Post Images... Not showing!

[Koby]

The settings for skins aren't working or something. Because no matter what I set the settings to it still uses text for the post new thread, new poll, edit, modify, etc.. I want it to use images though. How do I fix this and make it use the images in the image folder? O.o

[Koby]

It's been almost 24 hours with no replies and this is now on page 6. O.o
Come on someone help me. The admin settings aren't changing it to images.

[Dannii]

Can you provide a link to your forum please.

Exactly which buttons do you want to use images? Can you take a screenshot of them for me? Because from what I can see there it looks fine.

[Koby]

For another skin (not default). All the links like on the same page as all the posts, etc.. are all text.. I have it set to be images and want them to be Images. I think its kind of retarded to even have the option of text instead of the images. O.o You should just edit the skin if you wanted text.. >_< So how do you get the settings to actually work and make everything use the images?

[Koby]

Over 36 hours no reply.. Page 9. Can't anyone tell me why it wont show images when set to and instead continues to use text? Gosh..

[Dannii]

Well, can you provide a link to that theme?

[Koby]

Every single theme is that way, including the default.

Draw a box around the text links that you want to be images please.

[Koby]

Why? I've told you what images..

They don't use images in Core. If you want images for those, then use another theme.

[Koby]

Then whats the option to use images in the themes section of the admin cp do then?

And how come some themes I downloaded to use is using text instead of the buttons like it has in the image folder? O.o

[Dannii]

It's for other themes. For Core, it's redundant. Same with the 'show linktree as a tree' option.

[Koby]

Okay.. so which skin file would be for that page so that I can recode it then?

Are you wanting to change the text of

You will find that in the languages folder. I think in index.<language>.php in /Themes/default/languages

or do you want to change the order they appear?
You will find that in Display.template.php in /Themes/<theme>
If your custom theme doesn't have a Display.template.php it will be in the default theme folder

If you want to remove some of them Check
Admin -> Permissions to remove permissions to use those.

Or is there something else you wish to do with them?

[Koby]

I'm wanting to change them to images.

[SleePy]

Some modifications need to be done then..
