Hey. Well its kinda ez if you make it simple. I know it comes with alot of lil pictures and some headers and footers files. If the template is set up decent most the pictures for the template should be in seperate folders. This is where it gets a lil time consuming. Every picture from every folder has to be uploaded to a host site. I dont recommend something like tinypic or fileshack. I used photobucket. I just made a folder for whatever teh templates name was. So for this 1 i made a folder or photobook called SilverRed, And for that photobook i created sub folder named after the diffrent folders(i.e. smilies or main). Then i uploaded all the pictures from the corresponding folder to the photobucket 1. This takes a bi7ch of alot of time for me and their new service Flock is fkn sh1t. Once you get all the pictures and stuff uploaded, you have to modify whatever headers and footers they have. This is pretty simple you just open up the files and read the lines of code. It sounds geeky but its ez. You should see some thing like this in there .titlebg { background-image: url(http://www.yourhost.com/titlegrad.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; Where is sez yourhost thats where the link to that file that you uploaded should be. There should be at least 2 files called either headers or footers and both need a lil modding for the template to work. When you got that all modified and fixed you just go to the admin section and click Headers and Footers or modify headers and footers. The name of the header file you modded should tell you where it goes. If its named global header it goes global and main footer would go in main footers area. Now you have to set the smilies and buttons and sh1t like that. You have to go to skin/forum colors. Tbh most the templates don't really have much diffrent with buttons and sh1t but meh. for every picture you have to put the address of the new picture in the box or line. so if the  smiley is going to be replaced by a black or blue or w/e smiley you have to put the link in the box. this is pretty ez, but sometimes like i said those templates are all f00ked up and the pics arent where they need to be and you have to give a lil look around. Once all that other sh1t is done now you can set the text, background pic, and the whole color scheme. This aint to bad, all the templates have the color codes for where and what they should be. Just have to type them in. I hope this help in any way. And if you say f00k it and give up you can always give me the template and ill try and get it done sometime soon for ya. |
