Title: Does anybody know how to make a faucetbox theme?
Post by: jsmit332 on July 27, 2015, 03:41:16 PM
Hello bitcointalk,

I am trying to create a faucet and  want to make a custom theme. I can make static pages but making themes for things like faucetbox i find hard because all the PHP throws me off. Is there a tutorial or some documentation out there?

Be sure that you're editing the template file instead of the functionality file. The template file that you want to change is /templates/default/index.php

Making a new file is more trouble that it's worth imo, what problems are you having?

To be honest i just think im being to ambitious with my design, i should keep it more simple.

Start small, Implement your features and elements one by one.

It'd be better to start with one of their default themes and customize it as a separate theme.

Could even make a copy of the site on a subdomain that isnt used by the main/live and make all your changes and testing there. then push it all to the live install once your sure it works/looks good.

in order to see the php offline on your local machine, just download and install the xampp stack.

Be sure that you're editing the template file instead of the functionality file. The template file that you want to change is /templates/default/index.php

Are you good with HTML? faucetbox templates are very basic and can be easily customized. You may be looking at the wrong file if you are running into complications.
