As of 3.2.3, all premade skins come with a configuration template file, called _ipbfsConfig, located at Admin Cpanel > Look & Feel > Skin > _ipbfsConfig. This file controls certain features within the skin (such as guest messages, drop down menus, social networking links, etc). To toggle a feature, simply change it's value from on/off. ------------------------ Social Network Icons To enable social network icons (eg. facebook), find: <if test="$this->settings['showFacebook']='no'"></if> Change to: <if test="$this->settings['showFacebook']='yes'"></if> ------------------------ Social Network URL's The links to your facebook/twitter/youtube links can also be customized from _ipbfsConfig. For facebook, find: <if test="$this->settings['facebookName']='username'"></if> Change username in the above line to your facebook username. If you want to link to a page, simply use page/PageTitleHere/, etc. ------------------------ Guest Message To disable the guest message, find: <if test="$this->settings['guestMessage']='yes'"></if> And change yes to no. The guest message can be customized in globalTemplate. ------------------------ Drop Down Menu These skins also come with a drop-down menu which can be useful if you have a lot of links in your navigation bar. To turn it on, find: <if test="$this->settings['navDropdown']='no'"></if> Change no to yes Next, go to globalTemplate and find: <li class='left'><a href="#" class='ipbmenu' id='primary_extra'>Extra links <img src='{$this->settings['img_url']}/useropts_arrow.png' /></a></li> This controls the tab name. Change "Extra links" to your own text if required. To customize the menu links, scroll down further and find: <ul id='primary_extra_menucontent' class='ipbmenu_content' style='display: none'> <li><a href='#'>Extra Link</a></li> <li><a href='#'>Extra Link</a></li> <li><a href='#'>Extra Link</a></li> </ul> Change # to the URL of your new page, and add/remove list items if necessary. ------------------------ Default "More" Menu The configuration file (by default) disables the automatic "More" dropdown menu that comes with IPB. This menu causes a severe bug in IE8, so I thought it was best to disable it. To enable it, find: <if test="$this->settings['defaultMoreDropdown']='no'"></if> ..and change no to yes. This should not be used in combination with the above menu. ------------------------ Forum Descriptions in Tooltips Go to Board Index > boardIndexTemplate <if test="$this->settings['hoverDescriptions']='no'"></if>
