Decent Template HowTo · **Released**: 06-20-2003

I'm relatively experienced with HTML & PHP, and I'm wondering whether a decent How-To document exists on modifying VBulletin templates?

I've opened a few vbulletin.style files in a decent text editor and it seems like basic html, though very little of the code listed seems to correspond with the actual forum, and those that do have ambiguous names (postbit etc)

I could guesswork and hack my way through it, but what I really need is a decent HowTo, or alternatively a 'vbulletin.style' file download with proper descriptions of what each of the various code sections actually does.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried looking in the Admin Control Panel ---> Templates (all the way at the bottom in vB2)...? I mean, I don't mean to insult or anything...

The vbulletin.style is edited through the CP (Style Settings, Templates etc.) so thats where you can modify it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
