There's really only two ways I can think of doing this. The first is the obvious. Assuming you upgraded from 3.3.x to 3.4.x, you may have made a 3.3.x backup. So you could always re-install everything and use a back up. Another thing you can do is convert to a new software, and then back again. I never did that, so I don't know how much work is involved. The bottom line is this . . you're doing all of this for a theme? Does this them come with a magical spell which makes 70 nymphomaniacs appear in your bedroom?

Have you ever noticed a friend of yours doing something really stupid? I mean really stupid,

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. In some instances, I'd tend to agree with you. However, I've found creative use for the Blogging system on one of my communities -- players from one of my gaming servers utilize it to chronicle exploration across various maps, or even offer in-depth user guides for a variety of in-game aspects. Communities that offer blogs that will never be used, or communities that have users who update their blogs like a Facebook status, are definitely fail..but some of us, are able to cleverly employ this system and succeed.

If you have recently opened a forum - or you're about to - then this edition of WebFlake Cereal is a must read.

In this tutorial, I'll be teaching you how to rip pretty much any HTML/CSS template from sites like ThemeForest and such.Note : I will be using FireFox for this tutorial, and a few steps in this tutorial may be unavailable in other browsers, such as Google Chrome. How To:Step 1) Find a template which you would like to rip.In this tutorial, I will be using this template: http://vc.benbate.com/index.html Step 2) Right Click on an empty area of the template and click on "View Page Info".A window similar to this will pop up:From the tabs at the top, click on "Media".This part is a very important part of the tutorial.Look at the following image:Click on the "Save As..." button and then create a folder for your template files.You will need to create a folder leading to the same directory as the file you are saving.So in this case we would be saving the file called "favicon.ico" in the folder "images".So, when you click the "Save As..." button, create a folder called "images" and save the favicon.ico file inside the images folder.Save each image to their directory. Make sure you don't miss any images!This is may sound hard, but it is very easy, trust me.Step 3) Once you get the images out of the way, let's move onto the HTML & CSS!Right click > View Page SourceOpen up Notepad or Notepad++ or any other notepad type program you use.Go back to the page source. Press Ctrl + A, or select all of the text on the page.Press Ctrl + V, or copy the selection. Paste this onto Notepad.Now, this next part is very important also!Take a look at this screen cap:In this case, you are going to name this file "index.html". But be careful, the name of the file will probably be different for each template.Now, if you notice, you will see some links ending with .css, like this:Click on those links and do the same thing you did with the HTML! Make sure you save them as .css instead of .html, make sure you save them to their correct directories, etc., etc.There may also be javascript files, which you should save as .js, save them to their own directories, etc., etc. .By now, you should have the hang of it!Step 4) Once you've done that, you should have a folder with all your files stored for this rip.If you're ripping the same template I ripped (which I do recommend that you try to rip if it's your first time), your folder should look like this:If it doesn't, you're doing something wrong.Now it's time to upload to our website. Most of us know how to upload things in the FTP, so I'm not gonna bother explain that.Once it's done uploading, go and see if it's working and if you're missing anything, etc. http://www.imsanctuary.info/Virtuoso/ I hope some of you found this useful and not confusing. :DIf you didn't understand something, or if you need help with something, feel free to leave me a PM!If you felt like I'm missing something, or think I should add something to this post, feel free to say so.Tutorial made by Sanctuary, for WebFlake.

Hello, So for add a ribbon on your topic view for a special group without a plugin just follow this tutorial (tested on 3.2.3, 3.3.X): 1) Log into your Admin CP 2) Click on "Look and Feel" > "Manage Template Sets" 3) Click on the name of the template set you wish to edit 4) In the left hand menu, select 'Topic Views' under 'post' 5) In the HTML code, scroll down until you see the following code : <div class='post entry-content <if test="$post['post']['_repignored'] == 1">imgsize_ignore</if>'> {$post['post']['post']} {$post['post']['attachmentHtml']} Add this code ABOVE the previous HTML code (maybe need adapte the position of the code depends the skin) <if test="in_array($post['author']['member_group_id'], array(4,6,7,11,10) )"><img src="http://chost.us/public/style_images/imgfc/staff5.png" class="staffpost"></if> Adapte the number for the groud ID like you want. Change the name of images if you uploaded image is not named "staff5.png" Now go in your CSS 1) Open ipb_styles.css 2) Scroll at the end and add this code : .staffpost {top: -27px;right: -20px;z-index: 1000;float: right;position: relative;} Adapte the css for you skin with the top and right variable. A important step is to upload your image on your "style_image_name" folder. For guys who want to have differents ribbon for moderators and admins (for exemple) just duplicate the code and change the name of image + group ID <if test="in_array($post['author']['member_group_id'], array(7,11) )"><img src="http://xxx.us/public/style_images/imgfc/staff5.png" class="staffpost"></if><if test="in_array($post['author']['member_group_id'], array(4,10) )"><img src="http://xxx.us/public/style_images/imgfc/staff6.png" class="staffpost"></if> Tutorial by Skye

HTTrack can't rip forum skins that's true, it will fail and come with many errors but you can just rip the images in few seconds.For HTML Templates very useful! No problems since years.I don't like to destroy your tutorial with posts about HTTrack, sorry buddy.+1 like for this tutorial

Already all Ok Thank you for all )

xenForo isn't too far behind IPB in terms of template/plugin management. I just never had an affinity for their lousy support team.

Original post by me, you can add me in the credits, thanks..
