vchris Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 first you need to have php enabled on your server and mySQL or others... You can download styles for your forum on the PHPBB site. Once its installed just access the admin panel from the homepage and you can mod lots of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Once you have PHP and MySql installed and the phpBB folder in your server root, you can naviagate to install.php.The package you downloaded should have step by step instructions on how to install.

Try some of them out first to see how they work before attempting your own.http://www.phpbbstyles.com/http://www.phpbb-design.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electro_M89 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 well the Forums isn't for me =Pit's for a Radio station actually ...so they want their own design (logos and stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 well the Forums isn't for me =Pit's for a Radio station actually ...so they want their own design (logos and stuff)<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well try using some other skins....by installing them it will help you see the different components of a phpbb skin.There is basically 2 parts. The 'headers' or the layout of the template and the CSS (most work involved) you can modify the existing css classes to make the site look how you want.You never know you may find a skjn that is close to what they want and you need to make only some small changes.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use a host like cbj that provides the board alrewady setup you probably can't access the templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
