I'm trying to use jForum as a module inside an application and I'm having a hard time with the HTML layout, as it's very pretty by default but does not fit with the overall style of the rest of the site. My quesstion is if there is a way of customizing the forum's appearance other than changing the standard provided templates.
Of course, if I change the templates I'll run into all sort of issues if I want to upgrade the jForum part of my site when a new release comes out.
What I'm looking for is some sort of "skins" that can be customized without changing the fundamentals or defaults that come with the package.
By the way, congratulations for jForum!!! This is a neat package!!!
Now there isn't the "skins" capability that I can see.
You can copy the default template and customize to fit your web site. You only have to change one setting in a config file to switch templates.
You can check out my site as an example if you'd like:
http://www.tknives.com. Click on the "forums" menu item to see how I've customized jforum to fit my site. I have JForum v. 2.1.6 running under
JBoss using mySQL.
