edit themes then you should be right


PS: I don't claim to say this is 100% correct, this is just how i understand it all works, if anyone has any better way to explain, please do correct me

Yes its still in beta.

It has gotten confusing for me now so i can't really say much on the templates.

Ive only dabbled in it at the moment, im starting a forum on it soon, when final release comes out hopefully be able to know a lot more about it then. If you need some help, add me to msn, or just ask your questions here.

MODS: Maybe this should be moved to 'HTML/CSS Coding'?

what is your msn and how well is your coding and what is the price range =]

My msn is in my profile

I would wait to make sure they dont change the template system again before they release it first. i coded one in to test it and then updated to the latest one and the system was different.

Lol im not saying for just the board i might need you to do other things.

The last thing you want to do is start designing a template for a beta application. Even the day before the release the whole system could change and you'll be stuck with a template that needs re-coding. Not to mention the fact that phpBB 3 is not meant to be used for forums other than testing and for finding bugs until the release...
