Skin Mod

[Chris Cromer]

I need a few more css's so I can fully test out this skin system(since I only have 2). So please either post your css's here or send them to [email protected]

Thanks in advance.

Just a thought here while this skin mod is going...

how about allowing the user to view the board in any of the installed languages?

I mean the posts would still be English most likely in most cases, but as long as we're tossing ideas about for this skin mod  

[Chris Cromer]

Actually I had already thought about that and it is possible. All the user has to do is have the language set to what language they want, then pick a skin with that specific language set and the images will be in that language.

Of course this is dependent upon users making skins in other languages. I will only be releaseing one skin the original YaBB look. If yall want more skins just make more and distribute them.

[Jeroen van Rijn]

that's a cool idea,

but I'm thinking of the text that's displayed as well,

like: Hey, Jeroen van Rijn, you have 0 messages.

and: Check this if you wish to be notified of replies to this topic

so this might more be user language support than skin support, but the two are closely tied, imho.



if you want some help coding it I'd be happy to lend a hand.

The language packs already take care of translation of the text, so I don't need to bother with the actual language of the boards. I am just doing cosmetic work skin stuff. I don't think I will need any help making this(I am almost done anyway). Thanks for the offer though.

DOH completely overlooked that dropdown in the profile section.... ah well, must be because it's almost 4am... I just upgraded from 1 Gold and I only had English installed on that one, hence never really noticed.

[Chris Cromer]

Well I am almost finished just a few things left to do. I have to add all the text to the English.lng file for easy translation.

Yall will have user selectable skins pretty soon.

[Chris Cromer]

Alright everyone go to http://www.agigames.com/boardmod/ and try out the skins.

I am getting ready to release it but for now have fun playing around with the skins at this test board.

Just a small bug. When you register and go to our profile, the drop down box for skin says "3D" but the skin is actually "default". You're probably not setting a default value in the mySQL table for skin.

[Chris Cromer]

Hmm, maybe I should add a blank line if there isn't any skin chosen so that nobody gets confused and thinks they have 3D enabled or any other skin enabled until they select one and save it.

[Jeroen van Rijn]

Another idea is to have the combo say "Board default skin" when the user hasn't selected any, or he wants to keep it change whenever the board owner changes the default skin.

How about that?

[Chris Cromer]

It already does that, but right now my default skin is set to the way this board looks. I am going to add templates to it again(request), so it will be just a little longer before release.
