I want to restore default forum colors

I edited the subSilver template and I want to restore the defaults. Could someone help?

download the template folder from here:

http://files.nfoe.net/download.php?fnam ... Silver.zip

replace your template/subSilver folder with this, unless you have edited your template it other ways that you want to keep. This will return it back to original setup, when you first had phpbb installed.

Now lets say you added some other code, such as addons, so we don't want to overwrite that.

I assume you changed the color via the subSilver.css file in the subSilver folder on your ftp, thus download the above link and replace the css with the default one, then refresh your window for forums. If you made any changes to the actual files, the *.tpl files, then you can match up the defaults with the above download.

Hope that helps

Now I'm getting this error...

I replaced the whole subSilver template folder rather than just the .css file

thats an easy fix, check for these things:

1. Has the template named in the error has been uploaded to the templates/ directory?
2. Is the directory for this template named exactly as spelled in the error message? With the example above, subSilver would be correct, but subsilver would not.
3. Does a file exist in the template directory that has the same name as the directory plus a cfg extension, such as subSilver.cfg?
4. If this file does exist, is it named exactly as spelled in the error message? subSilver.cfg is correct, but subsilver.cfg is not the file phpBB needs.

It works now, but the colors are still the old ones. This template didnt seem to do anything.

Ok, I looked at the source and its reading from the css file, which has the color codes set.

I would check that you overwrote everything.

right click the page and hit view source if you have Internet Explorer, you can see the color codes used.

do you remember where you edited, ie which file you changed.

if you did changes to the base files, like index.php etc, then it would be permanent, regardless of the templates.
