Very Nice... 5 Stars

ooh, I like that

do you know how it might effect things if there are subforums?

If those other mods are used, eg: displaying subforums in 2 columns and adding an image to the left of each subforum? I forget the mod names, any idea if it goes pear shaped?

cheers

PS - would it work by putting some code in to the description box of the forum itself in the ACP, as I think it allows some BBcode and HTML in there? - what I mean is make a call to the functions from the forum description box? or something, lol

Very nice Tutorial  

[AmgedOsman]

thank you andy its nowhere comparing to your tutorials

[OuttaHere]

amGed, I notice on your screenshot, right column bottom, that the writing doesn't go right across, ( [SKY NEWS] Russia: Chelsea An... )

That looks a bit odd, but I can't get it to spread, it did, however, look better when I changed the first column to 75%.


Also, this ...

<img src="style_images/posts.gif"

... should say this ...

<img src="style_images/<#IMG_DIR#>/posts.gif"


And the same with 'topics.gif'.


Looks cool though, well done.

[AmgedOsman]

yes ur free to change  the "%" as you want thats not the main purpose of the tutorial anyways

Also for images strings
its not a MUST but you MAY do it that way if u use lots of images and different ones for different skin

but i dont do that i use one image for all cuz i hate uploading images :| lol


Thanks

Ah, but as I don't run a public forum, all edits I do to skins are for export, so everything has to be included with the skin.

Great tut  

But what I did was , switched the topics in front of the posts.

Original

<br />
<img src="style_images/posts.gif" alt="<i>{$data['posts']}</i> Posts" /> <b><i>{$data['posts']}</i></b> Posts   <img src="style_images/topics.gif" alt="<i>{$data['topics']}</i> " /> <b><i>{$data['topics']}</i></b> Topics

After changing it

<br />
 <img src="style_images/topics.gif" alt="<i>{$data['topics']}</i> " /> <b><i>{$data['topics']}</i></b> Topics<img src="style_images/posts.gif" alt="<i>{$data['posts']}</i> Posts" /> <b><i>{$data['posts']}</i></b> Posts

To me it looks better like this.
