Question for the future

[BeaMeR]

Alright I'm paying someone to make me template right now for http://www.GotBunkered.net" target="_blank and I was wondering when phpBB 2.2 is released will I have to have new skin made or what I mean I'm paying money for this will I have to again later ot what?

Your 2.0 template will not work with 2.2.

But should take less work to convert it over than it did the first time.

No, actually it will take much more time to convert it than create new style. Templates are very different in 2.0 and 2.2

[Tullamore]

Actually they are very much the same. Both are HTML files, although the 2.0.x version had the extension .tpl

The variable names have changed so they would need to updated for 2.2

The graphics for his style would already be created and the layout of the page will have be finalized. This will be a HUGE time saver.

I wouldn't think it would take more than a day to change over the templates to 2.2, they are very easy to work with. Of course that might depend on how familiar they have gotten with the CVS version all this time.

There are a number of new files and graphics that you'd have to create.

Will these new templates support php codes? (like on of your mods do)

what i was after was a zip file containin all the images used, so i can modify them to customize my template,

for example the cell headers, etc
