[3.x] Creating a skin for 3.x

My b2evolution Version: 3.x

Hi,

I am wanting to create a skin for the current 3.x beta of b2evolution.

I have seen the manual instructions for 0.x and 1.8+ such as this one;

http://manual.b2evolution.net/Create_a_new_skin

Is there a document currently in the same format that would allow me to have my own website template have PHP code added to it in order to do the same thing?

I have searched the website but I cannot find the equivilent information either in the wiki or the forum.

Any pointers are appreciated. I have my website and want to use this excellent program to provide a simple news feed from one of the blogs.

Thanks

Richard

Hello,

b2evolution v3.x's skin is actually "Skins v2.0" which you can find here: http://manual.b2evolution.net/Skins_2.0

From there, the changes from "b2evolution v2.x" to "b2evolution v3.x" are documented here: http://manual.b2evolution.net/Upgrade_from_2.x_to_3.x

I updated some of the pages and included the Category:Skins for easy reference ^_^ -> http://manual.b2evolution.net/Category:Skins

The best way to learn it will be to read the code of an existing b2evolution v3.x skin, I highly recommend the skin "evoCamp". But don't forget to take a look at "Custom" skin which have everything the current b2evolution version has to offer ^_^ (like the "Skin Settings" file _skin_class.php).

Hope that helps.
