Themes?

[Aluenda]

Hi, I'm like totally new to php and Rusnak, and some help would be greatly appreciated!

My site is http://capria.nuvarta.com/index.php, and the person who set up the host also installed Rusnak php onto the site.

I'm interested in changing the theme, or at least learning how to, because I want my site to look a bit more professional. I also have a banner being made and I want to know how to insert that into the theme :)

If anyone can help me, please do! :D
Also note that I know next to nothing about php (I do know html very well! and a little bit of css ;D), as this was installed for me, and I would like to avoid downloading things straight to my PC (my other computer crashed because I had downloaded something into it :o)

Hello,

Currently I'm working on getting a tutorial up on how to create a theme for the script. More information on how to make or convert a theme will be coming in the next few days / weeks.

Basically though you can use any HTML document or file as a theme for the script. You just have to replace things in the HTML file so that it works with the script. For instance, instead of:

<title>Your site title here</title>

You would do something like:

<title>:SITETITLE:</title>

Which would display the title from the script on your browser.

More information will follow shortly on how to make your own theme, but I also suggest that you take a look at the theme included with the script to see how it works. :)

You can? I'm not really sure what you exactly need to make a theme-- but I have banners and such :P I'll pm you the page of all my banners and backgrounds I have for the site ^^

Brandon, could you make a list of all the conversions? I know about the :SITETITLE: and all the old ones, but what about the new menu bars and such in the new script? Also the :LOGINORACCT: seems to have changed.
Thanks again,

Ok, let's see, conversions...

:ARTICLETITLE: - The page title
:ARTICLECONTENT: - The page content
:ARTICLEDATE: - The date of a page, hardly used
:BROWSERTITLE: - The browser title bar text
:SITENAME: - The site name as it will appear on the template
:SLOGAN: - The site slogan
:SIDEFEED: - Replaces "Login or Account", basically controls the login box on the side if a guest, or the user options on the side if a member. This works best if it is in a vertical style, such as with the default theme.
:ADS: - Displays ads from the ads system
:LINKSBAR: - Controls the links from the top navigation. Links will come pre-formulated from the script as links wrapped in <li> tags I believe. :)

That's all of them. :)

Ah, perfect. So there's nothing for the vertical menu? I guess I can do that manually though.
Thanks again. :)

[BMR777]

Which vertical menu? The one with the list of links when a user is logged in? That is handled by :SIDEFEED: and is output through some code inside of functions.php. :)

[Quillink]

Ohh! Alright then, looks like I have some work to do. Thanks again- again..? =S
