Mood Theme: Instructions

Apr 07, 2008 16:24

I just thought, I could write a little thing for everything who doesn't know what to do exactly with a mood theme after downloading one. So, I hope this will help out.

Instructions

1. Download your chosen moodtheme and unzip it. Then upload the images to a site like Photobucket. It's important to leave the image names as they are.

2. Go to the Admin Console. In the box that appears there, type in

moodtheme_create "Title of Theme" "Description of Theme"

Replace "Title of Theme" with whatever you like but leave the "". Then click execute. If it's successful, you'll get a number. Copy the number and leave the page open.

4. In the zip file there is a file called admincodes.txt. Open it. There's already a similar number in there. You have to replace this one with the number you just got in the previous step.

You also need to replace http://www.yourserverhere.com/ with the URL from where you uploaded the moodthemes (for example photobucket).

Don't forget to make sure that the image sizes are correct, i. e. the numbers at the end of each line (for example 90 50). Othwerwise, your images will look distorted. Change them if necessary.

5. Copy the now edited commands and enter them in the Admin Console box where it says enter commands. Click execute.

If it was successful, it will tell you that the codes have been accepted. If that's not the case, check if maybe there's a mistake in the commands.

6. Go to your customize options page. Right at the top there is Mood Themes. Underneath you can find a drop-down menu from which you can choose. Your new theme is the bottom of the list with the title that you chose in step 3. Choose your theme and click save changes.

And that should be it. If anything isn't working, just ask. :)
