Alright, I have phpnuke 6.5, with the phpBBport in and i'm trying to install a theme on the forum(only for the forum).However , everytime i try to install a theme(from the styles admin, i guess i have this right) it gives me an error :

Quote:

Warning: main(./../templates/forums/theme_info.cfg) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/program/program.hey.nu/modules/Forums/admin/admin_styles.php on line 78

Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening './../templates/forums/theme_info.cfg' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/program/program.hey.nu/modules/Forums/admin/admin_styles.php on line 78

and it says that it has installed it successfully, and after that i can't see the theme. The themes i used where fiapple and aeolus

Can someone help me, i would really appreciate it .

To what folder did u upload what files?

and you cant use themes from nukemods.. u cant take the 'forums' folder of the phpnuke theme and upload it to templates..

I've put the theme in the folder /modules/Forums/templates/(the theme's name)

You can't, and you shouldn't.
The themes in Nuke6.5 are now different. The Nuke theme and Forum template work together. The Forum tempalte should never be changed.
That is why you use a matching theme packs like we have here.

On top of it all, if you ABSOLUTLEY HAVE to change your Forum theme, you would have to use a PORTED template with the phpBB in Nuke.
You would have to download an original phpBB template and then PORT it to work with the phpBB in Nuke.

or as bosanac said, you can downlaod ALREADY ported templates over at http://www.mtechnik.net
Also, be aware, if you use a template for your Forums that is SEPARATE from your Nuke theme. Make sure your Nuke theme does not contain a forums folder. If it does, remove it.
