Hello pre-

That's a great theme you found. I like it alot.

1. The first thing to do is to install the theme on your phpBB forum.

2. Next, set the MKPortal template to "Forum" and see how it looks.

3. If it looks good then you are done. If it does not look good then please give me a URL where I can look at the theme in the Portal and I will try to help you tweak it.

It turned out really great.

I put it on my test site at http://www.nhs1975.o...ction/index.php

I have another question?

If I was to change the style I have on my main site at http://www.nhs1975.org/community

what is the easiet way to transfer all my stuff that is on my main site into the new style? Or is it automatically there with the change in styles.

That's probably a goofy question but I really don't know the answer.

Simply install the phpBB skin like you did on your test site. You can have more than one skin in the database. The skin is separate from the content.

Hi DKC,

I loaded another mkportal and phpbb for my other site and it didn't appear right on the mkportal. The link is above to the site. The mkportal still has the blue where its' not suppose to.

If you click on the forum you can see how the color combination is suppose to be.

I did change it in the configuration the phpbb and the personal cp for my account and I click on the forum for the mkportal but it doesn't work right.

Can you help me?

If you are only using one forum skin try this...
FIND in /mkportal/include/PHPBB/php_board_functions.php:

		//importing medium background
		$pos = strpos($css2, "td.row3");

REPLACE WITH:

		//importing medium background
		$pos = strpos($css2, "td.row2");

I tried it but it didn't change it. So I put the original coding back.

It should have worked. Maybe you were viewing a cached version of the page. Try deleting your browser cache after you make the change.

It is a bit of a trial and error process when I don't have the actual skin installed to test. If you want to give me a link where I can download the skin it will be easier for me to help.

I went ahead and installed a different style it looks good it will work for what I want. I liked the other one better but....this one looks good to.

Sorry for bothering you,

Hey DKC

Could you help me out of the mess i've made..haha

I loaded a MKportal, with a phpbb and a x7Chat. I loaded the phpbb first and then the x7Chat and everything looked great. Then I added the MKportal and that is where the mess came in...although it's not the mkportal as much as I think it's the template i'm using for phpbb.

Below is the portal:

http://www.stationer...izeIT/index.php

Below is the template:

http://www.cirtexhos.../phpbb/?style=4

Here is the problems:

1. The template won't show inside the portal all I get is a blank white page.

2. I can't get into the phpbb forum to remove the template..well I don't how I should say.

What should I do or what can be done to solve it?

Set the forum outside of the portal and then you should be able to access your forum Admin.

My best guess is that you made an error somewhere when you edited the phpBB files or there is some incompatibility with that specific skin and MKPortal.

I tried setting it outside but it still won't show the forum. I guess i'll have to check the coding later in the phpbb.

You might try this toolkit for phpBB...

http://starfoxtj.php.../phpBB/toolkit/

I think it will allow you to set the phpBB skin back to the default.

I missed some coding big time.

Is there anyway to take out the dark grey background on the forum template?

Easy...

FIND in zar_teal.css:

body {
	background:#868686 url(images/background.jpg) repeat-x; margin:0; color:#3f3f3f;
}

REPLACE WITH:

body {
	background-color:#fff; margin:0; color:#3f3f3f;
}

Replace background-color:#fff; (white) with whatever background color you want to use.

Hi DKC,

Could you help me get the template in the forum to work with the mkportal. It doesn't seem to want to change over to the forum template.

I'm sorry but that is a large and open-ended question. Exactly what issues do you have that you need help with? I am happy to help with specifics.

Well I went to the site just now and forum template was showing up on the mkportal. But whenever I register the mkportal changes back to the darkblue template, but the forum template is still the new template I installed.

How can I get the mkportal to stay the forum theme when I logon.

[pre]

I got it. It helps if the user sets the template to the new template installed...geeze.

Your probably busy and that's ok. I sent you over an email about a couple of the projects we had talked about. Whenever you get time.
