if you goto
our support forum there is a post pined to the top of that section with
instructions on how to change chmod settings and how to manualy install if
you are having troubles with safe mode. As for the front of my site, we
use a portal, you can get this from www.ibresources.com and serach for
portal :) hope
this helps.

[zxoltar]

for the
main page on this site is called a portal, and you can get that here: ibfxtreme portal ('http://ibfxtreme.sourceforge.net/forums/index.php?act=site')


for the errors your
getting when you import a skin. give us the exact error your
getting.

if the errors fill up pages, then just copy out the first
few lines, and post them here.

[appleworkitbaby]

Well now it is showing two errors...here is the first....

Directory
creation failed, cannot import skin set. Please check the permission in
'archive_in'

And all files are in the Archive_in
folder

Now here was m first problem....

Warning: mkdir()
failed (File exists) in
/home/appleworkitbaby/public_html/rocky/forum/sources/Admin/ad_skin_import.php
on line 196

But now it will not even let me get to this
page...because of the deleted thing atop....

And a hole page
will be filled with errors like
Warning: mkdir() failed (File exists)
in
/home/appleworkitbaby/public_html/rocky/forum/sources/Admin/ad_skin_import.php
on line 196
but may be a little diffrent every time...like on another
line...

Please let me know about this...

ok have
a couple questions for yea.

1. what version of IB are you running.
1.01 or 1.1
2. what skin are you trying to import, and what version of
IB was it made for.

also up top in the support forum is a post
about chmod settings, set your archive_in to 777 as well as /skin and
style_images.

It's
me again.

I have a dumb question. The only enhancement that I care
about in the ibfxtreme over the Bourke Portal is the menu bar at the top.
In the ibfxtreme there is an option to go home to the portal. I cannot
seem to trace where that is being built. I have looked in lang_portal
(with is lang_site in xbfxtreme) and can't seem to trace it. Can
someone give me a hint?

Thanks,

Therese

I'm
not familiar with the portal but the easiest way to do this would be via
your admin CP>Manage Skins & Templates>Manage Template Sets>Manage html(of
the set you wish to add the link to) expand Global HTML elements and edit
start_nav which should look something like <table width='<{tbl_width}>'
align='center' border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="2">
<tr>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<td
width='1%'
valign='middle'><{F_NAV}></td>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;<td width="100%" align='left'
valign='middle'
class="nav"> then add your link at the end
<table width='<{tbl_width}>'
align='center' border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="2">
<tr>
&nbsp; &nbsp;<td
width='1%'
valign='middle'><{F_NAV}></td>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;<td width="100%" align='left'
valign='middle' class="nav"><a
href='http://www.yourportalHome.com'>Homepage</a>
->


Obviously changing the nonsense
address I've used to your portals address ;)

[WxChat]

We
did this by editing the Functions.php file for IBF
find

$nav .= "<a
href='

and replace the entire line with


$nav .= "<a
href='{$ibforums->vars['board_url']}/index.{$ibforums->vars['php_ext']}?s={$ibforums->session_id}'>Homepage</a>
-> <a
href='{$ibforums->vars['board_url']}/index.{$ibforums->vars['php_ext']}?act=idx&s={$ibforums->session_id}'>Forums</a>";

thats a hack though tut tut lol if you're never going to design a skin
for release you'd be ok following Aarons advice ;) Basically its exactly
the same Aaron's is just mine in PHP, so either way will work. I just
do skinning :D

Anyway to make your mind up this
is what my alteration would look like

http://www.virtual-forum.com/home.jpg

and this is what Aarons would look like

LOL yeah but this way all of your skins on your board will have the link
updated doing it your way (which is fine) would make the indiv have to add
it to every start_nav file for every skin :)

As for skinning my advice to ANY
Skinner is to set up a testboard like myself and Adam have this way you
always are dealing with the core IBF board and just tweaking the COPY of
the Default skin for your skinning purposes ;))

true
when I had a busy forum, which I deleted cos the members got on me
nerves(I'm a crappy host :D they
had two skins to choose from....mine or the wrong one...the 'lil so
'n so's :) yep, if
you're using multiple skins stick with Aarons advice ;))

[WxChat]

I
agree but as the Host we need keep our members happy :) its a
pain sometimes but well worth it when they go out and get more peeps to
join ;))

Wow!
that's weird. With our ntl account we get 30mb of online space. And i
have 2 folders i want to get rid of (i put them there myself) but it keeps
saying file exists! i have no idea what is causing it. and will prolly
resort to calling the isp and see if they can delete those folders for me
