  • You need a FTP-Program. (I reccomend Filezilla)

  • Log in to your server with own settings.

  • Go to the path of your forums.

  • Go to style_emoticons

  • Choose the set you want. Mostly it is 'default'

  • Delete the emoticons that you don't want anymore.

  • Your Done!

First, download highslide, extract the zip file, and upload the 'highslide' folder to your forum's jscripts folder. The directory structure should look like this:

ROOT/jscripts/highslide/graphics/
ROOT/jscripts/highslide/highslide.css
ROOT/jscripts/highslide/highslide.js
Etc.

Next, edit your skin's wrapper, find:

</head>


Add above:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/highslide/highslide.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jscripts/highslide/highslide.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
	// override Highslide settings here
	// instead of editing the highslide.js file
	hs.graphicsDir = 'jscripts/highslide/graphics/';
</script>


Save the wrapper, repeat for each skin. Next, edit your Topic View -> Show_attachments_img_thumb template, find this :

	<div id='ipb-attach-div-{$data['_attach_id']}'>
		<div id='ipb-attach-ct-{$data['_attach_id']}'></div>
		<a id='ipb-attach-url-{$data['_attach_id']}' href="{$this->ipsclass->base_url}act=attach&type={$data['type']}&id={$data['attach_id']}" title="{$data['location']} - {$this->ipsclass->lang['attach_size']} {$data['file_size']}, {$this->ipsclass->lang['attach_ahits']} {$data['attach_hits']}" target="_blank"><img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['upload_url']}/{$data['t_location']}" id='ipb-attach-img-{$data['_attach_id']}' style='width:{$data['t_width']};height:{$data['t_height']}' class='attach' width="{$data['t_width']}" height="{$data['t_height']}" alt="{$this->ipsclass->lang['pic_attach']}" /></a>
		<div id='ipb-attach-cb-{$data['_attach_id']}' style='margin:0px'></div>
	</div>


Change it to:

<a href="{$this->ipsclass->vars['upload_url']}/{$data['_location']}" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this)">
  <img src="{$this->ipsclass->vars['upload_url']}/{$data['t_location']}" style='width:{$data['t_width']};height:{$data['t_height']}' width="{$data['t_width']}" height="{$data['t_height']}" alt="{$this->ipsclass->lang['pic_attach']}" />
</a>


In the same template, find and remove this:

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
	fix_linked_image_sizes_attach_thumb( "{$data['_attach_id']}", parseInt("{$data['o_width']}"), parseInt("{$data['o_height']}"), "{$data['file_size']}" );
//]]>
</script>


Save the template, repeat for each skin. Finally, edit your sources/classes/attach/class_attach.php file, find this (on about line 475):

'notinline'   => $not_inline,


Add below:

'_location'   => $row['attach_location'],


Save and upload. Let me know if you have any problems. :)

Well this tutorial will show you how to do this.

Step 1. Go to your AdminCP / LOOK & FEEL Tab / Skins & Templates / Skin Manager
select your skin you wish to display the staff message. / Edit Template HTML / All Global HTML / member_bar

scroll down the bottom and add:

<if="$this->ipsclass->member['mgroup'] == $this->ipsclass->vars['admin_group'] || $this->ipsclass->member['is_mod'] || $this->ipsclass->member['g_is_supmod'] == 1">
Staff Message: Staff Message!
</if>

Click 'Save Template Bit(s)' and your done.

Note: The Global Messages modification will archive this as well, plus won't require the level of skins edits necessary as this tutorial.]]> Fri, 09 Jan 2009 00:40:10 +0000 32 Michael 2 Force Guest to use Default Skin http://www.devfuse.com/forums/tutorials/article/37-force-guest-to-use-default-skin/?s=2fc14a80f5d24324cd3bd3a561a51877

Find the following code

if ( $this->input['skinid'] )
{
	$id		= $this->input['skinid'];

Step 1. First backup your forum directory and database! I take no responsibly for this tutorial being followed incorrectly.

Step 2. Go to Admin CP / TOOLS & SETTINGS / System Settings / General Configuration

Find Upload URL and Path to 'upload' directory
In my example we would change

Upload URL: http://www.yoursite.com/forums/uploads to http://www.yoursite.com/bbs/uploads
Path to 'upload' directory: /home/username/public_html/forums/uploads to /home/username/public_html/bbs/uploads

Now click 'Update Settings'

Step 3. Open a ftp client, edit conf_global.php
Find:

$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forums';


In my example we would change it to

$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/bbs';


Remember never to put a '/' at the end of the url.
