I may be missing somethin obvious, but how do I register my custom theme into the mf_theme table in the database?

This is something being added as we speak (theme management ... including a 'table'-based theme), but currently this requires a manual addition to the mf_theme table. The crucial bits are:

• themeID: unique UUID
• name: the name that will appear in the dropdown
• packageName: the name of the directory you created in 'includes/themes'
• avatarWidth/avatarHeight/avatarProfileWidth/avatarProfileHeight: Meld Forums can automatically cut your avatars to a size that suits your theme. Just specify the final height/width for the threads (first set) and profile page (second set) (avatarDimensionType isn't currently used). You also have further settings in you Meld Forums Settings.
• directory: same as packageName
• defaultAvatar: you can add a custom default avatar by placing the image in the '/includes/themes/[your theme]/images' directory, then placing the image name in this column. You can also do this globally by placing the image in '/default/images/' directory instead.
• currently 0
• informational only. For tables, the standard would be 'CSS/Table'.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I have followed these instructions and the forum is coming through but for some reason the .css files are not coming through in the "\mura\plugins\meldforums_16\includes\themes\tass_forum\templates\layout\includes\headPlugin.cfm" file. It appears that the #pluginConfig.getDirectory()# is returning an empty string instead of "meldforums_16".

I have tried reloading the application, ColdFusion restarts, clearing the cache etc. but for some reason in this new directory it is missing. The directory path is correct when I dump it out in the other 2 themes. Is there a setting or a re-initialisation that I'm missing?

Thank you
