View Full Version : Feature -> Add style set from LOCAL file?

Hi guys.
I think this is not possible yet? For those who can't use PHP outside safe mode, could you implement a feature that would allow them to, say, upload a new style file with FTP, and then add it on the control panel?
Just a suggestion. :)

You can do that already -- just type the path into the box instead of uploading.

This path.. Should it be the full path or relative to the location of the board? Because I did try it and it went "Invalid style file" on me. :o

Sorry about bothering you constantly, but I'm trying to do this on a free web host for now.. When I log on with FTP the directory is /public_html/vbb .. But I couldn't get it to work, with http:// tags or without them. :(
I'd really like to start cracking on those templates(I plan adding table header background pictures, stuff like that), just wanna know I can add the templates painlessly when the final is out.

http:// is not a path identifier. It is a protocol identifier on TCP/IP.
Your full path would be something like:
/disk1/home/username/public_html/vbb/admin/
You will have to get this information from your provider.

OK, thanks Wluke. I knew http:// isn't used with paths, but I figured the full URL to the file could be what I was looking for. :)
Thanks again to both of you. I'll consult the provider.
