Setup skins in Invision Board when SafeMode is ON
We are getting lot of complaints on php-safemode ON as customers unable to upload new skins if safemode is ON.
You can give following procedure to customers for uploading skins.
===========================================================
You can try following workaround to install skin If your PHP uses safe mode/
Then you need to do it manually. Here is how to do that:
1. Extract the set-skinname.tar file and you should have these files/directorys:
- images
- macro.txt
- stylesheet.css
- templates.html
- templates_conf.inc
- wrapper.html
2.a. In your FTP browser go into ’style_images’ in your forum directory and create a new folder called anything.
2.b. Go into the new folder (forumdir/style_images/name/) and upload everything in the ‘images’ directory of our extracted tar file in that folder.
3. Go into your forums AdminCP and go into ‘Skins & Templates’ then:
3.a. Go to ‘Board Wrappers’ and where it says OR Choose a wrapper file from your computer to import click ‘browse’ then find the wrapper.html file from our extracted tar file and click ‘import’
3.b. Go to ‘HTML Templates’ and import the templates.html file the same way as we did in 3.a.
3.c. Go to ‘Style Sheets’ and import the stylesheet.css file as we did in 3.a.
3.d. Go to ‘Macros’ and import the macro.txt file as we did in 3.a
4. To finish we need to put all the files in one skin set. Go into ‘Manage Skin Sets’ and press ‘Create new skin set’ then select all the files we have imported/uploaded and the images directory name you choose.
Tip: If you want it to be set as the main skin which guests see and members who haven’t choosen a skin click yes for ’set as defualt skin set’
