I put phpbb on my site through the Cpanel, and I put the skin I wanted to use in the templates folder, but when I good to turn it on, it doesn't show up. What am I doing wrong?

As I'm not entirely clear on what the problem is, here're a few resolutions:
> You unzipped the template, right? > Make sure you're putting the right files in the right folder > Check out : http://www.phpbb.com/kb/categories.php http://www.phpbb.com/support/guide/ http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=1 http://www.phpbb.com/support/documents.php?mode=faq http://www.phpbb.com/support/tutorials/ |

You must unzip the files, then upload them to the templates folder. Then go to your Admin Control Panel. Go under styles and click the page Add, and install the skin there! Then go to Configuration and set that skin as the default skin.
 This should be your answer!

I've tried that, but when I go to the "Add" page, there are no links, just and empty table. Everything is unzipped and in the right folder, I'm not that dumb

Did you make sure it's in a subfolder under templates
i.e. Templates/<insert template name> Btw, which forum skin are you trying to upload? |

Yes, the it's under the folder 'templates', and I've tried a few of them, right now it's called charcoal.

PHPBB identifes that there is a theme by checking the folder directories in your templates folder, so, you should something more or less like the following directory structure.
>Templates >SubSilver .................>images .................>admin >Charcoal .................>images .................>admin If it's not, re-extract the theme and make sure that the directoires are all in the correct place. It is using this structure where the PHP code reads the first folder name. I woould try to test another template (like nosebleed or corundum, my favorites, and see if they work, if not, thee must be something wrong with the scripting, perhaps you modifeied some parts of the forum? If so, you may want to try reinstalling the forum, (but make a backup first!). On another note, you can contact the creator of the theme. |
