How do you....

[Lockdown]

have it where you can have mulltiple templates with different colors and stuf? Is it a code? Cause if it is can i use it, cause i wanna have more than one template on my site.

[matthew]

Go into the admin panel and select 'skin/forum colors' > 'create new skin'.

If you want to add title, cat and menu images you'll need to use js. Shan requested the code we use from SSD. you'll find it here

Does that mean i would have to get rid of the default templates coding?

[matthew]

just the css for the title, cats, and menu bar (which you'll replace the one given above), everything else is fine

I was gonna do the same thing as you with all your templates, and i know this is a HUGE favor but do you think you could let me copy your codes so i can have all the templates too?

[matthew]

All the coding in my templates are the same, so all you need to do is add the images.

I know but i wanted to use the code in your headers and footers or is that tooo much to ask for cause i know it probally is.

[matthew]

We use the same code in our headers and footers as in the templates. So basically your board, the game web already has the same code as ocgfx.

YEah, but I dont think u understand. I want to be able to have all the templates like u guys. And u guys have the code t do it, so will you post your code?

PS: to use that code should I create more skins before adding the code?

[matthew]

What code do you mean?

If you want to have multiple templates you just need to create them in the admin area under 'skin/forum colors' > 'create new skin'. you can have as many as you like. Then you just put in your images. you don't need a code/s to do this. I'm sorry if i'm still not understanding you correctly. if that's the case you are gonna have to be more specific.

Like, you got over 3 templates, all with different cat., menu., and title. bar images. I dont understand their code, so can i use the code u got that in ur headers&footers so i can have over 3 templates too?

[matthew]

This is the code set up for have three diferent sets of title, grad, and menu images. Replace the red text with the template images.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(pb_skinid == 1){
var catbar="URL FOR 1ST SKIN CAT IMAGE HERE"; //default skin
var titlebar="URL FOR 1ST SKIN TITLE IMAGE HERE";
var menubar="URL FOR 1ST SKIN MENU IMAGE HERE";
}



else if(pb_skinid == 2){
var catbar="URL FOR 2ND SKIN CAT IMAGE HERE"; //second skin
var titlebar="URL FOR 2ND SKIN TITLE IMAGE HERE";
var menubar="URL FOR 2ND SKIN MENU IMAGE HERE";
}



else if(pb_skinid == 3){
var catbar="URL FOR 3RD SKIN CAT IMAGE HERE"; //third skin
var titlebar="URL FOR 3RD SKIN TITLE IMAGE HERE";
var menubar="URL FOR 3RD SKIN MENU IMAGE HERE";
}


//THIS IS WHERE YOU ADD THE CODE FOR MORE SKINS


document.write('<style type="text/css">'+
'.catbg{background-image: url('+catbar+');}'+
'.titlebg{background-image: url('+titlebar+');}'+
'.menubg{background-image: url('+menubar+');}'+
'</style>');
// -->
</script>

to add more skins you need to repeat this part

else if(pb_skinid == NUMBER OF SKIN GOES HERE){
var catbar="URL FOR SKIN CAT IMAGE HERE"; //third skin
var titlebar="URL FOR SKIN TITLE IMAGE HERE";
var menubar="URL FOR SKIN MENU IMAGE HERE";

I hope that helps

But u have 6 templates so can i see what ur code looks like and use it?

[matthew]

<script type="text/javascript">
