Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Merging PHPNuke theme with different PHPBB Forum

I have a premium account to thethemes.cc and can download any of their free game themes. The problem is they package their free themes with the SmartDark template which I hate.

I want to replace the template with another forum from another theme. I can simply place the forum inside the theme folder but is there any prefered way to merge the two seemlessly. I change all the code and point it to the new path but is there a better way? Can I delete the forum.css and just use the theme/style/style.css for control?

Is this legal if I leave all the copyrights in place?

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to incorpoarte a diff forum than the one that was pre-coded for that theme. You can as you have been doing, add the fourm folder into the themes folder and then you'd have to configure all the images info for that forum theme.

As for your second question about deleting the forum.css and replacing it with the style.css...again it depends on the theme maker and how they have pre-coded the theme.

i downloaded the changed files from phpbb.com and uploaded them to the folders they needed to be in and tried runnin the .sql file to set up database and it said that it already existed... so i open the update-to-latest.php file like it said in the instructions and all it said was please read the instructions page first before contenuing each time and i read everything their where it said how to change the forums and get same thing. when i dont cange anything the phpbb forums says its out of date to please upgrade when i open the admin menu.. i tried going from phpbb 2.15 to phpbb 2.17.. but i noticed that php nuke 7.9 has been released and it already carrys the phbb2.17 forums would it be possibale for you to upload it to this site and make it avilable for download... it says it suppose to be free but their charging 10bux for the downloads now and thats money i aint got thanks if you can help. and i didnt know if i should post this here if i aint im sorry but i felt it was on same topic about the phpbb upgrading
