Help convert themes to 1.4?

[Shaythong]

Hi, I haven't worked with MyBB in a while but I want to convert some of my old themes to MyBB 1.4.1: Andreas09 Isecore Blue.

Actually, the subGreen and Void theme wasn't that popular so I might not convert it. Is there any tips or help on how to convert them?

Thanks. :laugh:

Greetings Shaythong...,

So are you wanting someone to rewrite them for 1.4.x or are you asking how to do it yourself? I suggest just to rewrite the theme for 1.4.x rather than trying to convert from 1.2.x to 1.4.x themes. If you need someone to do it for you I may be able to schedule in some time in the next week or so to do it..., but I would want to add my linkage and details to your release docs as the editor an of the themes.

The best way to convert the themes to 1.4 is just remake them. That's what I did for all my 1.4 themes!

Why on earth would you do that??

Umm because if I have to take the time to rewrite the themes for 1.4.x that means that I have to write the code.., edit the css, edit the templates..., hence my work goes into the theme..., therefore my request for addition of my linkage and details to the themes release docs...., is understandable and would only be added as an addition to the theme authors details that are already in the docs..., so credit would be given where credit is due..., such is the case in open source development and many other communities..., all authors get credit.., when they submit work to a project.

Oh, I get it now, you mean if he wants you to do it. Sorry for the stupid question.

No worries FFW..., some times I am a lil brief and vague in my posts and sometimes I confuse folks a wee bit..., LOL..., so I am use to explaining myself too..., and then there are those times that I confuse even myself ..., haha!

@vintagedaddyo: Hi there! So what you're saying is that you can do it for free, only if you get your name and links (etc.) in the release read-me (or whatever) and in the footer (or whatever)? Sure you can do it if you'd like to. Only if you're not busy (don't want to rush anyone), maybe the Andreas09 Isecore Blue one.

If not then I'll try to rewrite it myself sometimes.

Yeah I will give Andreas09 a wirl at some point this week..., I always did love Andreas Viklund's work.

Thanks a lot! :bye: If there's any problems or it looks hard, plus do tell. :yes:

Well I got most of it done last night but I still gotta clean up a bit of the code and make the english buttons sometime this week before I can release it but here is a 1.4.x screenshot of the progress so far:
