Skinning vb.

[Ionsurge]

Hi,

This a presale question, in that I am trying to still decide whether I should go for vb.

I just wanted to know what the file structure looks like for vb templates.

I have absolutely no idea, and would very much like to know what the structure is like and if I could skin it without much difficulty.


Thanks vb.

Everything is stored in the MySQL database.

Modifying templates is all handled within the Admin Control Panel.

Customizing vBulletin is soooo easy (in my opinion).

You can view the template tree at http://www.vbulletin.com/admindemo/admin (log in as admin/admin).

Click the link in my sig first, though, to reset the demo. It's easy if you want to customize just colors, so-so if you want to change some layout, and difficult if you want to redo half of your forums.

I have come across the admin demo previously in my rumble through the vb sites trying to learn more about it before taking the final hurdle.

When or if I do get vb depending on if I do like what I see, I will be skinning it completely, e.g. somewhat like vbskins do.

I wanted to see the directory/file structure - if you want to email it to me or something feel free to do so.

All the data is stored in the MySQL database the basic file structure is
/admin/
all admin control panel files
/images/
all image files
/mod/
moderator control panel
/
basic user frontend files

I dont have access to all the file names just now but if you need a complete version then I'll post that later.

What do the actaul template files contain, is it like phpBB where it is html, or is it completely different with a combo of php and html?

(I am just wanting to be certain of all this) - oh and it is intented for mudsplat

Everything is stored in the MySQL database.
There are NO TEMPLATE FILES. (as quoted above from a prior post)

No template html files. Go into the Admin Panel, then go to templates (all the way to the bottom). show all, and take a look at what they look like.

Cheers ogden2k, that is exactly what I was looking for.
