phpBB styles
A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG NIGHT!, and at last…
One of the most confusing thing that is related to phpBB styles and modifications, is that when they release a new modification, that have something to be done with the styles - and that always happen -, they release the installation steps on the default style - which in my case is prosilver -. So, when you need to install a new modification, and you are using another styles that’s not the default, you will have to implement how you may write the code in the template files. In another words, you will try to find the differences between your style and the default one and try to comprise between both. I started doing so, and I was sure of what I’m doing, cause one default style uses divs and dls and mine uses tables - haven’t they heard of tableless?! -.
I was installing the global announcements mod, which shows the topics that are marked as global in the front page under a category called “Announcements” - or it’s what is supposed to be - , but it showed up as “Forum” :wtf: , changing language files, installing the style and editing the files again and again but nothing happens. I ran to the mod’s support forum, when I found un-related issues to my one, but while searching I found that after installing a mod, you HAVE to go to the Styles tab and refresh the Style’s template, theme and imageset files, if you have changed any of them. A try and another :wtf: , it worked?!..yeah it worked..
I still wonder why did they created it that way?!..wala ana elli et3awedt 3ala el wordpress?!
