Re: where will i findthe style sheet

To avoid problems in the future, you're have to create a custom template. To create a very basic custom template (you can build from there), you need:

  • includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php
  • includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/index.php
  • includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/header.php (to change the logo)
  • includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php
  • includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
  • includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
  • includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/logo.gif
  • includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css

Anywhere you see a /classic/ folder, you can create a folder for your custom template. You can copy the necessary files from either the /classic/ folder, the /template_default/ folder or the parent folder.

Edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php to give your template identifying information so you'll recognize it in the admin under tools->template selection.

Always use a decent text editor when editing php files. Notepad (included with Windows) and Crimson Editor (a free download) are fine. I've heard Notepad++ (also a free download) is also a good one.

Re: where will i findthe style sheet

Please do not bump your posts. Patience is necessary when you are on a forum that is FREE and staffed by volunteers.

You might want to try the tutorials and FAQS

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Re: where will i findthe style sheet

As Glenn and Kim pointed out, information like that is in the FAQ/tutorials. If you followed my list and created your own template (override), the best part is if you make a mistake :yuck:, you can just copy the original file again and start over.

No problem. Most people get so caught up in Zenning that they forget there's a tutorial/FAQ section with lots of useful information. :smile:
