ACP -> Look & Feel -> Look & Feel -> Template Tools. Look for this: And fill it out as it fits you

$5-$10 is far from fair if you're selling the .psd yourself. If you're selling the .psd only, sell it for $20+ minimum. If you want to get it coded, post a topic in the Marketplace section and someone will probably be able to help you. And if you're looking to get it coded, I'm able to complete that service.

While using apps for these kinds of things may be easier, this is a tutorial on how to add a guest message per skin. So for those of us who create custom skins and whatnot and want to add more and more features to them to make them more appealing, this is one of the things you can add to your list.

ACP -> Look & Feel -> Your Skin -> CSS -> ipb_ckeditor.css Find this: .ipsSmileyTray { Below it, you should see this: height: 32px; Change the 32px to however many pixels suit your emoticons.

The reason for it being italicized, I'm not sure. But add this to your CSS and it will fix it: .url { font-style: normal !important; }

As of yesterday, 5 per day. You can get 10 per day by becoming an Advanced Member (only requirement Phun has listed so far is to have 50 posts made), or by donating and becoming a Donator. If I'm not mistaken, Donators get unlimited downloads.

Got my profile approved. A few things I didn't like from the start is mainly the global sidebar, and the width of the entire page makes it seem really wide and kinda weird imo. Testing out all the features now.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 costs about $650 and sold 11 million within the first month. Not sure how much the iPhone 5s cost at first, and I couldn't find any sales stats for the first month of sales, but I'm pretty sure that's around the same price, if not, more than the 5s. Galaxy phones are usually about the same price as iPhones, or more if I'm not mistaken, and have much more to offer + better specs. Bigger screen, better camera, microSD storage if needed (I definitely needed it), and much more, so you're really getting more for your money when you buy a Galaxy as opposed to an iPhone. In my personal opinion, Androids are much better than iPhones. I hate iOS, it limits you to basically everything you can think of, while the Play Store has an entire category for phone customizations. Even if you don't like customizing your phone, it's always nice to have the option available if ever needed. And many other things besides customizations and whatnot.

Then find the code for the post count, remove it, and replace it with this: <if test="postCount:|:$author['member_id']"> <li class='post_count desc lighter uip'> <span class='leftinfo'>{$this->lang->words['m_posts']}:</span> <span class='rightinfo'>{parse expression="$this->registry->getClass('class_localization')->formatNumber( intval( $author['posts'] ) )"}</span> </li> </if> <li class='uip'> <span class='leftinfo'>Joined:</span> <span class='rightinfo'>{parse date="$author['joined']" format="DATE"}</span> </li> <li class='uip'> <span class='leftinfo'>Reputation:</span> <span class='rightinfo'>{$author['pp_reputation_points']}</span> </li> Then add this to your CSS: .leftinfo { float: left; color: #505050; text-transform: capitalize; } .rightinfo { float: right; color: #818181; } .uip { display: inline-block; width: 100%; }

To get it looking exactly like that you'll need to do some edits in your CSS, but here's the codes you'll need to display those things (besides the custom field): <li>Joined: {parse date="$author['joined']" format="DATE"}</li> <li>Reputation: {$author['pp_reputation_points']}</li> You should already have the post count in your userInfoPane.

2 questions about the Advanced Members group. Has anyone been added to that group yet? And how does one get added to this group?

I don't have the skin anymore so I don't have the code for it. But if you need any of the code from a specific something in the image, just let me know.

ACP -> Look & Feel -> Your Skin -> globalTemplate. FInd this: <noscript> Add this code above it: <if test="($this->memberData['member_id'])"><else /> <div class='guestMessage'> <div class='guestHeader'>Welcome to {$this->settings['board_name']}</div> Register now to gain access to all of our features.

Exact same tutorial I posted over a year ago.. Just reworded and organized the code (not even sure why the code in my topic is like that, I posted it differently).

Personally, I'm really looking forward to it. All the new features will be great to explore and mess around with, and even though some of the design aspects don't look great in my opinion, I'm happy with most of it. But getting used to all of the new things in the ACP will be taking some time, mainly the skin templates. If the skin templates aren't too confusing, I'll probably be making some 3.x skins for 4.0.

ACP -> Forums -> Forums -> Manage Forums -> Your Forum -> Edit (Pencil icon). Find this: Mark it as "yes". Then whenever someone marks their topic with a best answer, that little badge will show up. You close the topic manually after I believe.

Really nice tut, some people would find this useful. I made something like this for a skin I converted before, mine was just a little different looking.

It worked! I did that for the skins_global.php file before I opened up this topic and didn't know that all other files would need to be edited too. Thanks a lot.

That normally would work as far as I see, but I lost the entire database I was using, so I can't import the skin tables. I found something kinda relative to the templates inside the cache -> skin_cache folder, where it has all my written skins from the old board, but they're in .php format. Already tried making a new skin and replacing the skin_cache files with those, but it just gave me a syntax error.

Lock Down is indeed a special part of this community, WebFlake is lucky to have him stick around.

Is there any possible way to export skins from the ACP via FTP? I recently restored my computer, and long story short, I lost the IPB database it was using. Is there any possible way to get my skin files back? I know I still have the images in the style_images folder, but I need the templates too. If not, I lost about 3 important skins.. EDIT : Found where the CSS files are stored, that's some help at least. Still looking for the templates though. :S
