Cascading Style Sheets

[shadowdeath01]

Is there a way to make a skin with proboards using a Cascading Style Sheet?

[shadowdeath01]

You can make a skin with CSS, yeah, but you'd be better off using the built-in skin feature in combination with the dif. gradients for dif. skins code in the database. You can still use CSS to add some non-basic stuff like scrollbar colors and cursors but it really depends on what you're wanting to do. You'd apply CSS to your board by placing style tags (or <link> for an external stylesheet) into your global header.

Then f'ing screw Proboards, I'm going to InvisionFree!

He just said you could. Maybe you shouldn't be such an idiot and actually read the post. Unless you're upset about being able to use it, in which case that's just dumb.

But, he said not to, to use the built in skin creater. InvisionFree actually has a specific place named "Manage Style Sheets" where if you hve a style sheet you can just paste it in with out having to sort out header, footer and all that stuff.

I told you to use the built-in skin creator because it's more convenient. If you want to use stylesheets, feel free. There's nothing complicated about the headers/footers, you just paste in your stylesheet

I did that and then when I went back to the homepage it just showed the code not the colors or anything.

Well it needs to be in <style> tags...

[hey]

Go to the Headers/Footers and insert your styles into the headers. Not that tough...

[shadowdeath01]

So put it in <style> tags and then paste it in?

CSS doesn't officially support single-line comments.

And of course, using CSS to create a skin could be very useful if you want to have different skins for different boards in your forum.

It would be easy enough to create a few skins from the admin section that get used as normal, yet also have certain boards of your forum with their own CSS that overrides the admin created skin when you're in those particular boards.

I tried this once on my test forum, and it worked fine.
