It's nice from you to give a thanks to the team. It doesn't happen often enough?TheButcher2 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2018 9:46 pm I am really pleased with phpbb and the support forum here on this community, I think I ma finally done with my forum and want to say thank you to everyone here who helped me out over the past 3 weeks.
If you have changes in the php-files and templates you could always try to re-apply those manually or use the autoupdate package. However autoupdate is always risky so my option would be manual (at least you'll know exactly what has been changed).TheButcher2 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2018 9:46 pm I have one final question, what happens when there is an update to 3.2.2 since I have monkeyed around with the script and prosilver file templates.
I am assuming any update to an updated version or the theme will sort of screw my existing changes.

I'm not familiar with twig, thanks for that. That will tidy some things up.

as for the changes to prosilv er here is what you can do to solve the updates overwriting your changes:
make a copy of the prosilver folder, save it to your computer.
change the name of the folder to whatever you want; mystyle, promine, etc.
doesn't matter.
now, open that folder and you will see a file named style.cfg
open that file in your text editor.
where it says style name =prosilver. change that to whatever you named the folder.
save, and then upload that renamed folder to your styles directory on the server.
now, go into your admin panel and click on the customise tab.
under install styles you will see your new custom style, install it,
on the board settings page, set it to default and guest and overwrite user to yes.
now, whenever you update, you simply replace all phpbb old files with new ones. that will overwrite the style named prosilver with brand new files.
now you have to find out what the prosilver changes were in the update and make those changes manually to your custom style
done.
