How to set your own colors and settings
First of all, open config.php by a text editor and go through the settings!
If you'd like to involve some parts of your site in the forum, you can do it using the files
incl/cust-top.inc (header) and
incl/cust-bot.inc (footer).
Everything in both files will appear at the top and respectively at the bottom of the forum pages.
Take a note that you mustn't put there any starting and ending HTML tags such as <html></html>, <head></head>, <body></body>.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
--- any data from 'incl/cust-top.inc' goes here ---
... forum goes here ...
--- any data from 'incl/cust-bot.inc' goes here ---
</body>
</html>
The file
incl/cust-top.inc currently contains two different multi-forum navigation bars and links to the wap version and the RSS feeds.
You can replace the title EasyForum! 2.x appearing at the top of the forum with any other title you wish or just insert an image tag: (
lang-xx.inc, line #6).
If you do not expect visitors from other countries you can make the forum show your local time, the months in your language etc.
Replace the function time_offset(){...} (
config.php) with the following lines:
---
function time_offset($s){
setlocale (LC_TIME,'xx_XX');
$time_format="%d %b %Y, %H:%M";
return strftime($time_format,$s);}
---
where xx_XX is your country code:
NETHERLANDS = nl_NL (on Win systems: nld_nld)
FRANCE = fr_FR (on Win systems: fra_fra)
UNITED KINGDOM = gb_GB (on Win systems: gbr_gbr)
SWEDEN = se_SE (on Win systems: swe_swe)
SOLOMON ISLANDS = sb_SB (on Win systems: slb_slb)
etc etc etc
more country codes: http://www.unicode.org/onlinedat/countries.html
arguments for $time_format: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php
Finally, replace $show_time=gmdate('H:i',$current_time+$user_time*3600); (
config.php) with: $show_time='';
It is recommended to hide the IP addresses of your users by using a .htaccess files in all data and backup directories (an example can be found in /data).
For best results (an obligation on systems that do not support .htaccess) we recommend changing the names of all data and backup directories.
(Do not forget to register these changes in
config.php)
