Installing new skin - NO xml file
 

Okay!

Recently (testerday in fact) I bought a skin from http://www.templatefreak.com, not only did it NOT come with an xml file, it came with no instructions at all! THIS is all I could find in their faq's.

5. What is a Template Freak's Vb skin template?

A VBulletin Skin is a pre-made skin (look) for your vbulletin message board. All skins come with photoshop, images and html files only, which means that you will be able to use it on your message board as soon all the php (mysql) is put in its place and all customizations have been made.

What exactlly do I do?

Mmmhmm; They aren't really vbulletin designers it looks like.

Here's what I suggest you do - Attempt to take the html files and split them so they create a header and a footer which can fit the vbulletin content in it.

Take the header code and put it in the template "header" and the footer code and put it in the "footer" template.

You're going to need to change all the css on the "all style options" page also.

If you need help installing this, I suggest posting an integration request into the services request forum.

Much Regards,

Actually, before i learned to design my own vb skins, i purchased a skin from these people. On their website the button says "vbulletin" skins...i contacted them VIA phone and they told me they are skins ready to be coded into vbulletin. I talked to him and asked for a refund and they said they do not do that. I think this is false advertising. But i dont know what you guys think...

If you paid for a vb skin and did not receive it. I would contact my cc company and contest the sale. I would contact them and tell them that you are going to do this and give them the opportunity to make things right first. Seems to me that they gave you what you would need BUT you have to customize it to be used with VB and that is not what you asked for....

False advertising? Maybe. Misleading? Definately.
