If you replaced the files in the download location, as instructed, copy the myTemplate/ folder from the templates/ folder there to either the template design board’s templates/ folder on the server or to the phpBB templates/ folder located in your local web server’s web root folder, depending on your setup.
Now go to your template design board. Either by accessing your local web server by entering localhost/phpBB2 in your browser’s location field, provided phpBB is located in the phpBB2 folder in your local web server’s web root directory. Or by going to the website address (URL) where the board is. Log in and go to the administration panel and click Add under Styles Admin, if everything was done correctly in the previous steps you should now see a template called myTemplate in the list of templates that you can install. Click “Install” next to it and you’re done.
Before we can start playing around with this template there are two things we should do: set it as default template for the board, and set it to override user styles, you can access these options by clicking Configuration under General Admin. By doing this you can see how well the template works both for guests and users that have logged in. Another advantage is that you won’t have to worry about logging in all the time. You’ll spend a lot of time making small changes in files and reloading in your browser to see the results.
Wow, wasn’t that easy? Or at least far from as hard as you’d imagined? It won’t get more difficult either, so on to the next chapter where we begin editing our newly created subSilver clone.
