How to use Sub-templates?

[Michael Lundie]

Hi all! I'm just posting to ask if anyone uses/knows how to use sub-templates? I have found some info on other forums, and found information, but I can't get it too work. I would have a scutter around with the programming but I've developed a bit of a record recently of breaking things...

I know a few other people have asked here, but none of the posts had been replied to that I had found.

I've so far created a sub-template directory and attempted to impliment one with no success. I would really appreaciate any assistance! (We've merged with another community and I suggested we use this in order that they may keep the look of their old boards...but I stupidly didn't test it.)

Thanks in advance!

what do you mean by subtemplates? you mean give the user the ability to change their theme to the old look?

[Michael Lundie]

Thanks for the reply. Sub-templates was a system where you could assign a different 'template to a forum category. So you can have one category (When clicked on) on one template, and another...on another template.

If you go to ACP --> Styles Admin --ÂÂ ¬ Sub-templates .

I use 'was' as I'm not sure if it's still integrated. Cheers!

Here's how ya do it...

Go into ACP
Open Styles Admin
Click Sub-Templates
you get a list of your templates... Click on one of them
You'll get your forum tree
Click on the 'Add a new sub-template'
click the check-box next to the forums that you want to use that template...

Thats all I know...

Thanks for the reply! I was doing as above, it's just it was refusing to actually see a sub-folder with a subtemplate again. Have you successfully used it before? (just wondering if it is a problem with my board, or everyone's? I get the feeling this feature isn't used much...lol)

I'll try again when I get back from London on Monday. Take care and thanks again!

I did it once before, but I can't for the life of me remeber exactly how I did it past what I already posted. I'll have to look at it again now that I have time.

It's amazing how much time studying for a CCNA will eat up! but now that I have the cert, I actually have tiome to spend on my board! YAY!

Hi! Thanks for replying! Sorry for the delayed reply on my side, I was in London for a bit. I'm back now though!

That would be a great help if you managed to remember! I'm going to experiment a bit more tonight, still no luck though.

Also, congrats with the CCNA! I know what you mean about studying taking up so much time! I'm currently studying a (BA)Animation. Hard to fit some stuff in!

Thanks again! Take care!
