Hi there. Mini BB ist still great - because i can change my design easyer. But - ist it a mistake - there is no index-template, second there are no simple working pages for "main_forums.html" and "main_last_discussions.html".

1) Where can I find a "index" template for changing design at the startsite

2) How can i use the functions "forums" and "last discussions" in single use??

Best regards, Hansy

1) main_forums.html, main_forums_cell.html, main_last_discussions.html, main_last_discuss_cell.html
2) What do you mean by "single use"?

Hi Paul,

i find that templates, but that are single templates.

At the moment the "general index" (can´t find a index.html, only index.php) looks like "main_forums.html" (including ...cell) plus "main_last_discussions.html" (including ...cell)...combinated.

I like to know, how i can use this two templates in single use - also:

main_forums.html (incl. main_forums_cell.html) = index

main_last_discussions.html, main_last_discuss_cell.html = cancel or single page

with best regards,
Hansy

Of course, they are combinated. I don't see any way how can you do a single parsing of a template, if there is some dynamic content inside.

No way to see the whole index. index.php parses all these templates and produces the general result.

perhaps, Hansy, you are looking to change the look and feel of your forum?
then check out the "skins" in the download area - they give you a good idea on changing the look&feel of your over-all forum,

RAAN : and what about the file "index.html"
(that Hansy has been asking since the start) ?

Strange how a same incident (1)appears for the 1st time at the forum (2), the same day that we also downloaded a "mini.BB" which does not generate an "index.html",(3)
with the result to block the use of a server. (see thread on "installing miniBB by newbies : B-A, BA").

=> Should we try to create an "index.html" file with other means ?

you don't need one. most servers will, for example, look for:

index.html
index.htm
index.php
content.html
content.htm

whenever you browse to a new directory on the server.

the html you see when you visit a dynamic site (such as a forum) has usually been generated 'on the fly' in response to your clicking a link.

if you want to modify the layout of minibb, the best way i've found to do it is to save the generated html of a page - modify that until i like the style of it - then go through the appropriate templates and change them afterwards.
